Miss Anna Jansa
 Going to Europe

Advices received by The Citizen from Seattle are to the effect that Miss Anna Jansa who left Fair banks late in the summer for the Outside. had decided to go to Eur and enter the hospitals of Germany as nurse. She had not left Seat tie when the information was sent but it is supposed that before now she is on her way across the Atlantic.
 The letter received states that Miss Jansas brother, Fred (Mushon) who will be well remembered here was greatly opposed to her going He pointed out to her that as she was not an American citizen. it would be hard for her to get a passport She was not to be dete"red by suc' arguments, however, and, accordin 2 to the letter, "Mushon" was think ing of hiding her trunk, knowing that she could not get away without it.
 "Mushon" is running one of his famous "Chil con Carne" restaur- ants in connection with the Mec- ca saloon. on Union street, in Seat tie. Al DuckwitZ. also formerly very well known here, is manager of the saloon.

HA|Nz|NCER IS
 PLAINTIFF IN
 TO[OVANA SUIT
FIRST IMPORTANT CASE FROM TOlOVANA COUNTRY
 IS FILED.

The first law suit of any import Gnco originating in the new Tolo vana mining district, was filed in the clerk of courts office here last Wednesday afternoon by George Hainzinger, who is suing Harry Pat terson and F. H. Mack. The pray CT in the complaint asks that the plaintiff be awarded a one-third in terest in the lease recently secured by Patterson from Dave Cascaden on the lower 800 feet of the Deep Channel association claim on Lig- engood creek. or one-third inter- est in all of the ground on that clain, held under lease by Patterson. He also asks that the defendants be compelled to pay the costs of the suit.
 The complaint sets forth that Hainzinger, Patterson, Finlay and William Ahlmark entered a verbal agreement last winter for the pur- pose of mining in the Tolovana, eacn to have a quarter interest in all mining property handled. On August 27. of this year, Ahlmark sold his interest in the lease to Patterson for about S2 900, according to the complaint Other than that change the partnership remained the same until October 12, when Patterson and Finlay took the lease on the lower 800 feet of the claim on which they all took out good money last summer, and told Hainzinger that he was not included in the agree ment
 Up until that time. according to the complaint, Patterson had kept all of the books of the concern. On that date he turned them over rc E. H. Mack, who has since refused to let the plaintiff see them The complaint therefore also asks that the defendants be compelled to make an accounting to the court for the gold taken out of the ground.
 The complaint also states that Patterson claims to have bought the interest of Ahlmark personally but the allegation of the plaintiff is that he bought it with checks rienad "H. ]. Pattersc9 < Co" T. is also claimed in the complaint that Hainzinger was paid the sum of $2,22l 46 m a check signed H. J. Patterscn X Co, which was supposed by the plaintiff to be a dividend.
 The complaint also alleges that Patterson took money of the con cern which did not lawfully belong to him, in that he charged large sums to his credit for overtime. r. states that over and above their dividends, Patterson was to receive BIO per day for his work as book keeper and manager of the concern: Finlay, $7 per day for acting as en. gineer, and that the plaintiff was to get $6 per day for working as lahorer

Lumber Is Scarce
 In the Tolovana

That lumber is about the sCarcesi article in the necessity line in the Tolovana country at the present time. is the statement contained :n letter received from the ncW camp by The Citizen during the past week All of the lumber cut dur ing the summer and fall months is now practically used up in the eX- tensive construction work being done at Brooks, and the mills are work isg overtime to supply the demand and are successful at that, now that the trails are good and thy com inodity can be hauled without eN- cessive cost. Before the freezeup the price for hauling a load of lumber from Westfork to Brooae was $40. as teams could not be se cured for any less amount And they could only make one trip per day. Now. however, everybody is busily engaged in hauling lumber.
 Building logs are very scarce and expensive. according to the letter. Nevertheless, many log buildings, as will as those built of lumber, are gong up. mere are at least o' cabins on Telegraph Hill. or the place where the wireless station is located Stores, bunkhouses. restau- rants and saloons are going up as fast as the lumber for their con struction can be hauled.
 The weather on Livengood creek is stated to be about ten degrees colder than in Fairbanks by com parative estimate. About two inches of snow has already fallen, and. al though slcdding is not particularly god yet, the snow has helped a great deal. As soon as the trails get better. t js expected that many If the Liyengood operators wilt im port big machinery and commence their winter mining operations.
 From other sources 1t Is learned that water is scarce article at Brooks A small spring was found near the town during the summer but late arrivals report that it is now entirely frozen up. and that the inhabitants of Brooks are forced to melt ice from the creek. It i expected that before long it will he necessary io haul ice from the lake near No. l. below for a water sup ply.

MARSHAL RENDERS REPORT.

The report of the U. s. Marshal 5 Der l, was rendered to the court and accepted last week. It shows that the expenditures of the office dur ing the quarter were S62.362.06, as compared with an expenditure of S49,729.59 during the September quarter of 1914. The increase is ev- plained by the fact that S17,037.1G was paid out during the quarter just reported upon as salaries of federal officials. The expenditures of the quarter were therefore smaller this year than last.

Out Of MI of the people who Golden aIc getting married in Past Fairbanks these days do
 not seem to realize how lucky they ale to be in a place where they can realize the benefits of civilization along those lines. Even al that all that is needed here is a preacher or court officer to tie the knot and the ceremony IS performed. Only late law passed by the Alaska legislature made 1t necessary for marriage contracts to be recorded and there are now many marriageable people in the territory who do not know yet that the law has nothing whatever 10 say con- corning the securing of a marriage license before a ceremony of mar riage is performed such as is GUS tomary Outside.
 Quite different are the times now however, to what they were in the old golden past In those days com m- T law marriages were common, anG there are many couples livinc together today who were hap oily welded without benefit of clergy
