J0RGENS0N GETS HIGH
 PRICE FOR FOX PELTs

More than $20O per skin was re- ceived by Peter Jorgensen for con- signment of eight blue fox belts sent to the Lampson sale in London re- gently according to a published re- port of their sale just received at Pe- tersburg, says the Press. Mir. Jor- gensen received a high price for all of his other fur sent to London. The fur was exceptionally good fur, say those who saw it before shipment and the price Mir. Jorgensen received is not surprising. Several other fur raisers who sent belts to the same sale received equally high prices, in dicating the quality of the fur raised in this district.
 The price received by Jorgensen is believed to have been the highest re- ceiyed in this district during the pres ent season. While no accurate sta tistics are available at this time, it is believed that the proceeds from To- cally raised fur this year will exceed all other years.

P0ST0FFICE THIEF GETS
 ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY

David Genender who was arrested near New York City and brought to Juneau about three months ago on the charge of having embedded funds from the Juneau postoffiee in which he was employed for six months pre- vious to last August, withdrew a plea of not guilty and plead guilty to one count, that of stealing $27.. Other counts against him aggregating more than $1,000 were dismissed on mo- tion of the District Attorney.
 Genender was sentenced by Judge Lomen to serve one year and one day in the Federal penitentiary at Me Neils Island to which place he will be taken on the steamer Aleutian.
 As Genender is a Russian, his citi- zenship will automatically be cancel el by his plea of guilty and conyic- tion and there is a probability that when he completes the sentence giy en him he will be turned over to i'm migration authorities who will take steps to have him deported. CTS Weekly.
