JOHN B. DENNY
DIES IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE. June 26.?John B. Den
ny. the well-known Juneau attorney,
died here today following an operation
for stomach trouble from which he
had been a sufTerer for years.
The news of Mr. Denny's death
caused a distiuct shock to his many
frit ads in Juneau. Mrs. Denny left
immediately for Seattle on the Hum
boldt. D. Thomas Denny, a brother,
came up from Sheep creek as soon as
notified and will take the tlrst boat
South. Besides his wife, and daugh
ter now attending school in the Kast,
Mr. Denny is survived by two brothers
and two sisters, all of whom except
the brother now in Juneau are at pres
ent in the State of Washington.
John B. Denny was the eldest son
of D. T. Denny, one of the original pi-1
oneer settlers of Seattle. He was fif
ty years of age and a native son of |
Seattle. He was educated in the Uni-;
verslty of Washington and upon grad-;
nation entered the practice of law in ]
that city. He organized the movement
for the consolidation of the street rail- '
ways of that city but was unfortu-'
natel.v caught in the panic of 1893 and
the entire property of his father's fam
ily including his own was swept away
in the disaster.
In 1896 he came to Juneau to re
trieve his fortunes and has been en
gaged here ever since in the practice
of law, the publishing of newspapers
and in mining development. He had
large mining interests in the Sheep
creek basin and developments are
now pending on some of it. Thero is
also some very important litigation
pending for which he was one of the
attorneys at interest.

TOURISTS DON'T LIKE
TREATMENT OF FLAG
American tourists on the Humboldt
are much incensed at what they term
a lack of proper patriotic spirit on the
part of someone in Alaska because of
a humiliation that they experienced
at the summit of White Pass the oth
er day when they and some British
excursionists from the Princess So
phia met there at the same time.
They say that when the party reached
the summit there was a big and bright
Canadian flag flying from the top of
a freshly oiled staff, while the Ameri
cans were humiliated by the fact that
a delapitated and soiled specimen of
Old dory was lying at the foot of the
staff, from which hung a rotted hal
yard that parted when the tourists
tried to hoist the flag with it. The Ca
nadians chaffed the Americans about
the lack of patriotism on the American
side of the line in the Northland until
some of them thought there was some
thing in the contention.
Mrs. L. W, Stetson, of Seattle, one
of those making the round trip pass
age, is highly indignant on account
of the situation, but, being herself a
native girl of the Pacific Coast, she is
sure that it is a case of "what is ev
erybody's business is nobody's" rath
er than any lack of patriotism on the
part of the broad-minded Western peo
ple that inhabit Alaska. She says,
however, that the patriotic people of
Alaska should hasten to restore the
American flag at the boundary line to
it's proper place of dignity.

FISHERMEN'S BUREAU
BUYS PATROL BOAT
?0-0?
The United States fisheries service
is to have a new boat in commission
in Alaska waters. The new boat is
lo be known as the "Osprey." It was
purchased by the bureau of lisherles
from the Alaska Packers' Association
and was formerly known as the "Wig
wam." It was used by the directors
of the Alaska Packers' Association as
a yacht and has seen service on cur
ing Sea. During the past winter the
craft, a forty-ton. sea-going steamer,
has been laid up at Blaine, Washing
ton.
Ward T. Bower, head of the United
States fisheries service in Aluska. will
leave on the Princess Sophia tomor
row for the purpose of bringing the
"Osprey" to the North. He has se
cured Captain Edwin * Hofstad, of
Wrangell, to be master of the ship and
Jacob Gjoen, of the same place, for
chief engineer of the craft. The other
members of the crew, six to eight in
number, will be shipped at Seattle.
It is .Mr. Bower's intention to make
i his home aboard the vessel and to cov
| er the fishing territory as thoroughly
as possible in the-interest of the bu
reau of fisheries. He expects to steam
into Juneau with the "Osprey" about
i July 10.
The "Osprey" is the first vessel to
be purchased by the bureau for ser
I vice in Alaska waters and marks the
commencement of a more thorough
prosecution in the developing and pro
tection of the fishing resources in the
waters of this Territory. It is planned
by .Mr. Bower to place two or three
launches in commission under charter
for the season. These will assist him
in maintaining a patrol of the coast
during the canning season to see that
the regulations are not being violated.
