The Episcopal clergy of the Yukon are opposing the establishment Of cannery at the mouth of the Yukon river on the ground that it may de- prive the natives and whites of the upper Yukon of their usual supply of salmon. Referring to the propo- sition, a report from Fairbauks says:
 The topic of the proposed eannery at the mouth of the Yukon was ta- ken up at the convocatIon at Anvik. and It was decided to oppose 1t for the reason that the natives and whites for thousands of miles along the Yukon and its tributaries are dependent upon the salmon of the river for food. and these will be largely cut off by a cannery.

BINGHAM MINERS RESUME HOS.
TILE ATTITUDE ON RuMoRs
OF STRIKERREAKERS.
STRIKERS ARE CAUTIONED
If Lives of Citizens are Endangered
Governor Spry Again Warns Miners
the Power of the State Will Be
Used Against Them.

Bingham, Utah, Sept. 21.-Rumors
that a large army of strikebreakers
was being recruited in the nearby
towns to take the place of the for
elgners who laid down their tools on
Wednesday has aroused the Greeks
and Cretans to action, and today they
were again taking up positions in
their Notifications overlooking the
mines. There was no disorde er. how
ever,
The report that the Utah Copper
company would begin operations last
night proved untrue. In case an at
tempt is made to open the mines to-
day battle with the Greeks and Gre
taEs is expected.
The Utah Copper company exported
twenty white and Japanese Ia aporers
into the camp yesterday and although
their arrival was witnessed by the
strikers no attempt was made to in
terfere with them.
Since the visit of Governor Spry to
the camp two days ago there has
been but little disorder. Last night
he again cautioned the miners that
he could not allow the lives of citizens
to be endangered, and said he would
use the power of the state, if neces-
sary, to enforce the law.
