An order recently issued out Of the office of Secretary of the Interior Franklin K Lare and received on the last mail at the local land office does awqy with rhe provision of the law regarding ),wnsitcs along the Alaska railroad, providing that for Ieitures of lot Uill follow their use for the selling of liquor or for pur- poses of prostitution Under the original regulations lots used for such purposes could be forfeited, but the change was deemed necessary for the reason that in many instances innocent owners were unaware of the businesses which were being car ried on on their property conse- quently the regulation worked a hardship on them instead of on the renters, the real offenders, and the ones the law was intended for.
 The law was enforced at Anchor age with the result that many own CTS of lots came near losing their properties It is now believed how ever, that he offenses named can be handled under the regular laws, mak ing possible the abolishment of the objectionable regulation.
