PACKERS THREATENED WITH RECEIVERSHlP
 BY SMALL HOLDERS

MINNEAPOLIS, March 31. Or dered to show cause before April 18th why a receiver should not be appoint ed until the ownership of their prop critics, including the townsite of Pet tersburg, Alaska, shall be determined, the Pacific Coast and Norway Packing Company, with it's related companies, and the Seattle Trust Company, are cited by Judge Bardwell, of the Hen nepin County Court in an injunction issued today. The suit against the companies was started by group of minority stockholders under the lead ership of Joseph Kilkale, of Seattle. The plea asserts that the Norway Packing Company went into the hands of a receiver in 1914; that through an order of the court the property was leased to the Petersburg Packing Company, the officers and directors of the Norway Company transferring the property to the Seattle Trust Com pany in order that it might be turned over to the Petersburg Packing Com panv. The Court is asked to return the property to the Norway Company, the suit alleging that the Petersburg Packing Company made money enough to pay it's debt to the Norway Company, but failed to do so.

SN00SE HABIT HOLDS MANY
 IN ITS THRALL
Old- Habit Is Now Strong With Settlers
 in the North
GREAT QUANTITY IS USED
New Style Methods Save Faces of Those Who
 Partake

Persons who entertain the notion that snuff taking, as pleasant ana doggy" diversion of the era or powder and patches, has long since vanished along with periwigs and knee brooches, would come in for a jolt of surprise if they could take a peep at the order lists and bills of lading of a certain Cordova gro- cery. That in and about Cordova ana the Copper River Valley there are consumed every month 5,76O boxes of this amazingly soul-satisfying ar ticle is a discovery not without US interest. The use of tobacco, it ap- pears. has undergone some changes of fashion of late years. It's not the regular thing nowadays to chew rom a plug. That, it is discovered, IS an operation having certain trouble some and unrefined features It IS not as convenient as it might De- a plug being rather bulky article, and disfiguring to the physiognomy, besides. Only the old "hard-bo1led among the gentry, no longer sensltlVe as to their personal charms, rejoice nowadays in the turbid exudations of Black Joe. Far more to the man. ner is it to carry in ones vest pock- ct the neat, round pill-box in which, oti fNunH pact form the concentrated essence of nicotine known familiarly and euphoniously as "snoose."
 There is a difference, too, in the style of taking. No longer is it de riguer to be conspicuous about it. Quite out of date is the Old-and, it is admitted, somewhat mussy!-habit of shipping obviously between the thumb and index finger a minute pinch and, by that furtive and adept motion of the two hands and nos trils, powder ones nasal appendage inside and out! Oh, mo- The thing now is to chew 1.-the snuff, not the appendage! A small pellet, deftly deposited behind the neither lip in close proximity to the lower bicus- slightly knobs are produced on the countenance, no smudgy array Of pollen, as though the nose had been plunged into some prolific posy, dis colors the proboscis! On the con trary the material is disposed of with neatness and dispatch in a quarter where none but the partici- pant is aware of it, system ad- mittedly pleasanter alike to actor and beho1der.
 That the habit has it's devotees is attested by the number of boxes i'm ported every month by the Cordova house that distributes the articles through this section of Alaska. How many of the pill-boxes are emptied every day throughout the Territory is, therefore, startling to compute, for the habit is general It is indulged largely by the foreigners and natives but is by no means confined to them snuff-taking being an art practiced by many of the American gentry.
 Hardly less surprising as to quan- tity, though not as to fact, is the consumption of cigarettes. For the stock of this one grocery company alone there are shipped in on every boat three staple brands of cigar cites to the number of 300,000 Counting on four boats month there are distributed and consumed in Cordova and the surrounding ter ritory at least 100000 of the little white "coffin nails!"
 And still the death- rate in Alaska is low!

HART MADE DEED, SAYS DIST. ATTORNEY
 DESPITE HIS DENIAL

DENVER, March 31.-In spite ot his emphatic denial that he had made a settlement of $50 month in favor of a child alleged by it's mother to have been the son of William S. Hart, the moving picture actor is declared to have made such settle ment, in statement issued today by Thomas Lee Woolwine, District Attorney of Los Angeles. The set clement was made, asserted the Dis trict Attorney, after the mother of the child, a young woman of Boston, had engaged an attorney to bring a civil action against Hart.

many of his former concerns. Red Dragons have ceased to be red, and, outwardly at least the riotous are no more.
 Who shall say that we have fallen on evil days? Shall it be the ghosts that turk there in the shadows, peer ing out with wondering eyes upon the peaceful scene? There is the boy because he "had to get at a piano" played Brahms and Chopin for twenty four hours at a stretch while the Dragon gentry gathered round en- thralled, and then with farewell wave of the hand, mushed back again. And there is the handsome and inebri- ate Captain, who used to lurch in of evening, abstract volume of Kipling or Stevenson from the Dragon shelves and lurch out again, and who, after having cut his own throat in a drunken de- lirium. quoted Patrick Henry with grim humor And there is the thin and wiry cowboy lad from down Ari- zona-way, with the marks of the spurs still fresh on his high-heeled boots, who toted wood for the Dragon to pay for a meal, and then sat on the hearth and wrote perfect Alexandrine verse. Shall the ghosts of these find fault with the quietude that has fallen on the place? Shall the rois- terers and strays? I think not. For whether or not they knew 1t, the thing their souls were seeking then through book and pencil and key, through bill Hard game and fistic bout, is the thing that is here today in the Dragons twilight. Sincerity, beauty and truth out of the turbulence of the old days the spirit of these persists. And if sometimes in the colorlessness of ultra-respectability one is moved to lament the passing of more vivid times, there is balm in the knowledge that the essence remains, that vital pigment which, through all the days, tinges with ruddy hue the eternal cur rent of life.
