Alaska Salmon Fishing.

The work throughout the Karluk
river was comparatively poor. The
highest catch was made at South End,
Lewis Worth being in charge of the
seine. The biggest lot pulled in in
one haul was 1910.
The red salmon, which is the most
sought for, was the scarcest in the
river. Those that were in the river
were also shy of the bait There are
seven canneries on the KaHuk river,
which is two iu excess of last season,
and yet the entire catch is almost 40
per cent. less than that of last year.
The salmon after being caught are
handled entirely by Chinese. A large
force of Chinese are necessarily en-
ployed. Their ingenuity and bust
ness-ike methods have been developed
during their stay in the north, and
this season they were prepared for
action, and ready to turn everything
to account. The packing companies
are so careful of their employees that
they will allow them to have no liquor
on the ground. The Chinese, know
ing of this, took up a considerable
quantity of Sam Shu, or Chinese gin,
and their wet merchandise netted
them a handsome profit. The stuff,
which is horrible at its best, cost the
Chinese about 80 cents a gallon, and
they sold it for So quart bottle.
The men at South End did no fish
ing at night, as they were not pre-
pared for the work, having no Ian
terms with them. Had they been able
to work at night it is claimed that
they could have caught double the
number of salmon. Twelve thousand
cases were put up at the new cannery
when 10000 cases were counted on at
the lowest estimate. The catch all
around in Alaskan waters is said to
have fallen far below that of previous
seasonS.-IS. r. Chronicle, %.

sWOuld Plead Guilty To Save Him.

When lovely woman stoops to folly
And finds too late that men betray.
What charm can soothe her melancholy!
What grief can wash her guilt away.
WOman's i'll bestowed regard, and
the constancy with which she clings to
the object of her affections, however
unworthy, has long been the theme of
the poet and the moralist.
This phase of life was fittingly
illustrated yesterday in the circuit
court.
Some time ago q being that was
once a man and answers to the name
of George Smith, in company with a
girl called Edith Holmes, stole a
watch and ring, and secreted them in
the top story of First street dive.
When apprehended Smith managed
to get his frail partner implicated, and
they were jointly indicted.
Though knowing that he had tried
to get her imprisoned and convicted
to save himself, the Holmes girl told
the Judge that she would plead guilty
and take all the burden upon herself
if he would let Smith 60.
They were both convicted yesterday
afternoon, and will be sentenced next
Monday.

Any person entitled to pre-empt and
homestead quarter section of land
may exercise both privileges by TAX
ing the pre-emption first. The gov
ernment laws prohibit anyone from
leaving any land of his own to pre-
empt, and if a homestead or timber
claim is desired, it can be taken after
the pre-emption has been secured. By
taking this course, a man can secure
$50 acres of land in this locality, but.
timber culture claims" and desert
land" are not found In this locality.
a pre-emption is obtained by six
months residence and the payment of
S1.25 per acre within thirth-three
months from settlement. A residence
of FIVE years, and the payment OF So
and other small fees at the land Office,
is necessary to secure homestead or
it may be commuted on the terms
of pre-emption. Lands, 0alu-
able chiefly for timber or
stone, may be purchased direct from
the government at $3.50 per acre.
School lands are sold at S1.25 per
acre, on easy terms, and the amount
sold to one person is limited to 320
acres. Tide lands are sold by the
state on similar terms to the school
lands. There is also, a special pro-
vision for selling mineral and coal
lands direct from the government.
Land is to be obtained under all these
provisions in this county at present,
but the influx of immigration will
make it difficult to get good locations
after this year.

The signal service has under consid-
Grafton the adoption of a new signal
to take the place of the cautionary sig
nal now in use along the coasts. 1t is
a yellow pennant and is intended to
signify that the service has informa-
ton of value to mariners. Under the
present arrangements ships are some
times held in port when it would be
safe for them to sail. owing to the lack
of defniteness of the storm signal.
The adoption of the yellow pennant is
urged by all interested who have been
consulted aboutit, and it will probably
soon be added to the code. When
that is done storm signals will only be
displayed when high winds are re-

Once IN while one finds in business
circles man, young in years, who has
had the energy and fearlessness 10 enter
into The worlds business arena on "his
own hook" that makes a success of his
undertaking Immediately. Such case we
find in the experience OF Mr.. George W.
Saxon, who a few years ag, opened gen.
eral store in this city. Mr.. 8 lxon has at
tanned wonderful proficiency as business
man for gentleman of his years, and the
tact is to be accounted for on the ground
that his past history contains a record OF
no idle moments. He has worked his way
up Until he is entitled to be ranked with
business men many years his senior.
Mr.. Saxon has just completed and moved
INTO his new bank building, south of Uni
Vcrsi'y Library, and will always be found
1t his post as managing partner OF the new
banking firm of G. W. Saxon & Co. That
genial and popular young tinancler, Mr.. b.
n. Meginniss, is cashier, and these two
brilliant young men are sure to make the
business a success. See advertisement of
