A libel suit has been filed in the dis trict court by the United States against the Japanese schooner Raise Maru.

 Delegate Wickersham has introduced in congress a bill creating a legislative assem ply for Alaska, consisting of an upper and lower house. The upper house will consist of two senators from each judicial district and the lower house will be made up of four repre- sentatives from each district. The pro- posed legislature will meet biennially and the sessions are limited to 60 days.
 The announcement made seml-of- ficially during the winter of a general reduction in freight rates by the N. A. T. & T. Go. and the Shubach & Hamil. ton Co. has been confirmed, and the new schedule of rates given to the pub lie, says the Fairbanks Times. The re- duction is sweeping in it's scope, cover ing about everything that is shipped into this country. The flat rate of S73 per ton, which prevailed last season, has been cut to $50, reduction of over 30 per cent.
 Bear hunting is the theme of general conversation in this part of Alaska at present. Men who were never known to do a days work now crawl out at 5 a. m., row a boat seven miles, carry gun for hours through tangled swamps and over huge rocks and fallen trees, drill back to the camp at night tired, but not disheartened. You can't dis courage bear hunter. He will go out in the wet and hustle more wood for the campfire in an hour than he has cut for the kitchen range in lifetime. It is the call of the wild that stirs him up. It is dead easy to shoot bear. The number that have been shot around Ketchikan would fill ship if so many of them had not sneaked away to die. These Alaska bears have no respect for a hunters reputation. Fill them full of lead, hit lem in the vermiform appendix, the cerebellum, the sternum, the crazybone or the crupper, and it's all the same; they simply won't die where the goods can be delivered. They spill blood all over mountainside, but when you bring your friends to the spot the rains have even washed that away. Every Tom, Dick and Harry around here can take you to the exact place where he shot the wishbone out of 700 pound bear and he will even subpoena a rotten log and a bunch of half-eaten skunk cab- bage as a witness for the prosecution. One man (we know him welD shot a bear last Saturday, in vital spot, and tried to ring in six months old skin to prove it. This stiff-necked genera tion wouldn't believe us.-Ketchikan Miner.

The cut in freight rates to Nome and St. Michael was started by the Alaska Steamship Go. John H. Bunch, freight and passenger agent for the company, is quoted as having said: "It is our ex-
 pectation that these law rates will help
 business. Last year many people who
 went in came back at an early date, aud
 many seemed to have lost confidence in Nome. We feel that there is still a large amount of business in that coun- try, and it is for the purpose of stimu- latIng business that we have decided to cut. .4 flat rate will be made to everybody. The low rates are an eXper- iment, and time only will tell whether they will revive the Nome trade"
 The interests of the Havemeyer es- tate and Norman Schultz in the Bo- nanza mines, which are said to be the richest in the world, have been pur- chased by the Guggenheim Morgan syndicate, which claims to be able to produce metal at less than six cents a pound. These mines are officially known as the Kennicott group and are located l80 miles northeast of Valdez. According to experts there is more than S2OO00,O00 iu ore in sight, with large deposits which have not been blocked out and which are reported to be of equal value in metal. A railroad and five steamships are in course of con- struction with Valdez as the terminus. The completion of these Improvements will enable the Guggenheim Morgan syndicate to market their product at low cost and make their Alaska ven- ture one of the most formidable factors in the war which it is waging against the Standard Oil Syndicate, which con- trols the Amalgamated and which has entered into competition with the Gug- genheims in the smelting industry it's recent incorporation of the International Smelling and Refining Great West.
 A delicious smoked product, known locally as "beleke," is put up at Kodiak, red and coho salmon being utilized. In this only the backs of the fish are used, the belly part being cut out and salted separately. The backs are divided into three grades according to size, viz: "small," medium" and "large." They are first put into the brine, thelarge being put in first, fol- lowed by the medium and small at in- tervals of one hour each, this being done so that all will be cured at about the same time. the large fish requiring longer time than the smaller. The red salmon backs are allowed to re- main in the brine about sixteen hours, but as the coho backs are larger they are kept in the brine from nineteen to twenty hours. After being thoroughly salted the backs are removed from the brine and rinsed in fresh water, then hung in the sun for about A hours to dry and allow thin skin to form on the outside. They are then hung up in the smokehouse in the presence of a little fire of cottonwood or alder. On dry days the gable windows are thrown open and the wind allowed to pass through while the smoking is going on. The smoking must be done slowly, 8 couple of weeks being devoted to it. There is a good demand for this pro- duct locally, and the fish sell for from fifteen to twenty cents per pair.-Sew- ard Gateway.
