low minimum of the last two years:
The failures for the third quarter OF
the year were likewise the smallest

for nine months of this year there were

though with that exception they were
the largest number ever reported for

A Measure of Activity.-That bust

clearly shown by the marked expansion

United States, amounting to no less

as contrasted with the corresponding
period in 1913.

POSSESSION NOT UNLAWFUL

That possession of liquor is not pro
hibited under the statewide prohibi-
tion law, nor its transportation, un-
less it is shown that it was transport
ed for use as a beverage, was in sub
stance the ruling by Judge Carl A.
Davis and Charles. p. Mccarthy Sat
urday morning in the district court.
1t was argued that the statewide
prohibition law did not provide any
penalty for transporting or having
liquor in possession unless it was
shown to be transported for beverage
purposes, and the court sustained this
contention.
1t was held that the staewide law
made Ada country dry and its provis-
ions governed except where some
prior law is no inconsistent with the
The mere possession in not prohib
tied, nor the transporting, unless, al
provided in the law, it is transported

Mccarthy Joins the Wet Ranks

After a year of self-denial and depriVa- ton, after twelve months of parched thoughts and depressed spirits, the people of McCarthy the metropolis of the kenne colt region, have experienced change of heart and once more joined the ranks of the "wets," and several applications for sa- loon licenses for that town have been re ceived, says the Valdez Miner. The first application, that of John Amber, wes up for hearing before Judge Brown on March 10. The census to determine the status of the town on the liquor question was com Ileted short time ago, and the results showed that tifty-three residents of the town favored the granting of liquor licenses, thirty-Cne were opposed to having the "de mon rum'' in their midst, while eleven were indifferent and refused 10 vote. As those not voting are presumed to be opposed to the granting of licenses, and are so counted the majority in favor of saloons was eleven and at the discretion of the court the resi- dents of Mccarthy probably will be able to indulge their thirst for the coming year at several places where the beverages which stimulate will be sold.

SAD MARITAL EXPERIENCE
 OF FORMER IDITARODER

The following from the San Francisco Bulletin of February 22 relative to the mar ital troubles of Bill" Wise, a former Idit- arod resident, will be read with interest here:
 Two months of married life was enough for William Nj. Wise, former propretor ot the Normandie hotel and his pretty young wife. Mrs. Etta Steinburg Churchill Wise, whom he married December ,.
 Wise is living at the St, Francis hotel, and his bride is residing with her father, Sigmond Steinberg of the Greater City Lum- Der Company, at the Hotel Normandie, which Wise sold to his father in-law shortly after his marriage.
 Mrs. Wise refuses to discuss the matter, saving that the separation may be only temporary.
 Wise, however, says that there will be no reconciliation
 As soon as I married Mrs Churchill v said Wise this morning, her family began making it uncomfortable for us My wife sided in with her family, and her father got me to sell out the hotel to him. Every thing was amicably settled. Mrs. Wise and are still on speaking terms. simply moved out We're just mismated. Shes a very fine girl. and I'm the wrong fellow

JUDGE BUNNELL COMPRISES
 ABOUT THE INDECENT FUND
Fairbanks Times, March POI

'l wish you'd work out problem for me" said Judge Bunnell last night. I'm wondering how l am going to make SS54 do the work of about Sl,400, and l find Tb up against it."
 The judge was talking about the fund at his disposal for the care of the indigents of the Fourth judicial division He has five of them on his hsnds, and the prob lem which now confronts him IS how to care for them during the present quarter, or the months of January February and March at the rate of S3 per day each. The average cost of their keep for the quarter is S270 per person, with a total for the quarter of S1,350. And there is only SSo in the indigent fund.
 Three of the indigents are now in the hospital here one IS at Nuiato and another at Tanana There was one at Iditarod but he died, leaving bills charged to the gov ernment of something in the neighborhood indigent fund.- There Is also a charge of sl25 for the burial of a man who died at lditarod, but this sum the judge cannot pay out of the indigent fund, for the reason that the government holds that an indigent ceases to be such when he becomes corpse. In considering the matter last evening the judge stated that he supposed he would have to pay the funeral expenses out of his own pocket, having ordered that the body of the indigent be buried.
 Judge Bunne,l says that all of his troubles would be easy if this division were on the coast For in any of the other divisions, ex cept for short time in that for which Nome is the headquarters, all judge has to do IS to pay transportation charges for ln- digents to the Pioneers home at Sitka To transport indigents from the Interior to the coast particularly in winter, is prac- tically impossible for the reason that the cost of transportation would be greater than the cost of their maintenance here until after the opening of navigation. The health of the indigents is also to be considered, and 1t is practically certain that but few of them would be able to withstand the rigors of winter trip over the trail.
 Judge Bunnell says that, so far as he can see, he has only two 'outs' to his trouble. The indigent law provides that judge in one division may draw on judge in an other division for funds in case of sur plus o1 lndlgentS or SholtaSe ol lhulSehV moneys, and Judge Bunnell is very seriously contemplating laying his case before the judges in the other three divisions
 The other "out," and that most seriously considered by Judge Bunnel is to hold off the bills until the next quarter, when the indigents probably will be fewer in number. He figures that he could then borrow enough money from that quarter to pay the debts of this quarter.

Word rea.hed the federal authorities at Nome on the morning of March 6 that Happy Jack" an old timer who had lived for years near the old Cleveland roadhouse about eight miles from Sinrock, died some time during the preceding week or ten days, according to the Nugget. Jack, who was aged about 60 years, has been engaged in beach -combing and mining in that locality since about 1902 or 1903 His real name is said to have been George L. Heiser, but nothing IS known as to his antecedents. The former mail carrier on the Teller run states that he occasionally brought a letter to the miners lonely cabin but he Is not aware of the deceased having any outside connections. According to the story brought to Nome, the natives passing along the coast for the past few days have noticed that the cabin in which the old man lived was entirely covered with snow No one investigated, however, until day or so ago Three natives then proceeded to dig an entrance into the place, only to discover that the inmate was dead Word was at once sent down the coast, and Judge Fraw- ley and Bert Mccarthy departed for the scene.
