Gilbert, of Stanford University, who had made an extensive study of the fishing conditions in the Yukon, recommended at fishery hearings in Seattle that the Yukon River be closed to all commercial fishing. EMPIRE Mayor A. Judson Adams, of Cordova, was in Juneau after a trip to Scattle where he attended hearings on the fishing situation on the Copper River. “It was indicated,” he said, that the Copper River will be closed to commercial fishing Raymond Gilligan returned to school at Thane after being absent for some time because of injuries sustained from a fall on the Thane board walk. Judge John Winn sailed on the steamer Jefferson for Seattle where he was to visit his family Mrs. Frank J. Cotter, known as “Babe” throughout Alaska because she was the first white child born on Cook Inlet, passed through Juneau on the Alameda enroute to Seward to dispose of her husband's clothing business. She expected to join Mr. Cotter later in Kobe, Japan, where he had entered the exporting busines: Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. Gault and children of Skagway, returning from a trip outside, visited friends in Juneau while the steamer Jefferson John G. Brady arrived on the Estebeth from Sitka and left Juneau where he was to be employed by the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company. e | Daily Lessons in English % 1. corbox e et e e 2 - 2 el e WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “Of the two sisters I like the smallest one best.” Say, “I like the SMALLER one BETTER” when referring to two.
