PUNISHMENT TO FIT
 THE DEFENSE

One of Governor Bone's appointees to office at the beginning of his term was Charles Brown, ST., of Nome, as agent for the suppression of the sale of liquor to the Indians. MT. Brown was an unusually eff ficient and active agent.
 Charles Brown, Jr., was elected from Nome to the Alaska Senate and rendered excellent service as member of that body at the last ses- sion. Senator Brown, during the session was at all times called upon to render decisions in accordance with the will of his constituents but at variance with the will of Cover nor Bone to whom the Senator's fa- ther owed his position in Govern ment employ.
 Senator Browns honest determine tion to do the will of his constituents cost his father his position upon which he depended for the main tainence of his family.
 The successor of MT. Brown, ST., is said to be close friend of Sena- tor Aver. Aver was one of the ickspitt'e senators who cringed and toadied to the Governor and while talking like a progressive was al ways on hand to turn tricks for the interests to the injury of the people,
 Thus was Brown punished for his honest service to the people who elected him and Aver rewarded for his side stepping tactics.

ANCIENT HISTORY

There is an argument about the land which the Masons have pur- chased from the Electric Light Com pany owing to a disputed five feet which Dr. G. E. Dickinson claims to own.
 This five feet is claimed to be- long to the adjoining lot and for merly owned by MT. Eardley and sold to the doctor. This lot was sur veyed by J. c. Barber and stakes driven to mark the line. MT. Bar Der, however, claims that he never surveyed the lot, but Eardley says he paid Barber for alleged services.
 The other day, we'll known sur veyor went over the ground and he found the original stakes that he found the original stakes that MT. Barber put in there when he made the survey, and these stakes indicate that the disputed five feet belonged to Eardley. Barber must have known it. But when he sur veyed the corner lot for the electric light company, Barber included Eard- ley's five feet formerly surveyed by Barber himself.
 Then when the electric company was trying to sell to the Masons, Barber was warned not to include the disputed five feet and informed of the reason. But Barber, who is Mason, went ahead and sold a

lawsuit to his own lodge of Masons.
 Now we learn that Dr. Dickinson has offered to give up his right to that parcel 5 by 100 feet if Barber will give the doctor that rock pile next to his office and measuring about 10 by 20. The courts may decide what the law is, but we think that in equity Barber should save the Masons from a lawsuit "for the good of the order"

LEST WE FORGET

In these days when the Juneau Empire and others are attacking John Rustgard for fighting the trusts that control transportation on the ground that he has accomplished mo- thing and has only wasted some $2O,- 900 in his useless attacks, we should remember that these same papers sang a different song a few years back. The difference is that they were in the saddle.
 In 1919, the legislature passed a law creating a Territorial Shipping Board consisting of Governor Riggs, the Secretary of the Territory and Territorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith and appropriated $3OO,OOO for this purpose.
 Section 2 provided that the Ship ping Board should establish a gen. eral steamship freight and passen- gen service not only between diff ferent Alaskan towns, but to Seat tie.
 Section 8 provided that the At tCrnoV Ionerdl INIT. MuIpuy dC IloV time) should be the general counsel for the Board.
 Section 10 provided that the Gov ernor and Attorney General of AL aska should introduce bill in Con- gress for a law authorizing the Ter ritory to issue bonds up to $5,OOO,OO0 to carry out the provisions of the Act.
 How did the Democratic ring car ry out their trust?
 They authorized Maurice L. Lee hey, we'll known Seattle attorney, to open up a Seattle office where the said attorney did some "investigat- ing" which cost the Territory $24,- 217.13.
 The Seattle Attorney and Cover nor Riggs introduced a bill PRO- MEETING connecting lines with Se- attle, and PERMITTING lease or charter of existing lines.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-03-15

When George Hazelet, Jim Galen and Ed. Whittemore were going out side recently, they were met at Ju- neau by Governor Bone, Corporation Lawyer Bert Faulkner, and Jack Me- Bride. It is said that whenever MT. Bone wished to speak to MT. Faulk- ner, he would speak to MT. Mcbride who would then pass it on to MT. Faulkner. Even birds of a feather sometimes peck at each other.

"Watered" News
From Local Slant
Old "Devine" Spring

What is the Devine water system
This question was asked in the Jour
nal office one day this week and at
once a reporter was sent to hunt up
about it, the heyday of the system be-
ing before their time. Very few re-
member If they ever did know, that
there is another water system used in
the city. namely the Devine water sys-
tenn. True. there are less and less
using 1t every year and maybe in a
few years it will be a thing of the
past.
But the time was. around 1889,
when the city was using water from
the kennebec river, drawing 1t from
above the dam, that city people. who
enjoyed running water, were glad to
get the Devine spring water. 1t is
pure water and was in the minds of
many, more to be desired than the
river product.
The Devine sring was brought in
to use about 1884, according to the
best recollection of present part own
ers, without digging out musty rec
ords and pouring over forgotten files.
The spring is located near the pres
ent home of w. II. Gannett. The pipe
was run from the spring to State,
Winthrop and Main streets. and other
places. Year by year the NUMBER or
patrons have lessened. In 1889. the
Devine spring wa splaced under a 90
year lease by the Augusta Water
District, which they have since given
up.
The State House has a spring OF
it's own. coming from almost the
same section of the city as the De-
vine spring. 1t is very old spring
and the two-inch pipe which runs
from 1t, supplies a number of faucets
in the State House. The Augusta
Water District also supplies water to
the State House.
Does all the city water go through
the reservoir? All the city water
does go through the reservoir, except
when the reservoir Is being cleaned
and that process Is gone through
everN year, most always in the month
OF May.
The chlorinating plant for the Au-
gusta Water District, which was put
into operation last September, has
been working ever since. This pro-
cess kills disease germs Of any kind
in the water.
