Knights Island lie Camp Operating Again
 Following Big Storm

Recent arrivals in Seward from Knights Island, where Oscar Ander- leased the tieecamp and mill from the Aleska Railroad state that following a recent inspection of the premises after the violent gale or tornado which swept down on the island a few weeks ago. the owners were quite fortunate that the loss entailed did not involve a considerable sum.
 So terrific was the storm that huge trees on the mountain side were torn out by the roots, about thirty feet of the mill was sliced off as if with a knife one of the bunk houses was picked up almost intact, including a stove in which fire was burning, and tossed many feet away on top of an other bunk house, both being burned later. A considerable amount of per- sonal effects in both these houses were lost by the employees.
 The big barge Lawrence which had eight lines on the dock and shore, were severed. Fortunately the barge was swept ashore instead of out to sea. The launch Alaska was tied by the side of the barge When the skip per noted the barge was adrift he cut the boat loose and in turn went ashore, Neither the boat or barge suffered any damage. The young cyclone did no damage to the dock, yet the approach to the wharf was twisted out of shape
 That portion of the camp destroyed and damaged has been completely re- built, it is reported, and operations are now under way once more. Twen- ty-four men are on the payroll in six fallers at work in the forest. About October 15 the barge Lawrence will be lowed over to Sew ard by the steamer Starr, loaded with about 10000 ties and an assortment of lumber.

PROTESTS ACTION
IN BAKING MERGER
Commissioner Thompson
Gives Opinion Dissenting
From Trade Boards View.

Action of the Federal Trade Com
mission in voting TO amend the COM
plaint issued last April against the
Continental Baking Corporation was
attacked in u dissenting opinion made
public today by Commissioner Thomp-
son. The complaint alleged acts
tending to a monopoly in the baking
industry through acquisition of other
baking companies, and Mr.. Thomp-
sons dissent was registered NoVem-
her 8, when the commission by
ma ajority vote decided to amend II
Ito include allegations of the viola
tion of the Clayton act by reason OF
other acquisitions Of stock, as re
ported by the commissions chlet eN-
aminer.
The effect of the commissions ac-
tion was held by Mr.. Thompson 10
mean the taking Of additional tesu-
monv and evidence by the examiner,
a step which he declared could result
only in unnecessary delay in the
prosecution of the case.
Report Made Public
Before announcement of Mr.. Thomp-
sons dissent it had been made
known that the commission intended
TO proceed with its investigation of
the case. but no formal announce
nrent had been made of the amend
ing of the complaint. Meanwhile,
however, the commission had made
public without comment a report or
its chief examiner recommending
that no action be taken at this time
into reported 100000 baking
merger involving the Continental
Pol
and the General Baking Co. on the
ground that sufficient evidence of
such a plan did not exist to war
rant further steps at this time.
In his dissent to the amendment of
the complaint against the Continental
company, Mr.. Thompson said that al
though it was issued last April. no
answer had been filed nor testimony
taken. Since April, however, the com
panv has added nine corporations to
the il it previously controlled, he as
serted, listing the new ones as fol
lows:
Corporations Added.
r. Is. Ward Co, Inc, Los Angeles,
Calf. with bakeries at Los Angeles,
Berkeley and San Diego.
New England Bakery Company.
Somerville, Mass, with bakeries in

Occident Baking Company. Mime

Ogden Baking Company. Ogden,
Utah, with a plant at ogden.
Butter Crust Baking Company. Salt

embrace these later acquisitions, he
held, was not required under even
the strictest rules of pleading

WANTS CATHOLIC OR JEW
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
James w. Gerard Hopes One of
Major Parties Will Aim
Blow at Intolerance.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 16.-James
w Gerard hopes that one of the
major parties will nominate either a
Catholic or Jew for President.
Presiding at a meeting of the Jew
iSh Tribune Forum last night, he
said such a nomination would do
away with the miserable spirit of in
tolerance which has grown up in the
land"
With the expression of his hopes,
the former Democratic Ambassador
TO Germany gave the following warn
ing: when any one race goes to a
political convention and demands
recognition for one man because of
this religion or that race, it is caus-
ing intolerance"

sidewalk in front of 3418 Prospect

THE NEW P R WAGON
It Looks Like the Harrison Band
Wagon.

Well It's got here.
In the heavens above, nor the earth
beneath, there's nothing like it. 1t
is painted red and green and has all
the modern improvements, such as
pistol grips, rubber butt, patent fore
end, rebOunding bar locks, ball bear
ing, spring frame, cushion tired, ex-
tension rib, has a host Of other
things and is choke bored. In fact,
it is just such a wagon as the angels
would like to ride in when they get
tired Of flying, and if you should ask
Bindewald whether he would trade it
for Elisha's fiery chariot, he would
promptly tell you nay. From this
time hence forth our expressman is
no longer The good-natured, obliging
lover of Kaiser William he once was
no, he is an a~ristocrat, and as such
should be treated.

THE STREET CAR LINE
Material is Delayed and Cars May
Not Be Running by the Fourth.

1t is with regret that we announce
that, in all probability, no cars will
be- in motion by the Fourth on the
street car line. Manager Ogden will
accomplish his part of the work, for
some time now he has had a force
of go men at work, and the surface
work will soon be practically COM
pleted. The rails are laid and spiked
from the depot to and beyond Nelson
Story's, and of the surface work there
only remains the putting down of the
track to the suburbs and perhaps a
little more work in ~ballasting that
part Of the road completed. The cars
were expected to arrive last night
The only thing that lis delaying the
work is the overhead work. The mer
are here to do this part but the mate
rial has been delayed and it will prob.
ably not arrive in time to be put Il
place by the 4th, as expected.

So in LIE

Charles Curtis and Ed. Alderson-r re-
turned Thursday from a seven weeks
prospecting trip in the mountains
near the headwaters of the West Gal
latin. They were unable to reach the
points desired on account of the great
depth of snow, which still remains n
the mountains in large drifts. The
Indian Greek pass into the park, as
well as the one at the head Ct the
West Gardiner, were found to be inn
passable owing to the snow, which,
on the 25th ult., was from one to 25
feet deep, where a great portion Of
it will likely remain until the warm
days of August. AS the Gallatin
river and tributaries r still very
high, the gentlemen returned by the
Ten Miner pass, from which trail the
snow had been previously shoveled
making it passable.
