 TEN AT ANCHORAGE

SEWARD. Oct. 8. - On the charge of selling liquor at Anchorage, ten purchasers Of lots at the recent gov. ernment sale have been indicted by tho Federal grand pury at Valdez One of the rules of the new township, im- posed by the government, stipulates that no liquor shall be sold within the limits of the recently established city, and if convictions result from these ten indictments the culprits will for felt their lots as well as the money which they have paid on them.
 Rumor has been rife for many weeks in regard to gambling, liquor dealing and other practices prohibited by Che government and the ten indictments just returned come as the result of an investigation into the matter by federal officials.
 There is more or less talk here among the business men of the city in connection with the proposition of re- questing that Anchorage be permitted to incorporate and handle it's own af- fairs as other cities in the Territory handle theirs.
