Judge Warmer ordered that the

SWIMMING DEER BOARD
BOAT FOR JAUNT TO TOWN

One of the most extraordinary
instances of the gratitude of ami
mails to man and OF their reliance
on him when other danger threat
ems, eyer recorded here. is report
ed by Mr. and Mrs. Al Dano. who
arrived in Ketchikan from Bell
island this week. reports the Ket-
chikan Chronicle. Mr.. Dano is su-
perintendent of the Alaska Pacific
Salmon company cannery at Rose
inlet
On Monday noon, as they were
en- route to Ketchikan on the can
merry tender Hyak, they noticed two
deer mid-channel in Benin canal,
about four miles from land at Meets
bay, apparently just drifting with
the current. Since the deer were
does. Nh Dano secuted the idea
of capturing them. but the plight
of the deer, apparently tired out
from swimming, interested Mr.. and
Mrs. Dano to such an extent that
they approached the deer and
stopped the boat
rs GbOh d. the VESSEL 6lOgDEAt
both deer headed straight for the
boat, each evidently trying to get
there first. When they reached the
boat one doe tried to climb aboard
on the side and the other at the
stern Mr.. Dano first took one deer
by the ears and then the other and
helped his dumb animal visitors
aboard. As soon as the deer were
aboard they both lay quietly and
unafraid near the stern.
About an hour later the does re-
vived and instead of being fright
ened, they approached their bene
factors and even ate bread and
drank water out of Mr. and Mrs
Dano's hands. They exhibited nc
desire to leave the vessel and came
to town with the boat. As the boat
lay at Smiley's cannery all day
Tuesday the deer held "a reception
and welcomed many visitors who
came to see them.
Finally, late in the afternoon
the deer jumped overheard and
swan to the beach, but even then
appeared unwilling to take to their
native woods again, remaining on
the shore side of the road until A
A. McCue came along and helped
them across the street and into the
timber
Mr.. Dano estimates the does to
have weighed about 100 pounds
apiece. He believes that wolves.

SO frightened them that they en-
deavored to swim the eight-mile
stretc across Benin canal at that
point and became exhausted hall

HALIBUT VESSEL sALvAeED
FROM CHATHAM STRAIT BERTH

Raised from a berth in Chatham
strait where she sank after strik-
ing a rock two weeks ago, the hall
but schooner Liahona was towed
to Ketehikan Tuesday by the can
merry tender Annette, under charter
to the Alaska Salvage company
with Captain L. II. II. Jennings in
command.
The Liahona is to be drydocked
at Ketehikan and preparations for
the work We're made with removal
of her gear and other equipment
which was saved with the salvage
operations. Two pumps kept the
ship afloat during the trip to port
from Chatham strait, removing wa
ter that seeped by a large patch
over her bow.
The mishap which damaged her
occurred early in the morning of
September rs while the ship was
proceeding through a dense fog to
sea fisheries. She struck a rock at
full speed, crushing her forestem
and Earring the entire structure OF
the ship.
Resulting damages are estimated
at $4,000. with another $4,000
worth arising from being sub
merged. Captain John Hansen. the
Liahona's master, managed to work
his ship into shallow water after
the accident and she sank in a
small and more or less protected
cove in about 80 feet of water.

NTERLoCKING AUTHORITY
valdez Miner

Another case of interlocking au-
thority between departments is re
ported from the Westward. The Blu
reau OF Liquor Control granted a
license TO sell beer TO a woman at
False Pass, and she ordered several
hundred cases OF beer and prepared
for business. Now comes the Game
Commission and warns her that she
cannot sell liquor at False Pass as
it is a Federal Game Reserve. She
is threatened with arrest in case
she sells beer or spurious liquors TO
the natives or others. The Game
Commission, which is supposed to
have jurisdiction over our game
and not our fishes, abrogates to it
sell rights deIegated to the Board
of Liquor Control by the Territorial
Legislature.
This article is not intended to
criticise the acts OF the came Com
mission, which is tor the betterment
of the district, but is printed to
show how one department OYerlaps
another, in this case, the Board OF
Liquor Control being wrong in
granting the license to sell liquor
on a reservation, but inasmuch as
the board is composed OF politicians
and is not expected to show much
intelligence, the Game Commission
stepped in and took over.
But the joke in the matter is
that the Fish Company at the same
spot has a license to sell liquor
and its right is affirmed by the
Game Commission, which says that
inasmuch as the cannery is on
patented ground, the company can
sell anything and to whom it
wishes. To the layman it would ap-
pear that if one person owned its
property and thus acquired right to
sell, another party could exercise
the same right under the same con-
ditions. 1t shows too much of a
special privilege, as in the opening
Vi Dll5lOl bd5 ILLS SCoSOn dLlCl
stating the bay would not be open.
After certain favored interests
gathered men and supplies at the
bay, fishing was opened, those not
being on hand not having time to
get in on the gravy.
If the Game Commission is right
lin its premises, and it must be, as
it rates high in personnel, it might
be we'll to let it control the sale
of liquor to natives in spots far re-
moved from the law. The Liquor
Board has shown little perspieacity
in it's granting of licenses, many
having them who should not. 1t is
more of a sources of expense than
a benefit, as heretofore the towns
have taken care of it's licenses and
secured better results.
TIE crossing of wires at False
Pass, however, shows US that it is
necessary to be more careful in the
making of laws and the appoint
ment of men who have more be-
hind them than record as Demo-
Gratis. 1t should be understood that
the Federal laws supersede the Ter
ritorial laws and great care should
be taken that a person taking out
a license for any purpose should be
protected from loss.

E. F. GRIGWIRE WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER

E. F.. Grigwire, responding to a
request from the Sentinel to write
frequently for the benefit of his
many friends concerning life at the
Pioneers Home at Sitka, where he
has lived since last June, wrote a
most interesting letter under date
of October 2. Excerpts follow:
The town has been very quiet
since l wrote last as the fishing
has been very good with some OF
the boys but only in spots.
Ray Hammer reported good luck
for the last forty days. his daily
catch running from twenty to
eighty dollars a day and fishing in
about "a fathoms where formerly
the boys were nearly all fishing in
eighty to ninety-fiye fathoms and
some of them were making good
catches but the loss of tackle was
much heavier while fishing deep.
making the net profits much less.
Ray left for Wrangell Saturday
where he Will meet his wife and he
intends to bring her over here for
month, but you probably know all
about it as he will beat this in by
big margin.
Jack Mason was in last week
and reports fishing with him as
good but nothing to write home
about
Wayne Clifford, a young man of
about IS, while out hunting deer
10 days ago had a thrilling battle
with a big brown bear in which he
came out second best.
The bear was within 10 feet of
him and charging before he knew
what it was and he only had time
to take a pot shot at him before
the bear hit him. The bear hit him
on the head and also both arms and
legs and would undoubtedly have
killed him if him hunting partner
hadn't come running and yelling at
the top of his lungs which fright
ened the bear into running off.
Clifford was brought into town
and at last reports he was sup
posed to be out of danger although
they are not certain as yet.
Pat Lynch, an inmate of the
home for several years, has always
expected to take the next boat for
Fairbanks and always had his dun
mage packed ready to go but some
thing interfered with his going at
the last minute, but Saturday. Sep
TENDER %, he gave up waiting for
boat and was seen wading in the
water in front of the home but the
water was evidently too cold for
him. He came back and tracked
water around his room and put on
something warmer and went down
to the dock. As he didn't show up
for breakfast, searchers went out
looking for him and he was found
floating into the beach with the
tide. He was supposed to be
drowned but the doctor said there
was no water in his lungs so the
supposition is that he had a stroke
and fell in the water
Another death in the home was
Joseph Harding, better known as
Black Joe, who died on Sunday.
September % He was for a long
time a resident of Wrangell but
later made Cordova his home.
Harry Mccormack and wife and
Ingvald Bjorge called and showed
them through the home. They were
very enthusiastic about it and we
had very pleasant visit. They re-
turned on the same boat, the North
Sea.
"Give my regards to all my
friends.
