According to tbe Juneau Empire the |
court of appeals at San Francisco baa J
banded down a decision in tbe Haines ;
townsite cane, by which Col. Sol Ripin-i
sky loses all his holdings except the ;
ground occupied by his house and gar- j
den. Tbe Colonel is entitled to sym- 1
patby, because he held a large part of
what is now tbe town of Haines long j
before it was a town, and held it in
good faith until tbe squatters came. !
Now it appears that the purchase of the j
land and the years of patient occu
pancy count for nothing.

man, and Mr. J. L. McPherson, secre- j
tary. In conclusion the letter says:;
"The membership of tbe Alaska bureau !
is composed of Alaska and Seattle men 1
of affairs who are personally and
?itally interested in fostering tbe close
business connection which has always ?
existed between tbe great Northland
and this growing city of the Sound
and with your assistance, which they
at all times hope to merit and com- j
mand, may this most friendly relation j
and strong commercial bond grow i
stronger to tbe mutual advantage of ;
Alaska and Seattle."
