patinE Must Guarantee at Least
Two nj the
Meetings.

Western railroads have agreed upon a
series Of fall merchants meetings for half
a dozen different dates, when a rate Of a
fare and one-half oil the certificate plan
will be made. These rates are to be made
TO Omaha, Chicago, ST. Louis and Kansas

elusive, fourth meeting, September 1870
inclusive; return dates, August 3-19,

Der 16, September 1890.
The merchants associations OF the
various cities have to agree TO pay the
difference between the fare and one-half
and the full fare provided, 200 certificates
are not presented at each meeting. Chit
cago, st. Louis. Omaha. Kansas City, st.
Joseph and New York have already made
application to be permitted to hold these
meetings.
The merchants of the various cities are
quite elated over this concession on the
part OF the railroads. A year ago 1t was
planned to have similar reduced rates for
the merchants fall meetings, but when
the 2-cent passenger bill became a law
the railroads called off all arrangement
Tor the fall meetings and buyers from the
smaller towns had to pay full fare or rely
upon the travelling men to get their goods.

Pacific and better facilities provided than
ever before.
Plans for That Approach.
The plans for the approach to the Tenth
street viaduct are still under discussion
and the railroads and the creamery men
have failed to reach an agreement as yet,
but hope to in a few days. To provide tenn
porary relief for the creamery men who
have to move big loads of cream UP the
approach the Union Pacific has opened
a roadway under the Tenth street viaduct
so that wagons may get out that way with
out having to climb onto the vladuct. This
exit Is for the exclusive use Of the cream
cry teams as it is dangerous, the tracks on
Leavenworth street being crossed on the
grade level. For some time the m
have kept a snake" team at the approach
to help lift the heavy loads up the hill.

Men Are Needed

"We now need men to work the claims, men to scratch over the entire country and locate for themselves; men who will do their share in upbuilding the country. It is one of the richest mining districts ever discovered, and believe some day the developments will be such that you will see daily steamship service between Seattle and Nome during the open season.
 "The country is good for the next fifty years at a conservative estimate, ard the quartz developments may ex- tend it far beyond that period. The discoveries already include copper de- poSitS running from 10 to b per cent. tin, antimony, bismuth and little silver. The development of these properties will make prominent the Seward Peninsula district for many years to come. HI. c. Davis in Seattle Times.

The Salmon Catch

Preparations for the salmon catch are now in full progress at the came ries on Kodiak island, Chignik and on Bristol bay. At present tin cans are being manufactured at the rate of sev- enty-five per minute for each machine, and each machine will be running day and night, at least twenty hours to the day, for thirty days. There are some thing like twenty-two canneries on Bristol bay alone, each operating from one to several machines.
 Fourteen ships from 1000 tons up lie anchored in the Nushagak river having brought thousands of men and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tin, provisions and other supplies. These ships will lie at anchor where they are until the millions of cans are filled. By the last of August the fish will be packed and all the work done, the ships loaded and gone, and once more peace and bad smell will settle down over the Nushagak.

Prospect in Nome Region

Declaring that Seward Peninsula will some day be one of the richest quartz mining districts in the world, President II. c. Davis, of the North western Development Company, who is also interested in the Seward Penin- sula railroad and the John J. Sesnon Company of Nome and Seattle, stated that the present season in the Nome district promises to be one of the best in it's history, and with the heavy de- mand for labor satisfied there, the the prospects for the entire section are the brightest. He asserts that there will be employment for 5000 men in the Nome mining camps alone this summer. The cleanup has start ed and the indications are that about $4, ,O00,000 will be taken from the Nome district this spring. These conditions point to stampede of laboring men from this country into the Seward Pe- ninsula this summer, equalizing the labor situation by taking the excess men from Seattle to Nome, where there will be work for all at $5 day and board.-Seattle Times.

Japanese Iron workers

The Japanese were acquainted with iron from very early times. A sword that was used by one of the ancestors of the present emperor about 500 B. c. is still in existence. Later, when the great civil war broke out in the sixth century, swordsmiths and armorsmiths came to occupy prominent place.
 From this time on down to about 300 years ago no noticeable progress had been made. At the beginning of the seventeenth century all branches of industry began to prosper. The de- mand for iron implements increased and the scarcity of iron supply began to be felt.-Engineering Magazine.

Over 1000 Gone North

Alaska travel has been unusually heavy this spring. Not so much so far in the way of operators or capitalists or tourists, who are making the rounds, but in men who have gone north to delve for gold. Up to the present time 4,263 passengers have sailed from this part for the north since January l.
 Judging from the consignments that have been. shipped north this spring, the country is in a prosperous condi- tion, for market luXuries have been sent in great quantities.
 Before the middle of this month the passengers going north for the season of 1908 will have been doubled. The prediction is also made by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company that it's ex- cursion season, notwithstanding the hard times, will be big success, es- pecially so to Muir Glacier and other Southeastern Alaska pointS.-P.-I.

A Live Trading Company

Captain A. Woodside, president of the Pacific States Trading Company of San Francisco, has just completed a tour of the company's cod fishing sta tions along the Alaska coast and among the Shumagin islands in the vicinity of Sand Point.
 The company will rapidly extend their operations. Capt. James Osmond, an old timer and very capable man, has been engaged to act as the com pany's agent in Alaska. Although the company has lost two fine schoon- CTS within the past few months in these waters. Capt. Woodside is very enthusiastic over the field, and pro- poses that his company shall identify itself in the future more closely with the territory.

Quartz Follows Placer Mining

Speaking of the quartz prospects of Seward Peninsula, II. C. Davis said:
 "The history of the richest mining sections has shown that where there are big placer deposits they are suc- ceeded by quartz properties. The chief mining district, in Montana and Ne vada followed placer camps. Already there have been started some develop mentS of the quartz properties in the peninsula, but it takes capital and modern methods as we'll as plenty of labor to develop these claims and make them pay, and it will probably be few years before this phase of the Seward Peninsula's richness is gener- ally recognized.-Seattle Times.

Birthplace of the Icebergs

We might call Greenland the worlds ice box. If you glance at the map you will see that the State of New York, large as it seems to us, is not over one- twentieth of the size of Greenland, for New York contains only 47,00O square miles.
 Then think that the glaciers are steadily moving away from the center of Greenland, really being crowded off the land, and it will not seem so strange that here is the birthplace of nearly all of the icebergs that are so feared by the mariner.-St. Nicholas.

Operations In POrcupine

HaineS-Active operations have al- ready been commenced in the Porcu- pine district back of this town, several score of men having gone to the camps for the season. A large force of men is at work on the new stretch of road, which will be ready for travel in the next few weeks. All indications point to boom of no small magnitude for Haines this season, and the faith of the citizens has been manifested in steps to incorporate the town.

Court of Appeals Hands Down
a Number of Important
Decisions.

The Court of Appeals met last
week and handed down a number
of opinions covering all of the
cases. not heretofore disposed of,
which had been argued before it
during the April term of the
court.
Judge Worthington handed ia
five opinions on subjects of i'm
portauce and was commended for
the care with which they had
been prepared.
One most interesting case 10
lating to the copstitutionality of
"a statute passed by the General
Assembly in 1904. limiting the
height of the buildings IN the
neighborhood of Washington
Monument in Baltimore to sew
enty feet above the base line OF
that monument. The owner of a
large apartment house located
within the prohibited territory
wanted to raise his building one
story higher, which would make
l. above twenty feet.
The owner contended that the
law was unconstitutional because
its object was to preserve the ar
chitectural symmetry of Mt. Yer
non PlaceAand cited authorities
to show that the height of the
buildings could not be limited for
purely aesthetical purposes.
The court agreed to this prop
osition, in part, but upheld the
law on the ground that its object
was to prevent the destruction
of Peabody Institute, Mount
Vernon Church, Washi G ton
Monument and other buildings
and monuments in the neigh Dor
hood. by fire which is much more
difficult to contend with in very
tall buildings.
We are glad to note that Judge
Worthington is discharging the
duties of his office with great
acceptability.
