FORMER INTERIOR MAN
HELD ON GRAVE CHARGE

Charged with murder for the
shooting of R. H. Ferry at Haines
! on November 14, Ernie Bryson, pio
neer, was brought to Juneau recent
ly for confinement in the Federal
jail to await further action by the
next Federal grand jury. The shoot
ing reports the Empire is said to
have resulted from efforts made
by Ferry to persuade Bryson’s wife
to leave her husband and marry
himself.
At the time of the shooting the
Bryson woman was with Ferry in a
private residence at Haines. Bryson
is said to have entered the house
through a bedroom window and
walked into the room in which his j
wife and Ferry were sitting in con
versation and shot Ferry, using a
Mauser revolver. Three shots are
said to have been fired by Bryson,
one striking Ferry in the left breast
and lodging under the right shoulder
a second bullet hit Ferry in the back
and as he was apparertly walking
into the kitchen, and the third shot
went astray, lodging in a timber be
neath the kitchen floor.
Bryson gave himself up to Federal
officials immediately after the shoot
ing. He was given a preliminary
hearing before U. S. Commissioner
Ripinsky at Haines which resulted
in him being bound over to the
grand jury.
Bryson is well known in Interior
Alaska a? well as on the Coast and
bears an excellant reputation. He
was a packer in the government ser
vice for some time and one of the
best known of '-h» stage drivers han
dling stages for the old Northern
Commercial Company between Chit
ina and Fairbanks.
At the preliminary hearing Bryson
was represented by Judge W. B
Stout. H. L. Faulkner was asked to
go to Haines and aid, but was un
able to do so. He has been added
to Bryson's counsel.

STEESE GOES TO CAPITAL
TO GET MONEY FOR ROADS
Called away by official business,
Col. James G. Steese, president, and
Col. J. C. Gotwals. Engineer Officer,
both of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, left Junea recently for Seattle.
Colonel Steese is en route to Wash
ington on his annual trip in connec
tion with the Commission estimates
for road funds while Colonel Got
wals will remain in Seattle for sev
eral days, later possibly going to
Portland.
The Commission’s estimates for
next season’s road funds called for
a total of $1,500,000 says the Jun
eau Empire, and were presented to
the Bureau of Budget by the War
Department several weeks ago. The
Budget officials slashed these es
eimates and Has recommended an
approiation of $460,000 of the same
amount that was provided last year
by Congress. Supplementary esti
mates were made by the Commission
for approximately $980,000 and sub
mitted to the War Department for
transmission to the Budget. No
word has been received as to the lat
ter's action on these additional es
timates.
Colonel Steese expects to remain
in the East until about Februarv 15,
appearing before both House and
Senate committees to explain his es
timates and the importance of in
creased appreciations for read worn
in the Territory. He also hopes to
be present at the Good Roads Con
gress and Exposition of the Ameri
can Road Builders’ Aaasciation. that
is scheduled to be held in Chicago
January 15 to 19. The association, it
was stated, has made arrangements
to develop the greatest good roads
meeting ever held. The program,
more extensive and complete than
ever, will consist of controversial
subjects of vital concern to everyone
interested in highway finance, con
struction, maintenance and traffic.
Colonel Steese attended last year’s
Congress as Alaska’s representative
by appointment from Governor Bone
and secured a resolution from the
association endorsing increased Fed
eral aid to Alaska. He expects to
return to his headquarters here a
hout March 1.
Colonel Gotwals will look after
the purchase of some materials for
the Nizina River bridge for shipment
this winter. He will also take care
of other Commission business pend
ing in the Northwest. He will pro
bablv return in about three weeks.
The raising of martens in cap
tivity is now commercially possible
as a result of the discovery of their
breeding season by naturalists of
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
These valuable fur bearers mate
late in July and in August and
appear to have a gestation period
of eight months, much longer than
most animals of the same group.
It was formerly thought that their
breeding season was in the fall or
winter, the young being born in
the spring.
Among the publications issued in
September, and listed in the Geologi
cal Survey list No. 175. is “Bulletin
No. 722, Mineral Resourses of Al
aska,” report on the progress of in
vestigations in 1920, by A. H.
Brooks and others. The annual
report on geologic work in Alaska.
; Contains papers on the mining in
dustry in general, southeastern Al
aska, the Salmon River district Tux
edni Bay, the upper Kuskokwim re
gion, and Seward Peninsula. The=e
papers have been published separ
ately in advance.
