1t is said that an effort is being
made to secure new site, north
OF the bridge, for reconstruction of
the Mumby mill a portion of which
was lately destroyed by fire at the

Lue Vernon has apparently caught
the Tacoma Tribune in plagiarism.
The Seattle P.-L. in it's issue Of Sun
day, the It'll, published an article en-
titled How Robinson Ran a Live
Sitka Paper" which the Tribune pub
fishes verbatim after substituting

labor in cutting shingie bolts, visited
Justice Crosby the next day and
asked permission to withdraw the
