INTERESTING HISTORY OF
 OLD SITKA LANDMARK
(The Verstovian, Sitka)

One of Sitkas landmarks, the old saw mill owned by W. F. Mills Company, has been torn down. This was one of those landmarks we were not loath to see go, for its position, situated as it was caused an abrupt turn in our main street, making it dangerous corner.
 While the honk-honk of the automobile is almost unknown in Sitka, yet we are re- minded of its sound when Mills " cycle delivery wagon goes by. It wih+ be only question of short time before they will be here, and we are little more ready for them by this Improvement.
 This building was razed in short order, and the quickness was caused by the fact that Mr Mills turned over to those who wanted the lumber used in its construction the tearing down of the building, and a night and day asw little left of it.
 The age of this building is not known, but it would be safe to say it was the first sawmill in Alaska, and it was erected and run by the Russians prior to Alaska's pur- chase by the United States.
 The American Russian Company owned the building, along with several other prop ereties, one of these being the grounds on which our school stands, and which through neglect of their agents to look properly after its title Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson was able to get for the school.
 Mr. Mills kindly loaned us a document that was turned over at the time of the purchase of properties from the American Russian Company, ard which contains ;1-

"SCOTTY" DIDN'T STEAL
 FROM JIMMY THE BAKE

In Commissioner Albrecht's court last Monday morning the case of the United States vs William Dee was tried before jury, and resulted in the acqulttal of the defendant.
 Dee, who is better known as 'Scotty," was arrested on 8 complaint sworn out by James Tropea, who charged the defendant with orbbing his woodpie. Neither the government nor the accused was repre- sented by counsel. Tropes was the only witness for the prosecution, He testified to the fact that he had seen Dee helping himself to his fuel and had accosted him on the subject. The defendant, in ques tioning the witness, brought out that it had been customary for him to borrow wood from the complainant and later to return it. and that on the occasion in ques ton he had stated to Tropea that such was his intention.
 ''Scotty" also took the stand in his own behalf, and his testimony and argument" as the court designated it, evidently con- vlnced the jury of his honesty of intention, as verdict was soon arrived at which freed him of the charge, in spite of the argument he put up

Historic House for Pioneers Home

The Pioneers home at Sitka recently re- ceived valuable Christmas present in the form of additional lands and quarters, On December 23 A. G. Shoup, superintendent of the institution, gave a receipt to H. A. Crowell, custodian of the United States naval depot at Sitka for the building and grounds last used as naval hospital. The lot or parcel of ground is S0x100 feet. The building has eight rooms and two baths. The vacant land is suitable for gardening, and will be prized by the inmates of the home for that use The building is in bad repair, according to Superintendent Shoup, but can be fixed up and used advan- tageously. The building has great historic value. It is a log structure and was constructed about seventy years ago, dur ing Russian occupation, and was formerly the governors house. The building has since been covered with weatherboarding
 Later it was acquired by the navy depart ment and converted into a hospital. It has not been in use since the discontinu- ance of the naval station at Sitka. The United States forestry service of Alaska wanted the building and made application for it. The matter was referred to the ter. ritorial officials by Secretary Lane, and it was decided that the building could not be Drt to bette, LES thsn to make it rfSt

DEATH OF BILL" STEWART
 AT PIONEERS HOME

William Stewart. one of the oldest pio- neers of Alaska and the Yukon, died at the Pioneers home in Sitka last night. The immediate cause of death was ulcer of the stomach He was about 6S years of age, native of Scotland, and unmarried. He had no relatives in this country, so far as IS known.
 William Stewart was one of the real trail blazers of the country a prospector and miner of the old type He came to Juneau among the very first, along with Dick liar ris and Joe Juneau This was in the early 'S0s. In 1885 he was rocking the bars of Stewart river, which stream was named in his honor. In 1886 he was at Fortymlle, and was one of the discoverers of Franklin gulch of that stream.
 He came to Juneau after several years in the Interior, but was again caught in the Klondke excitement and went to Dawson in 1897. Two years later he was again fol lowing the stampede to Nome, arriving there in the fall of '99 In 1912, by invitation of his old partner, Howard Hamilton, he went Outside to make his home, but the irresist- ible call of the North caught him at Seattle and he again came to Juneau.
 All of the old timers in Juneau speak in the highest terms of praise for the deceased. The little cabin which he built for his Ju- neau home in the early days is still standing, and is located back of the Koski boarding house, at Fourth and Franklin streets. It was built in the early sos.
 The dead man entered the Sitka Pioneers home less than a year ago.-Juneau Elm pire, Dec 29.

The Broad Pass section, which is at tracing much attention at this time, and from which have come sensational reports concerning the lodges of gold, silver and copper ore to be found there, IS not a new field. The property which the Wells boys are reported to have sold to the Gug- genheims through Tom Aitken is said to have been discovered at least eight years ago, and some work done on it.

INTERESTING ART DISPLAY
 AT LOCAL BUSINESS HOUSE

There has been on display for the past week or more at the store of Miss M. Peter son a display of water color paintings the work of Mrs. Lottie Thornton, which has created great deal of interest. The exhl- bition has been somewhat in the nature of a surprise to many of the residents of ldlta- rod, and the comment passed upon it has been highly complimentary to the artist and appreciative of her talent While much of the work comprises copies of the work of famous artists, there are some original studies which have been treated in man ner indicative of much ability and artistic merit.
 A study of roses, from the original by Longpre, probably has attracted the most attention. In this the artist has displayed rare skill and ability. Several delightful landscapes are also on view, and the ex- l quiste taste with which the colors have been handled, together with the excellent quality of the drawing, has resulted in the production of some really meritorious work.
 The artist has in course of completion a timely poster which will undoubtedly com | mand much attention. It represents a l Red Cross nurse enveloped in the folds of | the American flag, and IS entitled Neu- trality" The model who posed for the central figure was one of Idtarod's loveliest young women, and the artist has succeeded in depicting charming portrait. The pie ture gives the impression that to fight and bleed for ones country would be no great l hardship if attended by such a nurse. This creation of Mrs. Thorntons is destined for | the cover of prominent Eastern magazine. | The work of Mrs Thornton will be on display for some days yet and those of our citizens who have not yet visited the ex- hibit should do so, as it will amply repay | them
