LACK OF FUNDS IS HANDICAP

Stated
Progress in Prohibition enforce
ment generally in Alaska and an im
provement in the liquor situation
here and elsewhere in Alaska, is re
ported by Deputy Prohibition Admin
istrator E. O. Birgfeld, head of the
Alaska Federal Prohibition Unit. He
based his statement on the records
of enforcement and liquor cases for
the year ending June 30.
The records reveal that there were
fewer violations of the dry laws re
ported, less arrests, fewer convic
tions and a more general observance
was said to be in evidence during
the year. And at no time were con
ditions in Alaska different from those
elsewhere in the country, he said.
Arrests Are Few
For the entire year, the Alaskan
Prohibition Unit reported only 205
arrests made by it during the year
for all of the Territory. This is 56
fewer than for the preceding fiscal
year. The decrease in arrests, Mr.
Birgfeld pointed out was attributable
to a corresponding decrease in viola
tionns. The total number of arrests
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1925, was 261.
"We have plenty of convincing
proof that our efforts to curb the il
licit liquor business is receiving
more general public support now
than at any period of our operations,”
Mr. Birgfeld said. He predicted that
this sentiment woud increase rather
than die out.
The record for the past year con
tains some interesting figures. Out
of the 205 arrests there were 177
convictions. Nine cases resulted in
acquittals, 10 were dismissed for lack
of evidence or other cause, and nine
defendants were bound over to grand

SEW ARD ITEMS
TWENTY YEARS AGO
A firm in Sitka will go into business
of taking halibut, with a view of ship
ping them to the Seattle market or
ships plying from western ports *o the
sound ria that place. The plant will
be located in Salisbury sound where
plenty of ice is available for cold
storage and packing purposes, and
; where halibut are. perhaps, more
: plentiful than at any other point in
■ Alaskan waters.

Skagway papers claim that alumr
stone has been discovered in the Skag
way valley. Dr. D. H. Cameron, gold
commissioner of the Atlin district,
was asked to express an opinion on
the beautiful white rock that exists
in such great quantities in the Ox Mel
properties. After examining he pro
nounced it to be a high grade alumr
stone. He estimates that it contains
about 75 per cent alumn. The alcmn
taste is quite marked.
E. Webber, who reached Nome z
few days ago, from tie mouth of
MaeKenzie river, which lies some
where in the vicinity of the north
pole, brought down with him some
fine specimens of prime marten
skins. He says the country abounds
in fur bearing animals of every kind
and many silver and a few black were
captured last winter. Mr. Webster
states that considerable prospecting
is being done on Candle creek and
many benches, and many dnmps are
being taken ont. The Kugrnk river
and the Immachnk ate also being ac
tively prospected. Several outfits are
at work with steam thawers. and
many dumps will be taken out ’his
winter. The miners of this section
seem very confident of its future pros
perity.

Will Clay son left on the Humbolt
last night for Seward and other towns
out to the Westward. He will look
the ground over there with the idea
in view of starting a branch of his
Skagway store at Seward if the busi

to him.
