Alameda had arrived at Ketchikan and that neither man had appeared before the United States Attorney to answer the charges made in the original citation.
 The Marshal's office was therefore commanded to take them into GUS tody and to only release them upon the sum of $500 each, conditionst with them appearing before the Court at 10 o'clock in the morning following the arrival of the first regular passenger boat leaving Ju neau.
 It is understood that both MT. Rustgard and MT. Smith will leave here for Ketchikan on the City of Seattle next Saturday morning.
 The citation for contempt was made by Judge Jennings on an filed by the District At torney's office following the filing of an affidavit by Treasurer Smith through Attorney General John Rustgard which alleged that Judge Jennings was not qualified to sit in  count of close social and political relations with former Governor Riggs. The affidavit also charged that Judge Jennings had been "un- consciously influenced" in his decis- ion overruling a demurrer inter posed to the complaint by counsel for the defendant.
 The proceedings arose originally out of a suit brought several weeks ago by Mrs. Edith Sheelor for an order from the Court directing the Territorial Treasurer to sign war rants drawn against the Emergency Fund under the Governors control for services rendered by the plaintiff in the office of Territorial Commis- sioner of Health The amount in volveds is little in excess of $300.

 Contempt Citation.

At II o'clock this morning De- putty Marshal w. R. Garster served a bench warrant upon Walstein C.. Smith, Territorial Treasurer and John Rustgard, his attorney, pursu- ant to telegraphic warrant re- ceived at the Marshal's office this morning citing them to appear at Ketchikan to answer to the charge of contempt of court They were in charge of Deputy Garster this after noon when bonds in the sum of $500 each were deposited and ap- proved by U. s. Commissioner H. B. LeFevre. B. M. Behrends appeared as bondsmen for both men.
 The warrant upon which the ar rest was made was issued by Judge Robert w. Jennings, out of the Dis trict Court of Division No. 1, sit ting at Ketchikan and was handed to U. s. Marshal J. M. Tanner who is now at Ketchikan who cabled it to his assistants here. It stated that upon authority vested in the Court by Section 1444 c, L, IA, 1913, the court commanded them to appear to answer the charge of being in con- tempt of court for not appearing at the Court on July 1 as asked by a citation issued out of the Court on July 1, 1921 and served upon both men on July 5.
 It also stated that the steamer

 Publicity Is Needed
 Alaska is so far away from the rest of the country, he said that it is difficult to make it really known to the nation at large. He had re. ceived many expressions of commits seration. in letters of congratulations on his appointment, on the fact that he was going to live among polar bears and ice-bergs. "I have already done something to correct erroneous ideas about Alaska. Not so much in speeches, but by the pen" he said Alaska he added was to have many important visitors in the near future, including President Harding and Sec retary Fall, while other Cabinet offl- cials had expressed their desire to visit the Territory.
 Large Crowd Present
 Elks Hall was well filled when the reception opened shortly before 3 o'clock J. B. Marshall, who presid ed on the speakers platform, intro duced all speakers. Mayor R. E. Robertson. speaking first, extended a hearty welcome to Governor Bone and his family in behalf of the peo. pie of Juneau and of the entire Ju neau district. He spoke briefly on the resources of the district, which, he said, were great enough for an empire.
 Mayor Robertson was followed by R. J. Sommers, Secretary of the Ter ritory, who welcomed the Governor in the name of the people of the Territory and expressed for them confidence in bis ability and desire to work for the advancement of Al aska. Attorney General John Rust gard followed MT Sommers and vel comed Governor Bone on behalf of the Republicans. Governor Bones address closed the program.
 Meet the Governor
 Following the program all present had an opportunity to meet Cover nor Bone, Mrs. Bone and Miss Mar guerite Bone, their daughter. After the reception and introductions in formal dancing was on the program for several hours. Many couples were on the floor.

GOVERNOR BONE
 AT DESK; WADES
 INTO LETTERS
Tackles Job with Vigor-De- nies Report Thiele His
 Private Secretary.

With welcoming festivities at an end at least temporarily, Governor Scott c. Bone moved into his office this morning and went to work. Great stacks of mail awaited his coming and were receiving his atten. tion this morning.
 The Governor attacked his task with vim. Most of his time, it seems apparent, will be taken up for the next few days perusing applications for jobs, hearing personal applica- tions and similar little things, but which must be attended to before the really big things can be gotten at.
 Governor Bone had no announce ment today to make relative to ap- pointments. He denied reports re- gently received here that H. K. Thiele had been appointed by him as his private secretary. 'I think very highly of MT. Thiele He is a capa ble man and has a wide knowledge of Alaska and Alaskans, especially of the Interior districts" said Gov ernor Bone. q can say, however, that while he will not be my secre- tary, he will later become connected with my administration, that is all can say at this time," added the Governor.
 At least two invitations have been accepted by the Governor for his en-. tartainment during the next s few days. One of thesesfs a bahquet. and reception by the 1oeal lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, and the other from the Juneau Commercial Asso- citation.
 The warmth of his greeting here, especially, and at other Alaskan towns at which he stopped en route to Juneau, he said, had touched him deeply and was very gratifying.

Just Neighbors," He Says Approaching Big I a S k
 with Perfect Confidence.

Responding for himself and family to addresses of welcome and to the greeting given them here, Governor Scott C. Bone greeted his hearers as neighbors. 'I am not a stranger, but one of you he declared We are just neighbors and want to be re garded as such" Referring to his post as Alaska's Governor, he de clared: q am taking up the Cover norship with the determination of giving it the very best that is in me It is big proposition Assured ot support from Washington and ex pecting the aid and cooperation of Alaska, I am approaching it with confidence" he asserted.
 To Shorten Distance
 Governor Bone commented on the evil of long-distance government. "I intend to bring the Capital of the Nation closer to the Capital of Al aska Washington and Juneau will not be so far apart if I can help it." he declared. He spoke of the sin. cerity of the administration in it's desire to do something for the relief of Alaska and of his conviction that a new era of prosperity is at hand for the North, neglected, he said, for 50 years. Alaska is not a posses sion, but part of the United States" he said.
 Brings Greeting

He also bespoke for unity of action on the part of Alaskans and said that he believed that such unity was indicated in the warmth of the greetings which had been ex- tended him along the route from Se attle to Juneau He said that he had taken the occasion to combat the idea that the citizens of Alaska are given to extreme quarrelsome. ness.

 Rake Merchant Present
 Ernest Kirberger, Rake business man, was the third visitor to speak. He called attention to the growing fox farming industry in Southeastern Alaska as being of importance. The Rake district, he said was quiet as the result of curtailed fishery oper- ations this season. We are devel- oping, however, a fox farming in dustry which is promising" he said He visited three blue fox farms on the way to Juneau and found them all in good condition. More and more attention is being paid to fox farm ing, he said, and it will become one of the leading minor industries in this section of the country He re- lated personal experiences of a visit to the States as bearing on the lack of information relative to Al aska Publicity, he declared, is badly needed.
 Developing Industry
 A. G. Mosier, superintendent of the Pacific Coast Gypsum Company, wncse property is located on Chi oIo Tel hn was able to supply all of the demand for it's product in the territory it serves. Depressed business condi- tions, he said, had affected the sales to a certain extent. It was expect ed, however, that the demand would soon increase to double or treble it's present size This increase, he add c", could be taken care of by the company. F" t'f
 Information Bureau
 Proof of the fact that "it pays to aGvertise," said President Shattuck, is found in the increased business cone by local taxi men between Ju neau and Mendenhali Glacier, larger crowds at the Alaska Museum and at the Territorial Fish Hatchery, since the issuance of the pamphlets describing those things and their distribution on steamers at Ketchi- kan and other ports south of here. Many of the tourists, it was stated, leave the boats with these pamphlets as guide books, visiting nearly every place mentioned therein One of the places, Father Browns Trail up Mount Roberts, will be cleared and open for travel within the next two weeks, according to E. S. Hewitt. chairman of the advertising commit tee. On the recommendation of R. E. Robertson, the question of install ing booths or stands for a bureau of tourist information at both docks was referred to the executive com mittee, which will confer with MT. Robertson.
 Confer With Grand Trunk
 MT. Hewitt stated that he was leaving for the South Saturday morn ing and during his absence would visit Prince Rupert, where ne VIII meet a representative of the Grand Trunk Pacific for further conference relative to the transfer of the Tilla- nook for operation between Juneau and Prince Rupert. This step is proposed to stimulate the local fresh fish market.
 Committee to Meet
 A meeting of the special commit tee arranging an entertainment by the Commercial Association to Gov ernor Bone, was called for this evening at 7:30 o'clock by Chair man w. G. Johnson.
