CAPITAL STRIKING INVESTMENT

Seattle is exceedingly dry said George White, who just returned onl the Admiral Evans from business trip to the States and the strange part of it is that the sentiment, par ticu1arly among those who formerly used liquor the most. is to keep it dry. .
 Mir. White states that business is exceptionally good in the states, and that there is considerable interested manifested in Alaska, with indica- tions that there will be much capital seeking investment in the territory during the coming summer.
 In Seattle, money is bringing such large. returns in the local field that mining investments are not attractive at this time, steamships being the most sought form of investment ow- ing to their unusually large earning capacity due to the exorbitant freight rates prevailing.
 MT. White says that the outlook for the copper and gold fields in this vicinity is exceedingly bright.

CITY: COUNCIL BEEN ENDOWED TEST CASE AT PETERSBURG
 --------- -------- e. Petersburg Packing Company Secures an Order Restraining City Council From Paying Warrants Alleged to Be Illegally Issued.
TEST CASE AT PETERSBURG

Judge Jennings of the First Divi- sion has made an order citing the mu- nicipal officers of Petersburg to ap- pear in open court on the last day of April, at 10 o'clock, and show cause why temporary restraining order against them payitg money on city warrants should n{ be made perma- nent.
 The pialntln IS the FetersDurg Packing Company. It claims the city is about to pay over money on war rants which. were illegally contracted because the city was in debt when the warrants were ordered paid, The company asserts it is acting in be- half of itself and numerous other tax payers
 The complaint is entitled the Pet ersburg Packing Company vs. the Town of Petersburg, s. l.. HOgue, Jacob Johnson, James Bremen. John Bruce. George Duryea and Peter Jor- genson as members of the common council; Dr. Lee Fryer as councilman. and ex-ofticio mayor. Chris Tveten, city treasurer; Thos. Elsmore, clerk, and s. l.. Hogue and Chris. Tveten, individually and as member of the. firm of Hogue & Tyeten.
 The complaint alleges that on Jan uary IS, 1916, an agreement was en- tered into by the council for Deisel engine and equipment, used to oper- ate the electric light plant. valued at S3.173, the sum of which was to be paid to Hogue X Tveten. Between February 1 and 22, 1916, it is al- legged the councli ., resolution issued a warrant for S3.0O0 without specify ing what the warrah~ was for and that thereafter the mayor and clerk signed a warrant for s2,5OO. to draw 10 per cent interest. without specify ing what 1t was for.
 It is alleged that January Is. 1916. the council was without authority to incur the indebtedness. all of which the councilmen knew, as other debts were pending, and continues:
 That the acts and things herein tofore alleged were illegal and un- lawful and violation of the general laws governing the Territory of Alas ka, and particularly of Sections 628 and 629 of Chapter 21, of the com piled laws of the Territory of Alaska. 1913."
 It is further alleged that unless re- strained the council will pay to the firm of Hogue & Tyeten the warrants in violation of the law which does not permit Alaska municipalities to incur an indebtedness above and over their current revenues. The plaintiff ayers that it is a taxpayer and that it Is bringing suit in behalf of itself and other residents and taxpayers too nu- merous to be included ill the suit.
 In making the order to show cause Judge Jennings requires the plaintiff to file a bond of S3,O00 as a matter of good faith and for costs and dam ages in case the suit is decided in favor of the city.
