British Reply
Asks Irish To
Confer Again

Inverness, Scotland, Sept. s.
Official confirmation that the
British cabinets reply to the latest
note from Eamonn Devalera, the
Irish leader, which was dispatched
to Dublin last evening invites rep
resentatives Of the Sim Fein to q
further conference, was given here
today.
Dublin, Sept. S.-Signs Of conf
dence were again apparent among
the Sim Fein leaders here today.
They have received knowledge OF
tn contents of Prime Minister
Lloyd-George's reply to canon De-
Valena, which will be made pub
lie here tonight at the same time
that the note is given out by the
British. So far as could be judged
the Irish leaders were not disturb
ed or surprised by Mr.. Lloyd
Georges communication
The Sim Fein leaders have
been showing some irritation at
what they call Misrepresentation
in the British and American press
of their position in the negotia-
tions. The elaborate arguments in
their notes and In the Irish Bull
letin, they declare, were not in
tended to convey the impression
that they had rejected dominion
statute and insisted on separation.
Their willingness to enter the
British commonwealth on salts
factory teriss they say they con-
slider to have been plainly indi-
Gated.
The substitution of direct YER
bal argument, face to face with
the British ministers, for ex-
change of notes would be well
coined, the Sim Fein leaders de-
clare.

 From a canvass of the local situa- tion, so far there seems that there may be difficulty in securing two teams from Gastineau Channel, but that it. may be possible to get one.
 Tentative arrangements have been started towards getting the team to. gether and to have an excursion to Whitehorse following the tournament. Many balls players and others have expressed a desire lately to make the Whitehorse trip. " A

BLACK LISTS OF ,. FRANCE FURNISH
 SWEDISH PROTEST
COPENHAGEN.

COPENHAGEN. Sept l4.-In Scandinavian circles there is grow ing feeling against the keeping up by France of her Black Lists, establish ed by law of February 15. 1917 These lists keep Scandinavian firms from doing legitimate business with their old customers, not only German customers, but firms in Scandinavia firms of high repute and standing.
 Financial and commercial circles in Stockholm and Copenhagen are now attempting to put pressure on the Swedish and Danish governments to move in this matter and demand of France the repeal of this war act.
 In some circles there exist even a tendency toward retaliation against France because, 1t is alleged here, French firms are actually dealing di- rect with German and blacklisted firms at the same time the French ies from doing the same. .I
 In insurance circles the feelings may be gauged from the tenor of the following quotation from the official Scandinavian insurance journal: We consider it great impertinence that the names of highly respected Sean dinavian companies-insuran and otherwise-today, nearly three years after the signing of the Armistice still figure on the French Black Lists as a punishment for conducting their business on strictly neutral lines We know that prominent French in surers look eye to eye with us 1T this matter and feel ashamed thai their country is keeping up a meas ure abandoned long ago by America England, Italy and her other partner in the great war.

FIRE DESTROYS POWER
 PLANT AT HUMP BACK
(Cordova T'imes.J

The power plant of the Alaska Public Utilities at Humpback was to- tally destroyed by fire and the loss is estimated at $20.O0O, which is partially covered by insurance. Man uel Swanson, who was in charge of the plant, was absent at the time. His wife and Miss Thelma Mcconnell were in an adjoining room and about o'clock 1t began to fill with smoke. They immediately rushed into the en zine room, which was also dense with smoke, and blaze raging in the rear of the switchboard. In q short time the entire building was enveloped in flames and burned to the ground, destroying all the ma chinery.
 H. w. Hawes, watchman at the Orca cannery. saw the smoke Issuing from Humpback and immediately started for there in small boat. In the meantime Swanson returned home and as soon as the CordOva of flee was notified, MT. Greene sent a relief crew to the scene of the dis aster. Hawes brought Mrs. Swan son and Miss Mcconnell to Orca.
 Through the efforts of the fire fighters they kept the flames iron spreading to the oil tanks and alst two dwellings some little distance away. The building occupied by th' Swansons and which adjoins the pow CT plant was burned. together witt all of the personal belongings of thu occupants The fire is believed t' have started from a short circuit il l the rear of the switchboard. As MT Mcconnell is now in Seattle it is no known definitely whether the plan
 will be rebuilt. but the probabilitie
 are that it will. In the meantime tn auxiliary plant at the foot of

DAWSON MAN RAISES
 FIRST TOBACCO IN YUKON
(DawsOn NeWs.)

The first tobacco to be raised in the Yukon is the accomplishment of one of Dawson's sourdoughs. Jack Tremblay, old time pioneer, is the man. The tobacco was grown in the small garden on the corner of Trird Avenue and Harper Street. It was planted on the tenth of June and ripened just in time to be put on display with other Yukon prod ucts on Di iscovery Day. Several people may have, seen it at the grounds, but did not realize that it was a home product.
 The plant is about four feet high and brown in color It was started entirely from seed which was i'm ported from Havana. The plant now Is in a dark room, where it must remain for three weeks. The only care is to see that it is turned over every three or four days so that it will be cured uniformly After that time it is cut up and is then ready for use MT. Tremblay is confident that it will surpass all smoking mixtures ever produced and is anx ious to see more trials made mex year. During the growth from thu seed to the full plant very little at tention is necessary, and for a frs attempt the result is encouraging

B. 6. SALMON
 -.-- PACK IS LOW
Season Has Been One of the Worst in the History of
 i Fishing Industry.

With an estimated pack to date of 4O8,b14 cases, the British Columbia salmon output this year promises to be one of the smallest on record, and less than half of that of 1920, when it totalled 1.1S7,616 cases, says the Vancouver Province of last Saturday. Sockeye fishing is over for the season, and this species packed 15S,- 793 cases, having a market price of $2, ,800,000 The selling value of the remaining varieties would approxi- mate $2,OOO,OO0 The pack in detail is as follows:

 No chums Packed
 It has been a most disappointing season for the D canneries which de- voted their energies principally to l packing sockeye. The latter totalled ] 158,793 cases as compared with a the difficulty experienced in market ! ing the cheaper varieties no effort was made to pack chums and pinks ] in large quantities. In previous years chums and pinks contributed a large proportion of the salmon pack.
 While the market is again ready 70 receive these cheaper fish the can ners, because of arrangements com pleted at the beginning of the seasOl, find themselves confronted with a scarcity of cans As result, al though chums, springs and echoes will continue to run for another six weeks, only small percentage will be caught for the canneries. Fifty thousand cases. it is stated, will com prise the output from this source. Outlook Not Bright
 It has been losing game for the canners this time. poor run of sockeye, and the canners' own ar engagement to curtail the pack of otb I CT varieties, contributed to make the season one of the worst in the his tory of the business.
 A comparison shows that 1926 with a pack of 1.187,6l6 cases. ranked sixth in packs of the last 20 years The smallest heretofore occurred iI 1904, of 465 1894 cases.
 The outlook on the Fraser River is far from bright, and bears out the opinion of cannerymen that there is little likelihood of that salmon stream ever being restored to 1t! once proud position. This should have been a big year for sockeye or the Fraser. calculating on the basis of 0ur-year cycles since 1915. whel the disaster occurred at HelPs Gatt Canyon. For that year the sockey' pack on the Fraser amounted to 6S4, 596 cases and four years later thu pack had dwindled still further t' 33.819 cases.
