Jones approved of A. L. Hubbard’s appointment as a dry agent. The Defense counsel said they had not decided whether Senator Jones will be called as a defense witness. Dealing With Hubbard #Whitney told of his dealings with Hubbard, first as a prisoner in a liquor raid and then as a man he vowed he had reformed and wanted to re-establish his reputation in the community by helping to trap the higherups in the rum running business.

UPPER TANANA RISING RAPID i RATE, REPORT}: At Highest Stage of Sum- mer—Nenana Threaten- ed with Higher Water FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 5.— Reports from the Upper Tanana said the River is rising rapidly and is now at the highest stage of the summer. The water from the Tanana is running over Richardson Highway. In the vicinity of McCarty h\gh water has blocked travel. When the flood stage reaches Nenana conditions are likely to be worst than now with the southern portion of the town inundated, the power plant out of commission and no heat, light or power available. Local agencies are handling relief. The Chena Slough near here is getting back to normal, the water receding. Slayer’s Sanity Trial Ended; Fate Soon Known LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 5.— The fate of Frank D. Keaton, court- room slayer of M. Flint, California banker, depends on the law's de- cision concerning sanity. The trial closed yesterday and was marked by outbursts of Keaton which disrupted the court proceed- ings. If Keaton is found sane, he may be sentenced to life imprisonment or hanging, at the discretion of the court. An insanity verdiet will| automatically send him to a mental institution. —_———— Mrs. J. J. Fargher and the baby “left on the Princess Charlottee for Ferndale, Washington, where rela- tives will be visited. P i 1 lunder the impression, as I believe {are many of the people of Juneau, my surprise very few came from idle curiosity or to ask foolish questions. Before this season’s association with the booth, I was that the booth was of no material value to the community other than a pleasant impression which might be left in the minds of the passing tourists. I am now, however, fully convinced that in addition to al favorable impression which un- doubtedly results, the material service rendered both to the travel- expenditure made. It is now my firm belief that the business men would be making a serious error of omission should they fail to con- tinue the service which has de- veloped through the installation of the Booth. I would recommend that the Chamber take steps towardl continuance of the booth for next season or for a permanent Jo-| cation. The present location or its immediate vicinity is to be prefer- red since it is a point which is passed by practically every person visiting Juneau. Cites Questions Asked “The outstanding service rendered was assisting visitors to make busi- ness contacts and to locate friends and acquaintances. Many new- comers were aided in finding apart- ments and houses. “As you might be interested in knowing the nature of the inquiries 1 shall list ten questions I received one day. “‘Must engineers and architects have a license to pracnce in Alas- ka?’ “‘What is the name of the tribe of Indians living here?’ “‘Where can one get good waf- fles?' 3 «‘What is the height of the mountains back of Juneau?’ “s it possible to have ore as- sayed here?’ “‘What are the chief industries of Juneau?’ «‘How long have you lived here? Do you like it, etc.?” “‘Are the schools good?’ “‘What is the population of Ju- neau?’ «‘How large is Mendenhall Gla- cier?’ “The visitors who remained in town a few days appreciated the service given at the booth. Quoting from a letter written by a Mrs. Stuart, who spent several days in! Juneau. She says in part: ‘The work of the Chamber of Commerce in meeting strangers could well be copled by other towns—even Se- attle. Suggests Additions «1t would be a great asset to the town if the Booth had a rest room iand a desk where visitors could write letters.

The Signal Corps is to build a station with four or five trans- mitters near Seattle, Col.

Anchorage will be the collecting station for all messages from |Northern Alaska to the States, and |also from the Bristol Bay district. Nome will be the substation for the Bering Strait district. Fairbanks will be a substation for Central Alaska. Probably a receiving set will be installed in a station at Mountain Point, near Ketchikan, to avoid a relay at Ketchikan.
