(GEORGE GRIGSBY TO SEEK
DEMO NOMINATION FOR DEL
EGATE AT APRIL PRIMARIES
In a general review of the political
.situation, the Ketchikan Chronicle
jsays that Attorney George B. Grigs
by, of Ketchikan, once Delegate and
the Democratic candidate in the last
campaign, will seek the Democratic
nom nation again in the coming pri
mary contest. The names of A. H.
Ziegler, another Ketchikan attorney,
.and A, L. Dimond, of Valdez, also are
mentioned as possible candidates. On
the Republican aide Judge Jamas
Wickersharo and Attorney General
.John Rustgard apparenttly are going
hrough with their plana ti enter the
primary in quest of the delegate nom
ination, but neitther thus far has is
sued an outline of policies and it is
not known what their platforms will
be. *
For treasurer, the present incura
.bentt, Walsein G. Smith, would like
to succeed himself, while there is a
strong probability that Ray Stevens,
4»f the First National Bank of Juneau,
will Also seek the Repubican nomina
tion^'
neer, is mentioned as a candidate for
re-election as either a Democrat or
jsn independent. Who will seek the
Republican nomination is not clear
jtl this time, but it is understood a
resident of Interior Alaska covets the
Commissioner of Education Leo W.
jBreuer is likely to enter the field for
re-election, and it said Professor
Keller, superintendent of the Juneau
;schools, also has aspirations in that
.direction. There is also some talk
■that L. D. Henderson, who now is in
Ahe States, will return to Juneau in
time to file for this position.
The position of auditor, a new
.office created by the last Legislature,
16 which Cash Cole was elected by
that body, will again be sought by
Mr. Cole. It Is understood Frank
Aldrich will also file.
fa honor of Annahootz, famous
Sitka Indian chief of early American
Alaska days, noted for his friendli
sseos to the whites, a mountain on
Haranoff Island has been named An
Aahootjz by the United States Geo*
graphical Board. The mountain, 4,709
feet high, is located about two and
one-half miles from the beach at
Nakwasina farrows, on the west
coast of Baranoff Island, and is
north of Katlian mountain, named
after a riyai chief, at one time a*
enemy of the whites, but who later
became friendly. Annahootz ruled
over the Sitkans for many years and
seved for a long time as Indian po
liceman at Sitka. He died prior to
1906, according to Rev. A. P. Kash
gvaroff, curator of the Alaska Mu
seum,

and Fred B .Parker, raided a com
pletely equipped stRlhouse which had’
apparently bean Jin operation for nj

The plant was net being operated

steam pump, two stills- of from 75. to
100 gallon* capacity- each, containers
of various kinds,-an. elabootate filter,
and in the mash, room in the rear
two anormous-.vats. ..A.wall was con
nected directly with the pump.
Located about 12. miles from Fair
banks on McCoy slough..and about
two miles from the- farmers’ Chena
slough road, the distillery was strat
egically located at .a, pace in .the
.woods which is seldom visited.
Officers found .60 gallons of fin
ished product in the form of oom
whiskey. It had .been run through
i the still twice and filtered. The filter
was of 10 gallons-capacity mnd con

I lime, magnesia , and charcoal.
Both vats in the rear room were
.filled with -mash. .It.is estimated that
