 Chas. E. Ingersoll, general counse for the Reynolds interests at Valdez, arrived down on the Humboldt this morning, having business here to round up prior to making permanent change of residence to Valdez. The steamer Wellington reported at the custom house here this morning, and proceeded on her way to Skagway with cargo of coal, lingering hardly long enough to enable her skipper to shake hands with and say "howdv" to his old tillicums here.
 (From Mondays Daily)
 The Cottage City arrived up early this morning, bringing about forty tons of general merchandise, and J. Goding, T. Wilson and H. J. Sprague as passengers.
 The Ketchikan passengers arriving by the steamship Dolphin Sunday morning were: c. H. Blochberger, Marion Edwards, Mir. and Mrs. E. F. Pollard, W. E. Newton, Dr. w. K. Wilson, Fannie Karasek, Mrs. J. Thompson, Capt. J. J. Doyle, E. W. Eldrich, and E. R. Novak.
 The survey ship Explorer came in last night, to enable her officers to ap- pear before the grand jury in case pending before that body affecting a couple of men she brought here in irons month or so ago, and who will be remembered as having been carted to jail because of their refusal to walk. The case is likely to prove a rather interesting one.
 Latest arrivals at the hotels are Revilla-Wm. Johnson and wife, Nobles, B. C.; Mrs. Ella Johnson, Wrangell; A. J. Sprague, Leadville, Col. Neil Ward, Vim. L. Rapp, Nick Bass, Juneau; Ernest Vandebold, Jas J. Doyle. Bill Conwell, O. Nelson and J. Goding. Stedman-Wm. Newton, Ed. Novak, E. M. Aldrich, E. H. Blochberger, Seattle; w. E. Taylor, Kasaan; Marion Edwards, and w. K. Wilson.
 Ira H. King, left for his new field of duty as agent for the Alaska Steam ship company at Haines, on the Dol phin, Sunday morning, accompanied by Mrs. King and little daughter. That the people of Ketchikan are sorry to lose them would be mild statement of the regret expressed on all sides. Especially will Mrs. King be missed from the society and church circles in which she was wont to ren- der the most accpetable service, par. ticularly in the performance of kindly and charitable offices.
 The Kayak and Arctic, which started to tow the Star of England out to sea from Loring, last Saturday, encount- cred sea so heavy, after rounding the north end of Gravina island into Clarence strait, that they were oblig- ed to turn back and anchor their tow in Vallenar bay, where they left her until such time as the weather should moderate sufficiently to justify anoth- CT effort being made.
 Among the jurors in attendance at court is that staid and sober standby of Skagway and earnest believer in the ultimate greatness of that town, Phil Abrahams. Than Mir. Abrahams no man has done more or accomplish ed more in keeping alive the progress sive spirit tf the deni,ens of town which has thus far shown itself invul- nerable to vicessitudes under whit those of almost any other place would have succumbed in despair. One such man constitutes in himself host to the town in which he lives.

BUSY TIMES
At CANNERY

PAYETTE, Aug. 26.-There is some
thing of lull at the Payette cannery
just now. says the Independent, owing
to the fact that there is nothing to
can until the crop of pears is ready,
which will be in about 10 days, but in
the meantime a force of men Is kept
busy shipping out products already on
hand. Three cars of pease are being
sent out this week, two to Spokane
and one to Portland. and Manager
Patch announces that by the time the
pears are ready about 5000 cases of
the 10000 cases of peas packed will
have been placed on the market.
The pears first to be handled will be
Bartletts. and after the cannery Is
through with them 1t will be kept busy
with other fruits for some time. A
third crop of pease has been planted.
this season being the first one that
this has been done. and 1t is expected
that this crop will be ready for can
ming by the latter part of September.
The third crop is not expected to be
large, of course, but as the peas are
handled more easily even than alfalfa,
it does not take much Of crop to in
sure a fair return for the expense of
growing them. Some of the farmers
netted over $50 an acre on their first
crops.

STANDARD OIL
LOSE FRANCHISE

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA confer
Bonaparte, Frank J. Kellogg of st.
Paul and Charles B. Morrison of Chi
cago, the latter being special attor-
neys for the government, in which
suits for the Standard Oil company
were considered has caused considera-
BILE comment and aroused the belief
that the department of justice will
proceed at once in the effort to break
up the oil monopoly by the cancella-
ton of its franchise.
Attorney General Bonaparte had
lengthy conference some days ago with
Mr.. Morrison, in which the subject
was considered in all it's phases.
1t is also intimated that the attor-
ney general is making preparations to
prosecute individuals of the Standard
Oil company under the provisions of
the Sherman law, and that the action
will be pressed without delay and with
the greatest vigor.
When officials of the department of
Justice were questioned on \he subject
they refused to discuss the matter.
Neither Mr.. Kellogg nor Mr.. Morrison
would say what was decided upon at
today's conference.
Mr.. Morrison has been here since
Monday, having been called to Wash
ington in the first instance for fnfor-
nation in regard to the Chicago and
Alton Immunity matter; but it Is the
first time Mr.. Kellogg has been in the
city for a long time. Their presence
at the department together occasioned
reports to the effect that Mr.. Bona
parte was now considering the bring
| ing Of criminal proceedings against In
dividuals of the Standard.
| It is not thought that John d. Rock
efelIer himself stands in any great
danger of prosecution, as 1T is admit
ted that the government would hardly
be able to connect him with the af-
fairs of the company to such an extent
as to warrant the bringing of crimi-
nal proceedings. If it can be shown
however, that H. H. Rogers, John d
Archbold, or any one else who partici-
pated actively in the management OF
the company's business, has been en-
gagged in maintaining a monopoly
harmful to the public, there appears
to be no question that the courts will
be asked to act, aside from any civil
suits that may be pending.

MAKING WAR
ON FRUIT PESTS

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 26.--Fruit
Inspector c. L. whitney is in receipt
Of letter from Professor A. L. Me-
lander of the Washington State Col
lege at Pullman, says the Union, noti-
flying him that Mr.. Melander and Mr..
Trumble would be in Walla Walla
about August 26, to remain two days
for the fourth and final spraying Of
trees In orchards where experiments
have been under way since early
spring.
Professor Melander and Professor
Trumble are now in the Wenatchee
country. where similar experiments to
those conducted here are being given.
Fruit men of this section have taken
much interest in the work of the ex-
perts and the progress of the different
sprayings, together with the effect
upon the trees and the fruit, have
been watched with keen interest.
The spraying operations have been
carried on in several orchards near
the city where the Goblin moth and
other fruit pests had worked the great
est havoc and where the trees and
fruit were In greatest danger of being
destroyed. The three sprayings al
ready given the trees have made a
wonderful change in the appearance of
the orchards. and the last one, to be
given this week, is expected to thor
oughly do away with fruit pests in
these orchards.
The experiments were given mainly
for the purpose of showing fruit grow
ers the benefits resulting from such
course In order that spraying may be-
come general in Walla Walla valley
orchards and, the quality Of the fruit
raised again to the old-time standard.

MAKE MONEY
WHILE THEY WAIT

MOSCOW, Aug. 26.-The board of
regents of the University of Idaho, at
their session Saturday morning let the
contract for the construction of the
central section of the new admins
tration building to A. D. Whiteway of
Boise for the sum of s162,S17.
This is $2s,4S3 below Mr.. Whiteways
first bid on the same work, and $685.
O8S below the lowest bid that of
the Campbell Building company of Salt
Lake, for the same wark. The sue
cessful contractor was given 10 days
in which to file the required bond and
80 days to begin the work.
This is considered very fortunate
outcome, says the Journal, of
what apparently was a very tam
gled mess. The bids first submit
ted were so excessively high that the
board was compelled tc reject them
all. There were certain Incidents con-
nected with the bids that indicated to
the board probable combination
lost in rejecting all bids and notifying
the contractors that bids would be
received anew. and that any and all
who cared to would be allowed to sub
init tenders. Apparently the contrac-
tors saw that the board was not dis
posed to be buncoed, hence new ten
ders were made and submitted. These
were opened late yesterday afternoon,
and the award was made this morning
1--WE had hoped to include In this
building contract the construction of
the south wing" said Regent Lewis
| this afternoon, "but the advance in the
cost of labor and material has made
this impracticable with the funds
available, hence we were compelled to
go ahead with the resources at our
command and do the best we could,
relying upon the next legislature to ap-
propriate whatever Is needed to COM
plete the building as originally
planned. The central portion, which is
covered by Mr.. Whiteway's bid, will
be 200 feet long by 20 feet wide, and
when completed will afford great re-
lief to the congested condition under
which the faculty and students have
been suffering since the old admins
tration building was burned"

New WAY OF Telephoninu.

The new way Of using the telephone,
supposed to have been hit upon by one
OF the many health cranks who are
concerned with keeping clear Of
germs, which is to press the receiver
against the chest, instead OF holding
it close to the mouth and talking in the
usual way, the voice, it is claimed, be-
ing carried perfectly, is now quite pop
ualr in Philadelphia. The less clothing
there is between the chest and the re-
ceicer the better, but if the pressure be
firm tho usual amount Of wearing ap-
parel, it is declared, does not inter

this phenomeon is that the sounds

Shot a Black Wild Goose.

G.. II. Driggers has killed a black
wild goose, the only one ever seen in
this part of the country and the only
one ever killed on the river, so far
as known.
Thousands of the wild fowl roost
on the Hover islands here and feed on
the wheat fields of the Horse Heaven
hills. The big honkers make two trips
daily to their feeding grounds, passing
over this village early in the morning
and again late in the afternoon. When
the wind blows strong the geese are
obliged to fly low in order to get over
the high SUBMITS of the hills just back
of the town. The hunters hide them
selves in the sagebrush along the hill
sides and pick their game as it flies
within range.
While Mr.. Driggers was hunting this
morning he saw the black bird, which
he thought was a bald eagle, since
eagles frequently follow the geese IN
their flight and capture as many as
they can for food. Mr.. Driggers shot
the black bird and killed it. The bird
is coal black. but in every other re-
spect is exactly like the ordinary wild
goose that winters at this point

China has been cultivated with keen
appreciation of the fact that without

Japan has undertaken the Japan
