SAILED ALL NIGHT
 .... IN SAME PLACE.

Just before the Farragut passed by the last time schooner with cargo that included a barrel of whis- key was sailing into Kodiak with two men for crew. The man who was steering during the daytime threw over the anchor but kept the sails hoisted and the other man came to steer for the night. The wind was fresh and the waves beat around the stationary vessel so that the steerer in the dark thought he was making good headway until day broke and he found he was still the same distance from shore. Then up came the day pilot with large quantity of the whiskey slowed away inside his belt and with alternate shifts to port and starboard. The mistake was discov- cred and the last seen of the boat she was tacking into the harbor with apparently as great jag on as the
 man at the wheel had.

GRANBY COMPANY TO
 SHIP COPPER BY SEA.

SEATTLE: Shipments of copper from Seattle to New York by steam CT will start from the Granby Smelt- ing Company of British Columbia just as soon as the canal is cleared for navigation and direct steamship line, with a regular schedule, is put on between the two ports, according to F. M Sylvester, of Vancouver, B. C., general manager of the Granby company. The copper which, owing to the increased production of the TWO Granby plants, one of the coast and one near the Columbia river, amounts to 100000 pounds a month, now goes East by railroad. Mr. Sylvester, with Mrs. Sylvester and F. M. Sylvester, Jr., are at the New Washington on their way east after months trip to New York, where Mr. Sylvester went on busi- ness He is we'll pleased with the general business outlook, but be- lieves that the end of the year will bring period of depression of from few months to years duration.
 "As far as the Granby company is concerned, we have no complaint to make" said he yesterday. We are handling about 1SO,O00 tons of cop per ore a month and shipping A. 100000 pounds of the metal to New York every thirty days. The present high price of copper has led to an increase of production in our North ern plant at Anyox, B. C., where we are now handling about 30 per cent more ore than usual Although in other sections of Canada there have been reports of labor shortage we we have more men applying for work than we can look out for. 1 regret that we cannot increase our plants to take care of the surplus of unem- ployed in our section.

Jos. Newman, fireman on the Post launch Lieut..

He has a flock of seven young turkeys raised at Fort Liscum during the past summer, and the birds are fine, healthy specimens. He succeeded in raising seven out of nine which were matched and believes that pretty good record for Alaska. He won a pair of turkeys at a raffle Thanksgiv- ing, and determined to keep them for breeding purposes and now has a flock of nine.

HARVEST HANDS Wanted
BY SUGAR PLANTERS

L. Weinzheimer, manager of Pioneer
Mill Company, again discussing the vi
tai importance of being able to harvest
the cane when it is ripe, said yesterday
that serious condition exists in Hawaii.
1.-The labor situation is the limiting
factOr,' he said. From February to
the end of August we can use all the
labor we can lay hands on but from
September to January field and null
work are both slack. Nevertheless we
must hold and find employment for
half our labOrers during the slack sea
son to have enough first to harvest and
then to plant.
That is the reason some plantations
consider it necessary to prolong tho
harvest as long as they can instead of
cutting the cane when il is ripest and
when it's Juice purity is best and sue.
rose highest.
Like the Wheat Harvest
"Our situation is exactly comparable
to the conditions in the west during
the grain harvest or in California dur
ing the fruit harvest. We must have
labor first to harvest and then to plant,

| for permission to import ten thousand
laborers every year to help out very

said. "Because with the present In
Dor supply we cannot harvest our crops
when they are ripe we are losing
three million dollars worth of sugar
every year. The planters would be will
ing to put up n bond to ship all the
lahorers imported for the harvest sea
son out of the country at the end Of
the planting season if the UniteC
States government would allow us Il
gct ten thousand more harvest hands.
Government Could Help Planters
