\ wire to the United States Mar
shal’,s'.otficp at Fairbanks from Deputy
i Marshal Frank Wiseman at Bethel,
i recently, stated that Ezra Rabidou,
who had been in jail there since last
whiter charged with insanity, has been
released, after neing* declared sane by
a commission composed of the com
missioner, Mrs. H. M. Paine, Dr. Her
l>ert Wentz, and Wiseman. As Mr.
Rabidou is an old man ami hardly ca
pable of supporting himself, it is
probable that he will be sent to the
| Pioneers’ Home.
Deputy Marshal Wiseman also said j
! that he had made a trip to Nelson j
island and arrested Mrs. Doctor Turn
gonk, native, and, on his way back, a 1
native named Malonye.- Both are in
sane, and will be taken to the States.
Grim Andreanotf, a native, was sen
tenced at Bethel to nine months in Jail
for setting fire to lands not. owned by J
him. Alex Hay;..another native, re—j
reived a sentence qj: a.O days for’as

length ot Andreapprf’s Comqnitment it1
is likely he will be taken-to.Fairbanks

\ seven-loot mud shark, weighing:
in the neighborhood- of d50 pounds,
was towed into Seward recently by
two Halibut tishernien, Sheldon and
Protzman. The fishermen expect to
extract a barrel of oil from the careas.
The hide will be tanned and-usedr-for'
r sole leather purposes. It is reported
the fishermen played■ the "shark* for
three days, effecting its capture after
the fish became too tired to dip a gill.
Mud sharks, it is claimed, are as
peaceful as kittens when they are
dead.

' of gold, platinum and tungsten as the
result of hydraulicking operations
which he instituted this season. He
| wasc handicapped, he says, by the
| lack of proper equipment, but lie re
ports the cleanup as a splendid show
ing, considering the difficulties under
which he labored. The operations dis
cosed the need of greater pressure to
wash down the pay. He will devote
the remainder of the season to pre
paring his plant to meet the require
ments, and is looking forward to a
most successful season next year.
At a preliminary hearing in Fair
banks, O. P. Gaustad, former receiver
and trustee of the Washington-Alaska
Bank, arrested and charged with the
embezzlement by bailee of $28,127.82,
was recently bound over to the grand
jury by Additional Commissioner Al
brecht. Bail was.set at $20,000.
. Complaint against the defendant
was brought by M. A. Thorpetz, spe
cial investigator of the Bureau..of In
vestigation of the Department of Jus
tice, who had been in Fairbanks since
early in June checking up the affairs
of the receivership. An audit of the
books of the receiver was.begun on
July 10 upon order of the. District
Court, and this audit, although not
yet completed,,.shows an alleged short
age of the above mentioned sum.

Douglas fir wiU grow there success
fully and probably as readily as. it
does along the coast farther south,
i The Forest Service has been experi- .
meeting with small numbers of seed-!
j lings for a number of years, and its
records indicate the. feasibility of
growing this species of timber in the j
Tongas national forest. A 12-year
old Douglas fir at ..Sitka is now 11
feet 5 inches high, ancl has a butt di- j
mension of 1 1-2 inches. This is some
what taller than the average 12-year- ;
I old fir in the forests of Washington
and British Columbia, and slightly.
less in diameter. During the past
year the Sitka tree increased about 11
inches in h< igfit, or about the normal j
' rate of growth for a fir of the same
age further south.
