pressed on the coast over the

that much more of a burden is
being shouldered by the territory
than was contemplated when the

ar .derable opposition has been
manifested to the collection of the

adds to the popular feeling against

COAST HAL|BUT
SHIPPED SOUTH

CORDOVA, Nov. 9. - The steam
ship Admiral Sampson which sailed
for Seattle from here last Thurs
day had on board a shipment of
10000 pounds of halibut which was
brought here from the banks on
Prince William sound where mum.
erous fishing schooners are cperat-
ing
This makes the third large ship
ment of the fish which has been
sent south since fishing operations
commenced this winter on the sound.
The halibut when caught on the
sound are brought here where they
are iced and packed for shipment to
Seattle from which point they are
distributed. This shipment of hall
but was caught on the banks off
Middleton Island and indicates that
the business could be conducted on
commercial basis. 1t is evident
from reports received from the south
that the halibut caught on the
sound is much better than that
caught further south and it is be-
lieved that there will be a ready

FIVE KILLED
BY STRIKERS
IN COLORADO

DENVER, Nov 9. - Although mar
tial law has been declared and the
state militia IS patrolling the strike
district in Southern Colorado hos il.
tiles have been resumed again be
tween the striking ccal miners and
the mine guards and the sold ers.
The main disturbance comes from
the miners in the vicinity of Ludlow,
Berwind and Aeullar, where the
strikers seem to be determined to
fight for their cause.
Five mine guards We're killed and
many others We're injured in the
fight which occurred after dark yes
to-day. The strikers who surprised
the guards evidently had waited I'M
til night to attack the watchers at
the mines and many shots were ex,
changed in the engagement which
was a real battle That the strikers
accord with the action of Governor
Ammons in sending the state sol
diers to protect the mine operators
who have refused to arbitrate the
differences is shown by their ac-
ton in destroying bridges and rail
roads. Six bridges have been burned
lately and in places railroad tracks
have been torn up to hinder the
operation Of the trains. The strikers
have also attempted to fire the
mines and offices, and the situa-
ton is becoming alarming as the
soldiers seem to be unable to sup
press the disorders.
If some agreement is not reached
soon between the strikers and the
operators the government will be
asked to force them to arbitrate
heir differences.
