Douglas Island news., 1905-03-29

The recent series of burglaries in Ju- neau has set more than the police to thinking. The query is, has the time come in Southeastern Alaska when the ordinary lock is no longer sufficient to protect property? Has the rough, but honest prospector and fronteersman, with whom the lonely cache and the tied tent flap were as safe as the bank vault of chilled steel, given place to the sneak thief, the midnight marauder and the hold.up man? If this indeed be true it is high time that the former laxity be replaced by the most extreme vigilance, that the ease with which the premises are entered may not serve as an announcement to the degenerate who lacks a wholesome respect for the property of others. As a second step it will become necessary forthe federal and municipal authorities to see to it that this section is not made the dump ing ground for the crooks from the cities of the Sound, who are passed uE to us under "move on" orders. Anc finally, if a rogue is caught let his pun ishment be such that it will have al exemplary effect an those who nigh fall into like errors.

When theSpeople out to Valdez got fuzzy, and wired tbe President to turn Alaska over to Canada they overwork- ed the dogs. Alaskan malamutes may stand taking second place to Brady's Siwash mongrels; they may only howl at being classed a little lower than the Filipino niggers, but when you hitch them in with Canadian poodles they will begin to chew the harness and bite.

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9-Higher cables caused
some frmness in the wheat market at the
opening here. May was unchanged to AQhc
at 81 161s to 81 1855. July also was un-
changed to "a higher at 81 00E to 81 01h
The initial frmness due to covering by
shorts Pit traders were generally bearish the
liberal receipts in the. Northwest apparently
being held to outweigh small advances at Liv-
erpool Furthermore fresh snow had fallen
throughout the West and Southwest. The
July option was especially subject to selling,
pressure. In consequence the price for the
July delivery dropped to 81 OoA. A fairly ac-
tive demand for May developed later from
commission houses May soon rallied to
81 1915 In sympathy July advanced 81 Ola
al OH. Bullishness was dampened, how
ever. by adyices from the Northwest Prices
soon sagged of again on renewed selling and
the market closed barely steady with Nav at
81 16as. Final quotations on July were at
81 0O%
A revival of interest was witnessed in the
corn market, trading being quite active Nav
closed at the top price, 45s4c
Strength Of corn caused firmness in the oat
market. May closed at 3o1zc.
Provisions were firm a moderate demand
from commission houses. At the close Nav
pork was up 719c; lard was up sc, and ribs
5dI 15c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

The recent heavy arrivals Of Potatoes from
the north proved excessive and the market was
tor-heavy and very weak in tone yesterday.
Low-grade Burbanks abundant and cheap,
to the detrinent of fancy stock. and dealers
are taking just about enough OF the latter
to meet ordinary routine requirements. Onions.
too are weaker with supplies plentiful and
the demand of a hand-to-mouth character. A
carload OF Sweet Potatoes was marketed and
the best lots brought slight advance.
There were increased receipts of Tomatoes
and Summer Squash from the south and prices
of both ranged lower Offerings Of Peas were
mostly poor, and. although receipts were light,
prices were weaker. The other vegetables
were firm at previously quoted rates. As
