Fury Of the ssIiissrsnt Birds In Their
Duel In the Air.

Fury Of the ssllisersnt eirds In Their
Duel In the Air.
An old time observer In Maryland
says that the Eastern Shore eagles can
fy faster, remain In their lofty digit
longer and descend from it to the earth
with more velocity than any other Gre
ated thing with wings, He also says
that the ferceness Of the eagles and
the tenacity and power OF clutch they
can put into their immense talons are
beyond belief. and he cites as an In
stance Of it a fight between two OF the
big birds that he once saw.
Just what melted the two eagles to
the combat this spectator of the fight
did not know, but they came together
high in the air. A long time the tive
fierce birds fought with beak and
talon and wing. rushing upon one an
other, delivering their blows and re-
treating for advantage in a new at
tack Then at last they clinched and
fought at close quarters.
In that position they came plungins
to the earth, but neither made any eff
fort to stay the fall. so desperately in
tent was each on the savage battle.
They struck together in the freshly
turned furrow Of a plowed field. and
the impact failed to separate them or
to cause an instant's delay in the fight.
and the coming on the scene OF man
with a club. with which he at once
took part In the battle. did not distract
their attention from one another. and
the man killed them both. Their tai
ons were buried so deeply in each 9th
| er's flesh that to separate the two
belligerent eagles 1t was necessary q
cut OF their legs.-New York Sun.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce recently sent out an appeal to the bus mess interests of Seattle ae5ing that Che Alaska Steamship Company be given a monopoly of the Alaska ship ping, giving as a reason for th5s request that the aforesaid company spends its money in Seattle. Even Seattle people were amazed. But all ofthem failed to take into consideration. that it is the shipper who usually designates which line shall carry his goods, and Alas kans are as prone to exercise that priv ilege as any other people. A eom- mereial traveller who sells goods for a Seattle house all over Southeastern and Southern Alaska said to the writer, "If should attempt to dictate to my customers what boat they should ship on, l would soon be without orders" There have been several attempts on the part of Seattle business houses to dictate shipments for one line of boats and against another running to South eastern Alaska, but these same at tempts have turned out failures. There are many good business firms in Se- attle whose trade relations with Alaska have been both pleasant and profitable to them. bat none of them should think for moment that they have the Alaska business bottled up, nailed down or clinched- Other cities are reaching out for the Northland trade, which they know to be worth getting, and if the merchants of the North should once stampede they go like a flock of sheep. Our advice to Seattle is to let we'll enough alone and not to try to, dictate something that is none of their business. IfAlaskans have steam ship troubles, let them fight 1T outr which they will do all right, for the NorthIaud is learning thatthe question of transportation ie vital one,
