EXCURSION WILL BE GIVEN
 SUNDAY

The regular annual excursion to Miles Glacier, given by the Copper River & Northwestern Railway to it's employees, will be held Sunday.
 These excursions are primarily for the pleasure of the employees, but for the benefit of the Cordova peo- pie, the railroad carries others not in it's employ for $500. which is half the regular excursion rate.
 These excursions always are popu- lar, and the city usually is depopu- lated on that day, as everybody in the north. always enjoys the trip to the glacier It is expected that this year the number of persons will be unusual, ly large, as there are hundreds here who never have seen the glacier in action.

FREIGHT RATES TO ANT|P0DES
 HIGH

SYDNEY, Australia, July 20. - The war has driven up freight rates from 200 to 400 per cent on Australian i'm ports. In many instances freight Is more than initial cost of goods. Be- sides freight, additional charges have now to be met for war risks and ex- change, while first costs have great ly increased owing to the scarcity of raw materials, shortage in shipping, labor difficulties and congestion at ports of export.
 Rates from the United States are proportionately more than those from any other part of the world. For canned salmon, for example, the freight from San Francisco to Sydney was about sS before the war, whereas it is now $30.
 From New York rates have gone up from $1O to approximately $50. Shipowners naturally find more profit in sending a vessel three or four times across the Atlantic than in send inc her once to Australia in given time.
 Prior to the war the ordinary charge upon shipments of American hard ware was between $7 and $S per cubic foot, but now from $50 to $6O is de manded. The rates on lumber from the American Pacific slope have trebled. Those on oregon pine from Puget Sound are at this stage about $25 per 1000 superficial feet. Before the war they were about $S.
 Many thousand tons of cargo for Australia are reported as lying on wharves in the United States, and by every mail manufacturers are stress ing the difficulty in getting merchan' disc shifted to ports for shipment.

PORTO RICO NOW HAS MODERN
 LAW

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 21.- The Workmen's Relief Commission, appointed by Governor Yager. to car " out the provisions of the new work mems compensation law, has issued schedules of rates which went into effect on July 1.
 Many employers, particularly the proprietors of sugar centrals, how ever, consider the rates applicable to their employees too high and have signified their intention of exercising their option of rejecting insurance under the law, taking their chances of settling injury damage claims either in or out of court.
 The rates provided by the commis. sion run from a fraction of one per cent to four per cent for the more haz. ardous occupations.
 The new law has been pending for more than five years, and during pre- vious sessions was vigorously opposed by the employers, Its passage is con sidered a distinct victory for the la bor element of the island and is looked upon as one of hte most constructive upon as one of the most constructive occupation.

 Before the government would ac- cept title to the land 1t was neces- sary that all these instruments be filed, all of which must be paid for by the donor.
