YUKON CANNERY WILL NOT CEASE
 ARRIVAL AYERS

Regardless of the vigorous pro- tests of Interior Alaskans against the continued operation of the Car lisle cannery at the mouth of the Yukon river, to which is attributed the present shortage of salmon throughout the districts tributary to the river, the cannery will re- |sume operations as usual this sea- son, as soon after the opening of navigation as conditions will permit.
 This information, which will prove a decided disappointment to those aware of the harm done by the cannery, was brought to Nenana by Walter Scott, who arrived from the States several days ago, and who says that contracts have been let for supplies and all arrangements made for an early start.
 The company, as usual, will send in large part of the force neces- sary to operate the cannery, and d number of Outside fishermen also will come in. as was the case last summer, when the contract men were given all the best of it by the company.

MONTESANO CASE DRAWS ID CLOSE:
 ID JURY FRIDAY

MONTESANO, March II. - The trial of Centralia wobbles on the charge of murder in connection with the Armistice day massacre is draw ing to close rapidly now and should reach the jury not later than tomorrow night. Judge Wilson is preparing his instructions to the jury today, and there remains only one witness to be produced by the defense in re-rebuttal, after which the arguments will commence. They probably will consume the greater part of tomorrow.
 Spectators are betting all kinds of ways on the outcome-on the verdict, on the length of time the jury will be out. and on the attitude of various of :he jurymen. The general belief is that the decision of the jury will be a quick one or that there will be a long fight in the juryroom.
 Three witnesses, testifying for the state yesterday in rebuttal. declared tha, the paraders were resting when the shooting started and that the ranks were not broken until the marchers had been fired upon.
