Quiet Life Since Booze
Went Out.
DOUGLAS.—From an average o
over $ 100 per month to absolute:
nothing is the record of the polio
court at Douglas within the past fei
months. Up to the time when th
population of the island was matei
iaily lessened by the mine disaste
of last April, the receipts of th
police court more than paid the sal
ary of the city clerk and polio
magistrate, and frequently left cor
siderable surplus in the city exeat
quer. But it is different now.
There has been but one city pns
oner in the municipal jail since th
first day of the present year an
that was on the 2nd of Januar;
and the culprit was wearing a hold
over jag of mammoth proportions
He paid a fine, the last one impose*
by City Magistrate Bennet. Two o
three federal prisoners have occu
pied the jail since that time, bu
otherwise it has been untenanted.
The above condition is proof pos:
tive that this portion of Alaska i
conforming to the "dry” law with
out deviation. If any caches wer
made here the first of the year, the
are not being depleted to any notice
able extent, but are still intael
While it is said that the marke
price for booze is $'23 per galior
no transactions at that or any othe
figure have been reported. Certai
wiseacres contend that there ar
many caches in this part of the cour
try and that they will be "tapped
later on and when the fishing sea
son is further under way. Howevei
it is no generally believed that thi
is true as it is now pretty fully rea
ized that too much risk is run in tv
ing capital up in contraband goods—
that the eagle eyes of "Si" Tanner'
staff are too watchful to warran
engaging in the business as a bus:
ness.
But the fact remains that, i
making up the budget for the eit
this year, nothing can be counte
upon or expected from the polic
court, as a revenue producer it i
in the same class as a flooded mint
FINED BY JUDGE
FOR CONTEMPT
Attorney M. J. Lund, of Seattle,
and Chris Tjosevig. of Juneau, who
recently filed a petition in Judge
Jennings' court in Juneau asking for
a change of venue on the ground
‘ that the judge was obligated to At
| tornev T. J. Donohoe. of Valdes.
| chairman of the territorial Demo
* era tic committee, for his judicial
* appointment, and that such obliga
i tions would prevent the fudge from
t making a fair and impartial decision
t in a case involving Tjosevig and At
t tornev Donohoe and Attorney Ed
| mur.d Smith, were recntly each
| fined ilOO by Judge Jennings for
* contempt of court.
[ The case was entitled Donohoe
* and Smith vs. Tjosevig.
j I: involves the tying up by injunc
i tior. of $17,000 claimed by Tjosevi.
t
< as due him trvm the sale of a mine
i in the Copper river region which
; netted $117,000
Donohoe and Smith at one tim
held a percentage interest in th
mine, but during the past five year
it is declared, they have had no con
nection whatever with Tjosevig. wh
l kept up the assessments on the prop
| erty. and eventually advertised ou
all claimants on the property wh
j failed to keep up their interest ir
5 the mines. The plaintiffs did no!
: respond when advertised out by the
! defendant, but now claim, since the
' sale of the property, that they ha
: an oral agreement for a certain per
f cer.tage of the property if sold.
- -T" ' " J , '
The judgment of contempt wa:
’ based on an affidavit made by Tjose
- vig setting forth that Mr. Donohoe
' was Democratic national committee
" man for Alaska, that he controller
i, or greatly influenced the appoint
‘ mer.t of judges for Alaska, and wa:
? largely responsible for the appoint
■ • ment and confirmation of Judge
" Jennings, and that Judge Jenmng
and Mr. Donohoe are persona
' friends. It set up that Tjosevig fel’
? that he was working under a dis
* advantage before the court, anc
r asked that the court submit certair
facts to the findings of a jury, an:
■ demanded, in case this not be done
' that another judge be called in tt
■ hear the facts.

That the spring drive on the Mat

by a shipment of a carload of the
popular vegetable recently consigned
to merchants in Anchorage by J. M.
Eakm and P. C. Crow, two successful'
farmers in the Matanuska valley.
The potatoes were in excellent j
' condition and all of uniform and ;
j standard size. They had beer,
stored during the winter in root
houses on the ranches.
With the shipment of potatoes a
quantity of cabbages and turnips
were included from other farmers
in the valley and the entire shipment
: which had been kept thorughout the
I winter in the root houses on the
j farms was in fine marketable shape.
The potato crop the coming season
in the Matanuska valley will not
: equal the crop raised last year, ac
1 cording to a disposition on the part
. of the farmers to give more atten
tion to grain and stock.
