were full of dead and wounded.

KNIVES ARE A SUCCESS

''Jim'' Sehlothan reports that the knives on his new filling machine work perfectly. He has been giving them tryout this week and found that they will cut through the biggest bones on King salmon without any effort. From this it would appear that the machine is going to work all O. K. under actual working con ,iitions. The knives are circular, one working inside the other, and cut the fish cleanly the right size for the can, and without mashing it. This will result in better results in the operation of the machine over those now in use, and produce better ap- bearing product when same is taken
 rom the can.

FROM FRIDAYS RALLY NEW MACHINERY INSTALLED

W. J. Sully, the carpenter was in receipt recently of additional machin- cry for his woodworking plant, which he has installed and now has in oper ation. This makes MT. ully's plant the most modern and complete in this region. Each piece of machinery is driven by an individual motor of which there are eight in all, doing away with shafting and belts and thus increasing the capacity of the shop The latest addition to his plant consists of a variety saw, n over mortiser, and an arm sander for bench work. The last mentioned machine is wander and we'll worth seeing in operation. A new feature for this region is an exhaust fan to keep the air in the shop free from dust, which the machine accomplishes to charm. The greater part of the machinery installed is from the fam ous J. A. Fay X Egan factory, noted as the producers of the finest wooa- working machinery in the world.

Juneau, May Judge Jennings has appointed men to take a census of every resident within two miles O. the saloon district of Juneau and Douglas, and has appointed May 24 IS election day to decide whether the two towns mentioned shall be "wet"
 dry' during the coming year. His notice of the election states that un tess d majority of such residents ac- tuallv vote in favor of the saloons the same will be closed. This means that all people not voting will bo counted as "dries'' The opinion prevails here that this decision will out the saloons out of business all aver the first division, as the same policy will be followed in the other towns. The saloon interests here claim that this ruling is arbitrary, and that the wet and dry question should be settled by a majority of the votes actually east, and not on the census taken.

TUG CAPTAIN IN TROUBLE

Captain H. II. Robinson of the tug Commodore was placed under arrest on the tugs arrival here on the com plaint of the Immigration Depart ment that he had brought an alien in to the country and allowed same to land without reporting to the offic- ials.

Cos grove, and then allowed to proceed to Hadley where he will make arrange ments to furnish either cash or bond bail for $1,000 for his appearance for trial. The charge against Capt. Rob inson is that when he came north a- bout the first of April from Anyox, B. C., an alien named Harry Stack slowed himself away On the tug and was discovered on the way up. When found he stated that though of for eign birth he had become an Ameri- can citizen owing tothc fact that he had served in the U. s. army, and the tugs officers accepting what he said as truth allowed him to land at Had. ley without reporting him as so doing.

OUT OF THE FRYING
 PAN INTO THE FIRE

Harry Stack, who it is claimed is illegally in the country having snug gled himself in on board the tug Commodore, in trying to evade deport- ment as being illegally in the country, has gotten himself into worse fix. In his defense he claimed to have serv- ed term of enlistment in the U. S.. army and received an honorable dis. charge.

Two of the crew of the steamer Paraiso. learning on arrival here that their ship was going in to Ladysmith on her way south, left the ship at this port. The men are Germans, who have not taken out papers to become American citizens. The recent order of the British Columbian government to authorities at the different ports of that province to arrest all Ger man subjects on vessels entering such ports, was the cause of the men leav- ing the ship. as they did not want to take any chances on being interned by the B. C. authorities.

MUST PAY TAXES OR
 THEY CAN'T SUE

Valdez,-Judge Fred Nj. Brown ren- dered decision in the United States District Court that is pregnant with wide possibilities in Alaska trade matters when he ruled that a corpor- ation organized under the laws of another State which has failed to file its articles of incorporation in Alas ka, or to pay it's corporation taxes and failed to appoint an agent here upon whom service of legal processes may be served, cannot sue for moneys due or alleged to be due in an Alas kan court.
 The decision was rendered in the case of the w. J. Van Scuyver com pany, wholesale liquor company, of Portland, Oregon, against Oscar Breed man, a Mccarthy saloon-keeper. The suit was to recover judgement for $500 for whiskey alleged to have been sold and delivered.
 The decision, if sustained on ap- peal, will make it impossible for cor porations from without Alaska, which have not complied with the corpor- ation laws of the Territory, to col lect accounts owing them in Alaska.
 If Judge Browns conception of the law is correct it will add to the reve- nues of Alaska because it will compel all the outside corporations which sell goods to Alaska to pay corporation tax within the Territory.
