Frank Cook returned on the Jeffer
son yesterday after an absence
from his office since October 17.
While away from Skagway, Mar
shal Cock maile two trips to Seat
lie and McNeill's island, besides
several other shorter trips on of
ficial business.
It was to Mr. Cook that the re
sponsibility of returning Edward
Kruuse to Juneau from Seattle was
given, aud in performing tlii3 duty
tu his oifice, he was entirely buc
iessft'1. To avoid any demonstra
tion at Seattle, the Str. Humboldt,
after leaving her regular pier in
Seattle, called at another wharf,
where Marshal Cook and the pri
soner were taken on board. Upon
t'.ie arrival of the steamer in tho
north, so as to ore vent any demon
stration at Juneau, the prisoner "was
taken off at Thane, when the ves
sel docked there, and Kra.use was
taken to the federal JaJJ in Juaeati
by auto. —
In speaking ot his return, Mar
shal Cook Bays that ho Is glad to be
once more at nomo and hopes that
he may be able to spend the holi
days in Skagway In peace and quiet.
Wh«n asked how ha found things
in his office, he Btated that every
thing was in good shapg and tha af
fairs of his office had been well
looked after during his absence. .
Dr. L. S. Keller returned from
an extended trio to Haines, where
he has been on professional busi
ness, and will be in hia office dally
for the next few days, after which
time he will go to Sitka, to bo gone
for some time.
In speaking of Haines, Dr. Kel
ler states that the agricultural in
dustry has taken a firm hold on
tha* community, and every; one them
is very optimistic and enthusiastic
over the showing which hog been
made in the Chilkat valley and
other sections adjacent to that tows*
Good crops have been reported
from many of the new ranches, and
several large shipments have been
and the demand for pro
duce grown in the Haines district
is far in excess of the supply. The
•ranchers are therefora devoting
every effort in the development of
their land, and as they are assured
tha» every pound of produce raised
is sure to meet with ready sale
at good prices, they will ?iave larg
er amounts of every variety of veg
etabls to ship during the reason of
