Of Interest
 toTrappers

The Shangle family came in the last of the week from their win ter camp on the Iskoot. They report a most successful fur catch during the past season. About two months ago G. H. Tozier made trip to the Shangle camp and bought over $4,O0O worth of furs from them. Trapping con- tinued good until the close of the season. When the family arrived in town a few days ago they brought with them the following collection of skins: 42 marten, 43 mink, 145 muskrat, 68 ermine, 3 bear, 7 wolverine, 2 otter, 1 black fox, 2 coyotes, l wolf. Their catch would have been even more valuable had it not been for the law which temporarily prohibits the trapping of beaver. The party left for Portland on the Jefferson taking their furs with them. In the party were: F. E. Shangle, w. K. Shangle, MT. and Mrs. R. o. Shangle.

The records for the new Peters. burg recording district were shipped to Petersburg on the Jefferson Saturday by U. s. Com missioner Vim. G. Thomas.
 The new records consist of four large loose-leaf volumes. All the recording has been done with the typewriter, and the neatness and legibility and uniformity that obtains throughout the four volumes are evidences of excep- tional clerical talent.
 It has been a tremendous task to go through all the local records and not overlook any instruments that should be transcribed in the records of the new recording dis trict. One may gain some idea of the task when it is stated that there are 574 instruments in the book of deeds and mortgages, 115 instruments in the book of mines, 38 miscellaneous instru- ments, and 38 indexed chattel mortgages. Judge Thomas says he gave a big sigh of relief when this laborious work was finally completed.
 Mayor J. c. Grant happened to be in the court house when the Sentinel reporter was looking ov. CT the volumes, and he was of the opinion that these new records which had been prepared for Pe- tersburg were just about as fine specimens of record making as it would be possible to produce any, where. It is safe to state that Petersburg now has by far the best set of records of any record ing district in Alaska.

The new boat belonging to John Price and c. w. Carter is about ready to start for Taku river where her owners have a home stead. The homestead is located about 60 miles from Juneau.
 The boat is made specially for river travel, and will soon be launched from near the city dock.
 Owing to the fact that a num- Der of people are anxious to get up the Taku for hunting. fishing, trading and prospecting, lack of transportation and supplies keep ing them back, it is believed that the river boat will prove an enter- ing wedge for the further develop ment of that region. = Juneau Capital.

Mir. and Mrs. R. Y. Strubble of Frederickton, Ohio, returned Sat urday from a bear hunt with the Shangles on the Iskoot. The Strubbles are by no means new at bear hunting, but this time they were unsuccessful, having killed only one bear, although more than 40 were seen. The Strubbles have been successful in their for mer trips north and their poor luck this time is attributed to the use of rifles which were different from the ones to which they were accustomed.

CHICAGO - Wednesday, = While the committees continued to grind away at organization the preliminaries of the convention went through the motions of the second days session. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- setts, the temporary chairman, was made permanent chairman, thereby making the temporary organization permanent. Today's business consisted of hearing the report on progress from the com- mittee framing the platform and the report from the credentials committee which makes up the permanent roll. Missouri got back two of her lost delegates through the action of the creden- tials committee which reversed the National committees decision that conditions in the electorate in Kansas City were so bad that it would not seat any delegates. That restored the total number of delegates in the convention to 984 and the number necessary for nomination to 493.

Fire Destroys Buildings on
Three Adjoining Farms

Emmett, April 5-A disastrous
fire that swept buildings from
three adjoining farms occurred
three miles northeast of Emmett
Saturday forenoon about 10 o'clock
A blaze was first seen in the
hayloft of the barn of Thomas
Weldon. The high westerly wind
made quick work of the building,
together with the surrounding
sheds. The house escaped.
Before the fire was well under
way the blazing shingles had fired
the barns of Andrew McHugh a
quarter of mile east. The house
here also escaped but every other
building was burned.
The sparks in the meantime set
fire to the straw stack on John
Sarsfield's farm yard one-fourth
mile farther east. Here a great
crowd of people had congregated
and with plenty of water succeed
ed in confning the flames to the
straw stack though a large barn
stood within fifteen feet.
In the Weldon barn were stored
fifty tons of hay belonging to
Gleason Bros, who had leased the
property. The total property loss
will reach about $4,000, partially
covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is a mys
terry, no one residing on the Wei.
don property where the blaze orr.
ginated.
About eighteen months ago the
buildings on the farms of Patricl
O'Leary and Martin Donahue
across the road from the scenes
of the present fire were burned.
