New York, April I'm the opinion of a
good many people a strike is imminent on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey sys-

that Chief P. NJ. Arthur of the Brother

and Chief Frank P. Sargent of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen was pre-
pairing tonight to leave the city also.
Added to this was a statement made by
E. E. Clark, chief of the Brotherhood of
Conductors, who said that he certainly
would sanction any action his men,
meaning the conductors of the road,
might see fit.
Meetings were held to-day by the local
organizations at all important points
along the Jersey Central line. 1t is be-
lieved that vote as to the advisability
of strike was taken at to-days meet

 There will have to be cut in wharfage, however; 8 per ton is too much. We have cut the freight and passenger rates, and the wharfage company should do something. The freight to Haines is only s, and g. for wharfage looks big
 Yesterday a short time before we arrived the Rustler, Captain Malcolm Campbell, pulled in from Juneau with IS passengers and 50 tons of freight. She had been since Saturday night com ing from Juneau, and met head winds and bad weather all the way.
 "I learned that the Rustler was 1ot permanent on the Hanes-J Juneau run, having been chartered only for the one trip. Whether she will make any more will depend on travel
 q talked to several of the merchants and found that Skagway has a few staunch friends in Haines who will as sist her in getting that trade. The Vira Rial will get the travel and Skag- way will get the business"
 The steamer will hereafter make the run twice a week-Monday and We'd nesday.

HUSTLER FROM JUNEAU
Vira Rial Made q Good Run Yes terday--Trail In Good Condition To the Mines--Wharfage Is Too High--Captain Campbell Is Opp erating the Rust1er.

The Nira Rial justified her claim to the title of the Lynn Canal Flyer when she made the run to Haines yesterday in a little less than two hours When 1t is considered that she Is being oper- ated with the old and small screw in stead Of the new one that will be in place some time this week, there is conclusive proof that she will be able to make the run in one hour and thir- ty minutes with the new screw Per cy B. Hunting, owner of the steamer who made the trip to Haines yester- day, says that the people of that place are greatly incensed against Skagway but will soon get over it, as they real ize the efforts that have ben made for their convenience, and that we would like to get their business.
 "The river trail is now very good for dog teams" said Mr. Hunting.
 "Of course there are several bad places along the trail, but as a rule travelling is good, and many outfits are preparing to start in soon.
 "A great amount of freight has late ly been landed at Hanes from Seattle.

where there are so many children hun gry for the intellectual food furnished by choice literature; and so little in the way of home libraries to satisfy that craving.
 This is a book-loving people with out books; generous supporters of d public school without a school house. Already there is about $25 in the treas ury, and every cent contributed has aroused feeling of loving interest and personal ownership in the donor
 The schools have a very moderate supply of textbooks and two frst-class dictionaries. An encyclopedia and plenty of reference books on history, science, literature and art are soon to be had, it is hoped. Some of the choic- est books written by the worlds great men for children and youth will soon be in the hands of these earnest, wide awake boys and girls, and these will be purchased by the money they have earned or saved
 The money in the hands of the sctool treasurer is surely needed for a school building The present rooms, so crowded, poorly heated and poorly ventilated, should be an unanswerable argument in favor of leaving that fund undsturbed till a commodious, modern, well-equipped building stands complete a monument to a public-spirited, pro gressive people There can be but one result if parents and patrons will join with the children, making the town d unit in this work.

NEW VENTURE AT TAKU
Plans of the New Organization are ManifoId-Steamer Elihu Thomp- son, Owned By One of the Stock holders, Will Call In South Bound

Recent arrivals from Seattle throw d new light on the cannery to be erected at Taku Harbor.
 The new establishment is not only to be a cannery, but is to combine a fish freezing plant as well,
 Seattle capitalists engaged in the salmon and cold storage business in that city are the new operators. The company, as before stated will be known as the San Juan Fish and Pack ing Company, the capitalists having absorbed the interests of James H. and William Calvert. It is stated that $6o- 900 will be spent in the improvements.
 The operators have been very quiet but it is understood that one of the chief objects of the company is to ship frozen salmon to the East, and even to London and Hamburg, Germany. For the past few seasons the shipments of fish East and Europeward has grown from a few cars to nearly 100 per an mum, and the season now approaching will see greater shipments to those points than ever before.
 me Haclnc COld storage company which is heavy stockholder in the new organization. owns the steamer Elihu Thomson. Although his steam. CT will ply between Seattle and Nome and St. Michael it is the present in tention to have her call in at Taku southbound and take south a cargo of the frozen fish. Of course the canned fish will be shipped on the same steamer, and the company will there fore kill two birds with one stone with the Thomson.
 w. H. Bogle is president and James H. Calvert vice-president and manager of the company William Calvert will be the Alaska manager. The com pany owns cold storage plants at Se- attle and at Tacoma. The head office will be located at the former place.

The meeting of the City Council last night was one of the liveliest sessions held for months, and more business was transacted in what seemed to be the shortest hour and half than some bodies would pass through in an ali night session.
 The two new councimen were sworn in and took their seats. Tn, meeting opened quietly; then the dis tant roar of the impending battle was heard and in less than no time the req Fourth of July fireworks began with Councilman Keelar as the man at the gun, backed up closely by Councilmen Mayer and Barley.
 There was no limit to scintilatinG sparks of humor, and when the swis1 of the aX was first heard it was mere ly an echo of what followed.
 There was plenty of good work done and the new council has evidently got ten down to bedrock and intend stay ing right with the pay streak until nothing remains.
 At exactly o'clock Mayor w. l.. Green called the meeting to order There were present besides his honor Councilmen Mayer, Guthrie, II. C. Barley and F. T. Keelar, who were ready to be sworn in. In view of the fact that no quorum was present, At torney Dillon advised the Mayor ~o have Acting City Clerk Lowering read the minutes of the last meeting, then to pass on the election returns and swear in the two newly elected council men then a quorum would be present This was done accordingly. The minutes were read, the ballot box with the results of the election was opened and Mayor Green declared Messrs Barley and Keelar duly elected mem bers of the governing body of the city Attorney Dillon administering the oath.
