The first prosecution of an alien

is in the custody of the Marshal's
office at Ketchikan.

or more years old, dre required to
have a special $100 license, according
to subdivision E, Section 11, of the
new law which reads:
“That no alien shall take any of
the animals or birds protected by
this act, or own or be possessed of
a shotgun, rifle, or other firearm
except under an alien special li
cense.”

A Missouri man was shot as he
reached to his hip pocket. If it was
some of the modern stuff, the shooter
probably will plead self-defense.
11 STILLS SEIZED BY
DRY SQUAD, YUKON
Eleven stills, a large quantity of
moonshine whiskey and mountains
of mash were recently seized by two
dry agents making a raid on isolated
villages on the Yukon River, accord
ing to a statement made recently
to the Juneau Empire by A. G.
Means, acting prohibition director for
Alaska. Officers making the seiz
ures -were W. H. Harding, special
agent on Mr. Mean’s force, and Spe
cial Officer E. A. Seneff, working un
der the direction of Gov. George A.
Parks.
The two agents joined forces at
Tanana recently and proceeded up
the Yukon River to Stephens Vil
lage. They covered from that point
to Holy Cross, using a poling boat
for transportation. Stills of all makes
types and capacities were seized and
in most instances where a still was
found, quantities of “white lightning”
were also uncovered.
Jess Lander of the O. K. Barber
Shop, departed for Anchoi'age on the
train this morning. Mr. Lander is
returning Wednesday.
The gasbgjit Rolfe II, Captain Jno.
Smith, arrived in port Saturday nite
at 7:30 from Nuka Bay. The boat
will leave on the return trip tomor
row.
Mr. Gillespie, one of the owners
of the Rosness, Gillespie and Ems
-wiler property at Nuka Bay, came
into town Saturday on the gas boat
Rolfe II.
Mlf.ES OF ROAD
VALDEZ RUINED
BY DOWNPOUR
Seward arrivals on the steamer
Northwestern, bring word that from
Mile 63 into Valdez, due to the heavy
rainfall, numerous land slides came
down two days ago, .portions of the
road having been washed away and
that in addition to a number of
bridges being washed out, the big
steel Bear creek bridge has been
swept away. It is stated a big
crew of men are now engaged on
the road and that it will be suffi
ciently opened by tomorrow for au
tomobiles to get, over the road as
far as Bear Creek, where the creek
will have to be forded until a new
bridge is thrown across.
The Equinoctial rains have been
the greatest in the Valdez district,
recorded by the old timers. Cordova
roads also suffered considerable dam
age as has been previously report
ed in the Gateway. The Bear creek
bridge was approximately 125 feet
long, and, according to the report,
cost in the neighborhood of $25,000.

STILL COMES FOR
LODGER IM JAIL
One Chicago mail order house has
surely lost a cits'omer in William
Jackson of Cordova—and the Cop
pre City has probably lost an infant
industry, that of distilling malt and
other materials for beverage pur
poses says the Cordova Times of re
cent date. The Times follows up
the story:
Mr. Jackson had apparently in
tended to enter this industry. Alas,
Mr. Jackson no longer has the nec
essary equipment.
On September 3 a notification was
received concerning an express ship
ment at the Ocean dock, awaiting
the attention of Jackson, who two
days prior to that had taken up tem
porary residence in the local jail
to serve out a sentence on a charge
of violating the Alaska Dry Law.
Deputy United States Marshal
Cloes, armed with a search warrant,
examined the weighty parcel at the
dock and found it to contain a still,
bottler, flavoring extract, caps, a
capper and malt, all shipped here
from an eastern firm.
RARE OLD BASKETS ARE
RECEIVED AT MUSEUM
(From Strollers Weekly)
The mail last night from the south
brought to the Alaska Territorial Mu
seum four rare old Indian baskets
which were sold in a Juneau store
more than 40 years ago and taken
south to California.
The four baskets, according to
Curator Kashevaroff, are of the old
est known weave and belong to a
basket architecture unknown among
Indians of the present day.
The baskets were sent to the Mu
seum by Esther Martin whose bro
ther, David Martin, came here from
Wrangell, w’here his father had a
store in the 70’s, and engaged in
business here for a short time and
until he died.
Esther Martin has previously con
tributed several valuable articles to
the Museum, among them being sev
eral early-day pictures of —Juneau.
