At first the inha bitants were ready
to stone him for attempting to change
the religion of their ancestors. He
succeeded, however, in making him
self heard, and preached to them the
doctrine of the trinity, illustrating
the mystery by means of a shamrock,
a three-leafed grass with one stalk.
And sver since has this leaf been
worn on st. Patrick's day to com
memorate this event.
Ancient chronicles tell of how, find
ing no encouragement on the Dublin
coast, Patricius moved northward TO
Strangford Tough. made many con-
verts and then proceeded to Meath,
where he found King Leoghaire, the
son of Nal, presiding over "a great
council at Tara.
Legends tell of " the saint. dis

how the king came forth to punish
him for his audacity; how the king
and his followers were worsted in
combat by the miraculous powers of
Patricius, and baptized into the new
religion.

historians say that Christianity had

A popular legend credits st. Patrick
with driving snakes and other vermin
from Ireland. Many Irish ballads are
written around this event, one of the
most popular of which runs:
There's not a mile in Ireland's isle
where the dirty vermin musters;
Where'er he put his dear forefoot he
murdered them in clusters.
The toads went hop, the frogs went
flop. slap dash into the water,
And the beasts committed suicide to

LONDON, March 1.-THE Duke of
Marlboroughs announced intention
of placing 1000 acres of meadow
land on his estate at Blenheim under
the plow has attracted great atten-
ton here. The duke, who owns 90
600 acres, has chosen this method of
waging campaign against the
present governments proposed leg
islation in the direction of the ma

The Duke of Marlborough argues
that a private landlord can admin

efficiently than the state. He will
endeavor to demonstrate his theories
by showing that he can employ a
greater number of laborers. pay
them better wages and produce n
greater yield than would be possible
under state administration.

BIG CANOE FROM
 ALASKA CEDAR

T. E. Brandon representing the old house of Murphy, Grant & Co.,, of San Francisco. is ir Juneau. Mir. Bran don is an enthusiastic booster of the North and says that San Francisco is working up to the importance of this country up here. An Arctic Cub has been organized in the California me tropolis or is in process of being or ganized for the purpose of entertain ing Alaskans who come down there.
 San Francisco being in touch with the mining world can more readily grasp the needs of Alaska than other coast cities. Mir. Brandon thinks, and therefore a mutual benefit is bound to result through a fuller understand. ing between the people of Alaska and the business men of San Francesca.
 While here, Mir. Brandon is mak- ing arrangements for the building of the largest canoe in the world to be hewed out of one tree. The tree is monster cedar growing near Wrang, ell. It is Mir. Brandon's idea to have it finished and on exhibition at the Panama Exposition. The exposition grounds are all cleared and excavation is underway and everyone in San Fran, cisco is taking an intense interest in the great work.

 The indictment charged murder !n the first degree and the prosecution endeayored to get conviction in both instances.
 The jury stood II for conviction on the first ballot it is said and that the twelfth man voted the other way be- cause he wanted to bring in a verdict without the death penalty The only question that caused any argument was as to whether the verdict should be first or second degree murder against Itow.

and the Seattle wharf, for the pur. pose of guarding against any future competition in the wharfinger busi. ness. At the same time they entered into contracts with the Pacific Coast Company, the owner of the Pacific Coast wharf, whereby the Pacific Coast Company agreed oeliminate further competition by disseminating to operate their own wharf as pub lie wharf and compelling the public to use Moore's wharf, in consideration of which the Pacific Coast Steamship Company received percentage of the wharfage collected by the Moore's wharf people at the latter's wharf, and the Moore's wharf people were given an exclusive right to use the Pacific Coast wharf for the handling of coal, and to allow the Pacific Coast people wharfage of 25c per ton for the coal handled
 This combine was made effective so thoroughly that for several years last past there has been only one wharf at Skagway in position to do business, and all competition in the wharfinger business was absolutely crushed.
 This monopoly in the wharfinger business enabled the railroad com. pany and the Pacific Coast Company to discriminate against competing steamship companies operating in Alaska; and by conspiring with the wharf company they succeeded in getting g a ton for freight landed on that wharf by steamers not belong ing to either member of the combine. And the monopoly in the wharfinger business was, therefore, used as a means to create a still greater monop. oly in the entire transportation busi- ness between southern ports and Skag' way. It VIII dloO DS ohO"h Nh'N N'~ Humboldt Steamship Company was frequently waited upon and requested that if they would enter the combine and raise the rates of freight between Seattle and the Alaska ports the wharfage charges would be reduced from $2 to s1.
 To make this combine a monopoly more effective the defendants inaugu- rated the rule by which any merchant who shipped goods from the South over Moore's wharf had to pay S2 per ton wharfage at Skagway unless he entered into a contract with one Of the steamship companies belonging to the conspiracy to give such com pany all his transportation business during the year The wharf at Skag- way was the lever by which these de fendants compelled shippers to patron ize members of the combine in order to crush competition in the transpor- tation business between Puget Sound and British Columbia ports in the south and Skagway in the north.

Yet in view of the ut terly irreconcilable conflicts in the tes- timony of the witnesses for the prose cution on the crucial point as to the fatality occurred, cannot understand how a jury could convict. For, if any two of these witnesses told the truth on these points, the others were manifestly lying.
 q may of course be mistaken, but believe there has been cruel mis- carriage of justice, and wrong done these men. l think if the government had not insisted upon and obtained trial before the defenses counsel had sought or talked with a single wit ness. or had reasonable opportunity to prepare for trial, the result might have been different; at least the re- suit would have been more satisfac- tory and I should feel more confi- dence in the legality of the conviction.

BIG FISH MAN
 TALKS ABOUT FISH

on the fish first caught. The trans portation facilities afforded now for handling fresh fish are not at all suit ed to the business.
 To begin with, the vessels are not constructed for the business and can not give the fish proper care in tran sit. Moreover, the boats now plying on this run make too many stops on the way down, causing long delays that often result in destroying the value of the fish on board. Such de, lays would be disastrous even if the fish had the best of care while under the present conditions the losses sus' tained are very large.
 The lapse of time after being caught and lack O fcare in transit causes all of tn eloss. Mir. Twichell thinks that boats devoted exclusively to the fish business should ply between Juneau and Seattle.
 The San Juan Fish Company" said Mir. Twichen, always loses money in the winter time, because it costs more to get the fish than the market will bring. Fish selling at Il cents in in Seattle will cost 151k by the time New York and Boston are reached and fish will not bring more than that in the Eastern market. paid 13 cents for fish not long ago which l had to sell at II cents in order to let reg ular patron have what was wanted
 No fisherman can expect to make money during the winter months-it can't be done. Every fish our boats caught cost us twice the price we can get. We are not fishing at all, it does not pay"
