THE CONSUMERS CO.-The fol-
lowing, my experience with the Con-
sumers Co., may be of some benefit
to your readers. In August ordered
and paid for three tons of coke at the
offices Of the Consumers Co. and
mentioned for August delivery. AS
mo fuel was delivered in that month
at my house went to them again,
receiving promisessof delivery, which
were lies. l went there numerous
times thereafter, begging that the
fuel be delivered and at one time was
told Tin OctOber) that they would re-
fund my money, to which 1 would not
agree. At another time one of the
employees there told me insOlently
that it would do me no good to be
calling there so often and that I
would have to wait until they will be
ready to deliver the coke. At an
other time was invited to wait while
the clerk would telephone to the
yards, and, after l had waited about
one hour and inquired again, was
told that this clerk was out to lunch.

A PROMISE
 |S EFFECTED
BETWEEN THE REPUBLICAN, FACTIONS AT
 JUNEAU.
ONLY ONE PRIMARY
WITH TWO TICKETS HEADED BY oHACKLEFORD AND
 RUSTGARD.

JUNEAU, March 11.--Represen- tatives of the two republican fac tions about which report was made yesterday, met last evening and effected a compromise whereby one primary election will be held at the city hall at which every republican will be allowed to vote.
 It is said that two tickets will be put in the field with two sets of candidates for election to the convention. One will be known as the "Shackleford'' ticket and the other the "Rustgard" ticket.
 The rumor circulated about town that Shackleford would endorse Wickersham for delegate at the coming election, is not denied by Shackleford himself. On the other hand, Rustgard says that he favofs Wickersham provided that there are no strings on the delegate. How ever, Rustgard has intimated that if the deal credited to Shackleford and Wickersham is consummated at Seward, he shall be an independent candidate for delegateship.
 At Douglas, M. J. O'Connor, who has always been an anti-Wicker- sham man and was one of Shackle ford's lieutenants, is working with Rustgard. Other anti-Nickersham men at Douglas are still working with Shackleford, and apparently a1e pledged for Wickershann.
 It is expected that a heavy vote will be cast at both Juneau and Dougas.

FISHING SCHOONER
 INDEPENDENT IN PORT

The fishing schooner Independent arrived in port from the fishing banks today on her way to Seattle carrying considerable of a load of halibut.
 When the first officer was asked the reason why the load was not disposed of here, he replied that this trip was made to Seattle for the purpose of. overhauling the boat preparatory to the usual yearly in- spection.
 Speaking of the prospect of sell ing the fish here, the first officer said that he hoped such could come to pass, and added, "Look what money would be left here in Ket- chikan if we could dispose of our fish here. One of the trips we made to Prince Rupert, our expense amounted to nearly $3,000 for fuel and provisions. All this would have been dumped into the coffers of the business men here"
