Good shooting.

The following information will be of
interest to gunners and sportsmen: On
the James River, between Curle's Neck
and Claremont, Va, there are plenty of
ducks and good quail shooting. City
Point is the best place to locate. Good
accommodations, guides, boats, blinds
and batteries will be found there, and
duck shooting will be at its height until
the first of the year Gunners should
take their own dogs. City Point is
easily reached by the Old Dominion
Line from New York, to which applica
ton for furthur particulars should be
made.

Reduced Rates.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 10. Alaska
steamship rates have been slashed
again the local association of Alaska
steamship companies has gone to
smash and deadly rate war has been
inaugurated and you can travel first
class from Seattle to Skagway or Dyea
for $25, or second class for SIS.
There is also prospect that rates
will be still further reduced, as feel
ing between the rival companies is
most bitter as a result of alleged vio-
lations of the agreement made by
parties to the now defunct combine.
1t is alleged that the Washington
Steamship Company was the first Of
Tended against the rules of the
"union." The steamer Discovery, it
is said, took passengers for Lynn
canal ports, leaving here September
2, for Sl5, giving first class acconmo-
datious on streerage tickets. At the
same time the association formed it
was decided that rates must be main
tanned at something like uniformity,
and the following was agreed upon:
To Dyea and Skagway, $40 first class
and S25 second classic Juneau.S35 and
$22; to Wraugel, $50 and 20. All went
peacefully for few days and every
body concerned believed that all the
steamship troubles, as far as rates
were concerned, were at an end,
