SENTENCED l'O THREE
YEARS in penitentiary
Joseph Andrew pleaded guilty in
the Yukon territorial court this morn
ing to the charge of maliciously kill
ing forty-five swine owned b>
Zotique Leroux and valued at $2,000
to $*2..r»00. Judge Macaully immedi
ately sentenced Andre to three yaers
in the penitentiary at Haw son.
Andre, after pleading guilty, was
allowed to tell his story of the case,
and gave a remarkable tale. He
claimed that he was without money,
and had no prospect of getting work
for the winter, and, being years of
age, he thought the best thing he
could do was to commit some crime
that would place him l»ehind the hars.
He had been there before, and al
ways got his hoard and a good bed
regularly, ami a good bath every
week, l.eroux. he claimed, owed him
money for work performed and had
not paid, and, on top ot that, had bor
rowed several hundred dollars from
him. 1 eroux had the pig> on a ranch
near the North Pork and went away
and left Andre in charge of the 1 ace.
Andre, thinking the case o\\ con
cluded \> kill the pigs to get even
with i eroux. Accordingly, he went
out about I o'clock in the morning and
commenced the slaughter.
Andre dispatched an ugly looking
hoar and several other big pigs with
a nth*, ami tini>hed the rest with an
ax. -Pa'vson News.

X AN'C'OrX KK, Ik C. I Vo. :k—The
report of the 1‘ivvineial Fisheries De
partment just made public sounds a
warning that the halibut banks of
Alaska an being depicted.
The report, which \va> prepared b\
XV. K. Thompson says:
Among the facts presented in tin
paper, one which stands forth conspi*
t uously is the great effort which the
operations of the fishermen have had
on the character of the halibut popu
lation of the various banks. Not
only have they been very extensive
ly depleted, but the proportion of the
mature and immature of large and
small tish Juts boon radically changed, j
The extensive fishing has, it is evi-!
dent, made its influence felt through
out the whole biological appearance
of the species, and in doing so it hast
rendered precarious the future ot' the
banks, particularly the older or long-j
er known.
The number of halibut still found
on them is so small, and the percent
age of mature tish in the population
has fallen so low that it appears that
the halibut in the Pacific, like the
Atlantic, will drop to a minor posi-j
tion among the foot! fishes. It is dif-'
ticult to see wherein more proof of
depletion than is here given can be
adduced save the final one of com
merical extinction of the species.
The rate of decrease on the banks,
over 70 per cent for each decade is:
^ surprisingly large.
A large consignment of mail from
Anchorage, and interior points was
received at the local post office Sat
urday evening. There were eight
pouches first class, and fifteen sacks
of other mail, total weight !>27
pounds.
Mail is dispatched from Seward as
follows: Anchorage, Mondays and
Thursdays. Knik. lditarod. and the
Innoko country—Mondays. Hope and
Sunrise, first and thin! Monday in
t»ach month. The mail closes at eight
A. M. and goes by train to Mile 40 U.
S. Ry.
Owing to the weight limit, all the
mail received here can not be dis
patched at once. First class mail has
the right to first dispatch, then news
, papers and periodical publications.
Parcel Post may go only when there
h not enough of the other classes to
make up the weight.
It should be remembered that the
payment of first class postage. 01
registration of parcels does not en
title them to prior dispatch. No par
cels whatever may be sent to Idita
rod or way points this winter, and but
very few to Anchorage, the smaller
ones given the preference, thereby ac
; comodating the greater number of
people.

NOTES 1 ROM SANAK
I
(By Mrs. C. W. Hammond)
SANAK, Nov. 27.—‘The S. S. Dora
which calls occasionally ut this port
with mail and freight was a welcome >
visitor on November 26th. She
brought in over forty tons of freight
for the Alaska Codfish Company be
sides considerable for other parties.
This is the first time since Septem
ber that she has visited our harbor.
(Jus Holmberg lias his new house
completed and has moved his house
hold goods from the “Company
house” to his own home. The house
is a model of convenience ami is
beautifully furnished inside.
Andrew (irosvold, the Sand Point
merchant, paid a visit to Sanak Nov.
12-15. As Mr. (Irosvold brought the
first news that we had from the out
side since the mail boat's call in Sep
tember he was doubly welcome. He
also relieved the fuel famine which
prevailed here by bringing a small
supply of coal from King Cove.
I*. E. Nielson made a trip to Un
alaska in September hoping to get
home when the mail boat returned
from the westward. However, man
proposes and the Dora disposes in this
part of the world and Mr. Nielson
was carried past his home port and
dumped otf at King Cove. Fortunate
ly he was able (by paying $20.00) to
get a small boat for Unalaska to land
him at Snnak. He considered him
self pretty lucky to be out only eight
days time and $20 at that.
B. Benson made a (lying trip to
King Cove Nov. 25th. He left at 8
a. m. and at midnight dropped an
chor at his home anchorage having
made the round trip of eight miles
and transacted his business at King
Cove in sixteen hours. Mr. Benson
went across to meet the Dora with
a consignment of freight for Seattle
and a considerable amount of mail
matter.
0. S. Casler. the genial deputy mar
shal from Ungu. came in on the Dora.
11c removed from our midst Xikoli
Karakon chorged with several mis
demeanors. We san spare him.
A considerable hardship is being
worked on the Sanak post office by the
irregularity of our mail service. It
can be safely said that at least half
of the cancellation that should he
averted to the Sanak office gees to
King ' ove, Sand Point, U nr. la ska
Ungu. *»i.d even to S ir Francisco.
The fact that over fifty reg rtered
letters vent out on the last mail
proves that Sanak is an office of no
small importance. From N'ov 1st,
1915 to Nov. 1st. 15>16 the mail boat
has made only twelve calls out of the
iwenty-four we are entitled to expect.
DOB \ CAPTAIN (IIVKS
A CHIU STM VS TURK
Captain Swanson, of the Dora,
brought in a line “ready made”
Christmas tree and presented it to
the school. This will be the first
Christmas that Sanak has net had to
make a “tree” out of pieces of boards,
cod-fish line and any other old thing
that could be utilized in the school’s
horticultural efforts. Thanks, Capt.
Swanson.

AVIATION
(Nome Nugget)
Eric Johnson, the well known mail
contractor, was an arrival in Nome
from the Yukon Sunday, after an ex
tended visit to the outside which in- j
eluded a sojourn at the Curtis school j
of aviation at San Diego, Cal., where
he investigated the possibilities of
transmitting mails by aeroplane with
a view to operating an aerial mail
service in this section in the event
that satisfactory arrangements can
be made with the government.

Mr. Johnson spent considerable
time learning the method of handling
the swift air machines and speaks ini

. HOY’S HEART MASSAGED..
For at least thirteen minutes proo
ably more, Albert Davise, a six year
old boy, Hambro-road, Streatham.
was to all appeareance dead at Guy’s
Hospital a few weeks ago. His heart j
failed and there was a censsation of
respiration. With skill, daring, and
persistence, the surgeons fought for
the lad and they won the fight again- j
st death.
The story of the case, as related in
tin* privately circulated “Gazette” is-;
sued to the staff of the hospital, sho
ws that after the boy’s tonsils had
been removed he stopper breathing.
Other means failing to restore respirj
ation, an incision was made to enable
the surgeon to massage the heart. Aft
er about twenty squeezes the heart
was suddenly felt to be beating and
respiration was re-established, though j
at first the pulse was not perceptible, j
and the boy's condition remained ex
tremely feeble. On being taken to
his ward he was restless and required
further surgical attention. He was
unconscious for two days. Only by
unremitting care was he brought
round gradually to perfect health.—
London Daily Mail.
LOST VOTES
The United States Commissioner
at Sitka failed to send election sup
plies to the Warm Springs district,
where over twenty voters reside.;
There is no postoffice at Warm Spr
ings and the Commissioner had no
way to send the supplies without
chartering a boat at his own expense.

SULZER LOST FIFTY VOTES
BY MISTAKE AT SANAK
Sanak was disfranchised at the re
cent election because the United
States Commissioner failed to send
the proper papers. It is said by those
who came on the Dora that if Sanak
had voted it would have given Sulzer
a plurality of fifty. In other words,
Sanak’s disfranchisement comeS very
close to changing the whole result, al
though Sulzer now seems surely elect

the (Jateway feared had occurred here
