KILL the WALRUS.
INDIANS STARvE
BRUTAL DESTRUCTION OF THEIR
FOOD SUPPLY BY ALASKA
PASSENGERS,

Port Townsend. Wash, Jan. Ire
ports of the wanton destruction of
walrus in Alaskan waters have reached
the treasury department at Washington.
Walrus come from the Arctic on ice
foes during the early portion of the
open season to points between st.
Michael and Cape Nome, and thousands
of passengers on the early steamers ply
ing between those places shoot into
bands, killing and wounding many, anO
captains of whalers have reported that
thousands of carcasses are seen fioating
in Ber.ng sea and the Arctic ocean.
The walrus is the main Subsistence OF
the Alaska cOastwise Indians, and their
wanton destruction threatens starvation
to the natives. The law relating to the
protection of fur-bearing animals does
not apply to the walrus, but Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding has
issued instructions to Collector of Gus
toms HOustis at this port 10 urge mas
ters of vessels visiting Alaskan waters
to prevent the killing of walrus by per-
sons on board their vessels. These in
structiOns are issued with the view of
protecting the food supply of the
Indians, many of whom are said to be
almost in a starving condition.

Salt Lake, Jan. 17-The National Live
Stock convention opened this morning
with discussions on the Grout OleOmar-
garine bill, under the five minute rule.
The first speaker was Heber Benion,
of Utah, VINO said both sides had told so
many stories that it was hard to find
out the truth of the situation. He
thought committee should be appointed
to ascertain who was telling the truth.
He was followed by Chas. Crane, Of
Utah, who made vigorous speech
against the Grout bill. He said the bill
was unjust and would take away the
right of the states to control their af-
fairs D. w. Wilson. of Illinois, said the
object of the association was to get at
the facts. He spoke on the subject from
the dairyman's standpoint until time
was called.
Mr.. Harris, of Iowa, then spoke, antag-
onizing the views of Mr.. Wilson, and
said what we needed was pure food"
law.
Mr.. Knollin, Of Missouri, then spoke
until President Springer announced that
there was only five minutes time left and
he desired to make some remarks him.
self. He denounced the Grout bill in the
strongest terms. He favored the Wads-
worth substitute, and said every live
stock man would endorse it.
Resolutions in opposition to the Grout
bill We're then adopted.
Mr.. Wilson, of Illinois, then offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted by rising vote:
BE it resolved, that the Live Stock
association will unanimously endorse a
pure food law that shall compel all food
products to be sold for exactly what
they are''
| Before the vote was taken he said he
said he would like time to put the reso-
luton in a little better shape, but the
| chairman announced that the vote would
be taken on the resolutions read.
Judge G. c. Goodwin, of Salt Lake,
then addressed the convention on What

At the conclusion of Judge Goodwin's
speech, Gen. Castleman, of Kentucky,

IRON STRIKE
IS IMMINENT
MEET WAGE REDUCTION WITH
DEMAND FOR INCREASE.
IT MAY TIE UP MANY MILLS
GOOD DEMAND FOR IRON BUT NO
PROSPECT FOR ExTRAoRDIN-
AIRY ACTIVITY,

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 17.-The Iron
Trade Review this week will say:
The prospect of conflict between
blast furnace operators in the Mahoning
and ShenangO valleys and their en-
ployes may become a factor of some inn
portance in the situation. The furnace
men recently decided on reduction
from $1.9O to $1.65 for turn work, and
the employees at a delegate convention
this week not only decided to strike in
case the reduction is put in force, but
presented a counter demand for a 10
per cent increase. The indications are
that operations will stop at all the valley
furnaces now in blast, these including a
number of important plants connected
with the steel works. Should such
deadlock be prolonged the effect would
be felt throughout the central western
market. In the past week there have
been considerable sales of Bessemer
iron prices ranging from 1925 to $13.4O
at Pittsburg. Prices have been station
airy in most markets, with some
tendency to concessions where large
orders are involved. Consumption is
heavier than at any time since early in
1900, but production is increasing stead
lily, and consumers have been counting
on lower prices after ore shipments
begin for the new season. So far as the
prospects for the year can be judged
this early, there are. few preparations
in many directions for an extraordinary
use of iron and steel.
The announcement that prices on rails
would be Withdrawn on January Is may
have hastened some buying, but there
is still skepticism regarding the report
ed 81 advance by February 1. The mills
in all districts are fully occupied and
none are pushing for business. The an
| nouncement of the Carnegie -company's s
plans for tube mills at Conneaut, Ohio,
while at first received with some incred-
ulity, is now generally accepted. and in
it's wake has come variety of reports,
some unsettling while others point to
plans for preventing destructive compe-
tition by an extensive application of the
community of interest principle to she
steel trade.
