WILL CANCEL TIDE
 LAND HOLDINGS

The United States government will institute an action at once for the clearing of the waterfront of all ten. ants and buildings occupying tide lands on what is commonly known in Juneau as the restricted district" The Department of Justice has in structed District Attorney John J. Rea- gan to proceed at once in the matter and Mir. Reagan will immediately ask the district court for a mandate com polling the removal of the buildings mentioned and the vacation of the property. "The government has de- clared," MT. Reagan said, that the buildings that now cucumber the prop erty to be nuisance and is proceed ing to wipe 1t out"
 District Attorney Reagan stated that 1t is not usual for the government to interefere with tldeland holders who are occupying government tidelands for legitimate purposes unless the prop erty in question is required for gov ernment purposes. He further stated that the government expected to re- tain the waterfront in question when cleared of It's present buildings for dock purposes.
 Tue Federal government has always retained possession of the tide lands of the various Territories until such Territories became States, according to Mir. Reagan and then allowed title to these tide lands to pass to such States which In turn have sold or re- tained possession according to the will of the State governments. Usually the States holding tide lands have al- lowed parties with improvements the nrst opportunity to buy tide lands at the prices fixed by the State in which the lands are situated.

MAN ON TRIAL
 TRIES TO ESCAPE

Judging from the actions of Romolo Ceasari, now on trial for his life on the charge of murdering Dominica Melis, he has more confidence in his legs than in courts, lawyers and jur. les.
 Tuesday of this week Ceasari was being given light exercise by walking around in the barracks square in GUS tody of Constable King, one of the members of the Royal N. W. M. P. who accompanied him from Dawson. After several laps had been completed and when on the south side of the square and near the virgin forest, the prisoner darted from the side of his custodian like meteor and beaded for the uncut. Before he had covered ten feet King was also unlimbering but his feet were in his pathway and he fell sprawling to the ground. Ris- ing immediately he fired his pistol in the air at which Ceasari dropped to the ground and was again on his feet in an instant and going like mara thon winner. King fired again and this time the bullet ploughed hole in the atmosphere close to Ceasari's head. and the latter, thinking ma chine gun was at work, dropped to the ground and waited until King reached him, when both pursued and pursuer wended their way back to the barracks putting like exhausted freight engines. Since that time Mir. Ceasari has obtained fresh air through a crack in the wall.-Whitehorse Star.

A Long Rest and Absence From Business Seemed Necessary.
 Quickly Restored at Home By
ALKANC King of the Blood

Alkano Remedy Co, Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen: During the months of July, August, September and Octo' Der, was, on account of oyerwork, in a rundown condition physically. i spent fully half my time at home in bed under a doctors care and what time I was at the office l was more than useless as a business man.
 l had headache, flashes of fever, in- digestion and no appetite. 1 was ir- ritabie and without energy, and was undergoing all the unpleasantness of an overworked system and attending blood conditions.
 About November 1st my condition became so bad that I could no longer look after business, and as l saw it, had to decide between pressing on with my work with d long sickness, which seemed inevitable, or take a long rest. 1 decided on the rest and had fixed the day to leave for Cuba. About this time 1 met 8 friend, who told me of Alkano and advised me to try it. I did so,
 I have taken three bottles and have never felt better or stronger in my life than now. have a good appetite, good digestion, a clear head, no head ache, abundant energy and a steady nerve. In fact, 1 feel like a farm boy, and better than I have since l left the | farm.
 I attribute my present condition to Alkano and recommend it to anyone in rundown or overworked condition Very truly. F. w, CASNER. TOT sale exclusively by R. G. Mor- r.s Drug Co, Hot Springs, Ark.

While Deputy Labor Commissioner McMahon was here making an ad- lustment of the plumbing strike. he gave some attention to the condition of the unorganized laundry girl work CTS. and at the outset gave out the
 information that he would make an effort to have minimum wage sea e Of $6 per week agreed to.
 After he made the investigation here he said:
 T have found conditions in this re- spect in Hot Springs much better ,han 1 expected to find them. and no demand Will he made for minimum wage scale of $6 per week for the girls. because l find that they are all getting that much wages
 'I find there is but one exception to the minimum wage scale of S6 per week in the laundries here, and that is the case of an old woman who is not considered very servceable, and who is receiving little less per week, but who probably would be denied employment if we forced the laundry to pay $G, and who is being well taken care of in the absence Of 2 minimum scale
 Deputy McMahon will return to iiot Springs Monday and take up the matter of securing something of concession from the laundering houses in the matter of a regulation of the working hours. He has found the laundry owners of the city dis posed to treat their employees we'll and he believes that with the wages they are now receiving, if the hours can he regulated slightly. the situa lion will be entirely satisfactory.

WHERE PROFITS GO
 IN YOUR BUSINESS
SUM OF St5o,oOo PAID IN EXCES- sIVE RATES, PROFIT ON MIL
 LION AND HALF BUSINESS.
Young Mems Chamber of Commerce Next Thursday Night Win Show You Where Your Profits Have Gone For Many Years.

l.. s. Mcdonald, general manager of the Shippers Traffic Bureau, after making a further search into the sit uation of the excessive freight rates charged Hot Springs merchants and business men, has prepared a report to the traffic committee of the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce. which substantiates his former csti- mate that the people here were pay ing $l5O,0O0 in excessive oyercharges each year to the railroads.
 This is @ profit on a volume of business to the extent of one and onehalf million dollars, and shows something of where the profits or the hotels and others in this city have gone in the past.
 The report of Mr. Mcdonald covers the field most thorouehy, but some excerpts from it will be given here. One instance is that we pay S2l more freight on an auto than Little Rock buyers. We pay 2 cents per hundred
 
 Fort Smith does; we pay 40 cents per hundred more on cattle than Fort Smith pays; and say, on liquors, we pay GG cents, while Little Rock pays 4O and Fort Smith 50 cents; and on farm wagons we pay 5l cents while Little Rock pays 33 cents and Fort Smith 40 cents
 The financial proposition on the part of the Shippers Traffic Bureau is outlined to the Chember of Com merce in the proposal and while it requires that sum to be devoted i'm medately to the expense to be in- cured in getting a reduction of the rates before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington, the bu- reau proposes 10 charge only mini mum fee, and that to be paid only after the reductions have been se- cured.
 When reductions are ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion the reduced rates cannot be de viated from for at least two years. Also when it is established that the railroads have been making over they will be forced to refund as far back as the past two years, and the files of the freight offices are open to the shippers to ascertain how much overcharge they have been required to pay
