Pack
Markets.

During 1915 the general markets for canned salmon have been very ir- regular. The stupendous war has dis arranged the trade, the transportation and the finances of the world Lack of transportation facilities, almost prohibitive freight and exchange rates, together with the closing of the Panama Canal, have seriously inter fered with the prompt and economic distribution of the pack. Contrary to general impression none of the gov enments of the warning nations have purchased canned salmon in large quantities. Only to Australasia have the salmon shipments been made normally and in usual quantities.
 Almost before the results of the seasons operations were known, prices of the lower grades of salmon became badly demoralized. Goods of these qualities were sold regardless of cost, a number of salmon concerns have been forced into liquidation and many others have lost heavily. Our company has not reduced its opening prices, and as a result of having made early and large sea transporta- tions arrangements has been able to distribute considerable of its output at satisfactory prices.
 The failure of the salmon runs at several of our more important sta tions has reduced the 1915 pack in comparison with those of the previous four years, and this, together with the above mentioned disturbing elements, have curtailed the profit on the years business.

 the personality Of the Holy Spirit The singing led by MT. Guice, as sisted by one of the largest chorus choirs ever organized in the city, is one of the special features of the ] revival
 | There will be no afternoon service

C|TY CANDIDATES GET CAPITAL CASH
Democrats Of Capitol Asked to Aid Brethren Running for Municipal
 Offices

For tune yesterday afternoon there
 was considerable commotion at the
 state house all over one perfectly in-
 offensive man. The said man was go-
 ing about from one office to another. and in each would hold a whispered conference with whoever happened to he in charge. In about seven cases out of ten, the one whispered to, would dig down in his jeans, and come forth with cold hard cash.
 It was surmised at first that it was a black hand scheme. Then it was de- ducted by several bright stenographers and at least one official that he was sO- liciting campaign funds for the city election.
 And then another hubbub was raised. Someone remembered that the city commission had passed an ordinance to the effect that it was a "crime for | candidates to solict financial aid for 1 their campaigns" This gave rise to I the opinion that the solicitor was a malefactor and breaking a city law. | From then on he was gazed at with l curiosity in every office he ventured l into.
 ! When questioned on the subject, the | young man affably admitted that he had received $50 from the Water Users building, and $66 from the court house. 1 How much he obtained at the state house was q question. But shortly af- | ter he had left it was ascertained that 1 the city ordinance pertained only to
 city employees and that state, county | and government employees could fork
 over as much as they wished, if not more.
 Corpstein and Gibbs were the two candidates for whom money was being
 raised. Both are democrats, and dem | ocratic officials were expected to kick
 in, in an effort to make Phoenix demo-
 cratic.

with anyone else's business and IS proSperinS.
 This same party has six brothers and other relatives and are helping him to conduct his four business establish ments and whether he pays any wages to his help or gives them shares from his profit, l think it is nobody's busl- ness.
 However, now because he is pros pering comes Mir Union man and tells him that he must either join the union or else will close him up by placing a picket in front of his business place. Now I ask the fair minded citizens of this city whether the above propo- ston is fair and square; whether we are in free country or not? Or wheth- CT it is right that we must allow a second or third party to dictate to us how to conduct our business? As We Greeks are the descendants of Homer and Socrates, are we to be classed be low the Chinese and Japanese? No the world knows us too well.
 Yours truly,
