PAYS FINE ALMOST
YEAR AFTER TRIAL
ON LYSOL CHARGE
RALPH HERBOLT, PERU YOUTH,
CONVICTED OF MOTOR INN
OUTRAGE ON ANOTHER MAN,
SENDS LAWYER TO REMIT 5000
ASSESSED AGAINST HIM BY
JUDGE KoENIG.

With almost year elapsed since
his conviction on charges of operat
ing disorderly house at Motor Inn
an Illinois river resort on Ballard
island, between Ottawa and Utica,
Ralph Herholt, Peru youth, defen-
dant in another sensational hearing
growing out Of the Motor inn scandal,
In which he was charged with pour.
ing lysol on Frank Long. friend,
yesterday sent his lawyer to Ottawa
to pay the 5000 in fines assessed
against him at trials before Judge
koenig.
BY remitting the fines which were
imposed on two counts-one for OPP
Grating disorderly house and the
other with assault on Long. for which
he was fined 800 each--Herbolt
avoids a term in the county jail.
Since the trial, held Aug. 10, 1921,
officials of La Sale county have been
trying to find some trace of Herbolt
without success.
Every effort to trace him in Chica-
go, where it was known he lived, met
with failure, so the sudden and un-
heralded appearance of counsel for
the young man in States Attorney
Kelly's office with 5000 to pay the
two fines, evoked considerable of a
furry in the court house.
After paying the money over to
Mr.. Kelly the attorney saw that the
Judgment were cancelled in the cir.
cult clerks office and thus paved the
way for his clients return to La
Sale county without fear of being
arrested and thrown in jail.
Herbolt, it will be remembered, was
arrested after Long. the complaining
witness charged him with burning
him horribly with lysol in aft of
ton caused an inquiry to be institut-
ed by the sheriff who found evidence
that the resort was being run entire
ly for disorderly purposes. The lysol
episode occurred Aug. 2, and Aug.
4, two days later, warrants were is
sued for Herbolt, James Stuart and
Edward Koehler, for operating dis
orderly house.
Both trials were held Aug. 10,
1921, before Justice KOenig. Herbolt
was convicted on both counts, while
Koehler was also found guilty aud
fined 800 The complaint against
James Stuart was dismissed when IL
was learned he had no part in the
management of the inn.

SAYS ALASKA'S MAIN ASSET WILL BE TOURIST TRADE

"Industrially, according to my be- lief, Alaska will be slow to develop, and meantime its greatest asset will
 be the tourist trade"
 This was the statement of H. C..
 Dreis, a manufacturer of Chicago,
 whose winter home is in San Jose,
 California, and who made the side trip to Sitka on the Queen. He added that he had been all over the world. up the Nile river, through China, India and South America, but had never seen anything to equal the Alaska trip.
 You will see many wealthy tour ists visiting Alaska this season." he continued, and they will come each season in increasing numbers. Alas ka's best immediate bet is to cater to this trade; to get boats to remain in port longer, provide hotel accommo- dations, and place at the disposal of visitors first hand information. Millions of dollars go to Europe an- nually which could easily be diverted l to Alaska. The tourist trade will tide you over and help establish per
 manent industries and population" i-Sitka Tribune.

The gas boat Lancing, which had just been taken from the ways after complete overhauling, struck the beach near Cape Bendel on Monday morning and was forced to return to town and have a new stem built in.
 The Lancing left Petersburg Sum- day night for the fishing banks. When near Cape Bendel, Eric Dahl, who was steering. was overcome by ether fumes and the boat hit the beach.
 Dahl took the wheel at Cape of Straits and all went we'll until well along in the morning In some man. her can of ether in the engine room was tipped over, and the fumes came up in the pilot house. Dahl was completely out when found and it took several minutes work on the part of the other members of the crew ito bring him back to consciousness. I-Petersburg Report.

Rowley was connected with the Douglas school last year. He was at one time an instructor in the business department of the Y. NJ. CA of Seattle
 Mir Rowley is quoted in the Juneau Empire as follows:
 "A number of people on Gastineau Channel have spoken to me of the desirability of business school here. In my opinion school here can be as much an advantage as school in the States, and I believe such a school can give as much, so that students will not find it necessary to leave Alaska to obtain a business training"

Special Term of
 District Court
 Held in Wrangell

The first term of district court ever held in Wrangell convened Friday af- ternoon with Judge T. Nj. Reed on the bench.
 This special term of the court was called for the purpose of hearing number of citizenship applications. Court was in session several hours and when it adjourned there were twelve more citizens of the United States in Wrangell than there were when court was called.
 Following is list of those who were admitted to citizenship
 Peter Behrs-Russia. Finnish parentage)
 Fred Dahl-Norway.
 A. Lemieux-Canada.
 Louis Lemieux--Canada.
 Nicholas Lemieux-Canada
 Lars anson-Sweden.
 Henry inbockel-Germany.
 c. O. Roos-Finland.
 Charles Moberg-Sweden.
 Thomas Mockler-Canada.
 Chris Wedo-Norway.
 P. B. Iyerson-Norway.
 The name of HarryWilfred Gartley had been posted for more than 50 days as an applicant for citizenship but owing 10 his absence from town on important business he was unable to appear at the hearing. However, the Court was con3iderate enough to hear MT. Gartley's witnesses, Messrs. J. c. Grant and George H. Barnes. NIT. Gartley will therefore not be put to the expense of taking witnesses with him when he goes to Juneau for examination.
 It is matter Of great satisfaction
 people oi Wrangell that at last a remedy has been found for the difficulties encountered by applicants for citizenship. Judge Reed held this special term of the District Court al Wrangell with the approval of the Attorney General of the United States. Before leaving for Juneau Judge Reed intimated that special terms would be held in Wrangell in the future.
 Under conditions which have pre- vailed heretofore the applicant for citizenship has been compelled to make three trips to Juneau or ketchi- kan. once to declare his intentions, once with two witnesses to notify the clerk of intended completion of pa pers and once with two witnesses to complete citizenship. Since the ex- pense of travel, subsistence and often wages of the witnesses had to be borne by the applicant, the total cost often reached several hundred dol lars. a burden too great for many, and an obstacle for all desiring cit izenship. certainly not contemplated by our laws. This expensive method has acted in the past as a severe de- terrent in AmericaniZing our pop ulation.

John Cameron, a we'll known Ma tive about 2I years old was drowned on the afternoon of June at Neka Bay in sight of reiatiyes and friends.
 Cameron and those with him on his fine power boat Lake Bay, had gone ashore and boy aged 12, re- turned to the power boat with the dingy. The latter got loose somehow. Cameron started to swim to the large boat knowing that the boy could not start the engine. He called to the boy to cut the line so the boat would drift near him, as the current was keeping him back. This the boy did, first throwing him a life preserver. In treading water to slip the life pre- server on, Cameron suddenly dis appeared. The power boat drifted on the rocks and the boy jumped ashore, after which the boat sank. Cameron was well liked by both the whites and natives in Sitka.
