TALKEETNA WANTS ITS
LOTS PUT ON MARKET
ANCMORACK, .Ian 13.- Resident;
of Talkeetna, a new town on the gov

Anchorage, by means of a petition
signed by lifty-two citizens and a set
of resolutions adopted by the Tsl
keetnn Commercial club, have asked
I that the government townslte lots
[ there he placed on the market The
! townslte of Talkeetna was survi ved
| and platted last summer by repre
I sentatlves of the United States band
Office. The disposal of the lots, like
the sale of lots in Anchorage, Wnsila,
! Mutanuska and Nenana, probably will
| be dire, ted by the land and industrial
| department of the Alaskan engineer
ing emomlsslon.
Residents of Talkeetna Have end
ed tents and temporay wooden strue
tures on lots within the surveyed
townslte. So there might he no mis
understanding on tho part of occu
pants of such land, the commission
authorities posted notices t ha t the
squatting on lots or the occupancy
of them would give no prior nor vest
ed right in the property. The notices
| also state that the sale of lots has not
yet been authorized by the United
States land office.
Talkeetna residents, in support ol
their petition for an early sale of the
| lots, represent that it is the head
| quarters of miners and prospectors
| from the Cache creek. Iron creek and
J Broad Cass districts and that to these
j districts supplies are shipped from
| Talkeetna rather than from Kpik. Su

LAWYER KNEW
IT WAS BOOZE
-1 DRANK IT
!
That American law is ha ;cd on pre
cedent is a matter of common know
1 ledge and it is perhaps locally con
ceded that the jurors in Judge A \V.
Frater's court, who drank a quart of
whisky held its evidence, estaldi died
a new judicial custom, hut according r
to Samuel Archer, formerly I'nited
i States commissioner in the Nome
' district of Alaska, it is not the first {
time alcoholic evidence has disap- 1
| peered while in the custody of the j
court.
Archer is now president of the
I Samuel Archer Company, J1J Marion
j street, hut twelve years ago, while !
| I'nited States commissioner in Solo- \
j moil precinct of the Nome district, his |
; principal mission in life was tryng to'
I prevnt the sale of "hootch'' to the na- ;
I five Indians.
Owing to the prejudice against
the testimony of the natives'.' says 1
Archer, it was practically impossible
to get a conviction in case of selling
'I notch' to the Indians. The word was
sent out from Washington to the com-j
; missioners in the north that some-!
; thing had to he done to stop it.
"Finally, we had what we thought !
j was an exceptional)- good chance to 1
[ get a conviction and to help the case !
I sent to Nome and asked tin- district
attorney there to send me the best (
prosecutor on his staff lie arrived
the day before the trial and we went
I out together to look over tile little
town of Solomon, which con .dated
mostly of saloons and gambling
houses and combinations of both. For
, obvious reasons I do not mention his
name.
' Solomon w a at ;, - I,- ■ that night
and. trankly. the gentleman from
( Nome became quite 'ginned up Court
[ ('as held in the same place where I
j made my home and 1 took tin prose 1
| cutor home with me and, as 1 thought,
laid him where lie would safely re
main until time for court the next
morning.
i ounie unie uiiring me nignt tie got
up and wandered into the court room
Evidenly a thrist, which I had
thought quite satiated, was crying for
helii.
"Something told me that things had
gone wrong when the ease opened the
next morning, though he had not con
} tided in me lie stumbled lamely
j along in the case until the time camel
1 for him to produce the evidence 1
| Then, with a determined look in his |
j eyes, he made a statemnt to the court |
J that lie would take the stand and tes-1
{ tify that the bottles eonuined 'hootch'|
to his personal knowledge, as lie had j
J imbibed both of them.
"A roar started In that eourt room !
that defied all efforts of judicial dig-'
1 nlty to suppress. It echoed up and
. down the canyon for two days, during j
which time Solomon became glori
ously and ingloriously drunk, all ac
cording to one's viewpoint.”—Seattle !
