FISH PRICES

The price on halibut at noon to- day at Seattle is quoted over the wire at lG& cents. If this wire is right there has been a drop of II cents per pound on halibut on the last quoted price. which was some thing over week ago. when 1t was 27 cents. On December 3d. more was being paid at Ketchikan than the price quoted In Seattle today It may be possible that heavy ar. rivals from the banks has caused 6 surplus on the market and has forced the price down and there ifs a possibility that the quotation is wrong. -,s

 The still was found on Mica Peak, twenty-s seven miles southeast of this city, and its whereab bouts was tip ped off to the officers following a series of disturbances in the dis. trict, supposedly as the result of disagreements among the alleged "moonshiners.

HERE TO INSPECT
RECRUIT OFFICE

Colonel L. C. Bennett of Aberdeen,
S. D., who has command of this re-
cruiting district, examined four men
at the army recruiting station when
in the city this morning and inspect
ed the work Of the local Office. The
recruits will leave tonight for Jeffer-
son Barracks, Mo. Il
Colonel Bennett commended the
work of the Grand Forks station
and stated that recruiting in the dis
trict has been brisk during Decem-
Der. Sixty men were enlisted by the
fifteenth of the month.
Panama Opportunities.
The excellent opportunities offered
in various branches of regular army
service in Panama were emphasized
by Colonel Bennett. It is pointed out
that with the sending of few thou
sand more army men to Panama the
opportunities for advancement will be
unusually good and this is coupled
with the chance offered recruits to
spend three years in a warm climate
and see much of Central America.
Recruiting officers declare that
many men are enlisting for service
business openings in Central and
South America. These men enlist
with view to spending three years
in the service where they will have
| an opportunity to learn . the native
language and become accustomed to
! business conditions.
Many of these men plan to profit
| by the judgment of some of the best
known business men in the east that
! trade conditions with South Amer
| ica will within a few years offer an
opportunity for thousands Of Ameri-
| cans to enter business there with ex-
| cellent prospects.

New York. Dec. 2o.-with preper-
ations rapidly being completed at Ell
lis Island for deportation OF hun
dreds of radicals, q. band of sixty
nine more reds from Pittsburgh
arrived today in Jersey City. They
were loaded onto q barge and towed
down the harbor. Preparations were
'Red specials" one from Buffalo and
the other from Philadelphia.
Harry Weinberger, counsel for Em-
ma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man, declared that all his requests
to Anthony Caminetti, commissioner
general of immigration, for informA-
ton as to when his clients would be
deported, had been unanswered.
'aThey expect the government to
keep its promise to deport them not
later than Monday" he added.
Mr.. Caminetu also has failed to re-
ply to requests that wives of de-
portees be permitted to accompany
them, according to Weinberger, and
Ellis Island officials have refused to
consent to a general visiting day be-
fore the anarchists are deported.
Weinberger today asked Attorney
General Palmer that Jacob Abrams.
Samuel Lipman, Mollie Steiner and
Hyman Lechawsky be deported, to
Russia instead of being sent to the
Atlanta penitentiary to serve sen.
tences of 20 years for violating the
espionage law.

Lipman, it was explained by Vein
berger that he was the fiance of
Ethel Bernstein, one Of three wom-
en- anarchists awaiting deportation
at Ellis Island. Lpman is on his
way from New Orleans to be surren-
dered.
Miss Bernstein, who is 21 years
old, is almost crazy at the idea. of
