The Steamboat Rate War

There have been no new develop ments during the week in the rate war between the steamships and the promises are for a good stiff scrap. The Canadian Pacific has lined itself up with the Alaska Steamship Co. and the Pacific Coast Co.,, as against the Hum- boldt. During the interval the lat ter boat is saving nothing, but is quietly saving wood. Manager kalish, of the Humboldt Steam- ship Co.,, was passenger on his this week and reported to the Sen tinel man that the Humboldt would cut no rates, as he considered that those now effective were reasonable and fair. He stated that the en- zines of the Humboldt were not in very good condition, so that trip to the dry dock and general over hauling had been under consider ation for some time, and the pres ent attitude of the competing com peting companies would probably hasten that day.
 On the other hand the three competing boats have adopted a sweeping reduction along all lines, freight being cut to s4.oo per ton, while man can ride to Seattle for $500 or to ketchikan for ST. SO.

Jinks Takes A Bat!,

Capt. links, the wood man, chose last Sunday to take a bath, and had it not been for the quick action of his helpers he would be out of the wood business now. He was bringing in and securing some logs; and in some was he slipped of into deep water. He couldn't swim and was headed for the bot tom without delay when he was hauled out, wet and thoroughly scared. No can do, swim" was all he had to say about it, but he will be more careful in the future.

Jail To He Rebuilt

Unless somebody changes his mind, there is every probability that the log jail on the bill will be rebuilt at an early day, and brought more up to date. The present plans are to tear out everything but the old log walls and recon struct the whole thing, putting n a new floor, new partitions and a new roof. Steel cages are to be erected for the retention of prison CTS. The intention evidently is to preserve the old walls as a relic, as this building was one of the first to be built in Alaska after the American occupation. An appiic- ation is now in to the department to authorize the laying of wateI pipes into the different buildings of the government reserve. The old building between the jail and the beach will be torn down and the marshafs office will probably be remodeled.

Tie steamship Northland is be- ing held over in Seattle for time while she undergoes a sort of re- building which will add 200 tons to her carrying capacity. It is inten- ded to raise the bulwarks from the back statetooms to the forward end and thus convert her into double deck freighter.
 Part of the cargo for this trip has been loaded onto the. Alaskan and the overflow will be brought up on the Humboldt.

Spring Salmon Situation

Tn various places along this side of the Cleveland Peninsula, the spring salmon have appeared, and the indications are that the present season will be a good one. At Un- ion bay they are being taken in fair quantities, boats from ketchikan
 taking all offered, and the latest re- ports from Anita Bay are to the ef- feet that the fish are beginning to gather there. In the bay here the a few salmon are being caught,
 about enough to supply the local market. Thus far, the fish taken seem to be rather small in size, the largest to date being a AZ pounder.

John Thormodsater, of Peters burg, was a pleasant caller at the Sentinel office last night, spending a busy half-hour boosting his home town.

SOIL REGULATES LIGHTNING

Lightning acts according to the soil
and the rocks. On compact rocks it
often leaves a blackish incrustation. In
sand hills it produces fulburites. These
are nearly vertical channels, lined with
SILICA, and sometimes branched. Full
gurites are found in all countries, but
most abundantly in regions of fire.
quent thunder storms They are par
ticularly abundant In some districts of
the Pyrenees. 1t has been proved that
they are of electrical origin by the
production of artificial fulgurites by
the discharge of highly charged con-
densers of great capacity through
heaps of sand.
Artificial fulgurites may also be pro-
duced by accident. One of the wires of
a triphase electrical circuit In Cata-
lonia, Spain, broke a few miles from
its terminus, at Chrome. The accident
occurred at night, and terrified the
passengers of a diligence by flames
which appeared at many points of the
ground. The two parts of the broken
section of the wire had fallen in field
of lucerne, where each part lay In con-
tact with the ground over length of
about forty-flve PAGES. Throughout this
distance and to four inches on each
side of the wire the lucerne was killed.
Scattered along this furrow In the
vegetation were found many spongy
black vitreous objects. Some of these
objects ended in polished balls, and
nearly all were followed out length
wise and crumbled between the fingers.
They were found most abundantly near
the ends of the broken wire, where
some of the balls were two inches In
diameter A rude analysis of the soil
showed that 1t was composed chiefly
of sand, with little clay and lime
stone and traces of iron.-Chicago Tri-

SUNDAY MAGAZINE
BIRD LAWS NOT EFFECTIVE

The National Association Of Audu-
bon societies calls the existing laws
for the protection of insect and rodent
eating birds of New York state EN-
tirely valueless," and is drawing the
attention of CHANGERS to an opinion of
the attorney general who said recent
ly that the sale in this state of plu-
mage of birds taken outside lis limits
is not Illegal. In a circular issued to
the grangers, the association says
"On several occasions, this associa-
tion has endeavored to have milliners,
who were offering the plumage of wild
birds for sale convicted for a violation
of the wild bird law, but in every in
stance it has failed, for the reason that
the laws of the state of New York do
not prohibit the sale of the plumage
of wild birds taken without the state
after being brought into this state for
sale.
After a bird has been killed and its
plumage has been prepared for the mill
linery market, it is absolutely impos-
sible to determine whether the bird was
killed within or without the state, and,
therefore, all ATTEMPTS to enforce the
so-called plumaee law of this state
have failed. Not many years since,
thousands and thousands of the bene-
fetal wild birds of this state were
slaughtered for millinery ornaments,
ard should the same condition COM
mence again, there would be no way to
prevent 1t.
1.-THE same unfortunate weakness in
the New York law once applied to the
game birds. but 1t was corrected by
an amendment to the law providing
that whenever game BIRDS were killed
beyond the limits of the state of New
York and were brought into this state
for sale. the laws of the state imme1i-
ately applied to the said game birds.
The same amendment is needed for all
of the other BIRDS of the state of New
York, those that are so beneficial about
your farms, orchards and forests

Ball League A Good Thing.

Frank Cameron was in the city
last Friday from Lewiston in the
interest Of the base ball league
to be formed this year in Idaho
and Nez Perce counties. Mr..
Cameron said that the Lewiston
team had leased the Holbrook
island for a period of three years
and would fence it and put them
selves in position to keep their
team on a good basis for several
years. He said other towns
should take similar steps, as the
league would become a perma-
nent organization and every town
in the two counties that could
support a ball team would join
the league sooner or later. With
the railroad operating it will be
an easy matter to return games
and it is quite possible that games
will be played in every town in
the league once a week or often
