Now that the long-looked-for war Is
on between the Alaska Packers asso-

cking and Navigation company and the
Independent packers on the other.
few figures In comparison OF the differ
ert packs will not be amiss, says the
Pacific Fisherman. In the first place,
out of total pack of two and half
million eases put up in Alaska, the A..
+. A. packed one and quarter million
ana out OF this. over one million being
red salmon. The Pacific Packing &
Navigation company packed total of
e32, 900 and out of this only 345,Si9 were
of the red variety. Thus IT will be
seen that while the Alaska Packers
association only put up one-hah Of the
total pack Of Alaska they put UP five
eights Of the red pack or the only sal
mon in which there is a good round
margin Of profit for the packers. On
the other hand, the total pack OF the
pinks AMI chums, or the cheap sal-
mon Of Alaska, amounted to 72S,327,
and of this the A. P. A. only packed
162, ,S24 cases, or about two-ninths. The
whole pack of pinks and ehuns for
the entire Pacific coast amounted to
s1s.s4s, and of this amount the 4. P.
A. packed only 163.20S. or a little less
than IS percent The question now Is
whether or not the Alaska Packers as
sociation. with pack Of less than IS
percent of the total pack of pinks and
ehums. can set the price for the whole
pack of the coast.

The association states that there
is no ground for the objection raised
by Il few of the dealers that in noti-
flying the secretary of all property
listed they would be compelled to
make their business public and open
way to unjust discrimination or
Jobbery. All notices of property list
ed will be in absolute confidence and
not even the officers of the associa-

Although the Office of the G. A.
Yancey- Williams Real Estate COM
pany Is not a small one, 1t could
hardly accommodate the attendance
last evening at the regular session
of the Spokane Real Estate associa-
ton.
The meeting surpassed In enthusi-
asm the best hopes of the promoters
of the movement. and the associa-
ton, though hardly a week old, bold
ly identified itself on the side of pub
lie spirit In this meetings transact
lions.
A motion was made and unani-
mously passed that the city council
be urged to at once place street signs
on all the corners of the city.
Another important resolution
which bespeaks the keen interest OF
the association In the city's welfare
was that hereafter no For sale"
signs will be displayed on property
listed by members for the obvious
reason that no one influence can be
more depressing to city than the
spectacle Of the promiscuous display
OF such signs.
The association proposes to run Its
business In a dignified way and this
Is one of it's methods to prevent the
hawking Of property.
Another resolution, whose results
will likely be far reaching in it's
benefits, was that to inaugurate the
exclusive listing of property.
Under this act no member of the
association will handle piece of
property already in the hands of an
other.
This will prevent one bad practice.
that of failure by the owner to noti-
fly other agents when one agent
makes a sale of property handled
by all.

Z tween agent and owner the agents

I A resolution was also passed that
the association establish prosecu-
ton board to handle cases of swindl-
ing against any agent. thus saving
the victim of such swindlers from
both trouble and expense. This was
brought about by the number OF such
