£i; In a letter to an Anchorage attorney,
•:;i | Delegate Wickersham states that he
has made efforts to save the property
;*:• of the six bootleggers who plead guilty
but that he has been unsuccessful.
•x •
The attorney and others are now won
;:i dering what the next step of the gov
| eminent in the matter will be.
:j:“ The Gateway takes the following
:iv ! view of the matter:
A Seward attorney has received a
communication from one of the men
recently convicted of selling liquor in
M i
■ Anchorage, in which it is stated that
■ the people convicted will fight to the
, end any effort of the government to
take the properties on which they
] have paid some money. No one who
‘ has been asked for Information here
' 1 as to the contracts made between the
' government and those people can tell
' anything about it. but the opinion
1 seems to be divided as to the right
, , of the government to take the proper
! ty of the convicted men away from
| them. One local attorney declared
“ that to take the property of these
] '! men because of their offense would (
' 1 be reverting to the methods of the ^
I Fifteenth century, when a man's .
~ : goods and chattels could be forfeited (
I | to the Crown if he committed a ^
' O 1*1 **1
I I
The communication from Anchorage
I asks whv it could be possible to lake
. i
j away the property of a man in An-'
Ichorage who committed an offense
against the law if it would not be
1 possible to take awav the properties
I t
j of the clubmen of Valdez if they are
i found guilty on what is substantially
the same charge.
I , t
j It is pointed out that the rules gov
j erning the sale of lots at Anchorage 1
contained some clause which provided i
i
for the forfeiture of lots it the pur- j
chasers sold intoxicating liquors, but
some attorneys believe that this con
tract is not binding, and that it could
not be binding. Others think it might
be made binding if carried through
“the courts, and they express the opin
j ion that each and every one of those
leases must go through the courts
before any government can touch the
lots occupied by the presumed defen
dants.
If the government decided today to
order one of the convicted men from
his house and lot that mnn could cer
tainly refuse and the government has
no more power to lake summary ac
tion than any individual or private
- party to a contract who might be pos
sessed of the physical ability to do so.
I It was pointed out by one person that
recently a man who claimed a home
stead near Anchorite was ousted but
that the government had to take the
| matter to the courts, although he had
| not secured a patent or anything else.!

CLAIMS HAVE j
NO TITLE !
, The secretary of the interior has
sustained tlie officers of the Juneau
land office in their decision involv
ing the application of Mrs. Ida May
!•'. lies, of Valdez, for a patent to the
Huckleberry and Solomon Falls placer
claims and the Ida May lode claim,
situated on Solomon river.
The Juneau land office rejected the
application, ns lo all three claims be
_ cause a valid discovery had not been

liars worth of improvements had not !
I been placed on the Huckleberry and i

qHired by law. < \
A fourth charge has been made that I
the land had been taken up for water It
power site purposes. The Juneau of- t
fleers had no discretion as to the lat- (
ter point. The Interior department j |
has returned the papers in the case >
to Juneau, and Mrs. lies will be al

she so desires. i

Alaskan water power as a source
>f power supply by which nitrogen
nay be extracted from the air is a
mbject which has aroused the inter
ist of John A. Sleicher, editor of
.eslie’s Illustrated Weekly magazine,
vho was in the north last summer. I
in a recent letter to the Sewkard
*ost, Sleicher takes upon the matter,
■eferrlng to the suggestion made by
• eneral C'rozier. Me also sees a vast
uture for Alaska in every way. sny
ng that the people here are too close
o the situation to realize the big
hings to come. The letter, in part,
ollows:
"Seward has a remarkable future;
o have Juneau. Cordova and the other
ending cities. You haven’t begun to
;row. You do not know yourselves of
he possibilities of your wonderful
errilory. You are too near the ob
ect to get a broad horizon.
"The suggestion made by General
'rosier at Washington that the gov
■rnment urgently needs to extract
litrogen from the air by utilizing wa
it or some power, has a special in
erest for Alaska. Governor Strong
old me that parties offered to supply
nlllions of capital necessary for the
itllization of water power in Alaska
or the manufacture of nitrogen and
or the utilization of timber lands,
mt under the red tape restrictions of
he government, the capital could not
>e utilized and was thus driven away
"You have wonderful water powers
n Alaska, and an abundance of coal,
rhe government might well Establish
ts first great nitrogen plant in that
erritory."
