WHAT |S DOING
 0N VALDEZ CREEK
Soule Takes in 60 Tons With 16 Horses in 60 Days--TraiI
 Very Heavy.

The Valdez Creek and Clark Duff outfits reached the Valdez creek camp on April 22, after be- ing 50 days on the trail. The Soulr outfit, with 16 head of stock, took in 50 tom of sup plies. The trail was heavy from Gulkana and much snow was en- countered on the Susitna and six and eight head of stock was used by the men on the snow blow.
 The men were soon at work shoveling the snow from the ditch and preparations were made to install the hydraulic plant. The Monahan claims will be the first worked. These claims have all ready yielded over Sl00.0OO by the use of the most primitive methods.
 Clark Duff will spend the sum- mer opening his claims and Pete Monahan intends to work on White creek and hopes to find the pay.
 A large crew will also work on Lucky gulch and as the pay was uncovered last fall, it is expected that considerable money will be taken out this year.

HANGING BY NECK
 UNTIL HE'S WELL

San Francisco, June 10.--En- cased in a plaster cast, Paul V. Parker, of Napa, is hanging by his neck in a hospital here today, and there he will continue to hang until he is well. Injured five days ago in street car collision, he walked the streets four days with a broken neck--and didn't know it. An examination yesterday showed that he had a bad frac- ture of the sixth cervical verte- brae. Only the muscles were holding the neck in place, and a movement of sixteenth of an inch of the broken bones prob ably would have caused death. Parker will get we'll, unless his physicians are wrong. If he does, his will De the second case of it's sort on record.

KICK ABOUT OUR
 VOLCANO TALES
Spirit City AIaskans Say It ln- jures the Northern Territory
 and Want It Stopped.

Seattle, June 10.--The Seattle Alaskans have made a protest against the publishing of the sen- sationaI volcano stories, as they are said to be injurious to the northern territory and also to Se- attle.
 The recent activity of the vol canoes to the westward, all of which are now active, sending clouds of smoke into the air, caused the rehashing of the result of the katmai eruption and the printing of the pictures taken last year. and was the reason for the protest made today against sen- Saliunal stories.

Market Reforms Needed.

The news that there were to be some help given by the national government in the matter of mar keting of produce by special bureau is extremely interesting to .the farmers of the country, and especially of the west. During the year 1912 there were very few of the farm products that could be marketed with profit to the farm- CT, although the consumer paid plenty. The waste in marketing caused by the large number of middlemen must be stopped. The office of market Investigations just established will lend help ing hand. While there is only a small amount of money for the office now, it won't take much in- vestigating to find the trouble. The big work will come in reform ing the marketing methods after the trouble in located.

MINNESOTA WINS
 RAILROAD CASE
Supreme Court Holds That Two Cent Rate is Legal Against N.
 p. and G. N. Roads.

Washington, D. C., June i0.-- The United States Supreme court has decided in favor of the state of Minnesota in the suit brought by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern to prevent the state from enforcing the two-cent d mile rate on passenger travel in the state.
 The court held that the state could regulate the rates on inter- state roads crossing the state un- til such time as congress passed a tariff schedule for the roads.
 The court held that it was not confiscatory and that at that rate a fair return can be made on the investment, but in the case of the Minneapolis & St. Louis rail- road, which, under the same law. appealed from the decision of the state courts and fought the low CT rate because it would, they claim, have forced the company to go into bankruptcy, the court held that the rate could not be en- forced, as it would result in forc- ing the company to operate at a loss and the state must not en- force the law against that road.

RecIamation. shakeup Promised.


 The recent conference of otfi- cers of water users associations under the western irrigation or reclamation projects with Secre- tary Lane in Washington will no doubt be productive of good re- suits. In addressing the meet ing MT. Lane told the delegates that he had called then1 there to educate him. It is good to see that he recognizes the fact that these officers know more about the projects than he does. The delegations were united in de- manding loOsening in the reg ulations and the appointment of western men familiar with con- ditions to handle. the projects. MT. Lane announced that this would be the policy of the admin ,istration of his office. This will cause a great shakeup in present reclamation circles. It will meet with the approval of the farmers under the projects and they are the. people who have to foot the bills 'and suffer Tor mismanage-. ment. o.

New York, JunA i0:--Colonel Goethals, the canal builder, who reached here today on his way to Washington to consult with the War department and the presi- dent regarding the work on the canal, made the statement to the press that the canal would be open for steamers probably in October, 1915.
 The stories circulated in the press that the canal would be ready in six months, he said, were absurd, nor had the depart ment ordered him to increase the force and push the work because of the Japanese war scare.

 Norman Leopold and Robert Kelsey went out loaded for bear the other night and returned dis gusted. All they scared up was a fool hen and a porcupine. They got neither, as Norman said they were too swift for them:
 Miss Corrigan caught the first fish of the camp, a nice big bull head. Dorothea Miller also made an equally fine catch. Kenneth and Fat" each caught fine hal ibut apiece.
 The rain has seriously damp ened the ardor of the campers and they are expected back at any time.

VENNER LOSES HIS SUIT
AGAINST BELMONT OVER
PETERBOROUGH STOCK
Insisted $1,000 Shares Were
Given Belmont Without
Value in Return.

Clarence II. Venner. who has been
variously described as IAN artitcer of
litigation" and "a menace to corporate
society" lost his two million-odd dol
lar suit against August Belmont. the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
and others of the original Board of
Directors to-day. supreme Court JUS
tice Van Siclen, before whom the suit
has been on trial In Brooklyn for many
weeks, decided that venner was not
entitled to an accounting of the $1,000
shares of Interborough Rapid Transit
stock which was paid to August Bel
mont Il Co. for the franchises OF the
Pelham Bay Park and City Island Rail-
way lines.
venner. VITA the Continental Securi-
ties Company. which he included as
complainant, contended that the trans
fer Of stock to Belmont had been In the
nature OF bonus. He concluded that
the franchise which Belmont sold for
millions had cost him only $4,000.
In the trial OF the suit the answer
was made that Belmont had accepted
stock OF questionable value and had
given In return franchises without
which the operation of the INTERIOR
ough would have been impossible.
Justice Van Slclen dismissed the IN.
terest in the matter of the Continental
Securities Company by declaring tina,
1t was Venner's alter ego. and he sus-
tanned the contention that Belmont had
given value for the stock transferred
to him.
