MEASURING NEWS RECEIVED
 AS TO SHIPPING CONDITIONS

Because of the longshoremen's strike in Seattle there has been much confusion with reference to Alaska shipments this summer, and much freight has been delayed. Local merchants on the whole have not fared so badly as might have been anticipated, but there is still considerable freight to be re ceived which should have been safely in the warehouses weeks ago. Similar condi tions prevail at Fairbanks, and the general anxiety prompted the News Miner of that city to wire its Seattle correspondent to in vestigate shipping conditions in Seattle and see how much freight was on the dock for Fairbanks and how and when it was likely to be shipped, together with other desired information Under date of August , the following telegram was received, which will be of interest to Iditarod shippers also:
 Seattle, Wash Aug. }, 1916 "News Miner, Fairbanks:
 Have made thorough investigation of shipping conditions at all wharves. Find virtually no freight awaiting shipment to to 1 airbanks According to positive state mentS of the White Pass officials and steam ship lines, this Investigation is corroboraed.
 There was a considerable accumulation of freight for Fairbanks prior to the sailing of the steamship Victoria yesterday after noon. but that boat closed up practically everything. The greater part of her cargo is for Fairbanks and Yukon river points.
 "However, there are number of ship ments of perishables, such as apples pota toes, eggs, etc., which have been ordered shipped on the last sailing by way of St.. Michael but these goods are not on the docks.
 General Agent Burnside, representing the White Pass and American-Yukon Naviga tion Company, Will be able now to handle all freight offered.
 "Ihe Alaska Steamship Company will dispatch the steamship Victoria for St.. Michael on one more trip this year, elso the steamships Latouche and Eureka. If nee essary, the steamship Valdez will make a trip to St. Michael. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company will dispatch one more ship to St. Michael The last sailing via St. Michael will be August 2S, according to present plans.

During his career as a collector of tough debts he has received rates ranging from 25 to 135 per cent He made this statement on the wit ness stand in court when he was summoned to testify The court asked him how he happened to get l35 per cent, and he ex- plained: You see, it was this way. man in Dawson gave me bill oI SlOO to collect He told me to get the money If l was forced to thrash the man that owed it, and he agreed to pay my fine if dd It, He also told me that 1 could keep all l could collect on it. l did thrash the man, but got the money. Finally he had me arrested for assault and battery, and l was fined $35, which 1 paid The man to whom the bill was owed then made good his word and gave me $35 Thus I got 135 per cent for collecting the bill.
