The low prices quoted by the Alaska
Packers Association for the 1901 Alas
ka pack can be attributed In part to
the fact that on the Karluk the fish
are seined and traps are used on the
Chlgnik These are operated by cheap
labor. OF which there is an abun-
dance In the localities named. II
ls reported that the Alaska Pack
era Association. through It's agents, J.
X. Armsby & Co. have named their
prices for the 1901 Alaska pack. Red
tails are quoted at 70 cents. This Is
no doubt Intended TO discourage new
enterprises and the immense surplus,
prestige and influence OF the assocla-
tion viii probably bring about the de-
sired result.

Representative Allen tells an inter-

fisheries bill until too late for Speaker |
Reeder's signature. After II had been |
returned from the enrolling committee |
representative Barrett, the chairman |
p1t II into his outside coat pocket and |
ed corridors OF the statehouse. For |
tunately no member Of the wheel mems |
lobby discovered the fact or II would |
undoubtedly have been lifted" Mr.. |
Allen trailed Barrett around until II |
o'clock. when upon a stern request |
from Senator Fulton, almost amounting |
to a command, Barrett presented the
bill to the speaker for his signature.
Being the wind-up OF the session time
was valuable and there was absolutely
no excuse for Barrett's dilatorlness. and
no explanation unless It was inten-
tional.
One OF the llveliest and best farce
comedies Of the season Is Chas. Boyle's
aggregation of fun makers presenting
the latest laugh producer entitled THE
Star Boarder" which comes to FISH
ers opera house next Saturday. In
the ordinary skit which goes under the
appelation Of farce comedy 1t isn't so
much a matter OF consecutive plot as
of good speciality people, who are first
elias entertainers. THE Star Boarder"
has both plot and good people, besides
there are several good comedians, Mr..
Boyle being himself the particular star
among them. AS Chauncey Depot, the
star boarder, he Is whole show in
himself. There are so many pleasing
features that 1t would be tedious to
enumerate them, but Boyles Sousa,
the March King, and his singing and
limitations are decided hits. Seat sale
opens Friday morning at Griffin &
Reeds.
