Add to this the population of Douglas, figured at 681 persons in incomplete and unoificial returns, and the count of the Gastineauj Channel area adds up to 7,559. | Just as the figures released b§ Mrs. Gronroos on June 5 were un- | official, these latest figures are! the same, she said. A great many “tag ends” must be gathered to-| gether before she will have official | figures to send to Washington. The population of Ketchikan, which for some time was a cause | for worry that it might overtake | Juneau when the figure of 5,761 here was revealed last week, am- ounts to only 4,791, she said. The First City has gained 96 “noses” since the 1940 count, This makes Juneau the “second | city” of the Territory without ques- tion, she said. Anchorage is M)v 1, Juneau No. 2, Fairbanks® No. 3| and Ketchikan No. 4. Wrangell and Petersburg both showed gains in population over the 10 years since the last census, | she said. Wrangell now has 1,21 persons living there, compared to 1,162 in the fall of 1939, and Peters | burg boasts 1,574 today compared to 1323 last time. The town of Haines counts up to 331 souls, Mrs, Gronroos said, | with the rural area around AL adding 114 more. Port Chxlkoot,I south of the gateway town, has| 92 persons living in it, and Kluk- | wan, native village north of Haines has 91 population. Outlying island villages on which ! CONDEMNATION SUIT OVER SMITH DAIRY ENDS; DECISION SOON Testimony in the condemngtion hearing on the Smith Dairy prop- erty near 12th Street and Glacier lflxghway was concluded late yes- | terday, with one of the defendants attorneys taking the stand himsell as a witness in behalf of his client. District Judge George W. Folts instructed the attorneys to file briefs with him and indicated he would announce an opinion prob- ably after his return from An- chorage June 21, where he must gc to attend a round-table conferenct with other federal judges in the ‘Territory. Suit was filed against the Smitl property by the Juneau Indepen- dent School District to obtain ¢ l | site for a new grade school. A por- tion of the property desired belong to the Russian Greek Orthodo: Church, also named as a defendan besides the Smiths in the case. Oscar Clausen, 1008 W. 12tk Street, was called to the stanc briefly to testify regarding heigh of the tide and the extent of tide {lands filled in by the Smith family over the years. Clausen is an old time resident of the vicinity. On the opening day of the tria Ed Jacobsen, another old-timer i1 the area, testified that he used t row his skiff up to the area now intersected by the Glacier Highwa: and 12th Street at extreme higl tide. Extent of the tide flow took uj | considerable time during the case which opened Wednesday, becausc by ascertaining its average heighi the amount of land to which the government still holds title may be determined.

ATOM SPY INDICTED WASHINGTON, June 9 — # — A Brooklyn grand jury today in- dicted Harry Gold, Philadelphia chemist and two unidentified per- sons on charges of atom spying against the United States. The indictment was announced here by the Justice Department. In addition to Gold, the indict- ment named “Joe Joe, alias ‘John’ and Richard Roe, alias ‘Sam’,” and asserted that “the true and correct names” of these persons were un- known to the jurors. Gold was arrested at Philadelphia last May 23. The espionage information filed against him at the time of his arrest mentioned also a “John Doe’ described as an agens for the Rus- sian government. This “Johi. Doe” was alleged to have received from Gold atomic sec- rets which had been passed to Gold by Dr. Klaus Fuchs, the British scientist who has since been sent to prison in Great Britain. By naming “Richard Roe,” the indictment introduced another mjy's- terious figure into the alleged war- time traffic in secret data. There was no indication here as to who ‘Ri‘chard Roe, alias Sam” might be.

ALASKA TO BE OPEN FOR TOURIST TRAVEL' One of the importani decisions ox, the recent University of Alaska | Board of Regents meeting, Dr. Ter- | ris Moore announces, was the authorization to the administration of the University to make unused dormitory space available for the accommodation of overflow tourist needs in adjacent Fairbanks areas FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1950 just the thing for Dad on Father's Day during the summer. L “The feeling was,” Dr. Moore snid.: “That, although the financial re- turns will probably but little more | than cover the cost including the increase in the fire hazard, never- theless the University Administra+ tion feels it should exert itself whenever reasonably possible to help the Alaskan tourist business and should not stand idly by with empty dormitories in the face of a serious shortage of facilities to handle properly the needs of the tourist season.” Mrs. Raymond Bell of Kake is staym" at the Baranof Hotel Dad would be mighty pleased to receive a fine new portrait of his family on Father’s Day.
