consequence a. Seattle being dry town N r Thompson Nw at.E returned bonn, from tn. Outside t.lIs an interesting sten oT faH msr Farbaakzan And J, Is a zran of the au and rise of b4z.ae=z man who now. although when Mr Thompson saw him in Cordoya H-t fall vas flat broke. Is iu mI way to make fortune through his dealings in liquor with residents Of Seattle
 The man in question Is Harry Ham burger, well known in this city and other interior Alaskan towns. Mr Hamburger is known here as shfewd business man. and it wasn't rybody who could worst him in deal when he was in business in Fairbanks. but hard luck overlook him and he was practically up against 1t when Mir Thompson saw him at Cordova.
 The scene of the story now shifts 10 San Francisco. to which place it seems that Mir. Hamburger had managed to get. And from this point on, MT. Thompson's story is purely hearsay.
 But, at any rate. after MT. Ham burger had reached San Francisco he was met one day on the street by Fernand de Journel. He looked very seedy and told Mir de Journel that he was hard put to know every day just where his next meal was coming from or where he was going to lay his head when night came. But the next time MT. de Journel met MT. Hamburger. or about the end of the next six weeks there was a great difference. For up, so to speak, and looked like a million dollars all done up in one package How did you do it?" asked MT, de Journel, and Ham burger said, Tt was this way
 And then he told a story of how he noticed in a Seattle paper that the courts of the State of Washing. ton had decided that the residents of the state might keep liquor in their homes and not be prosecuted He immediately conceived the idea of going into the liquor commission business and. accordingly. went to a wholesale house and laid his plan before the manager of the place The result was that he was financed to the extent of a few dollars for circular letter to the effect that he was in the liouor commission busi- ness, which he mailed to a number of his friends in Seattle. The re turning mail brought orders from practically all to whom the letters were sent, and from that moment the possibilities of the business op- ened themselves to MT. Hamburger
 Therefore the former Fairbanksan is double shooting the turn. That is, he gets a commission from the liquor house with which he does business, and from his customers in Seattle and other Washington cities, And, according to the stories told, he is reaping a profit of ap- proXimately s5,OO0 per month.
 Dillon The chief topic of con Well And versation among the Hearty. many friends of Judge
 John F. Dillon, who re turned to Fairbanks from the Outside during the past week, Is concerning how well the judge is looking. For it is the consensus of opinion among those who have seen and talked with him, that Judge Dillon never looked more hearty than he does at the present time.
 The operation he had performed Judge Dillon states, was a complete success in every way. And he at tributes his quick recoverey from trouble which was wasting him away when he left Fairbanks last sum mer, to the skill of the surgeons at Mayo Brothers hospital.
 But that is not all. For when Judge Dillon went east after re covering from the operation, he went to his sisters country home loose among about 400 yellow legged chickens. Asked by friend if the chickens were all there when he started away, Judge Dillon said "I didn't take an inventory to see"
