SALMON MARKET STRONGER

An advance of more than twenty points in Alaska Packers shares last week at time when the company's fleet is wntering quietly on the Alameda flats and the salmon business is confined largely to getting ready for a new season, was accompanied by reports that the California Packing Corporation is preparing to make an exchange proposal to Alaska Pack ers' shareholders in an effort to acquire tho remaining 20 per cent of the salmon company $ stock. These reports, however, could not be confirmed.
 Strength in the Alaska Packers shares was attributed in some quarters to the improve ncnt in the salmon market and the belief that very satisfactory annual report would be presented to the stockholders at the approach ing annual meeting The company had a good pack in 1922, and the statistical position of the product today is much better than at any time in the last three years. The oversupply of pnks, which has been a burden on the mar lzet so long, has been all "ceaned up," thus placing "reds" in better position as well as the lower grades.--Ketchikan News.

US. MAGICIAN IN JAPANESE
 LEGAL SUIT

TOXIC, Jan. 26.-Charles J. Carter, an American theatrical magician, has filed suit in Tokio District Court against the White City Company, Y Minakawa. president,c and Y. kushi' biki, directors for damages amounting to $22,50o, charging breach of con- tract, and illegal detention of his property. The institution of this suit, whether or not judgment will be obtained, marks a victory for Carter, the first victory through legal channels that an American snowman has been able to get in Japan during the last several years. A large mum. Der of American actors and athletes are said to have been duped by Japanese promoters.
 Carter's company showed in Iokio and then travelled through western Japan. At the end of nine weeks, when his contract had half expired, he was released. Moreover, the company alleged that they had lost money on the attraction, filed suit for $2S,000 and turned over Carter's show property to an express com pany, which could not release them until the White Company consented, and they refused to consent Police seized the clothing and other pos sessions of the members of the Carter troupe, and they were left at Tokio hotel with only the things they had on.
 Due to legal action and aid from the American Embassy the prelim- mary court did not accept the case against Carter The only recourse then left the White City Company was retention of Carters' apparatus,

A good man is gone, No more

genial voice, his kindly banter,
his serious thought. For about
seventeen years he has gone IN

life known and read of all men
was noble example Of generoSi-

His deeds of benevolence were
never trumpeted abroad, but the
weak and needy and the suffering
knew the touch of his gentle hand.
There are many good aud
worthy men among us, but no
other one would be more badly
missed than Oscar Miner. Yes,
we shall miss him; but they, his
broken-hearted wife and family,
are left desolate and only the
Great Physician can pour heal
ing balm upon the wounds.
If all whom he assisted and ben
Gifted could whisper above his
grave, it would be a hymn sweet
or than amy that ever sounded
through cathedral halls. He is
gone. We cannot call him back.
Sron we too shall follow on. The
mystery of life and the shadow OF
death are the unbelievable Sc
crets of God. This only we know
God overruleth all, and "not
a sparrow falleth without His no.
tice." Our neighbor was beck

Sometime we may meet him face
to face,
When our days of life are DER,
And we are gathered one by one,
Safe on the heavenly shore.
