he would never have issued the order served on local dealers yesterday, which is absolutely without effect so far as keeping out the wholesale ship ments from Juneau, but is a serious detriment to the business of men who have paid for a license to conduct their business.
 The order issued by Judge Brown yesterday follows:
 Tt is ordered that no person hold ing a retail liquor license shall sell more than three quarts of beer or one quart of wine or spirituous liquor un- less there is executed before a mo- tary public and left with said retail liquor dealer an affidavit signed by the person to whom said liquor is de- IlNeIeu, WHICH dlliNtNiJ SIldll give IilC date, kind and quantity of liquor pur- chased, the name, residence and occu- patton of the person to whom said liquor is actually delivered, and the name of the person for whom said liquor is actually purchased, together with his residence and occupation. Said affidavit must be kept by said retail liquor dealer where a deputy marshal or other authorized officer may inspect the same at any time and make a copy thereof if he so desires,
 "A retail liquor dealer is not auth orized, and will not be permitted to act as a distributing center and sell liquors without discrimination or care as to their destination, and the pur- pose for which they are bought and any violation of this rule will result in the forfeiture of any license is- sued"

U. s. RAILROAD TO AID FARMERS BY LOW RATE
 ON LIME DISCOVERED

An announcement of great importance to the agricul- ura development of the MatanuSka valley has just been made public telling of the discovery at Mile l2 on the government railroad of deposit of calcium carbonate lime This product is greatly needed to fertize the land in Matanuska valley.
 To encourage farming and aid in the distribution of the product to points throughout the valley the Alaskan Engineering Commission has established the exceptional N low freight of 10 cents per hundred pounds for this and the rate for the return shipment of containers
 Should the deposit prove commercially valuable and the demand justify the expenditure spur track will probably be constructed to the field.

PLANS TO SEND ARMY OVER SEAS; DETAILS WITHHELD
GREEK WITH
 MARBLE HEAD
 MAY BE HERE

Any one who detects a dark and swarthy Greek with the mieu of a piratical buccaneer, endeavoring to dispose of a marble dome for pieces of eight, of doubloons of gold will please notify the nearest agent of his most august majesty, the king of Greece.
 This is not the introduction to a movie play or a piece of some tale of old-it'S right out of a present day bit of footing.
 Mayor Mcdonald has been notified that away over in Greece some vandal made away with a beautiful carved marble head from the public museum of Tegea. Said marble head is an ob- ject of art of wonderous beauty and is described as being about 50 centi- meters high. By some bit of under ground police work the Greek consuls in this country have hunch that it is in Uncle Sam's domain and will be offered for sale, while the Seattle consul for Greece has a distinct hunch that it has been taken to Alaska.
 So, keep an eye out for the Greek with the marble dome, that is, CT carrying a marble head-oh, you know what we mean-trying to peddle the think box carved in marble.
