REPORT comes from Vancouver, B. c.,
that there will likely be another vex-
atious strike next season on the price OF
salmon. The Gamers have combined
and the fishermen have combined.
The former say that next season thew
will not give more than 10 cents for
salmon, the fishermen say they will
not fish unless they get Is cents. Last
year they demanded % cents. The
Gamers offered Is and they came to no
agreement until the Japanese broke the
back bone of the strike by going ont
under police protection. The Japanese
will cut little figure this year, as most
OF them hold bogus naturalization papers
that the government are siezing when
presented, in applying for fish license.

The authorities of Honolulu and the
Hawaiian islands have determined to
put stop to the landing Of persons in
fected with tuberculosis on any Of the
shores OF that part of the United States
A bill to this effect has been presented
to the territorial Legislature, and as it is
receiving every support there is said to
be little doubt that it will become 4
law. This measure will also make it 1
misdemeanor for any person to aid in
the landing of any of this class in any
OF the islands of the group. This act
Ion on the part of the Hawaiian
authorities is q sequel to the action Of
the San Francisco authorities when, !
few months ago, they refused to permit
the landing of two persons who had
come from the North Pacific coast to
seek relief IL that state.

NORTH DAKOTA AND RATES
LIKELY TO BE INCREASED. :
Minneapolis, June 19.-Insurance
men say that North Dakota this year
is very diseouraging field for them.
Insurance operations in that state
have not been profitable for several
years. Walter H. Cobban, state agent
for the Manchester, says: North Da-
kota's ratio OF loss to premiums for
twelve years is far greater than that
of South Dakota or Minnesota. Her
ratio is IS per cent for sixteen years.
Minnesota has ratio of Sc per cent
for eleven years. South Dakota ratio
is 56 per cent Climatic conditions
and lack of efficient fire protection
have something to do with it, I con-
slider carelessness in construction of
buildings incident to a new country
and in allowing rubbish to accumu-
late around towns is one of the rea-,
sans. Insurance companies ought
not to demand anything unreasonable
Of North Dakota, but they will not do
business at loss. If the people of
North Dakota, acting in their indi-
vidual capacity and through their
municipal and state governments, can
get the ratio loss down to that of other
good states, there will be no difhculty
In getting the rates adjusted to cor.

follows: .m,
II have refrained from making a
report regarding clothing seized by
Colonel Maus because the quantity
was very small and it all appeared to
have come from the same man, junk
dealer who did business around the
Presidio. The clothing had evidently
been sold to this peddler by soldiers
and recruits. The junk man and his
son, who sold it, have been arrested
by the federal authorities and their
case is being considered by the fed
eral grand jury u. --~ .,..,- %..5s
There is no shortage in any of the
departments here. This seized cloth
ing undoubtedly represents the ac-
cumulation Of articles which have
been sold from time to time during the
past year or two by the thousands of
soldiers who have passed through San
Francisco. do not regard this mat.
ter as of any Importance, though it
has been widely exploited by the SEN
sationa1 newspapers. However, the
seizure Of these articles and the ar.
rests made will have the effect,
think, of discouraging the purchase or
| sale of soldiers wearing apparel in
ItMs vicinity hereafter. Following il
an exact list of the articles seized:
Blankets, II pairs; 1eggins,
