BONA EIDE CITIZENSHIP AT
 DI COUNT

Speaker CannOn's press agents an- nounce that his plan to handle Alaskan legislation through committees of the 1sua.e and house of representatives contemplates giving hearings to Alas kans upon matters which will come te- fore congress for Legislation. That means, Of course, the exaltatiOu of the lobbyist. Those interests which are able to maintain agents at the national capital and those men who simply ,pend their summer vacations iu Alaska will have more influence h Alaskan matters than the people who live in the district and bear the burden of govern ment here. It will be impossible for those citizens of Alaska who reside in the district, who are doing.the actual work o9 developing it, to appear before the committees Of congress holding sessions from 1000 to 5000 miles away. They are too busy for that and majority oi them could not afford it.
 The speaker proposes to magnify the importance of the schooner and politlc- ian and to minimize that of the plain citizen and actual worker. He will dlS' count bona fde citizenship.

A Fairbanks dispatch of recent date says:
 "While it is still somewhat early to talk about next iyear's output for the Panama, the assertion that it will be double that of this year, and more like ly treble. At the very lowest estimate it means SIP, ,OOO for next season."
 It is contended this large increase will be brought about by the more thorough development of Cleary and Fairbanks creeks and by addition of Esther and Dome creeks to the great producers. It is thought other creeks will also do better.

PACKERS MUST STAND TRIAL
indictments Alleging Conspiracy VIII
Hold Them in Federal Court
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Federal Judge j. Otis
Humphrey today gave divided decision on
the demurrer of the meat packers charged
with illegal conspiracy. He overruled the
portion of the demurrer in which the pack
ers attacked the odd-numbered counts
charging conspiracy in restraint of trade.
The demurrer to the even-numbered counts
charging monopoly was sustained
Following the decision counsel for the
packers asked leave to extend his de
murrer TO the third count of the indict-
ment, to the first count of which he pre-
viously announced he would enter a plea
of not guilty. The court allowed this and
then overruled the demurrer to the first
count. This evenly divided the ndict-
ment, five counts. one, three. five, seven
and nine being sustained. and two, four,
six eight and ten being declared INSULT
cient. Judge Humphrey gave the defend
ants until Monday next to enter special
pleas in the case. The court announced
to defending counsel that when they finally
plead guilty or not guilty for their clinets
the defendants need not necessarily appear
in person.
United States District Attorney Morrison
said that the elimination of the monopoly
counts from the indictment will not affect
the prosecution. as the charge of monopoly
is also made in the conspiracy counts.
