 READY FOR
 THE SEASON

Nearly all the steamers, both freight and passenger. to be operated on the Alaskan route during the coming sum. mer is or have been given a good over hauling during the winter and in some cases several thousand dollars have been spent on each of them in re- building and repairing them.
 The Jefferson was off the run dur Ing the fall while the Dolphin made two trips in her place, getting new coat of paint and new furnishings The Dolphin is being oyerhauled at present in one of the Seattle ship yards. The Alameda and Northwest ern have both been overhauled and the Mariposa is being repaired and refitted throughout, after having been wrecked on Pointer Island, B. C.
 The Alaskan. formerly the Kansas City. has recently been purchased by the Alaska Steamship Company and will be entirely overhauled and re- fitted before being placed on the nor. thern run. She will be the flagship of the fleet
 The Canadian boats are all in first class condition but will have their paint work touched up and their fur niture refinished before being placed on the route permanently.
 The Humboldt is at present in San Francisco for her annual overhauling and several radical changes in her house and furnishings will be made.
 The Al-Ki has just resumed the run after being off for two weeks.
 The City of Seattle is off at present being oyerhauled and the Spokane has been converted into an oil burner.
 The Curacao will be the biggest surprise sprung on the Alaskan peo- pie. After having been wrecked on the west coast of Prince Of Wales Island at Warm Chuck and after the underwriters had abandoned her, she was raised and taken to Seattle un- der her own steam. On the way to the Sound the wreckers dried out her dynamo and were able to use their own electric lights and when she arrived in Vancouver she was without a speck of rust on her inter for on account of the loose oil which had noated around and had coated the boat until the salt water had not eff fected the steel work. The wreckers opened her paint locker and gave her full coat of paint on the way south ard she arrived looking like new ship instead of one which had been lying in the bottom of the ocean for over a year. She has been converted into an oil burner and when she re- sumes the run about the middle of March she will be operated on what is known as the West Coast Accom- odation run, operating between Seat. tle Juneau and Sitka by way of the west coast.
 Among the freighters, the Juneau Valdez. and the Admirals Clark and Sebree will be new boats just having been purchased on the Atlantic coast The two latter are being operated in the sugar trade betwen New York and the West Indies but will be brought to this coast shortly
 The Bennington and Burlington. which are Co be renamed the Juneau and Valdez are being rebuilt and ov- erhauled at New York in readiness to come to the Pacific as soon as the Canal opens.
 The Admiral Evans and Admiral Farragut are now in good shape and possibly will not be overhauled. The Admiral Watson is being overhauled and will be spick and span when she returns to the northern route shortly.

the days receipts at the club.
Sutton pleaded guilty to the indictment
and the other three were placed on trial.
Mcdonald offered an alibi and brought
witnesses to say that. he was at his home
at the time Of the occurrence. To break
down this testimony the government
quashed the indictment against Schweit-
ger, who drove the automobile which took
the boys to the scene of the hold-up. and
placed him on the witness stand. He tes-
titled against Mcdonald, but exonerated
HUFF. Justice Gould then directed the
acqufttal of HUFF and the jury was left
to dispose only of the charge against Nc
Donald. The jurors held him guilty.
Assistant United States Attorney Leahy
conducted the prosecution. Mcdonald
was represented by Attorneys Havell &
Hawken, while Attorney Henry l. Quinn
appeared for Huff and Attorney Michael

facturers and jobbers very much higher
prices. Before. January l. 1916. current
market prices ranged generally between

statement says, was less than $33 per

these average costs were slightly lower

1913 to 1915"
Some materials increased, including
sulphite and ground wood but most of
the paper manufacturers produced
others were protected by contracts.
Other materials which increased, ac-

man in the command showing any
i'll effects as the result of the two-day
march, the Sd Regiment, D. C. N. G.. at
the head of the provisional brigade,
composed of regiments from National
Capital, West Virginia and Mississippi,
Florida Field Hospital and Regular
Ambulance Company, arrived here early
this afternoon and went into camp at
Landas Park, about a mile from the
town.
Several men of the regiment were
forced to discontinue marching be-
cause of sore feet, and were riding in
ambulances and escort wagons when
the column reached here, but other
wise the command was in the best of
shape. Although the last lap of the
trip was made in, good time the prog
ress of the column was not as rapid as
yesterday, for the men were stiff as
result of sleeping on the ground In
small shelter tents.
