After constructing several build- ings and naming the place Fort William they spld ayt the next year to a syndicate of trappers headed by the famous Jim Bridger and Milton Sublette. Rebuilt in 1836 Next it passed into the hands of the American Fur company, which rebuilt it in 1836. The trading post soon became the control point for the Rocky Moun- tain region. The post was purchased by the government in 1849 and remained a military post until 1890, when it was sold to private individuals. ——————— ‘There is an abundance of wild water foul on the Copper River Flats, reports Link Waln of Cordova - >———— In the public school at Seward, (183 pupjls are enrolled, DEFENSE ASKS ACQUITTAL IN for Two of Seven Defendants principal assistant, arguing any investor in the Foshay enter- prises “lost a dollar.” that Foshay and Henley would pre- ‘Government failed to prove charges that Foshay and Henley are guilty of fraud in connection with (the collapse of the enter- prises. “The Government likewise pre- sented witnesses who said divi- dends of the companies were paid books the Government introduced as evidence, showed the dividends were paid out of the earnings,” the defense attorneys stated. ——e—— DOCTOR KIRBY Has opened an office in Doug- las, at the King residence between Third and Fourth Streets. adv. what you want IN PRINTING when you want it!
