Fan Air on Steamboat
 Service

The Subgject of steamer ser vice met with plenty ot discus sion at the Commercial Club meeting and various phases ot the problem brought out.
 1t was stated that between now and first ot June were sev- eral bad breaks of ll or more days without any service to this port; and the situation in the local halibut marts a very seri- 0uS one. Already, because of ) better service boats with fares haa to pass up Petersburg ana go south because the best price offered was only freezing price, and the sellers felt they were li- UeraIly frozen out of the local market. This will continue to the hurt of the town in general.
 MT, Edward Locken brought an inquiry from the Adiral Line relative to the same problem and wanted an expression Whihc he could forward his company.
 Tidal conditions, navigation problems had nothing to do with the matter acording to some as the Alaska on it's last trip north passed through on 4 foot above 3 minus tide. Some believed Petersburg was just not on the map, was a Jonah town or had some evil repute which made it the butt of service. Unsatisfac- tory mail delivery due to poor service disconnected the people of this town whose yearly ton mage justified more and better consideration. The greater part of the evening was spent on this diverting problem which is an nuaI business with the loeat Club.
 A resolution was adopted re questing the Alaska Steamship Company to give adequate south bound service to take care of the halibut buying situation in this port and to keep gaps between boats cut down to the average of other towns.
 Another petition was drawn up expressing an appreciation of courtesies and service given by the Admiral line in the past and

Plan Long Highway

MT. Paul Rickert, president of the Fairbanks Chamber of Com merce while in port last week showed Earl Dinner a map of a proposed international highway to connect from the Fairbanks roads through Haziltine to Van couver and Seattle. The expense of the project to be borne by the United States and Canadian governments. At the present eS- timated cost of road construc- ton in the interior, this road is expected would cost approxi- mately seven million dollars. Connecting with Lincoln High and other roads to the east, it would be one of the longest continuous roads, if contsruct- ed, in existence. Considerable enthusiasm and support is giv- en the project all along the line and international highway clubs organized to push along con- structive effort to secure favor able action on the part of the national governments.
 The matter was endorsed by the local club.
 MT. Rickert further asked the endorsement of change of cleo tion dates in the fall and the change of date of legislative meeting: This met with a cold shoulder from the Club. It was not deemed proper to throw open elective franchise to residents o1 Seattle who cannot now qualify under our election laws.

 Considerable enthusiasm is being shown in the matter.

Paul Fined For
 Contempt Court

William L. Paul was on Mon day of this week fined SITS. for contempt of court by the Hon. Justin Harding, newly appointed judge of the district court of the First Division. MT. Paul appeal ed the matter to the superior court.
 Last week, attorney Paul ap- peared before Judge Harding petitioning for a writ of review in the case of United States vs. lNaXf1eld Dalton, charged with il- legal fishing. In the petition it was set forth that Judge Hard ing was district at the time of the case when tried before jus tice of the peace at Craig; and aS one of the attorneys interest ed in the case was not qualified to hear review of the case.
 Further that on February 21 IT a conversation with attorney Paul, Judge Harding stated that ~he petition was identical with a resolution drawn by the con- Vention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee in opposition to his confirmation and all of which he resented. That, further, before the hear ing of the evidence was heard in support of the writ of review, the Judge said T have reason to know these statements (refer- ing to contents of petition) are untrue;" and that by virtue of the statement, he might be a material witness in the case.
 The court censured Mir. Paul severely according to reports in the Ketchikan press and re- quested an apology. A qualified one being given-that if the court thot attorney erred or mis- represented.
 MT. Paul then requested to present an amended petition. Considerable conjecturing was done in court circles; if Mir. Paul was unable to follow up his petition, he certainly must have misrepresented and if he did not "hange his statements it was generally believed the court would hold him in con. tempt of court. AS above re- corded, he was and is appealing decision before the Superior Court.

Asks Use of Poison

R. K. Stewart, predatory ami
 nal hunter left this week for
 yunau where he will appear be-
 lore the Territorial Legislature
 n the interest of the Biological Department. In a special meet ing held by the local Chamber of Commerce, Mir. Stewart ask ed the Club to put itself on re- cord as to the use of poison. He
 declared that during the winter
 months it was impractical to lUnt or trap wolf; and that the
 only practical solution of the
 predatory animal situation in Alaska during the months when snow was on the ground, was by
 the use of poison by men prop arly trained in it's use.
 He called attention to the pe- gitiOn sent to the Governor by ..Che people of Rake village in protest of the use of any poison anywhere in their vicinity. He Lated that it was his opinion that if much opposition is pre- Sented appropriations for this work would be cut down at Washington. This would leave lin Alaska a condition that would not permit of satisfactory pre- datOry animal control. He as- F5lred the Club that the use of poison was not promiscuouS and It was his opinion that it would not affect the fur bearing ami malS.
 MT. Ernest Kirberger of Rake was asked by the president of the Club, MT. Dinner, to give an expression of his views on the matter. He was emphatically opposed to the use of poison and gave some good reasons for his opposition A general dis cuSsion was entered into by the several members of the Club af- ter which motion was made to support MT. Stewart along the lines of his report.
 MT. Stewart will have the mat ter before the legislature. He will also urge the legislature to make a law which will be more practical in application. Under the present system it costs a man considerable to travel sixty or a hundred and sixty miles to make affidavit before a United States Commissioner. He be- lieves that postmasters should be permitted to take affidavit of and proof of killing. He will further urge the legislature to raise the bounty on wolves so that there will be more induce ment for bona flde residents to go out to hunt, trap and kill the animals.

Gals, the program for American
Education Week which has been

THE LAST NIGHT

THE LAST NIGHT
Mr.. Utterson was sitting by his
fireside one evening after dinner,
when he was surprised to receive
visit from Poole.
BLESS me, Poole, what brings
ycI here?" ne cried; anu then tax
ing sec end look at him, "What
ais y0u?" lie added. "Is the doc>
tor ill.,"
"Mr. Utt.rson," said the man,
"there is something wrong"
"Take a seat, and here is a
glass of wine for you," said the
lawyer. "Now take your time, and
tell me plainly what you want"
"You know the doctors ways,
sir" replied Poole, "and how he
shuts himself up. Well, he's shut
up again in the cabinet; and !
don't like it, sir-T wish I may die
if l like it. Mr. Utterson, sir,
I'm afraid"
"Now, my good man." said the
lawyer, "be explicit. What are
you afraid of"
give been afraid for about a
week." returned Poole, doggedly
disregarding the question, "and ]
can bear it no more"
The mans appearance amply
bore out his words; his manner
was altered for the worse; and
except for the moment when he
had first announced his terror, he
had not once looked the lawyer in
the face. Even now, he sat with
the glass of wine untasted on his
knee, and his eyes directed to g
corner of the floor. 81 can beal
it no more" he repeated.
"Come," said the lawyer, 81 see
you have some good reason, Poole
/ see there is something seriously
amiss. Try to tell me what it is

play" said Poole horsely.
"Foul play!" cried the lawyer, &
good deal frightened and rather
inclined to be irritated in conse
quence. "What foul play? VIVA
does the man mean?"
"I daren's say, sir.," was tn
answer; "but will you come along
with me and see for yourself ?"
Mr.. Utterson's only answer wa
to rise and get his hat and great
coat; but he observed with wonde.
the greatness of the relief tina
appeared upon the buffers face
and, perhaps with no less, that tn
wine was still untasted when h,
set it down to follow.
It was a wild, cold, seasonablt
night of March, with pale moon
