FOUR CASES DISPOSED
OF IN MAYORS COURT

Three young Chastian brothers.
Tom, Alice and Harold, were ar
raigned in the municipal court Mon
day morning, on the charge of unlaw.
fully discharging firearms within the
city limits Complaint was made by
w. X. Wesburg, who claimed that the
boys had annoyed him by shooting on
his premises Christmas day. Because
of the insufficiency of the evidence
against them, the cases against two
of the lads were dismissed, but Alice,
the youngest boy, was ordered by
Mayor Titus to pay fine of $500,
to include the costs.
Paul Wells and T. c. Pasco, both
colored habitues of coontown, were
present to answer to the charge of
having been disorderly in pool pal,
ace" for negroes. Paul promptly
pleaded guilty when given the oppor-
tunity, but Pasco couldn't see 1t that
way: so the matter was threshed out
with more or less interesting detail.
From the testimony adduced it was
evident that Paul had "cussed at and
otherwise threatened Pasco, the latter
having been delinquent in liquidating
certain obligation to the aggressOr.
His honor regretfully commanded
Paul to pay two pairs Of "plunks" for
his persecution" of Pasco. Here is
Wells version of what occurred:

MOONLIGHT FLIGHT
MADE BY RUTH LAW
AccoMpL IsHES THRILLING FEAT
WHICH FEW AvlATORS HAVE
PERFORMED WITHOUT LOSING
THEIR LIVES.

Making an aeroplane flight after
dark, a feat which, it is said, has
been successfully performed by no
other aviator in America, was accom-
plished by Ruth Law at ten O'Clock
Saturday night, from the hangar on
the beach at Seabreeze, this being
one of the novel and thrilling features
associated with the opening of the
Nautilus casino.
The daring lady flyer got away with
out the slightest mishap, quickly as
cended to a height where she could
no longer been seen even in the bright
moonlight, then descended and cir
cled the aviation field number OF
times, finally landing gracefully with
in a few feet of her starting point.
Despite the chilly atmosphere

was because the people neither had suitable boilers nor stoves with which to give the fuel a fair test.
 When the operators of the Fair banks district start using the Nenana coal, it will be necessary for them to get suitable grates and apparatus or they will find the fuel impracticable.
 Dr. Brooks has not had an oppor- tunity to visit the coal fields in many years, but he has a storehouse of information regarding the conditions in the Nenana.
 When the railroad is completed, Dr. Brooks thinks that the Nenana coal will be landed here so cheaply that it will be used by the majority of the spsoplel in preference to the high grade anthracite, which will be mined in the Matanuska.

Republican candidate for the next delegate election declared that he had given the matter but little considera- tion as he believed that the election was too distant for politics to begin warming up and that he was very busy man in connection with his m:n- ing business.
 The action of the Nome republicans is believed to be based on an incident which happened in Valdez last fall following the returns of the election showing that Judge Bunnell had been defeated. At that time Senator Mil lard told the Judge that he had stayed by him to the finish and believed that he himself could have been elected if given equal support and stated that he would probably be the republican can didate at the next election. when Bun nell would have the opportunity of re- turning the favor.
 After reviewing the political situa- tion in Alaska as he sees it, Senator Willard made the following statements regarding his possible candidacy:
 q feel very grateful to the Repub- lican club of Nome for their endorse ment of me for Delegate to Congress.
 q am not prepared at this time to definitely state what action I will take politically during the next campaign. It is too early in the game and many things depend. Among them l might mention the condition of the republican organization throughout the States, what policy they propose to

Then again should Secretary Lane succeed in getting through his proposition of establishing a commission to take charge of all federal affairs in Alaska there will not be much left for a delegate in congress or the Territorial legislature to do thereafter.
 "At this time I am not an avowed candidate for any office and much de bends on conditions months hence. If the Democrats, Republicans, Social ists and Wickersham men put can didate in the field the outcome will be somewhat uncertain, but I am in clined to believe the Wickersham crowd would win out

BUREAU OF MINES [ WILL I [ 5 I
 NENANA COAL

When Dr. Alfred H. Brooks leaves over the trail for the coast and the outside. says the Fairbanks Times, he will take with him a small sample G. Ignite coal, taken from the Nenana fields by Thomas Riggs, Jr., on his last trip to that district. The coal is to be taken to Washington, where it will be examined and analysed for the Alaska engineering commission by the bu- reau of mines. There is no question that the Nenana coal is a high grade of Ignite but the commission wishes to have an authentic report from the bureau of mines.
 When interviewed yesterday re garding the Nenana coal, Dr. Brooks said that it had all of the chemical qualities necessary to good Ignite coal, and the only thing lacking, in the way of determining the values of the fuel, is the steaming test. As the navy is not interested in the coal, it is impossible to make steaming test, as it would cost about $4O,OO0, and the departments have not seen fit to set aside this amount. AS soon, however, as the railroad is running through the new coal field, the govern ment will have an opportunity to give the coal a steaming test. -.~- ' Tn speaking of tests. Dr. Brooks said that the people of the Interior ought to give the coal a fair trial, before offering any criticism. Sev- eral years ago, he says, the people of the upper Yukon river declared that the coal found there was not suit able for any use but later it develop ed that the coal was of substantial commercial value. and at the present time it is used on the White Pass railroad.

Waiting on Petitions.
The Granville road which was prac-

rains will not be in shape for use be-
fore at least five weeks. The county
commissioners are waiting for petit
to be presented by farmers between
North Topeka and Granville. Thirty
days must elapse before these can be
acted upon. After this formality is
completed, the work will be rushed
at full speed.
The expense of putting the road in
shape will not be heavy, it is believed.
At the point where the road crosses
the railroad tracks, a mile and q half
from North Topeka, the location must
be changed. The greatest item of ex-
pense therefore will be for the pur-
chase of land.
