FORFEIT MONEY PAID LIN LOTS
 ANCHORAGE

According to Instructions received by the Juneau land office from the secretary of the interior, notices have been mailed to six purchasers of lots in the Anchorage townsite that they have been allowed a certain length of time to show cause why their certi- ficates of sale should not be held for cancellation. Also the purchase price paid will be forfeited to the govern ment on account of the purchaser sell ing liquor on the lots, contrary to the regulations laid down against the sale of liquor at the time the lots were sold
 Under the instructions from the secretary the land office must can eel the sales and declare the money forfeited if the purchasers do not show good cause.
 All of the following list have been found guilty of selling liquor on their property. and were convicted of the offense at Anchorage recently and mo- tices have been sent to them:
 Christopher C. Busch amount of payment $1S4 Altar Dunlap, payment $15.4O; Anton Kovacovich, payment $17O; George Celliffe, payment $159; William Bateman, payment $135.5O; and Jennie Crawford, payment, $11S.- 50.
 Under the provisions of the sale every purchaser agreed to the condi- tions against the sale of liquor and the letter from the secretary to the land office says: "In view of the foregoing and pursuant to the for feiture provisions of the said Alaska railroad townsite regulations, the said certificates of sale are held for can celIation, and the purchase money therefor are hereby held for forfeit ure to the government.
 "You shall so notify the parties in interest, and that unless satisfactory answer is made within a certain length of time from the notice hereof why such action should not be taken, this order will be carried into effect and the cases closed"
 A letter from the secretary of the interior to Andrew Christensen, chief of the field division of the general land office, with headquarters in Jul neau. says; Tt is the purpose of the department to forfeit every lot where the purchaser himself violates the regulations, particularly with refer ence to the sale of liquor, prostitution and gambling, and no plea of ignor-
