CH|T|NA |S DRY FOR COMING
 YEAR

The poll of the enumerators ap- pointed to ascertain the sentiment of the people of Chitina as to the sale of liquor in that town, yesterday returned poll of 39 wet and g dry, and five who registered no opinion.
 Under the ruling of the court. it is supposed that this means no licenses will be granted, as it has been held that when a person refuses to voice an opinion, the vote shall be counted as dry.
 The result of the election at Chitina is a surprise to many who recently have been there, as it was the general opinion that the place would go wet.
