.|NN0KO DISTRICT
 REPORT IS MADE
Government Bulletin Gives Statement Of Conditions
 In New Country

The United States Geological Sur vey Press Bulletin, in its issue of De- cember has the following to say concerning the Innoko district:
 ''The lnnokO district is more widely known and discussed than the Gold Hill or the Ruby creek district. Since the discovery of placer gold in paving quantities, in 1906, on some of the headwater tributaries of Innoko river. that part of Alaska has received more attention from prospectors looking for new fields than any other district in the Yukon Valley. Probably as many as 1000 men have visited the Innoko country and remained there for the whole or part of season. Many of these men have come from the older placer districts up the Yukon, cspcci- ally from Fairbanks; some have come from Nome, and q few from the smaller settlements on the lower Yu kOn.
 ''Ihe lnnoko, the lowest noteworthy tributary of the Yukon entering from the left, is about 800 miles long and has been the principal route to and from the diggings on its headwatcrs. During 1906 small stern-whecl steam boats ran up the river to Dichkalzat. about 250 miles from Anvik, on the Yukon. From Dichkakat it is 100 miles farther by the river to Ophir. the principal settlement at the dip- gings, and this distance is travelled in polling boats that will hold about one ton of freight. The most serious draw back to prospecting in the Innolo country is the difficulty and cost of getting supplies to q centrally located distributing point convenient to the creeks on which pay gravel has been discovered. So far most of the pro- visions have been shipped into the dis trlct rom Fairbanks, and by the time the freight is delivered at the town of Ophir the transportation cost has reached the enormous sum of $500 a ton.
 ''The lnnOko country has been staked in wholesale manner, about 1,2OO locations being on record. Of this number only about twenty-five claims were worked during the sum- mer of 1908, and practically all of these were on Canes, Little and Ophir creeks. About l5O persons are now Wintering in the lnnOko district. ."

R|OT BREAKS UP
 SOCIALIST MEETING
Brothers Pass Lie, Sister Kicks And Scratches, And
 Police Arrive

Seattle, Dec, 10--Blood was shed, heads were broken and for q few minutes riot reigned supreme last night at a meeting of the Socialists party of this city. Tn the midst of the uproar q special detail of police officers invaded the socialist temple and quiet was soon restored.
 The trouble started when Brother w. Parks and Brother James Nelson became involved in an argument. Brother Parks called Brother Nelson liar, and then Sister Parks joined forces with her husband and the vocal storm became fearsome. II resulted in a vote to expell from the organization Sister Parks and Brother Parks.
 The decision to expell carried with 1t physical ejectment and then the real trouble began. Brother Parks and Sister Parks objected, the one with fists and the other with finger nails and kicks. Sister Parks kicked, scratched and screamed, while Brother Parks struck and cursed, but both were on the sidewalk when the police arrived

SALMON PACKERS
 PAY REAL MONEY
A. P. Association Sends The Clerk Of Court Check For
 S8.843,58 As Tax

ElEht thousand eight hundred and forty-thrcc dollars and fifty eight cents, represented by certified check drawn on the bank account of the Alaska Packers Association yes tcrday came to Deputy Clerk Burton as payment of the Association's taxes on the salmon pack for 1908. Ac- cOmpanying the check came certifi- cates of salmon fry distribution cred iting the Association with S29, ,66S. 80, the combined amounts being in liqui- datiOn of the S3S,512.3S tax due the government according to the AssOcia tion's own bookkeeping.
 Ordinarily the receipt by deputy clerk of the amount due as a tax on any business or commodity is not more worthy of consideration than is any other affair in connection with the routine duties of the office, but in this ease, in view of past experience with the Alaska Packers Association, the voluntary action of the .Associa tion in rendering unto the govern mont that which is the governments has caused surprise. For the salmon pack of 1907 the Alaska Packers As sociatiOn gave to the deputy clerk in Valdez 32 cents in cash and S32, 2,272 in salmon fry certificates.
 In 1907 the Alaska Packers Associ- ation, according to it's own stat emcnt packed q little more than 500, ,OOO was 1 cents q case. The canncrs are allowed q rebate of 10 cents for each l,OOO fry liberated, and the officials of the government must accept as truthful document the canners' state mcnt of the pack and of the number of fry liberated. This year, accord ing to the statement filed by the can ncrs the pack is 939, ,172 cases, the tax on winch is $37 ,57S.SO and 9,335 bar rcls, the tax on which is $033 50, at 10 cents a barrel.
 The foregoing figures show that the difference in the tax is a little more than $5, ,OOO. The number of salmon fry liberated this year according to the returns made by the packers is in round numbers 74,O00, ,000. while last year the number was so, ,000, ,O0O, q difference of G,OOO, GOO fry represent ing q rebate of g., ,IO0. TO make up this falling off in the fry liberation and the increasing pack tax the Alas ka Packers Association sends it's check for S,SI3.5S
 Since the salmon packers operat- ing in Alaska induced congress to permit them to pay the tax on their pack by libcrating salmon fry, there has been much complaint that the government has been despoiIed. The Valdez grand jury of year ago severely criticised the rebate law, and the publicity given the subject by reason of the news and editorial stand taken by the Prospcctor caused q hue and cry that reverberated throughout Alaska and the echoes even caused certain stirring among the sOmulCnt officials of the depart mcnt of justice.
 The tax assessed against the salmon packers is supposed to create a fund to be devoted to the maintenance of roads, educational facilities and for the care of the insane in the territory.
