AT Age of 81 Years

Colonel Gottfried |. Reiche, the
youngest corporal to serve under
General Sherman in the Civil war,
passed away at his home in Helena

tons Of Lewis and Clark county.
Colonel Reiche's death leaves only
two or three Civil war veterans in
Montana. For number of years,
Colonel Reiche has been G. A. r..
custodian with offices in the CAPT.
tol. During his years in the Union
army he met President Lincoln
many times.
One of the many colofful events

and rowboat, telling him to travel
through the country along the Ohio
river aiding flood sufferers. Every

ess' snowy feeding grounds outside

less snowy feeding grounds outside
the park as in ordinary years.
State and park officials had been
hopeful that the $4,000 head herd
would be reduced about 5000 head
this winter, SO there would be suf-
ficient feed for the elk remaining
in the park. 1t has been shown
that in ordinary years many elk
starve because of crowded winter
ranges unless they are taken by
hunters as they leave the preserve.

kETCHIkAN ALIEN
MEASURE PROVES
SUCCESS, CLAIM
Mayor Mccain Furnishes
Information for Ju-
neau Council

Ketchikans much discussed alien
registration ordinance has resulted
in the listing of 100 aliens and has
done vast amount of good, par
ticularly in crystalizing public sem
timent," Mayor Harry G. Mccain
of Ketchikan informed the Juneau
City council in letter read at last
nights Council meeting.
Juneau had requested Mccain for
information on the Ketchikan ordi-
nance. The requirements are not
drastic, Mccain said. They are SIM
ply that all aliens must register
their names, date of arrival, manner
of entry, where they have lived in
the States and subversive organi-
cations or activities in which they
take part.
None of those registering, of course
admits any subversive work, Mccain
said, but the ordinance puts them
ON notice and has a tendency to
straighten "the wobbly."
McCain's letter was referred to the
Police Committee of the local Coun-
Gil.

RULES FOR BOAT
HARBOR will BE
DRAWN up HERE
Vessel Owners Heard by
Council Ready for
Use July |

Boats mooring in the juneau
small boat harbor will be segregat
ed according to size, with all hall
but boats at one float, all tfullers
at another and pleasure craft al
a third
But few definite rules for use
of the harbor were decided upon
by the Juneau City Council at a
hearing last night. Boat owners
were for the most part unable to
agree among themselves as to what
regulations should apply. The Coun-
Gil will meet next week for fur
ther discussion of the problem.
Those heard last night included
j. w. Wilson, John WHITTIER, Os-
car Oberg, Olaf WHITTIER, William
j. Markle, Arnot Hendrickson,
Henry Sully. Capt. j. NJ. Clark,
Trevor Davis, Martin Hoist, Jake
Cropley and Bert Alstead.
Tax Favored
Most of the boat owners advo-
Gated that boats be taxed by the
City according to tonnage to help
pay the costs of the harbor.
Angle mooring and end-on moor
ing met with the disfavor of the
boatmen, who said vessels were
more accessible and more secure
when moored alongside the floats
side by side if necessary.
1t was suggested that no re-
strictions be drawn up until after
boat owners have had ar oppor-
tunity to try the harbor and learn
how the tides run there.
The Council raised the pay oil
Harbormaster Paul Jensen from
$40 to $75 per month.
Gridiron Altered
Changes in the plan fer the
gridiron now under construction
were authorized. Six feet of the
grid is to have deck three feet
below the piling caps, SO that scows
can be accommodated. The remain
ing 100 feet OF grid will be con-
structed according to previous plans
Repairs on the City Wharf were
authorized, at an estimated cost
of $1,699.45. Jack Cropley started
work today on the piling. Gaping
and decking repairs. City float re-
pairs, recently completed, cost ST.
1887, which is almost twice a;
much as the estimate.
