 Father Duncan, arrived up on the Farallon, Wednesday night, and proceeded with out unnecessary delay to the one loved spot of all the earth to him-Meltlakahtla, where he was undoubtedly welcomed with loud acclaim by his people, from whom he had been absent for longer period tflan at any time past.
 Meet Here. The Pac fife Coast Co.'S steamers seem to be making Ketchi- kan sort of halfway meeting point when they can. The Cottage City, south bound, and the Ramona going north, very nearly made it about the dividing hour between Tuesday and Wednesday last, the first named arriving about F, mi dnight, and the latter half an hour later.
 The Fraternal Order of Eagles is growing rapidly in membership-more rapidly perhaps than other fraternal societies, if only because of the reason that the ranks of the others, especially the Redmen, have been for sometime past full to repletion. Ha If a dozen or more fedglings, whose initiation has been delayed because of the want of light in the hall, will be taught how to use their wings to- night and do other things becoming full grown Eagle.
 Needed Improvement. The Red men have taken down the old stair way to their hall and put in new one, besides adding an entrance porch with glass doors. If thy will now devise and put in a folding partition so that the large hall can be cut in

There are now from fifteen to twent thousand tons of ore broken and ready for shipment, but it is possible that it may not be- shipped for some time owing to pros pective complications between the owners and the lessee by whom the mine is being operated.

Bio Rice Combine.

New Orleans, La: There were SerI-
Ous rumors about the Board Of Trade
Monday that the rice miller5 OF ms
city had entered intO big combine
to control the price of rough rice and

quickly denied by the millers. The ru'
mors were so persistent that many OF
the operators placed more or less
crcdencp in it and advised their
agents in Southwest Louisiana and III
Texas of the current reports. Several
millers were interviewed, but all de-
MED most strenuously the existence or
any combine. One admitted, however
that the miIlers come TO their senses
and were resolved not to 20 in Tor any
extrayagant competition.
