1 he latest wrinkle in the bootleg
ting game wa» uncovered in Seattle
>n Saturday by Sergeant Putnam,
'hen the Alaska fishing steamer Chi
■ago was seized on the charge that
orty cases of whiskey had been smug
?led into Seattle on her from Alaska.
Sergeant i’utnam and the dry squad
marched the Chicago and found eigh
teen bottles of whiskey, and one of
the crew reported that he hod seen
five bottles stuffed into the mouth of
a 2f>0 pound halibut which formed a
part of the Chicago’s cargo.
An effort is being made by Putnam
to have Captain Johanson, of the Chi
cago, arrested on the charge of con
spiracy to violate the law against
manifest, lie claims that the Chicago
left Alaska with forty cases of whis
key hilled as fish. The liquor was
taken from shore in halibut boats and
he says it is possible that the rest
of the consignment may be found, as
he is of tin opinion that the statement
of the fisherman aboard was correct
and the bottles were stuffed into the
halibut for safety.
A fish to fish search is being made
at present in an attempt to locate
more evidence.

The manager of the land and Indus
trial department advises that reports
received from the townsite manager
at Nenana show that 104 permits for
the construction of permanent build
ings had been issued and that the
value of the buildings to be erected
aggregated $103,250. In addition, 38
permits' for the construction of tem
porary buildings have been issued, of
a value not stated.
The permanent structures include
the usual class of business houses to
be found In all Alaska towns, nearly
every line of trade being represent
ed. A number of substantial resi
dences have been also built. A tele
graph office, a townsite office, a
building for the United States com
i him .... ..__
missloner, and a marshal’s Office and
Jail have been constructed upon the
blocks reserved for public purposes.
A telephone system has been instal
led, and the town is now supplied with
electric light and power.
This is considered a remarkable
showing in view of the fact that lots
were not sold until the latter part
of August; that the construction of
buildings was not started until Sep
tember 1, and that there has been a
shortage of building material during
the whole period.
Many of the structures of the town
site have been built with material ob
tained from buildings torn down in
the old town of Chena, which is lo
cated near the mouth of the Chena
Slough, about nine miles below Fair
hanks. It is stated that Chena now
looks as if it had been visited by a
Kansas cyclone, nearly all of the
buildings in that place being wrecked.
