Wins Sugar Beet Suit.

Leon F. Miner returned Wednes-
day evening from Ithaca where he
had been trying the case of /. w.
Michiner vs.. The Michigan Sugar Co.
The jury Wednesday returned ver-
dict in favor of the plaintiff for $756-
"a. This case arose over the refusal
OF the sugar company to receive SUI
gar beets grown, by Michiner on his
farm in Rush township in this coun-
ty, and by Jesse Coe grown on farm
near Bannister, during the season OF
1911, which will be remembered was
a very bad season for sugar beet
companies.
Attorney Miner contended that the
company, having contracted to re-
ceive the beets, was compelled to re-
ceive them from the growers, IL the
beets were in marketable condition
at the time of the closing of the SUI
gar campaign,
This is the first of large number
Of similar cases pending, which has
been tried since the decision of the
supreme court in the first sugar case
of Husle VS.. Michigan Sugar Co.,
where the supreme court laid down
the rules governing these transac-
tions.
Mr.. Miner has two other similar
suits pending, one in Gratiot county
and one in this county. He is to be
congratulated upon the result of this
suit which required seven days for
trial.

EMPRESS THEATRE
 TAXES PRECAUTIONS
Owing to Prevalence of Grippe Man. ager Pinkus Thoroughly Fumi-
 gates Interior of Playhouse.

Believing that an ounce of preven- tion is worth many pounds of cure, Manager Pihkus had the Empress Theatre thoroughly fumigated and disinfected yesterday. To report CT of the Prospector. MT. Pinkus said:
 "The large number of cases of la grippe in Juneau and surrounding towns. and the fact that the disease is communicable from one to another led me to have the interior of the En- press thoroughly disinfected. as a remedial precaution against the spread of this disease here in Valdez.
 This contagion is carried through the air in the shape of a germ, and while I am not positive that fumiga- tion will destroy the effects of this disease, thought it better to take precautions, and insure the safety of my patrons"
 So patrons of the Empress can en- joy the movies now, without fear of a deadly micrococcus attacking them while their, mind Is otherwise r en- gagged. .. -,

SECRETARY LANE TELLS
 OF 1.-THE LURE OF ALASKA

WASHINGTON: In his annual re- port Secretary Lane says that the government should continue it's sym pathetic cooperation in the develop ment of Alaska. He urges that the confusion in administration action in Alaskan affairs should be abolished. "It would be too hazardous a thing to surrender these resources to local control or disposal for those who have lived in any new country know how great the temptation is to grant away waterfront and power sites. for est and other exceptional resources for quick improvement. Yet this should not drive us into policy that makes slow administration neces- sity.

MINE RESPONDING

Property of Lagoon near Granite
 Mine Gives Promise of Becoming Producer in Near Future.

Dominic Viette, the we'll tnOwn
 miner and prospector is in Valdez from Port Wells, where he has been
 developing a quartz claim on the la goon near the Granite mine, of which he and Patsy Hogan are the owners. He reports that the property is de-
 veloping into a mine and believes
 they have struck the fortune for
 which they have been searching ever
 since coming to Alaska many years
 ago. They now have tunnel in a
 distance of one hundred and fifty feet on the ore and have gained depth of one hundred feet. The lead has car
 ried uniform width of better than two feet and while no assays have been made with a view of ascertain ling the values carried by the ore, it lis rich. Samples show liberal sprinkling of free gold.
 The deposit is favorably located for
 economical mining and reduction of the ore, as work can be continued at
 the property at all seasons of the year. The tunnel is at an altitude of eleven hundred feet and about nine hundred feet back from the. beach.
 Heavy timbers, suitable for mining or
 sawmill purposes cover the lower DOT tions of the claims nearer the beach and will be material factor. ill re- ducing the expense of operating a mill when the development work war rants the installation of machinery.

dent through one of the departments.
 That land has mysterious charm, a pull which affects all those who see it, and those. too, who know indirectly of it's largeness, it's gran deur and it's economic possibilities. This could not be better illustrated than by the number of applications for places which were received by the Alaska engineering commission when that body left for Alaska in the spring the number was over 38.000, and most of those who applied were not out of work but already held posi- tions with railroads in banks, on farms or in some city shop. They wished taste of the large life in this new land. There are many more of the same desire, though some of whom will make Alaska richer by their presence and find happiness in searching out the land" '.
