ROADHOUSE MAN HAS A WIFE
Flannigan's Wedding June 17 Was Kept a Profound Secret.
UNTIL HIS DEPARTURE.
Couple Left This Morning for the Sixteen-Mile Roadhouse.
It developed this morning on the departure of Thomas J. Flanagan, of the
Sixteen-Mile roadhouse, for that hostelry, that exactly a month ago today he was
united in marriage to Mrs. Christina Goodspeed, the ceremony having been
performed at the Palace Hotel by Dr. S. Hall Young.
Much to the chagrin of their friends to avoid expense and publicity, the matter
was kept a profound secret at that time, and even at the last the couple stated
quite brazenly that Mrs. Goodspeed was going to the roadhouse to cook, instead
of going there to officiate in her capacity as the better half of the roadhouse
proprietor.

GOOD RECORD BY FAIRBANKS GIRL
Daphne Moody Will Enter the University of California Next Month.
An excellent record in her studies at Oakland high school has been made by
Daphne Moody, who left Fairbanks last year to prepare for college, and next fall
will see her enrolled among the freshman at the University of California. At
present she is visiting relatives.
Daphne, who was a third year high school student, left Fairbanks in July, but
she found that the California schools begin very early, hence she missed the
first month.
Despite that fact, however, she passed in all her subjects this summer and was
given entrance credentials to the University. In fact, she was the only girl in
class who passed in trigonometry.

TO PUT UP BARS TO IMMIGRATION
European Discontent Should Not Be Transplanted in America.
The experience of the Grays Harbor cities with the industrial workers of the
world, composed mainly of recent immigrants, is followed logically by a
declaration in a Memorial Day address of Albert Johnson, editor of the Hoquiam
Washingtonian, in favor of more stringent immigration laws. He interpreted the
sentiments of the veterans in these words:
"Put up the bars against immigration.
"Enact more stringent laws concerning naturalization and enforce these laws to
the letter.
"Let citizenship be a privilege to those who live in and love the United States.
Deny citizenship to those newcomers who respect neither our flag nor our
institutions and you have imparted a mass of isms that, if not checked, must
lead to anarchy and revolution."
In reviewing discussion and legislation on immigration from the formation of the
Republic, Mr. Johnson recalled a remarkable prediction by representative
Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, made in 1794, that, although the United States was
founded as an asylum for all the world, it could not be forever so. Sedgwick
said:
"We must not invite or bribe the undesirable to come with us. America must
husband its wealth of land, for many will be dependent when it is gone."
At the time when that prediction was made the western boundary of the United
States was the Mississippi River, but we have already almost verified his
further prediction, made in December, 1795, that the lands would be gone in 100
years, and that when the oppressed arrived on our shores they would not be
quickly relieved, but would be overcome by their miseries before they learned to
love their adopted flag.
There are no longer vast areas of public land open for settlement by the
oppressed of all nations. We are already conserving what remains for posterity
and Mr. Johnson pertinently asks:
"Who's posterity? Our children or the children of southern Europe, who, when
they come to us now, cannot be pioneers to build up and possess our fields and
farms?"
The character of immigration has changed and the newcomers are imbued with
lawless, restless sentiments of anarchy and collectivism. They arrived to find
their hopes too high, the land almost gone and themselves driven to crowd into
cities and struggle for a living. Then anarchy becomes rife among them. The
remedy is to put up the bars and stop the transplanting to America of the
discontent of Europe.

SPALDING TO ORDER MILL
Captain Spalding, of Dome, Will Have a Two-Stamp Nissen Mill.
ORE RUNNING VERY WELL.
Locally Constructed Mill is Taking Out Expenses Daily.
Capt. Spalding, of the reliance mining company, at the head of Dome Creek, is
the latest to fall into the line of hard rock men who are ordering stamp mills
this season. It is true the captain has a little three stamp Mill with stamps of
500 pound weight made here in Fairbanks at work on his property, and is taking
out enough money to pay the running expenses of the mind, but he wishes to get a
plant that will be more economical, hence he has ordered two of the Nissen
single mortar box stamps.
According to Ray Brumbaugh, who was a recent visitor on the creeks, Capt.
Spalding's or is ranging in the neighborhood of $90-$100 to the ton. Of five
days run which had resulted in the crushing of a little less then 9 tons, gave a
cleanup of $800, or the or milled at the rate of $92 to the ton.
There is plenty of water at present for the little mill which is being run
steadily, although the water has to be pumped from the old shaft.
The vein on the Spalding property remains strong and well defined as the work
progresses.

IN JUSTICE COURT
On the conclusion of the hearing yesterday before Commissioner Fitzpatrick of
China, Lockie McDonald, who was arrested for giving liquor to Indians, was bound
over to the grand jury under $5000.
McDonald, who had been working on the Julia B. during the early part of the
season, had been in town celebrating, but on Saturday he started down river to
take charge of a wood camp about 12 miles below Channa. On his way he broke his
paddle and stopped at the Channa Indian village a couple of miles below to get
it fixed.
While there the alleged act of giving liquor to natives occurred, although
Commissioner Fitzpatrick stated that the evidence on the matter was not exactly
clear.
McDonald is now in the federal jail waiting for the session of the grand jury.

REAL PAY DISCOVERED ON FIRST CHANCE CR.
Money Uncovered on the Line Between 8 and 9 on First Chance, Tributary of
Redmond Creek in the Salchaket Country by Andy Roth and the Fisher Brothers --
They Have Four and One-Half Feet of Pay.
Real pay has at last been discovered on first chance Creek benches up in the
Salchaket country, according to Joe Fisher and Andy Roth, who arrived from the
section yesterday with the prospects they obtain from the last whole.
Two years ago Ford and Ping Strohm took out between $4000 and $5000 on the Creek
claim proper between nine and 10 above, but that seem to be the end of the pay.
This spring Harry Fisher, Joe Fisher and Andy Ross went up on the Creek and have
put down two holes, the first in the Creek between eight and nine above and the
second on the left limit bench. At a depth of 65 feet in this last whole they
reached bedrock having generated through 12 feet of wash gravel just above
bedrock. Of this gravel there is a thickness of 4 1/2 feet that will run from 3
1/2 to 4 cents to the pan
How wide this money is and how far it extends up and down the Creek the boys did
not have an opportunity to determine as they were out of supplies and had to
come down to Fairbanks to earn the money for another grub steak. In the fall, as
soon as the freighting is good, the three men will move back up River to the
scene of their prospecting. Harry Fisher did not come down with the others as he
paused for a couple of ways to visit Stowe's workings, Stowe being another
prospector on Redmond Creek.
Redmond Creek is a tributary of the Salchaket River and heads back to the south
against the divide into which banner Creek, of the tenderfoot, has its source.
First chance empties into Redmond. In distance the Fisher boys are there for
about 20 miles above Salcha Post.
The Fisher boys own a half interest in number eight of first chance, which is
numbered up from the mouth, while they have a two years lease on the property,
Andy Roth owns an Association claim in the same vicinity.
