said by the Anchorage papers
to have descended on that city,
even invading the very heart
of the town.

of the Alaska railroad, was
found dead in his cabin near

believed to have been due to
heart disease.

16 foxes to Germany,' where
they will be used for breeding
purposes.

England.

ued at approximately $13,000.

shal at Anehorage, was shot in
the back- and Instantly killed
by William Brooks, a rancher,
at Seldovia recently. Brooks
took his own life following the

a moonshine still on the Brooks

The validity of the Territor
ial graduated salmon pack tax,
passed by the last legislature,
i has been upheld by the Circuit
! Court of Appeals for the Ninth
I district, at San Francisco, in an
opinion recently handed down.

due the Territory by various
canning companies under the

A cargo of 135,000 cases of

one of the largest and most
valuable of its kind to be ship
ped from Alaska to Seattle. .

Alaska of German descent, and
who has lived all his life, some
28 years, on the Yukon, rec
ently saw his first locomot

that the railroad had the dog
team beaten to death.
An earthquake felt at Fair

minute, rocked the buildings,
shook dishes from shelves and
sent people scurrying into the
streets for safety. The shock

of one of the volcanoes in the
Aleutian Islands.
The Fairbanks Gold Mining
Company, had a very prosper
ous season and a good cleanup
from the two dredges. One of
the dredges was closed down
recently for the season, and the

Evidence of how well livestock
thrives in Alaska, especially
in the Matanuska district, is
shown in a 9-month’s old beef

’To ground-sluice the ground

diverted into the ditch and
possibly the Beaver.
