Charts Are Needed.

 dez on November 155:h bound for Unalaska with the mail. During the trip we had gale after gale with snow storms sandwichcd be- tween. Several times I looked on the chart for some safe place to crawl into where shelter could be had for night or more, but no, 1t looked too risky as 1 did not have personal knowledge and no harbor charts are to be had so We had to stay out in the open and be buf- fitsd about and iced up and take chances of being blewed to sea, just because the government wont survey the harbors.
 Thero are many fine harbors that arc not on our charts ct all and unless we have personal know ledge of them we have to go by as a master of 2 vessel has not the time to survey them himself, as much as he would like to.
 Let me give an instance, 1 left Kodiak at 3 a. m. on bright clear starlight night and when out 35 miles VIC met heavy gale and sea 90 had to turn back to Kodiak as the vessel was icing up go fast that it was dangerous and when about half way back we run into a heavy snow storm, there were strong currents and a large sea running and it was no easy mat ter to find the way among the rocks and reefs into Kodiak harbor but l made it just as darkness fell for . long night of 16 hours. The next day I met an old sea otter hunter who told me that there was a good halbor not five miles from where I turned around but there was no sign of harbor on the chart.
 There is not Pilot in the busi- ness that is acquainted with tho whole coast. Now why not have the harbors surveyed and harbor charts made to help the ones that have to navigate on this rough coast, then after the harbors are surveyed, finish up ths coast.
 This article is not knocking against the Coast and Geodetic Survey who are doing splendid work but is merely suggestion as Co the needs of this coast

STOCK GROWERS FORM
COOPERATIVE COMPA

J. H. Gwinn, formerly resident
of Caldwell, who is brother of
Monte B. Gwinn, arrived in the (
city yesterday. He is secretary of
the National Livestock association
and is now on a tour in the inter-
est of the Cooperative Livestock
Commission company.
This company was organized in
Denver in May last. 1t has cap
ital stock of 500, 1000, the shares
having a par value of $40 each.
Its organization was under the aus
pices of the executive committees
of the National Livestock associa-
ton, the National Woolgrowers
association, and the Corn Belt Meat
Producers association. This grew
out of the action of the National Ex-
change Commission Men making an
advance of So car in commissions
for handling stock. The commits
sion men had just taken off all So
licitors and abolished free kilograms,
/ free meals and other concessions to
cattlemen. This had saved them
about 81 a car, and right on top
of that it advanced the rate from
$40 to $12 car.
The stock of the new company is
to be distributed widely among
stockmen, no person being permit
ted to own more than so shares.
This is to create general interest
in is work. The stockholders are
guaranteed per cent dividends.
Ali shippers, however, can send in
their stock and the commission will
be the same to all-$10 a car.
If, at the end of the year, it be
; found that a surplus has been earn
ed, it will be RENTED 70 the ship
, pers-stockhoiders and non-stock-
!; holders alike. The only advantage
to the stakeholder will be the 8 per
, cent dividend.
, It is the intention to open offices
: in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha,
5 ST. Joe, Fort Worth, st. Louis and
: Denver. The offices at Chicago
Y and Kansas City will be opened a
= once, and those at ST. Joe and Oma
/ ha will be ready for business yer,
0 soon afterward. Statesman.

PAY YOUR GAR FARE
AND LOOK PLEASANT

Free transportation, by virtue of
Gently passed by congress, is practi-
cally a thing of the past. The
Idaho railroads, carrying out the
spirit of the law, have decided to
deny all requests for free transport
tation. Newspapers that have adj
vertising contracts will be given
transportation as usual, but even a
newspaper man who does not work
on newspaper which has such
a contract cannot secure a free
pass from one town to another.
The restrictions of the law are
being enforced on the Idaho roads
even as against employees. An Ore
gon Short Line employee will not be
able to travel mile on Rio Grande
transportation, though he may have
as much free transportation as his
own line wishes to give him. The
I law is being enofrced particularly
against politicians and office hold
ers. ANIMALS have not been called
in because the law does not 60 into
effect until January /, 1907, but a
large number of Idaho people who
now carry ANIMALS will have them
cut off next New Years day. -Poca-

relative to free transportation;

Provided that this provision
shall not be construed to prohibit
the interchange of passes for the

lies; nor to prohibit any common
carrier from carrying passengers
free with the object of providing re-
lief in cases of general Eepidemic,
pestilence or other ca1amitous visi-
tation. Amy common carrier vio-
lating this provision shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and for each offense, upon con-
viction, shall pay to the United
States penalty of not less than
500 or more than $4,000, and
any person, other than the persons
excepted in this provision, who
uses any such interstate free

tation, shall be subject to a like
