PRINCE RUPERT
 HAS SALT MINE

A salt mine has been developed on the Skeena river 45 miles inland from Prince Rupert, and it already is ship ping salt to the fisheries of Northern British Columbia. The discovery of salt beds was made some time ago, but they did not promise to be suffic- iently large to be developed into ship ping properties on large scale until late last month, when drill test was being made by a company of Prince Rupert men, in which F. H, Mobley, D. Whiteford, John Moffatt, and oth. CTS are interested, disclosed large bed of pure salt
 The discovery was made at Mile 45 on the Skeena river, and is four miles east of Telegraph creek.
 The Prince Rupert Empire contains this account of an experimental ship ment of salt that was made from the property a few days ago:
 "Crippen Boneless Herring, Ltd, received a consignment of salt few days ago from the salt mine near Mile 46, in which Mir. r. H. Mobley, of Stewart & Mobley, is interested. The consignment amounted to one ton, and according to Mr. Crippen, is of excep, tionally good quality"

 PLANS TO COURT

ST. LOUIS, April 15.-Robert s. Lovett, head of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railways, will sub init plans for the dissolution of the two companies to the United States district court here, notwithstanding that they do not meet with the approv- al of Attorney General James C. Me Reynolds. His plans contemplate the placing of the $126,OOO,OOO worth of Union Pacific stock held. by the Southern Pacific in the hands of a trustee for a time to be limited by the court, the Southern Pacific to re- ceive beneficiary certificates for the stock that will permit it to receive the dividends, but the stock to be dis franchised at all elections and from representation on the board of direct ors.
 The Department of Justice will op' pose the confirmation of the plan of Mir Lovett as not being in harmony with the decision of the court in the dissolution of the two companies was ordered.

BUSINESS IMPROVING
 ON PUGET SOUND

Late newspapers to arrive from Se- attle chronicle the fact that business properties in Seattle, particularly in the vicinity of Fourth, Westlake, Fifth and Sixth Avenues, between Pine and Virginia streets, in the Denny re- grade" district, is moving at a rapid rate. Sales and options approximat- ing $2,OOO,OOO were recorded in the space of few days last week. Will liam Randolph Hearst, the newspaper man( was among those to take options. It is thought that he again contem- plates establishing morning news paper in Seattle.
 The movement is attributed to a more liberal policy on the part of the banks than has obtained for the last few years, and is hailed as harbing- CT of more prosperous times in the whole Northwest. It is believed that the confidence the bankers feel in the stability of business conditions will result in an early resumption of com mercial and industrial activity.

NEW CABINET MEMBERS
 ALL YOUNG FELLOWS

WASHINGTON. - Washingtonians who are fond of making observations and comparisons just now are finish ing their sizing up" of President Will sons new cabinet. Classification ac- cording to whiskers is impossible, be- cause only one member wears them. Classification according to age is diff ficult, because all are young. So the classification is being made by noses and chins.
 The average age of the cabinet is 50 years and months. Secretary of Commerce Redfield-he with the ros- cate whiskers--is the "patriach" hay ing attained the age of 55. Secretary Bryan-once styled the Boy Orator of the Platte"-is next in senority at 5S. Secretaries Houston, Lane, Nc. Adoo and Garrison and Postmaster General Burleson are still romping youths under 50.

JUNEAU MAN WANTS
 SKAGWAY VEGETABLES

A gentleman from Juneau is in the city today and says Juneau wants Skagway grown celery Not only does Juneau want our celery, but she stands ready to take large Quan- titles of Skagway ranch products of all kinds. Last season demonstrated to the Capital city that the tenderest and most succulent celery that ever came to that city was produced in Skagway.
 This city can be made another Kalamazoo in the matter of growing celery. Nature has peculiarly fitted the soil for its production. The stalks grow large and crisp and bring the highest market price. Visitors to Skagway, which include tourists from all over the world, are a unit in acknowledging the superiority of our celery to that taken from any garden in the world.
 What is true of celery is likewise true of caulifower, lettuce, and cab bage. One trouble with Skagway is that most of her residents are, or have been miners, and the mining thought is uppermost We get excit- ed over the mention of a dinky gold stringer, while thousands of dollars are overlooked in this valley through neglect to cultivate the soil
 One hundred acres in the Skag- way valley, divided up into dozen ranches and thoroughly cultivated, will produce more revenue than any gold mine in Alaska outside of the Treadwell. We are rich in resourc- es if We would but awake to a reali- zation of our possibilities.
 One days actual tilling of the soil right here is more valuable than years dreaming of some gold depos- it's somewhere else. Shafts may fill with water and tunnels cave. But az riculture is always with us. The ground remain productive. Skag- way soil has been proven. There is pay in every inch of it.-Skagway Alaskan.

Correct Gardening

q suppose you will make a garden this year?"
 NO, I've concluded to go at the proposition scientifically. I'll put in this year learning the Latin names of insects that have to be destroyed. Then I'll put in another year studying chemistry as it affects soil fertiliza- tion, and then maybe I'll plant few peas and string beans"
