FUNERAL OF MISS GRAHAM
(Rubv Record Citizen, July l5}

(Ruby Record Citizen, July l5t
 On Sunday, July 9, the remains of Miss Katherine Graham were laid to rest The services preceding the burial were given dignity by their earnest simplicity and sin ccrity The body rested on raised plat form near the stage of the Pavilion, and wreaths of wild flowers were twisted about the bier and tied in small clusters at the base of the platform
 The services began with the entry of the Pioneers in slow, solemn procession, two by two. Each man had tied to his sleeve a knot of crepe Then William Jones, presl dent of the Pioneers, announced that Sen ator Daniel A. Sutherland would say few words beftting the occasion.
 Senator Sutherland's words touched on the solemnity of the moment, the beauty of faith as evidenced by the deceased, the high character and excellent example she had been during life Then he quoted the lines from Tennyson's Crossing the Bar" lines that breathe faith and hope and an almost iubilant joy in death. A few simple hymns, a prayer, and the services were over.
 The remains were taken up the hill, fol lowed in respectful silence by friends and Dereaved relatives, who lowered the body into its last resting place and dispersed dim of eye, to their various homes.
 Thus passed from our midst this young refined gentleWOman.

Youna ReiIiQ VIII Be Commissioner

Although he would make no statement beyond saying that any action on his part was indefinite, John Knox Brown practi- cally admitted over the telephone last night that he had tendered his resignation of the United States commissionership at Fair banks to Judge Charles E. Bunnell, says the Citizen of July IT. The resignation has been rumored about town for about a week past, and 1t is known that Judge Brown has disposed of his residence property to G. A. Macquarrie, but the indefinite state ment of the commissioner is all the corrobo ration of the rumor that can be obtained. It is understood however, that the resig nation will take effect on September 1, at which time Judge and Mrs. Brown will go Outside for the purpose of having the for mer's eyes treated. It is further understood that Judge BunnelI is seriously considering the appointment of Assistant District Attor ned Reed Heilig to the commissionership.

Vazsal Had Fresh Fish Galore

While en route 10 Nome with the Bear Captain Cochran decided that few fresh fish would not be out of place on the menu He therefore allowed some of the crew to take out a net carried aboard the vessel with the expectation of catching few of the fnny denzcns of the deep to be served up for the delectation of those aboard. The result of that catch exceeded the cap tain's expectations by about two and half tons as it was found when the net was hauled in that there were something like three tons of shiny trout and salmon caught by the enveloping meshes, And all in one cast. The result is that not only the Bear but all the captains personal friends in Nome have fresh trout today. In addition he will present the natives with about a ton that he cannot otherwise use-Nome Nugget, July 10.

SkaaWay Is Dry

Judge Robert W. Jennings decided at Sk0gway Saturday that those seeking hquor licenses had failed to show that a majority of the citizens over 2l years of age were willing that the licenses should be issued and the saloons will have two weeks in which to dispose of their liquor stocks and retire from business, says the Juneau Elm pire of July 10. Three of the four saloons that had existed at Skagway before the first of July applied for licenses and asked that a new election be called on the qI@S- ton of wet CT dry A hearing was granted them by Judge Jennings, and 1t was heid Saturday. It appeared at the hearing that if every contention as to the census and the voting alleged by the saloon men were true they would still be short of enough votes to make the town wet. The saloon men ccntended that there were people who were entitled to vote whose names were not among those registered; that some were registered wrcnEfuIly. and that some Of those who were wrongfully registered voted It was shown that if every one of these con tcntiOns were true that If every vote that was wrongfuHy cast was dry vote and every voter who was not registered and did not vote was favorable to the vets, the vets would not have been successful, so the court closed the hearing without gong into the question &s to whether tn" contentious ot the vets were true or otherwise. Judge Jen- nings announced that he would deny the publications fer licenses but would not en- ter formal order denying them for two weeks
