To Flnht Steamship Combine

The Juneau papers announce that a movement is on foot to petition Judge Gunnison to call grand jury to inves- tigate an alleged combine in violation of the Sherman law by the Pacific Coast and Alaska Steamship compa- nies. The petitioners allege that the combine has agreed upon a schedule of rates and wharf charges that is an open violation of the Sherman law and ruinouS to the trade of this district. It is further alleged that there is dis crimination on the part of the combine in favor of large shippers, one of which will have such an apparent ad- vantage as to ruin many of the mer- chants.

BROTHERHOOD CAMP
 HAS lO3 MEMBERS
Local Organization Makes Great Start and Plans to Erect
 Building At Once

Seward camp, No. 2l, of the Arctic Brotherhood numbered l03 members Thursday night, and this total will be increased considerably at the next meeting, which will be held this evening. Nearly eighty ChechacoeS were led over the trail Thursday night at the big meeting in Moore's hail, and are now classcd as sourdonghS.
 The session was a long one as it was big job to round upalI the mavericks and a great deal of special business was transacted. including the installa- ton of officers. It was decided to meet regularly every Saturday even ing. as that is Arctic Brotherhood night all over the Northwest.
 The camp will probably purchase a lot and erect building of it's own without delay, as the membership fees from the unexpectedly large number of accessious make that course easily possible. It was agreed Thursday that the camp could profit by the purchase of land as the certainty of rapid growth in the town insures steady advance in the value of all realty. The board of trustees reported that they already held an option on a Fourth avenue lot.
 It was decided to take advantage of the clause of the Brotherhood conoJitu- ton which permits camp to grant life memberships upon payment of q large fee. As soon as the motion car ried Dr. Burns announced that he would take the first life membership, and he was quickly followed by Martin Welch, II. H. Hildreth and II. r. Vibrant. Others expect to take out fife memberships within a few days, and the fees will add comfortably to the camp fund.

JUDGE MORfORD RETURNS
Gives Graphic Account of Seattle
 Convention Incidents

Judge S O. Morford came in on the santa Clara after an absence of more than two months He visited his par ents in Ohio and a brother in Buffalo, after the adjournment of the Seattle convention in November. He made a short stay at his old home, North Yakima.
 Judge Morford gives an interesting and in many ways amusing account oi the Alaska convention. He says the schemes which lot of fellows tried to work through were worthy of the average state legislature, but he be- lieves that on the whole the conven- ton did some good. He stands with those who believe that all future Alaska conventions should be held on Alaska soil, and as he is on the perma- nent committee which will call the next convention will have potent voice in support of that view. Judge Morford was chairman of the creden- tials committee in the Seattle conyen- tion, which had warm time in dealing with the queer assortment of proxies.

FIGURES ON ALASKA TRADE
Portland Journal Learns That
 Something is Going on Here

The Portland Journal devotes a long article Co the discussion of the develop ment of Alaska and urges the mer- chants of that city to reach out for Alaska trade. After describing the great increase in gold production the Journal sayS:
 But gold, let us bear in mind, Is only one of AlaSka'S products. In the production of fish, fur and timber it has been making steady advance; and nthese later years comes the discovery of oil and coal deposits that are said to equal in richness anything to be found on the American continent. The coal fields are not fairly in the way of de- yelopmeut as yet. There is no meas uring their ultimate richness, nor can there be adequate appreciation of their value to the industries of Oregon.
 "As the case now stands, Alaska will show for this year total produc- tion, gold included, of close to S4O,OOO,- OOO All of this great volume of wealth finds it's way to the Pacific Coast ports for distribution. From these same ports there is also shipped the material that serves the Alaska industry which this wealth represents. These are facts the more worthy of our consideration in view of the efforts now being made in this city to secure a fair share of the Alaska trade"

NATIVE GETS THREE MONTHS
Ivan Salava Pleads Guilty 10
 Charge of Unlawful Hunting

Ivan Salava, the half-breed who was brought over from Kenai to answerthe charge of killing moose uulawfully pleaded guilty yesterday and was sent enced by U. $. Commissioner HiIdreth 10 serve three months in jail. He is in poor health and will receive medical attendance which will make the penalty benefit to him.
 The moose slaughter was perpetrated last June, when Salava killed three for the fun of seeing them drop, and made no use of them whatever. He is a harmless young man, and the killing seems to have been but an outburst of barbaric instinct, inherited from his ancestors of the Stone Age. It is said that the natives at times become seized with a sort of frenzy when they see d band of moose or sheep and they shoot as long as an animal is in sight.
 Salava's moose staying diversion was reported several mon ,hs ago and for a time Judge Hildreth intended to go to Kenai to try him, but was unable to get away for so long an absence, so the man was brought to Seward. It is re- gardcd as necessary to haul up anative OF two every year in order to restrain the children of nature by contempla- tion of horrible examples from killing game animals as they would gophers.

WEAVING Pigs,

One of the best ways of weaning
pigs is to place small trough Just
outside the pen when they are about
two weeks old, and in it put a small
quantity of skim-milk once a day.
1t is good idea to set the trough
down in the ground a little, so they
can easily get their heads into it..
They will soon find it, and when the
milk is poured in will come to it..
AS soon as they learn where it is
the milk should have a small guam
tity of corn-meal, bran and mid
dlings mixed with it. About the
fourth week the milk, corn-meal,
bran and middlings should be mixed
to a moderately thick slop Gradu-
ally increase the thickening until it
is more like a mush than a slop, and
feed twice day regularly, so they
will be on hand at feeding time.
Treated in this manner they will al
most wean themselves, especially IL
they have plenty of clover or grass.
The trough in which they are fed
must always be kept clean and sweet,
especially while the pigs are small.
Food that has soured is apt to cause
trouble with the bowels. Pigs that
are weaned in this way are not
checked in growth when the mother
is removed. II the milk supply is
limited, water may be added to it
to make the slop and mush. There
is nothing to be gained by cooking
food for pigs.-Fred Grundy, in
Farm and Fireside.
