Four arrests, two convictions,
and two grand jury bind ov
ers and the seizure of consider
able quantities of liquor result
ed from a raid at Fairbanks a
few days ago by Special Agent
Flannigan. Two of the offend
ers were each fined $300, in
addition to sentences of three
month imprisonment. Alex Mc
Kenzie, hotel proprietor, was
on of the offenders. Consider
able liquor was found in the
hotel, against which padlock
proceedings will be instituted.
i E. W. Webb, alias Dr. E. M.
I McKibben, under which name
! he was practicing medicine at
! Kodiak, was arrested a few
days ago on telegraphic in
structions from Seattle and
Washington state authorities
on a charge of forgery. It la
claimed he forged the name or
Dr. McKibben, former Seattle
physician, on certain docu
ments on which he secured $1,
900. As Dr. McKibben, Webb
came to Kodiak about 6 weeks
ago and took over the practice
of Dr. Hawk, when the latter
went to the States. Webb had
diplomas and certificates in Ido
possession under McKibben c
name and surgical instrumervi
worth several thousand do»
lars. Apparently he is an ex
perienced physician and sui
?eon. Webb was taken to Val
dez, where he was preparing
to resist extradition proceed
ings instituted by the Washing
ton state authorities.

mnounces that the Pacific
American Fisheres has filed in
die Supreme Court of the
United States a petition for a
rehearing on the appeal, in
which the court recently held
that taxation of the salmon in
dustry by the Alaska legislat
ure was valid.
The petition avers that the
court has intei oreted wrongly
and the decision would cause
conflict between Federal and
Territorial regulations, and put.
the canning industry in a
quandary as to which had con
trol of the industry.
Receipts of nearly $8,000 000
in gold and silver which reach
ed the government assay of
fice in Seattle duritg the past
year brought the total receipts
of that institution since it was
opened in 1898 to $295,090,
000. The Yukon country con
tributed $72,000,000 of the
total. The bulk of the remain
der was made up of gold from
the Nome district.
An old Juneau land-mark,
the Presbyterian Church, is
gone, having been damaged
water in a recent fire caused
1 by the furnace becoming over
heated. The fire had evidently
been burning for some time
when discovered. The church
was built in 1897, supplanting
the famous old log cabin
1 church at the corner of Third
and Main streets, where the
Zynda Hotel now stands, and
: was the oldest church in Jun
eau. The ruins will be torn
down and as soon as the in
surance is adjusted steps will
be taken towards the erection
of a new church on the same
