F. A. Twichell. manager Of the San Juan Fish Company with headquarters in Seattle. while called to Juneau as a witness in the transportation case now pending is deyoting leisure hours to a study of Juneau and her possi, bilities. This is Mir. Twichell's first visit to this section since the palmy days of the great stampede.
 Mir. Twichen remarks that Juneau is much changed and he is pleased to know that the wealth which was believed to be in the hills back of town has been demonstrated reality by actual physical development.
 Mir. Twicheu knows the fish busi- ness and incidentally knows where the most of Alaska's fish finds a mar ket. At the present time most per sons would say that it is like shipping coals to Newcastle to ship fish to Bos- ton-but nevertheless that is the ti- nal destination of alarge percentage of Alaskas fish product-this is es- pecially true of the fresh halibut trade
 According to Mir. Twichen 65 per cent of all the fresh halibut shipped out of Alaska goes direct to New York and Boston. Only five per cent of the catch finds sale on the Pacific Coast. About 30 per cent is sold in the Middle West as far east as Chi cago.
 The great difficulty in handling fresh fish-halibut especially-trom distant points is to get it quickly to the mar ket. Boats that go out and spend two to four weeks in making a catch be- fore delivery are bound to suffer loss

HIGH SCHOOL BAND
 MAKING PROGRESS

A number Of young men in Juneau are endeavoring to build up a cred itable musical organization. They have the right spirit all right, as was shown by last nights performance Standing front of the new Orpheum theatre they played several marches, although it was so cold that the instru- ments had to be thawed out after the rendition of each selection-and in some cases the instruments would freeze while being played, rendering that part helpless for the remainder of selection.
 This organization. known as the Jul neau High School Band. is making fast progress under the new leader, Leon Schell, an old-time musician of ability. known all over Alaska and the States.
 Two new members were recently added to the band and they have talk en hold with enthusiasm and have lent new courage to the older mem bers.
 The band is sadly in need of some new instruments, and some to replace a few cheaper grade instruments which have been used until such time when good ones could be obtained.
 Recently a few business men con tributed toward the object of getting the desired instruments, many more could and undoubtedly will help once the object is properly brought to theil attention.
 The band is contemplating bene fit performance soon, which will bC given in the new Orpheum theatre no doubt.

The transportation case wherein the government is prosecuting var ious steamship companies, the White Pass & Yukon railroad, the owners Of the Skagway dock, and various per sons for conspiracy and violation of the Sherman Act, went to trial in the district court this morning. All of individual and corporations, defend ants in the case, entered pleas of not guilty.
 It was stipulated between counsel for the government and the defense that this action can be considered a misdemeanor and that each side have three premptory challenges.
 The work of securing a jury was immediately begun and brought to a finish by 12 o'clock.
 The following comprise the jury; Walter Bathe, w. H. McBlain, Harry Ashball, Ed Woods, L, T. Merry, w. s. Elwell, John J. Kasnakoff, C. E, Carpenter, James Fitzgerald Ben Leaning, and Walter Clark.
 The opening statement of District Attorney Rustgard follows.
 The charge against the defendants is violation of the Sherman Antitrust law by conspiring to monopolize and monopolize wharfinger business at Skagway. The fact, as the prosecu' tion expects to prove them, are in substance as follows:
 Some eight or ten years ago there were four wharves at Skagway, each doing business as public wharf, and each competing for public trade. One was the Moore's wharf, one the Pacific Coast wharf, athird the Sylvester wharf, and fourth the Seattle wharf, socalled. On January 20, 1899 the Moore's wharf entered into contract with the railroad company to make that wharf the terminus of the rail road in consideration of which the Moore's wharf agreed to handle over the wharf, free of charge, all person. al freight of the railroad company and to give the railroad company 25 per cent of the wharf receipts col lected from the public. And the rail road on the other hand, in consid' oration of these promises by the wharf company, agreed to refuse to extend their track facilities to the other wharves except when compelled to do so by legal process, and to that end cripple the other wharves. This contract was made for term of thir' ty years, and is still in force, with slight notifications.
 On account of the stand taken by the railroad company to force the pub lie to use the Moores' wharf, the bus mess of the other wharves slackened so much that the owners of those wharves found it to their advantage to sell, and the Moore's wharf people purchased both the Sylvester wharf

FEAR BANKS
Aurora County Farmer Family
Lose Money by Fire
and Theft

Stickney, Oct. Is Their lack oil
faith in banks has up to date cost Mr..
and Mrs. A. Scott. residing on al
Aurora county fam, the sum of g..
$50 in cash. They made q practices
of keeping large sums of money il
the house instead of trusting it to Q
bank.
Of the sum lost. $3.50 was stoler
from their home while the remaining
5000 was burned in a fire that de
stroyed their dwelling house SOM
months ago. The loss of the $685.
has just been discovered. The dis
covery of the loss came about wher
they decided to pay a note which hat
just become due. The money had beer
secreted in an accordian box, whict
served as a crude safety deposit box
When they went to the place wher'
the money had been hidden they fount
it gone.
Then the members of the family re
membered that about a week ago. upol
returning from a trip to a field. the.
found their house had been rapsacked
All that could be missed at the tim
was all the fresh bread and a quantit.
of butter. which had been in a cup
botrd. They never thought to inspec
the aiding place Of the $3.50, as the.
believed the house had been entere'
during their absence by tramps, who's
sole purpose was to secure something
to eat.
The loss was reported to the authori
| ties. but thus far not the slightes
trace Of the thief or thieves can b
found. There is q possibility that tn
money was taken by someone livinI
10 the neighborhood, who was familia
with their practice of using thei
home as a bank, and that the butte
and bread were taken to divert sus
picion from the real reason why tn
house was ransaoked.
