 Fire insurance rates in Alaska seem to depend not only on how much fire protection is provided, but whether that protection protects. In other words. the rate in a town with volun- teer fire department, which has the good fortune to stop all blazes at the . beginning, is lower than in towns where a fire gets away. Following out recent . events it is interesting to note that the insurance rate at Valdez, which had a disastrous fire this summer has been increased to a figure over l5 per cent greater than that paid in Seward. The | moral to this-have plenty of fire pro lection and make it protect--Seward . (Alaska) Post

 The derelict sighted adrift 230 miles off Triange island on January 28 by Capt. K. Chiba, master of the Japanese steamer Kumi Maru, now in Seattle from points in the Far East, is the storm battered wreck of the two masted schooner Volante, famous in years gone by as an Arctic trader. The Vol ante, laden with a cargo of salt and empty barrels, left Petersburg in tow of the gas boat Penguin and Gjoa on January 6. A great northerly gale was blowing and the Volante broke adrift at the entrance to Chatham strait, After considerable difficulty the tugs succeeded in taking off the schooner's master, Capt. John A. Einmo, formerly a Seattle fish dealer, and her crew of five men. Carried faster and faster before the gale the Volaute drifted southward past Cape Omauey aud then out to sea. Capt. Einmo and his men were taken to Petersburg, where the loss of the Volaute was repOrted.-P.L
 Capt. c. II. Nicholson, manager of the Grand Trunk PaciHc's coast steamship announced Wednesday morn ing that plans for entering the Alaska trade the coming summer had been approved, says the Seattle P.-L The arrival at this conclusion was aided by the large nun Der of inquiries made by agents throughout the United States and Canada, particularly in the East, for service and space to Alaskan points. The tourist traffic to Alaska this year is expected to exceed that of any prev ious years. The American people as whole are in a very prosperous condi- ton and their journeys for pleasure during the coming summer will be cir cumscribed by the war conditions pre- vailing in Europe. While the service may be inaugurated by one of the smaller steamers of the company it is proposed during the tourist season to run the steamers Prince Rupert and Prince George through from Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver to Prince Ru- pert, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau and Skagway A tri weekly service will be between Seattle and Prince Rupert in connection with the trains of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway and weekly service from Prince Rupert to Skagway. The excellent record which these two vessels made in the operation of the tri-weekly service between Se= attle and Prince Rupert last year proved conclusively their ability to un. dertake heavier duties and cover larger .-r.il,.rr-

 ENTIRELY CLEAR FEW CASES ARE TRIED
Only One Conviction Obtained in p Cases DOcketed, Remainder Being
 Dismissed or Continued.

All criminal cases set for trial at the present term of the Faulkner cir cult court were cleared from the dock ct this morning, and unless some new cases on indictments brought in by the present grand jury are put on trial there will be no further work for the court in the criminal division.
 Out of about p criminal cases dock eted only one conviction has been ob- tained, that being a plea of guilty to a charge of drunkenness by Press Bean, resulting in fine of $10. Another case against Bean was dismissed.
 Two jury trials held yesterday aft ernoon both resulted in the acquittal of the defendants. Charley Wells was charged with carrying pistol and Bob Spencer with selling liquor. the juries returning verdicts of not guilty in both cases. 4 second case against Spencer was dismissed.
 J. II. Gibson, witness in the Spen- cer case, for whom an attachment was issued yesterday, was fined $25 for contempt of court. Similar charges against Jesse Anthony and Arthur Shock, state witnesses in the case against Charley Wells, were dismissed. A contempt case against J. E. Harris was dismissed as to Harris. but his bondsmen were ordered to appear in court next term and show cause why the bond should not be forfeited.
 Appeal cases against Robert Jack son and Dent Martin were dismissed. The following state cases were con- tinued for the term: W. F.. Hender- son, false pretense; Noah Dowdy. sell ing liquor; Francis Shumate, aggra- vated assault.
 The grand jury this morning re- turned four more indictments, bring ing the total for the term to 12. Three of today's indictments were for felonies. The misdemeanor case was a charge of assault against o. s. Russ, for an alleged attack upon I. R. Reynolds. Russ this afternoon enter ed plea of guilty and was fined S25. Felony indictments were returned against Henderson Spencer and c. H. Spencer, charged with forgery, and Grover Smith, charged with grand larceny.

 The suit of J. A. Montgomery against the Little Rock Lumber and Manufacturing Company was tried before jury this morning, a verdict giving the plaintiff judgment for $20O being returned. The plaintiff alleged the indebtedness for a quantity of logs supplied to the defendants.
 1t is now believed that court will adjourn for the session on Thursday. One or two civil cases are docketed for trial on that day, and the grand jury also has some witnesses sum moned for Thursday. Beyond that nothing has been set and it was thought at the courthouse today that Thursday would see the end of the session.
