Dr. Grayson was today confirmed In
his position as Medical Director ot

EVERETT TRIAL
SEATTLE, March 15.—With the
jury excluded today, the attorneys
in the Everett murder trials are
fighting a legal battle as the state
tried to introduce the files of the

The state contends that violence
was advocated by the paper in Se
attle before the trip of the Verona,
and that the men who went down
there went down in answer to a
call to do so which appeared in the
industrialist weekly of this city.
Attorney Moore is opposing the
motion and Judge Ronald is taking
the matter under advisement.
LOCAL ITEMS.
It appears from a statement in a
recent issue of the Seward Post
that the missing ptarmigan have
beep located. A letter from a Dr.
French from Bristol bay says that
millions and millions of ptarmigan
are on the Alaska Peninsula and the
natives are rioting in a luxury of
the unusual food supply. Or.
French wrote after crossing the Pe
ninsula when en route home from
Valdez where he had been attend
ing court. Regularly moved and
seconded that the Game Wardens
now retire to the Alaska Peninsula
to bring back the ptarmigan—are
you ready for the question?
