VISITORS TO NOME

One visitor to Nome last week
brought news of much interest to
early day pioneers, especially
those who worked alongside the
three white men who discovered
gold on Anvil Creek and then
formed the Pioneer Mining Co.
This, visitor was Professor E.
Gustav Johnson, professor of Eng
lish, North Park College, Chicago.
He related that while touring
Sweden two years ago, he visited
John Brynteson, who, with his
partners Jafet Lindeberg and Eric
Lindbloom, started Nome's first
great stampede.
Professor Johnson states that
Mr.. Brynteson is hale and hearty
at 80 years, but longs to make just
one more trip to Nome and look
down on the old gold camp from
Anvil Mountain and relive mem
DRY parade of those early, exciting
golden days. Mr.. Brynteson lives
on a most beautiful estate in Pro-
vince Varnland, Sweden. Because
of meeting him, Professor Johnson

court asking that the Nebraska
Republican senator be cited for
contempt for refusing to give a
deposition at Anchorage in Nc
Cutcheon's $175,OOO libel suit
against Territorial Sen. Marcus
Jensen O-Douglas).
McCutcheon filed the suit
against Jensen early this year. He
alleged Jensen had a "design to
bring about disgrace and damage
to plaintiff, his wife and children"
He originally accused Jensen of
having "wilfully and maliciously
published and gave to Sen. Butler,
congressional leader against state
hood for Alaska, defamatory I'M
truths about plaintiff resulting in
utterly false charges /. being
made by said senator Butler on
the floor of the US. Senate
McCutcheon's role as an attor-
ney in the controversial Palmer
Airport case is one of the issues
involved.
An affidavit by McCutcheon
with the motion stated he notified
Jensen's attorney, H. L. Faulkner,
in Juneau of his intention to sub
.poena Butler and William Strand,
the Interior Departments director
of territories, for testimony by
deposition Aug. "a in Anchorage.

Cutcheon's Juneau attorney was
unable to serve the summons on
Butler, but that a detective agency
did so on his arrival in Anchorage.
Butler appeared in answer to
the summons there but declined
to give testimony by deposition,
contending he had senatorial i'm
munity to answering such inquir-
les.
The affidavit states that Butler
then offered to make available
anything I might have in my
Washington files"
McCutcheon said he twice wrote
to Butler, asking for letters on
which Butler based his Senate
references to McCutcheon. He
stated that within the last 80 days
he went to Washington, after as
certaining Buffers presence by
telephone, in an effort to get a
deposition from the senator, but
that Buffers office reported he
had cleft for places unknown on
an extended vacation"

which rights-of-way are avail
able.
Arlington Commemorative At
torney William j. HasSan yester-
day advised County Manager A.
T. Lundberg that the county
lacks legal authority to carry out
such a program.
Il am advised by the attorney
general that the county, since
it elected to retain jurisdiction
over its own roads, does have an
obligation with respect to such
roads within its boundaries that
are not part of the State pri-
mary highway system. And, in
order to meet this obligation,
the county board has been au-
thorized by the Legislature to
levy road taxes and expend GER
tain county funds, but no such
authority has been granted to
allow an expenditure upon the
primary system of State high
ways.
Il am, therefore, of the opin-
ion," Mr.. HasSan wrote, that
the County of Arlington has no
authority to levy a tax or expend
public funds for the purpose of
acquiring rights of way for the
construction or improvement of
the primary system of State
highways"
