B|C INCREASE IN FREIGHT
 RATES

In regard to the recently announced raise in freight and passenger rates by the companies operating steam ships between Seattle and Alaskan ports. the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
 officials of the Alaska Steamship Company, the Pacific Alaska Naviga- ton Company and Border Line Trans portation company, Friday announced that they would advance all freight and passenger rates from Seattle to ports in southeastern Alaska follow ing the lead of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, effective April l. Company and the Pacific Alaska Navi- gation Company also announced that rates from Seattle ports in southwest ern Alaska and to Anchorage, Cook Inlet, will be advanced.
 The freight rate from Seattle to Prince William Sound and to Seward will be advanced from $11 to SIP ton. and from Seattle to Anchorage from $13 to $14 a ton.
 With the wharfage rate of 50 cents per ton in Seattle, the new freight rates will be $12.5O Seattle to Cordova. Valdez and Seward, and $14.50 from Seward to Anchorage, Cook Inlet
 First cabin passenger rates from Seattle to Cordova Valdez and Sew ard will be advanced from $45 to $50 and from Seattle to Anchorage from $55 10 $60. The steerage rate will be advanced $250, Seattle to Cordova, Valdez and Seward, and the Anchorage steerage rate proportionately
 The new tariffs show an advance of $2 ton on general merchandise from Seattle to all ports in southeast ern Alaska. The rate from Seattle to ! Ketchkan will be raised from $3 to $5 ton, and Seattle to Juneau from $4 10 $6 a ton, and Seattle to Skagway from B to $7 a ton.
 There are other rates lower and higher than the general merchandise rates, and they will be proportionately increased Some items in the tariffs, however, will not be raised at all. It has been decided to hereafter in clude in the rate the Seattle wharfage charge for Alaska freight, which is 50 cents a ton. That is, to quote a lump sum for wharfage and freight on all Alaska shipments.

FLAX OUTPUT IF IRELAND ON
 INCREASE

DUBLIN, April 8. - Irish flax shows a remarkable rise in price. The mini mum is now two hundred pounds per ton as against eighty pounds per ton
 before the war. There has been some extension of flax growing under the advice of the agricultural department. Ireland has provided in the past only a comparatively small part of the flax used in the linen industries of Belfast.

THREE REVENUE CUTTERS FUR
 ALASKA

But three revenue cutters or coast guard ships will be stationed in Alas ka waters during the coming summer. These three are the Unalga, the Man ming and McCulloch, veterans in the service.
 The cutter McCulloch is now at San Francisco. and will sail from that place about May 15, for Valdez, and will take the United States district court for the Third division on the long trip westward, as for the past several years, and which constitutes what is known as the floating court, as the vessel carries a judge, district attorney, clerk, marshal and other officials necessary for the holding of the court at the various stops from Valdez to Bristol bay, in Boring sea. The trip usually begins early in July.
 The Unalga will sail from Seattle about April 20 for Unmak pass, where she will be ready to render any ne cessary aid to the huge cannery fleet bound for Bristol bay and adjacent waters, which appears about that time.
 The Manning has been assigned to  patrol work in the Boring sea, in the

LONDON, April 10. - The Hair Dressers' Guild have announced that after April 15 next they will raise the charge for shaving from four cents to five cents, and advance the price of hair cutting from eight cents to ten cents. Scarcity of labor and the in- creased cost of materials are given as the reason for the increased prices.

WASHINGTON, April 10. - Califor- mia now produces about three times as many raisins yearly as Spain, the home of the raisin industry. Growth of the American raisin industry has reduced raisin imports from 38,0OO,OO0 pounds in 1885 to less than 5000. 900 pounds last year, when California pro. duced 25OO0O,O0O pounds.

This applies with equal truth TO each

ten deposits are usually in or in close
proximity to metamorphic rocks also,
such as slate, schist, quartzite, or
crystalline limestone, for the very in
rusion of the granite itself has in
many cases brought about the meta

often mica, tourmaline and fluorite.
In Cornwall, greensboro and states
have been introduced by granite, and
these in turn by bikes of quartz-por
phyry. The mineral-bearing lodes
are for the most part parallel with
the bikes, and in many places occupy
fault assures. appropriations Of coun-
try-rock along the lodes are common.
Within the lodes the ore is irregular
ly distributed in punches and pipe
like masses. The ore mineral Is
chiefly wolframite, with which is
found cassiterite. pyrite, arseno-pyrite.
chalco-pyrite. quartz. feldspar and
tourmaline. Locally. ores of nickel.
cobalt. lead, zinc, and uranium are
found in the higher levels. while anti
mony. bismuth and molybdenum have
been produced in commercial quanti-
ties. The wolframite follows contacts
between granite and slate.
In Spain deposits of wolframite are
found in quartz veins with scheelite,
cassiterite, mica, rutile, and feldspar
cutting gneiss and gneissic granite,
and in alluvial deposits derived there
| from.
| In Bolivia wolframite Is found in
veins associated with cassiterite, bis
muth, copper and silver.
| In Peru hubnerite occurs in veins
following contacts of granite with
slate and quartzite.
| In Queensland and New South
Wales wolframite occurs in quartz
veins, in greisen, and in placers with
chlorite. muscovite. biotite, topaz
fluorite, beryl, cassiterite, and bis
muth and molybdenum minerals. The
production of these two Australian
states is of considerable Importance.
The persistence of tungsten de
posits in depth and the maintenance
of metal-content are questions OF vita
Importance. Unfortunately but few
deposits have been developed suffi
GENTLY to determine their true ma
ture, so that we have not enough dat
upon which to base definite conclu
sions.

Came Suddenly

The tempest came suddenly. At
O'Clock the sun was shining brightly
although the rumble of thunder could
be heard in the north and northwest
hut at $40, little more than a half
hour, the rain was falling in torrents
and was bein,, driven in sheets into
every nook and crevlce by gale that
was little less than a tornado. And
with this there was an incessant crash
of thunder ana glare Of lightning, the
two coming together in a way which
told that the storm vas directly over
head. But that was not all, for the
rain was accompanied by a downpour
of hailstones, many Of them being as
large as the end Of ones finger, and
crlven by the wind they caused hun
dreds Of dollars worth Of damage in
broken glass.
The first rush Of the storm was
spectacular in the extreme and as it
lroke upon the city tie landscape was
Elotted out by a cloud of dust like a
gray pail, and with the cloud came
focks Of frightened pigeons seeking
safety in flight. Bits Of paper, small
sticks, tWigs of trees which had been
torn away by the wind-aIl mingled
with the cloud of dust that was driven
fy the gale. 4 few wild clouds went
scudding across the sky, a crash Of
thunder and binding glare of light
ring, and then the rain.
Torrents of Water

within five mirutes after the storm

running water, and torrents Of water
at that. The usually peaceful and
grassgrown Court hill was trans
formed into a mill race and the plat
form which leads from the top of the
steps across to the sidewalk went out
Of sight under a flood Of water that
looked like a miniature Niagara. This

where the water ran down. 1t was the

follows:
Now comes the above named defend
ant as for answer to the bill of COM
plant and respectively AYERS that the

and consents to an order appointing a re-

ton at Mt. Kineo. Maine. At the court
office 1t was said it was possible the pa
pers would be presented to him within
q day or two, and that the hearing would
be given soon after that.
That receivership proceedings would
be sharply contested. however. was in
dictated in a statement issued tonight
by Conrad w. Croker, junior counsel
for the Boston Minority Stockholders
Association, who said: I'VE shall fight
any such petition from the drop Of the
hat to the last ditch. There is no ex-
cuse for the directors refusal to make
some effort to secure a renewal of
credit The application for a receiver
ship, and receivership, are two quite
different things and the proceedings
will give us a splendid opportunity to
present our case"
