prevented the bout was the division
of money.
Fulton demanded that he receive
the same amount of money he was to
get for boxing Willard in New Orleans,
this being $500. The champion re-
fused to box for the remaining

 What is to be said of this latest arrest?
 Mr Madsen well all interested union men, must realize that water front thuggery has been the greatest bar to business settlement of the existing strike that the logic of the situation has led the pub lie to believe that the strikers responsible for the outrages.
 But the troubles have multiplied that disavowas will no longer suffice to quiet suspicion.
 be plain to the strike leaders that further deeds of violence and incendiarism will only make a favorable settlement of the strike more remote The strikers themselves their leaders should be most vitaly interested in suppressng violence They have pickeed the and members of the longshoremens union are patroIling front day and night and their opportunities protecting the peace are very great.
 If any disnterested parties "buttng into" the quarrel and setting fire to docks and assaultng nonunon workers for diversion, hined by MT. Madsen, the strikers in excellent position prevent it.

The Progressive-M Miner desires to remind its readers that the time is not far distant when the opportunity to display Alaska's products at the Seattle exposition will be here. Such opportun- ity comes only once in a great while, figurative- ly speaking, and when it comes it should not be missed, because it is to the country's advantage, provided always that we want help to develope it. Which we do.
 A display of that which we can grow, or sam ples or minerals from Alaska exposed to the gaze of thousands upon thousands or curious, is bound to have some results, such as bringing men in the territory which is just what we need more people. A display of that kind is to our advantage to the same extent that a display i'll large window, or a large advertisement in a newspaper is to merchant.

CAN YOU BEAT TT?

Yesterday in looking over our exchanges we came across an article in the Seattle Times of August 19, in which it is stated under the head of "U. s. GUARDS NIETLAKATLA INDIANS that the Marshal at Juneau had been notified by the court of appeals to proceed to Metlakatla and stop the operation of certain fish trap; and in part says "To enforce this ruling, a certified copy of the order will be sent to Juneau, Alaska, and the United States Marshal there will be obliged to travel 1000 miles by boat, the island being this distance from the telegraph station, to serve the notice on the fishermen"
 If we had come across this statement in an Eastern newspaper, we would have been inclin- ed to overlook it, because the ignorance of the eastern people in matters Alaskan, is well known but to read that in the Seattle Times, is too much Not that the article can mislead any of the people of that city, but in view of the fact
