Figures from both markets represent
the average cost of the prices mentioned
taking the prices of several stores in each
city as a basis for the average. The cost
Of coffee. tea, sugar and other groceries
and fruits is about the same in both
cities. Flour is probably slightly cheaper
in Wilmington.
Summary Of the cost to the Camden
housewife of her marketing and to the
Wilmington housewife of hers. for equal
quantities Of all the products mentioned
shows that the Camden housewife would
be obliged TO pay S4.1S4 for her edibles
ana the Wilmington housewife s3.S7a for
hers, 81 cents less than her sister in the
New Jersey town. A slight difference in
the total cost, il is true, but it is the cent
and not the dollar that the economic
housewife saves first. 1t means dollars to
her at the close Of the year, as the follow
ing estimate of the cost Of maintaining
weekly family of five persons, will
show.
A thrifty housewife is authority for the
statement that a wOrkingman whose in
come is $3.50 a week can spend at least
Sc a week ION the table" Produce being
cheaper here than in Camden the Will
mington housewife can OF course, obtain
more. The following table will show
what food is necessary for the mainte-
nance Of a family Of five, and what the
cost is in Camden and in this city.

KID WEST STORY AGAIN
Story Is Told That He Is Being Held
 In a British Columbia Prison.

A report about Kid West which seems to be well authenticated is that he is being held in the Victoria jail until the time when the O'Brien trial will come on at Dawson, says the Se- attle Times. West, who was under sentence in Walla Walla, was turned over to the Canadian officials to ap- pear as witness in O'Brien's trial on the charge of killing Relic and Clayson of Seattle and lineman Olsen.
 Yukon territory and Alaska papers have speculated on how and when West was passed through to Dawson Many statements that he had never been taken down the river have ap, peared and Northwest Mounted Po- lice reports seemed to corroborate them. Now comes the news, through a well-known water front man in Seat tie, who says he was told by Canadian official that West is being held in the British Columbia prison. There are fears that habeas corpus proceedings might be attempted in passing over American territory in Alaska, on the way in

Mrs, Shorthi11 Lectures

Mrs Shorthill delivered lecture last night before the Historical Society of Company L, Twentyfourth Infantry, on the subject Hereditary Influence " The lecturer was introduced by Cor. poral Jennings, president of the soci. ety, in few we'll chosen remarks.
 The subject was divided into differ ent phases. The lecturer proved that much crime came from hereditary in- tiuence as we'll as much good She ex- plained that child reared in crime can be placed in different moral surround ings, and the nature changed so that hereditary influence will be lost sight of. Mrs. Shorthill spoke on the liquor question, stating that in Maine, where children are educated against the evil. they grow up and are the greatest eN- ponents of temperance. The lecture throughout showed signs of deep study and was listened to with close and ap- preCiative attention.

WHILE Hf WAS IN NOME
Yesterday Brought Suit Against J. B. Moore, P. E. Kern. R D. Well the Story--No Fraud Was Done-- Acted on Capt Moore's Idea.

Captain William Moore has begun suit in the District Court against J B. Moore, his son, Peter E. Kern, R. D. Weldon and Charles E. Cole, for $500, which he claims was obtained from his wife last year under false preten4es while he was absent in Nome.
 The case will most likely develop in- to complicated legal tangle, and is substantially as follows:
 Charles E. Cole, who has lately been playing frequent engagements on the Dawson woodpile, was last summer edi- tor of the Skagway Budget, which has since succumbed to the inevitable He had at one time been private secretary to Captain Moore, and was asked b. the captain to negotiate the sale of his (the captain) wharf property This Cole did, but complicated discussion arose as to his commission. P. r.. Kern, one of the partners in the suit at Captain Moore's request, endeavor- ed to make a settlement with Cole as to the commission.
 Mir. Kern yesterday gave the iol- lowing version of the affair:
 Captain Moore came and asked me to make settlement with Cole to the best of my ability
 Cole had sold his interest in the Moore wharf for $ISooo, $3,ooo nor than Moore demanded and wanted ST. GOO commission.
 q made several unsuccessful attempts to settle with Cole, and in the mean time Captain Moore sailed for Nome. leaving me to make as good a settle ment as possible
 About two weeks after the captain departed, Cole went broke and needed money. He came around and agreed to settle for $500 spot cash. A agreed to this, and we went over to Mrs. Moore to get the money. She gave me S5ooo draft on the Canadian Bark of Commerce. which l cashed paid Cole his $500 and returned the balance to her Cole gave me receipt rcliu- gushing all claim of commission, and l thought the matter was settled.
 When Captain Moore returned from Nome he claimed that Attorney Weldon and his son had persuaded his wife to give me the money against her will, and threatened suit. The affair was so long standing that the sum mons received by me yesterday came as quite a surprise"
 Captain Moore claims he has been jobbed, and refers to the defendants ii- this case as a pack of thieves Hc threatens to have Weldon disbarrcd from practicing law
 Should he win the suit J. B. Moore R. D. Weldon and P E. Kern woutt have to pay the money, as Cole is al present in Dawson hiding from the DO lice, who want him for obtaining money under false pretenses.

New Cannerv on Taku.

The San Juan Fish Company of Sc, attle IS going to erect cannery and sawmill on the Taku, about 10 miles from Juneau. Mir Calver, the man, ager of the company, has been OH the ground for several days past, arrang, ing for the construction of the build lngS. The company proposes to util- ize water power and have a man in specting several possible supplies in the vicinity.
 It will require about $ horse power for the operation of the sawmill can nery, electric lights, etc. This would cost in the neighborhood of $7ooo a year to obtain by steam, and as the company intends to stay in the busi- ness it will use water power if avail able.
 The sawmill will be erected imme- diately and will turn out lumber first for the construction of the cannerr buildings and after that for the open market Excellent sawlogs can be ob- tained in the vicinity.

WOOD SETS MARCH I6
Managers of the Big Companies Claim It Will Throw Hundreds Community Investments Will Also Be Greatly Depreoiated.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.
 Dawson, Feb 28.-The order closing the gambling houses and prohibiting the sale of liquor in theaters except at the bar has created great consterna> ton here.
 Yesterday. the date on which the or der should go into effect, was set Ma jor Wood positively fixed March 10.
 Immediately on this news becoming known, the managers of the North American Trading and Transportation Company, Alaska Commercial Con- pany Alaska Exploration Company, Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Bank of British North America, met and drew up petition to Ottawa ask ing for the postponement of the law until June at the earliest.
 They gave as their reason that thou- sands of dollars worth of liquor would depreciate by at least one-half if the gambling houses are closed and the gamblers go out of business.
 They also said that the government invited and permitted the gamblers to engage in business, and now by sud denly throwing them out it would throw them and the girls on the com munity, and would greatly depreciatc investments.
 This petition will be telegraphed to Ottawa, while another one will be sent by mail

At the next meeting of the City Council an ordinance will be presented extending the time for the payment of taxes and remitting all penalties.
 The idea prevailed yesterday that taxes were delinquent last night. Ordl- nance No. 7, Section 28, states that on the Ist day of March (today) at 6 o'clock p. m, all unpaid taxes are de- linquent, and 20 per cent additional penalty and interest at the rate of s per cent per annum shall be added when paid,
 On account of the unsettled condition of the city in regard to the townsite decision many have neglected to pay their taxes. In view of this fact, and that money is more plentiful now than it was, it is deemed advisable to give further time.
 So far nearly all of the larger prop erty owners have paid their taxes, and the smaller owners are coming up sat isfactorily, but there still remains a large number who will become delin, quent.
 The ordinance extending the time will place the date at which non-payers become delinquent at April I. It IS further ordered that the city treasurer shall keep all penalties which he shall have collected before the passage of the ordinance on any taves for this year in a separate fund, to be refunded to the parties having paid the sane. Those who shall have paid their pen, alties will be able to get refund hv presenting the claim to the City Coun- cil, which body shall order warrant drawn for the amount.
