CHARLES M. M'GRATH

The sudden death of Charles NJ. M eGrath at S1tka Saturday de priYed Alaska of the service of one oI her pest and squafest citizens. He was an Alaskan in all that th- term implies. He Was youH5 man in his tWenlies il B0stot- when news of the Klondike slrik1 swept over the counIry and, .I.z. thousands of other young men, l. Was caught in the resulting stam- pede and never quit until lie reached Dawson. It did not talll him long to decide that his future home would be in the North, but he quickly decided that he would follow the pursuit that he knew best and he became the Alaskan representative of one of the strong est wholesale grocery houses of the North Pacific, locating in Juneau Here he brought his bride and here his daughter, the apple of his eye, was born. About fifteen years ago MT. McGrath went to Sitka and entered in business for himself. He was a success as the representa- tive of a wholesale house in Alaska and he succeeded as a merchant at Sitka.
 MT. McGrath was a man of the highest character He possessed a rugged honesty and a sincerity of purpose that were never question ed He was a good citizen, a good family man and true to his own best instincts. He was intensely loyal in his friendships and never betrayed trust. The world is better because he lived an active and useful life in it.
 It was but natural that such a man made many friends during his long residence in Alaska, who remained friends to the end, to whom the news of his sudden death was profound shock. A large part of the population of South eastern Alaska is mourning with the grief-stricken widow and child and other near relatives of Alaska's dead citizen.

Palmer Creek Making Mighty
 Good Showing
The Alaska Weekly

Palmer creek, the latest discoY- cry in the Gassiar district, British Columbia, holds out promise Of be- coming Bonanza gold diggins, That is the glad news that comes out of the Northland this week.
 The Cassiar Imperial Mining Company party. who departed from Seattle soon after the first of the year, enroute to the syndieate's extensive placer holdings on Pal mer creek. the scene of last falls discovery. under the leadership of Robert W. Martin, the we'll known Northern mining man, have reach ed their destination. The high eX- peetations of the party are more than realized; they found Palmer creek all. and more, than it was represented to be as a gold creek of potential possibilities and are convinced that it will pay by the shoyeling-in method of mining, and are confident that Palmer ereek-the Cotter- -Hosfeld-Hall dis eovery-as well as other creeks in the vicinity, will prove very yaln- able gold producers.
 Two reports. by wire, are avail able for publieation-one from Mr. Martin. leader of the party, to the Alaska Weekly, and one from D. L. Stephens. a shareholder in the Syndicate, to a fellow member of the organization.

GRAND JURY INDICTs
 FLANAGAN ON CHARGE
 OF ASSAULT ON KLINE

CORD0VA- The grand jury which finished it's work here a few days ago indicted D. W. Elan agan, a prohibition officer, charg ing him with assault and battery, alleged to hay been committed last summer at Anchorage. The complainant was 0. Kline.
 Due to the unexpected action of all the defendants pleading guilty, the district court term practically came to an end and Judge Ritchie is leaving for the States, on his way 10 Washington.
 Walter Shufflof, 15year-old Kodiak boy, who robbed a mail sack of $200, was sentenced to the federal reformatory until he is 21 years old.
 Arthur E. Webb was sentenced to two years at McNei1's island for violation of the territorial mar cotics law. Webb is said to have spent 23 of his 50 years of life in the penitentiaries of the coun- try.

NOEL SMITH BOUND BACK
 TO. ANCHORAGE

SI1ATTLE-Noel Smith, general manager of the Alaska railroad, arrived here from Washington, ac- eompanied by Mrs. Smith. He said he believed congress will authorize an appropriation of $1,- 100000 for the railroad for the fiscal year beginning July 1, as there seemed no material opposi- tion to it when he left the capital.
 Mir. and Mrs. Smith will leave for Fairbanks on Saturday. He said: The house has already authorized the expenditure and within few days"
 The appropriation is the same as last year which indicates that there is no contemplation of a curtailment of railroad activities.
 Smith said that the opposition from Congressman Free, suggesting that the road ought to be torn up and turned into a wagon road failed to materialize.
 My plan,", he said, lis to make permanent evehything that is now of temporary construction as fast as the money is available. Wooden trestles will be replaced with fills and steel bridges will replace wood structures"
 It is anticipated by the man agement also that the tonage and receipts of the road will increase greatly during the coming year owing to the fact that the large companies which are becoming in- terested in the Fairbanks district will be shipping in large amounts of suplies and machinery.
