WILL PAY BY CHECK

Fairmont, Aug. 28.-Since high
waymen held up paymaster at
townsville, w. Va, at the point of
revolvers and stole $4,000 coal OPP
orators of northern West Virginia
are considering the adyisability OF
paying miners by checks.
The Hutchinson Coal company
Fairmont was the first of the lar
ger companies to announce the
change in system Of paying. Every
man will he paid that way that will
accept checks.
Miners always wanted cash and
the coal companies did not want to
oppose them. This plan will make
professional highwaymans visits
here futile.
Operators say paving by check
will give an absolute receipt, is
more economical because OF payroll
insurance mounting since the crime
wave, encourage the miners to start
bank accounts and stop carrying
large sums of money on their per-
son, as well as protect paymasters
who are fearless and may attempt
to rout bandits who have the drop
on them and sacrifice their own live

Joey McBiff was a battler, fightin' a

Kept shootin' gloves into Joey,

JOHN 1. CARLSON
 TO PACK so,o0o CASES SALMON
Aux Harbor Cannery Will Start Operations Soon
 Web Being Strung.

Plans for pack of 30,000 cases of salmon are being made by the John L. Carlson cannery at Aux Harbor, few miles north of Juneau according to John L. Carlson, the owner. MT. sCarlson said today that the cans and other material on hand from last season will be used up this year. and that good run of fish is anticipated
 B. T. Weyand, assistant to MT Carlson in the management of the plant is with the company again this year and said today that all the company traps at Shelter Isl and and Icy Straits are now in place and work at stringing web was started today All floating traps are used.
 1 ,. A crew of men have been working at the plant for the past month and eight more Filipinos are expected on the Alameda and will be taken to Aux Harbor on the Tender Golden Gate.
 Canning, according to MT. Weyand will probably start between the fifteenth and twentieth of this month and continue until the total of 30, 900 cases have been filled. MT. Carlson, the owner of the Taku Harbor plant, is one of the veteran cannery men of the north, having started the Carlson cannery in Taku Inlet more than twenty years ago. He later took over the Taku Harbor cannery which he sold several years ago to Libby, McNeil and Libby, after which he built his Aux Harbor plant. Although not al present seeing much of a market for his product, MT. Carlson is op tmistic as to the outlook and de cided to use up his cans and other supplies rather than let them lie idle.

SAILORS PROVE GREAT HOSTS
 AT THE DANCE
Officers and Men of Explorer Give Dance that Was Much
 Enjoyed by the Crowd.

What has been pronounced by all who attended, one of the most en joyable dances of the year was the one given last evening by the off cers and men of the Coast and Geo detic Survey ship Explorer, compli mentary t.. the citizens of Gastineau Channel, at the Parish hall.
 Every member of the crew of the boat cooperated in giving the dance and the hall was beautifully deco. rated with the flags of the interna tional code, the national ensign and the Coast Survey flag. A crowd that taxed the capacity of the hall danced to the strains of Woofter's orchestra until this morning People attended from every point on Gastineau Chan nel and all had nothing but praise for the way the dance was con ducted and the pains that were taken by members of the crew of the Ex plorer to make them have good time.
 The members of the crew of the Explorer have asked The Empire to convey their thanks to those in charge of the Parish hall for the use of it for the occasion.

Men Of Science Beginning to Believe
They Know Something Con.
corning the Subject.

The first successful attempt to
measure stellar distances was Aa&de
in 1888 by Bessel, who determined the
parallax of 81 Cygni, little star OF
the sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by it's great proper
motion of five seconds of arc year.
At the beginning of the present cen
tury 40 or so parallaxes had become
known and in recent years progress
in measurement has become very
rapid. Greenwich observatory report
the determination of the parallaxes o
80 stars a year, while some American
Observatories are doing even more.
American astronomers have in prepa
ration a catalogue giving the paral-
lakes of 1900 stars and it is expected
that within a very few years the dis
tances of all stars visible to the naked
eye in the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well a.
those of many fainter stars. The
narallaxes are determined by both
trigonometric and spectroscopic meth
DDS, while a third method can be ap-
piled to macy double stars.
