Working three shifts daily, the pulp mill of the Alaska Pulp & Pa per Company at Speer River is turn ing out approximately 25 tons of moist pulp every day, according to Supt. w. P. Lass, who arrived here yesterday afternoon on hurried business trip.
 The plant is moving along smooth ly now with no friction anywhere. Logs are being obtained for grinding and no difficulty of any kind is be- ing experienced, said MT. Lass. The company is now employing about 60 men. It has 200 tons of pulp stored on the dock ready for shipment. A freighter is expected to call at the plant early next week for the first shipment to be made south since the recent resumption of operations.
 Te company, said MT. Lass, is in- creasing it's dock facilities to speed up loading of cargoes and to give it more room for storage. R. M. Kee- ney, local contractor, is now at the site working on the new dock. It will have two wings so that loading can be carried on in two matches at the same time. One of the wings is completed to stage from which load ing can be done.-Juneau Empire.

THE ALASKANS

Alaskans are great travellers. They surT are. They come with the grass in the spring time and leave with the geese and ducks in the fall. The ho- tel keepers in Seattle wear diamonds and live on truffles ant pate de fois gras in the spring and fall and send their wives to Europe through the summer on Alaskan money. Alas kans don't ask what the fair is from here to Seattle, but inquire what the waiter costs. They tip lavishly and unwisely and return c. O. D. The money spent by our first families in keeping up the palatial line of steam CTS would pay off the territorial debt and provide handsome bonus for our disabled soldiers.
 Alaskans are noted for their fine display of nugget jewelry and for giv- ing four bits for twenty cents worth of service. They may also be distin- guished by their ore samples. When Seattle was discovered by Jim Hill in 1897, 1t was rebuilt and refurnished by Alaska money. At this time it was a sleepy little village. and SO slow that when a boat arrived, the steamer captains sent their whistles in by mail day or so ahead of time so that the citizens would have time to get down to the wharf.

ILLEGAL TRAPPING PENALIZED

On November 1 A. Jakobitz and A. Johnson were apprehended in illegal trapping at Hot Springs on the Stikine River. They were araigned before United States Commissioner Wm. G. Thomas on Monday, Novem- Der 6, and both entered pleas of guilty.
 The complaint, which was sworn to by Walter G. Culver, fur warden of the U. S. Biological Survey, charged the killing of nineteen beaver, two mink, and forty-seven muskrats be- fore the opening of the trapping sea- son. The penalty assessed was $22O each. The skins, which remain the property of the people of the United States, were held in the GUS tody of the court for disposeal.
 In the examination by the Court the defendants admitted they were able bodied and not in need of the an imals for food, and that they knew they were violating the trapping laws. MT. Jakobitz is citizen by virtue of the naturalization of his father before he became of age. MT Johnson holds his second set of pa pers declaring his intention of be- coming a citizen.
 The officers state that the skins are not prime and are worth but little.

(Ketchikan Chronicle)

AS the result of extensive inyesti- gations and advertising in nearly all the papers of southeastern Alaska by Noah Howell, chief of police of this city, G. c. Foster and F. s. Barnes, manager for the F. c. Barnes com parry of Lake Bay, this morning gave him information which would indicate that Peter Floy, fisherman, met his death in a manner unknown some time last February.
 During the month of February, Foster noticed the wreck of a boat appearing at distance to be pile of fallen timber on the beach of Lake Bay, known as Little Rockybay in Wales passage, which he re- ported to the jailor in Wrangell, as both Mayor Grant and Deputy Mar shall H. D. Campbell were absent from Wrngell attending court at Ketchikan.
 Three weeks later when Foster again came past that place, he found the boat had been burned, even the metal portions melted and run to- ge:Eer, and everything, including the anchor, burned clean. The skiff owned by Peter Floy. called the Margarito, with two guns and a rifle, had disappeared. No one seems to have seen Floy trapping in that section since the wreck was first noticed on the beach.
 The theory is that, after the de- struction of his boat, Floy tried to get to the cannery at Lake Bay in the skiff and it capsized. It would have been impossible for him to get to Wrangell during winter months and he must have been without sup. plies.
 Floy's son, Ross E. Floy of Seattle, has been endeavoring for months to get information as to his father s whereabouts, as he has not heard from him since last Christmas.
