was staying at the hotel, waiting for passage on a steamer sailing north. Claude Kelly, former clerk of court at Fairbanks. was also there, having come over from Tacoma to see some of the oldtimers. He does not think he will be able to stand it Outside more than a year longer. Dutch Blaukfeld and Ed Luud, both formerly of Neuana, have q clothing store on First avenue Tom Rockwell has one of the best barber shops in Seattle. George Butler is still in business in Seattle and doing well. Louis Spitz was met in San Francisco, being at that time on his way to Reno Al Murphy, former Fairbanks ditch man, Is in San Francisco. where he is in the real estate business Leroy To2ier, iL was reported, intended to return to Alaska at an early date. Mrs. Belle Campbell IS in San Fran cisco She has recovered the use of one eye. but will have to undergo an other operation before her sight will be fully restored. Norman KOon is working for an oil company near Oak land. Hunter Scales, Frank Wood and of Fairbanks banks, are now working in San Francisco banks and apparently well satisfied. Former Territorial Mine Inspector Maloney is also in San Fran cisco. E. R. Peoples is reported 10 have given up his coal land proposition and is now devoting his time 10 the fur business in Seattle.
 Conditions in Seattle are bad, Mir. Jackson says. Aud he attributes it largely to the fact that taxes and rents are too high. The Seattle tax rate Is 84 per cent this year. The high rents have forced many concerns to.seek new and smaller quarters aud a consider able number have quIt business alto gether.
 The Portland far, Mir Jackson learned, is very much up in the air right now. One of the lead ing business men of that city Is now touring Europe for the purpose of ascert4iniog seati- ment abroad regarding the proposed fair, and 1t will depend upon hts report whether or not the plans are carried out. The fair talk attracted quite a number of people to Portland ear.y in the year, but the boom is waning at present.

Prohibition Law Joke,
 Says Oldtimer;; Former
 Alaskans Now Outside
Nenana News.

In spite of all the money that is being spent by Uncle Sam to enforce the 18th amendment, the entire country, from the west coast to the Atlantic, appears to be very wide open, according to o. NJ. Jackson, former pioneer business man of Neuana, who returned on Sun day from an extended stay in the States. And, in his opinion, the whole trouble lies in the fact that the illicit traffic is given encouragement by graft ing officials, of whom there appears to be almost as many as there are boot leggers. By way of illustration, he cites the case of one man, former resident of the Interior, who had ocea- sion 10 make several contributions to left his car at the curb, and when he returned he found two policemen in his machine awaiting his return. They had the goods on him, for he had care lessly left one bottle of booze in the car. The officers directed him to drive to the nearest police station. He obeyed, but instead of taking him into the station they ordered him to drive around the block and, on the way around, asked him how much money he had. He had little over Sl00 with him and told them so, but they were not satisfied, and ordered him to drive to the station again. This operation was repeated until they had circled the hlock seven times, at the end of which time the former Alaskan stopped his machine and told his captors to take his money the bottle of booze and his ear and let him go. Alter some little deliberation they took $l00 and the booze aud let him go with the car and some small change.
 It is no trouble, Mr. Jackson says, to obtain good liquor in any part of the country, and, in most of the cities vis- ited by him, regular bars are main tained where one may get any kind of a drink. Good whisky sells for 50 cents drink, and mixed drinks are sixbits. Frisco is a very damp city, and, while he was there, booze was one of the three principal topics of conversation. The other two were oil and Arbuckle.
 Mir. Jackson saw a lot of old-timers in his travels-so many that he cannot recall all of them. He met few in Southern California more in San Fran cisco, and still more in Seattle. He recalls one evening at the Atwood. in Seattle, when the lobby was full of sourdoughs. The hotel is headquarters for Alaskans.

tation expense and lessening

preme court decision ordering the
Central Pacific separated from the
Southern Pacific is carried into
effect, Sets Mann, manager OF the

merce traffic department, testified
today before the interstate COM
merce commission.
Would Allow Petition
In common with other witnesses
representing California ship
psrs committee, Mr.. Mann ex-
pressed the belief that the COM
mission should grant the South
ern Pacific company's application
to be allowed to retain control Of
the Central Pacific until a gem
eral plan OF consolidation OF rail
roads has been worked out.

witnesses and II. A, Scandrett.
counsel for the Union Pacific, re-
suited during cross examination,
when the attorney pointed out
that nine years ago the San Fran
cisco chamber had approved a
plan for separation of the two
roads. Mr. Mann insisted that
action was taken under "duress"
because 1t desired a separation
plan voluntarily arrived az by the
railroads concerned rather than
one resulting from litigation un-
der the antitrust laws. which
the government later instituted
and which resulted In the supreme
court decree ordering separation.
