! regularity up to the present, the Pre

the usual quarterly dividend . of 8

dent of Alaalca and Yukon, died at the
Government hospital in Anchorage a
few days ago.
Me. Williams came in from the
Talkeetna dstrict about a week ago
for treatment, at the hospital, but his
condition was such that little could
be done for him. Death is attributed
to a .complication of aiftnents.
Mr. Williams was in the Dawson
country in .the early Klondke days,
having bad charge of the electric
light plant at Dawson in 1900. He
moved to Fairbanks some.years later
and was there for a considerable
time. He was known, among the old
