TROUBLE WITH INDIANS
 OCCURS AT HAZELTON

PRINCE RUPERT, Nov. 26.-A wire was received from Constable Cannon at Hazleton about p. m. yesterday asking that assistance be sent to Kit wancool, a section of country lying between Terrace and Hazelton, to in vestigate certain difficulties credited to the Indians, it being claimed that the latter had turned back a white sur vey party.
 Accordingly, Chief Walter Owen left for the scene of difficulty by this morn ing's train. He will have with him a force of ten specials, most of them to be picked up between here and Kit wancool.
 The party will go to KitwangarL which is the base of supplies for the valley. The present dispute. in all probability, has to do with land, al though no further details had been re ceived up to this forenoon.

FISHERMEN TO EXTEND
 THEIR ORGANIZATION

-O-O-
 The Alaska Cooperative Fishing and Packing Association, of Wrangell. which recently held it's annual election 1 of officers at Wrangell, is preparing to spread it's organization out all over Southeastern Alaska, and hopes to have the work of organization under way at an early date. The officers of the company and the business men of Wrangell believe that the organization will play an important and successful part in the fishing industry of Alaska.
 The Alaska Cooperative Fishing and Packing Association is an organi- zatiOn of fishermen. None are eli gible for membership in it who does not own his own boat and fishing equipment Each member is permit ted to take a limited amount of the stock of the association which is in- corporated for $1O0,O0O, and the min mum amount of stock that will be sold to one member is $1OO. There are fifty boat owners in the associa- ton now. While most of the members are Wrangell fishermen. there are members from Juneau, HOonah and other sections of Alaska
 The association has erected a cold storage plant at Wrangell with a ca pacity of more than 200 tierces, and it already has a quantity of mild cured salmon for shipment.
 While the association has thus far confined itself to accepting the pro- ducts of the mild cure fishermen, it is proposed that when fully under way it will enter all the branches of fishing Cold storage halibut and salmon and probably herring will be among the commodities handled by the company within a short time.
 J. H. McGeehee, who was recent ly made manager of the association, says that it is proposed to establish stations for the storing of fish at Ju- neau and other points in Southeastern Alaska from which shipments will be made directly to Puget Sound.
 It is Manager McGeehee's purpose to purchase or have built a large boat at an early date that will visit the differ ent mild curing stations when needed and take away the fish packed to one of the cold storage plants from which they will be shipped to the markets.
 Mir. McGeehee, the new manager of the company. had his first experience in the organization of producers for the purpose of marketing their pro- ducts among the fruit growers of Cali fornia. The plan resulted so favorably in that State that it was finally adopt ed by fruit growers of Washington and other Western States. The fishermen of the Columbia river have also found a similar organization helpful in their work
 The purpose of the Wrangell organ izatiOn, like that of the various fruit growers associations and of the Colu- mbia river fishermen, is to facilitate the marketing of the fish of Alaska and to eliminate some of the middle mems commissions and profits by mak- ing the connection between the pro- ducer more direct than it has been in the past.
 The officers of the association re- gently elected are as follows: Fred Bevier president and J. H. McGeehee, secfetary and manager. These with Pat Heines, of Ketchikan, Albert Pet erson of Juneau, and S. N. Harvey, Geo. Card and G. E. Britton, of Wran- gell, constitute the board of directors.

Ebner Reorganization
 Plans Before BOndhOIderS
20

BOSTON, Dec. 4.-Plans for the re- organization of the Alaska-Ebner Gold Mines Company, have been submitted to the bondholders calling for the or ganizatiOn of a corporation with a. capital of $7.5OO,OOO. with shares at S1O par value and authorizing $4OOO,- 900 six per cent first mortgage bonds. The proposed bonds shall be convert ible into stock after five years at the rate of $2 in bonds for Sl in par value stock. A foreclosure sale of the com
 pany's assets will take place this month.
 The bondholders of the Alaska-Eb- her have been seeking 10 reorganize for some time through two committees. one known as the Chapman commit tee and the other as the Comnox com mittee. Each of these committees represented a certain number or group of the bondholders.
 The Chapman committee has always been in the lead, however. and is supposed to have been backed in its reorganization by the United States Smelling and Refining company.
 This news seems to confirm the fact that the Chapman committee has prevailed and that the officers of. or the company itself, is back of this re- organization scheme
 The same influences that have brought forward the reorganization scheme are believed to be the par ties that have advanced the money to protect the property and made it possible for Receiver Mackay to drive the tunnel extension and do other nee essary work. The fact that when Vice President s. J. Jennings of the United States Smelling and Refining Company, who departed for the East after visiting the property, left D. D. Muir. the we'll known mining engin- ger on the ground. also tends 10 sup port this belief for Mir Muir has been giving the improvements his very care ful attention ever since work started.
 Tentative plans in event of a sue cessful reorganization have provided for the erection of a large reduction works and operations on a scale com paratively as large if not larger than the plans now being put in operation by the Alaska-Juneau and Alaska-Gas- tineau companies.
