THE EXCURSION
TO ANCHORAGE
At the deadly hour of six Satur
day morning, thirteen roundtrippers,
from all walks of life, climbed on the
train at the local depot for Anchor
age for the daylight excursion. Day
light both ways. But some miscal
culation crept in on the return trip
and for good measure a beautiful
moonlight excursion was the added
feature.
The ride to Anchorage was en
joyed by all, arriving in the Cook
Inlet town about 2:15. The various
places of amusement were taken in
by the excursionists, some attend
ing the organ recital and show at
the Empress Theater and other tak
ing in the Elks’ smoker. The weath
er was ideal, Anchorage being free
from snow.
The hotels handled all with excel
lent service. Most of the party mak
ing their home at the Anchorage ho
tel. The return trip found the ex
cursionists at the depbt in Anchor
age at 7 a. m. Sunday, 3 of the par
ty being unaccounted for.
Snow was falling when the train
was about 15 miles south of Anch
orage. t Good time was made until
the big snow belt was reached a
short distance from Anchorage. The
train arrived at Tunnel (Mile 52) for
lunch at 11:30, where a good appe
tizing meal was served. After that
the passengers sat around Tunnel
waiting for the track to be clear
ed, a slide having carried away a
portion of the snow shed up near
ithe crest of the loop. Passengers not
| impatient. Thirty men had been at
work over twenty hours clearing
the rock and debris and the snow
under the personal supervision of As
; sistant Manager F. Horn.
The bell for dinner sounded at six
o’clock and again the Government
railroad had about 'forty guests. All
showed up, none being seasick.
The clearing of the track was a
bigger job than the officials expected
and finally the passengers, mail and
baggage were transferred from the
train to the relay train that left Se
ward for the tie up at 4:15.
The train arrived in about 11:45
last night with a tired but happy
crowd. The word happy is used ad
visably as one of the excursionists
put it.
All in all the excursionists were
treated with every courtesy by the
railroad employes, but ilie party that

District Court Decision
Has Been Upheld
The circuit court of appeals at
San Francisco the other day affirmed
the lower court in the case of the
United States vs. George Baker, a
liquor case that arose at Anchorage.
Defendant Baker was convicted in
the U. S. Commissioner’s court at
Anchorage; and appealed to the dis
trict court. The case was tried in
the district court at Anchorage last
June, resulting again in a verdict of
guilty. The court imposed the same
sentence as the court below, six
months in jail and $600 fine. The
case was then taken to the appel
late court at San Francisco.
The condition in the appelate court
centered around the validity of the
search warrant. The decision is con
sidered of interest because the cir
cuit court of appeals held that ,a for
mal finding of fact is not necessary
in the search warrant, but that the
warrant itself is presumptive proot
that the commissioner had found
probable cause.
The defendant’s appeal was han
dled by L. V. Ray of this city and
Leander L. James and C. A. S. Frost,
the latter two both ol' San Francis
co. The government’s brief was pre
pared by Sherman Duggan, U. S. At

ant U. S. Attorney, and was present
ed to the circuit court by Sterling
Carr, U. S. Attorney at San Fran
cisco.
