The shipments of lumber by rail keep up

Canadian Pacific is marked This. IN part.
is accounted for by the shipper with the
statement that Canadian Pacific cars have
been more easily or quickly obtained
along the line OF the Seattle. Lake Shore
& Eastern than Northern Pacific or Bur-
lington cars. The California trade is quiet.
with buyers still holding of on present
prices. and shipping under contracts made
before the advance. The feeling that
prices will be maintained on cargo ship
ments is growing stronger. The only OPP
position comes from California buyers
who are outside the deal.
The most healthful sign in the car trade
is the demand for ar: not that It is so
large, but rather because the orders indi-

TORTURED 10 DEATH.


fteDdtSh Cruelty Exercised by an
Alaska Indian for Witchcraft.
In the jail at Juneau. awaiting trial on
the charge OF murder. is Chief Ye-teet-
ieeh, the tyee of the Hoonah Indians. q
small tribe of some 100 members. occupy
ing Chichlkon island. about 100 miles
scatherly from Juneau.
The offense with which the old chief Is
charged is the murder by torture Of his
nephew, whom he accused of witchcraft.
The chief had disease afflicting his right
leg. which had gradually eaten the greater
part OF IL away. He dreamed that his
nephew had bewitched him and on the
strength OF this proceeded TO infiict pun
i1hment due the crime.
The victims knees were bent close back
and in this position he was bound tightly
TO a tree. An iron band. a quarter OF an
inch thick. was then placed around his
face. sinking into the nose and covering
the eyes. and this was also made fast to
the tree, SO that he was unable to move
his head In any direction. He was left in
this position to starve to DEATH He lived
flve days. He was about % years Of age.
Some years ago the same chief put two
women of his tribe to death in the same
manner. Crimes of the kind are not un-
common among the Alaska Indians.
The widow of fine dead man was appro-
priated by the chief. and is now, with tao
OF his other wives, sharing his captivity
voluntarily.
