ASKS DISMISSAL OF CASE

Judge James Wickersham this week filed motion for dismissal of suit started by him against the secre- tary, treasurer and others from re- ceiving certain moneys appropriated by the legislature. No reason was given for the procedure.
 According to statement made by Secretary Karl Thiele, the money which was held up by the suit will now be available for the pay of cler- icle hire and others in the offices of the Governor and Secretary.
 This ends for the time being the fight by the Progressive Wing oi Republicans for the eection of cer. tain officers in the Territory.

Salmon Prices in East

Mild cured salmon while not a popular fish on the Pacific Coast, is tidbit relished by customers to the extent of paying as high as 50 to 60 cents a pound.
 The top market price for the fish stored and salted in S25-pound casks, is 35 cents pound in Seat tie. Fishermen who supply the firm with it's fish from the Neah Bay and British Columbia fishing grounds, receive IS. cents pound for their catch.
 The public knows very little about mild cured salmon. **Only extra large, red-feshed salmon are used. Smal sized reds and any sized white salmon are used for the fresh fish market. **The pack last year exceeded 14,00O,000 pounds.

New Salmon
 Company Forms

A short time ago when mass meetings were being held to protect the infant canning industry of Alas ka, a prominent canneryman de- clared that the canning interests were all going broke, that none of the companies were making money and that one could buy several can neries in this district for song.
 Skinner and Eddy seemingly are fools for buying several canneries; the Bank of California is such a philantropic institution that it lends money to canners just for the honor and pleasure of lending it's money to these poor little canning com panies in Alaska.
 P. E. Harris, president of P. E. Harris Co. after many years in the canning game along with R. B. Douglas and w. l.. Brown of Ju-- neau, have incorporated the Pre- mier Canning Company with head quarters at Cordova and offices in Seattle. The Premier Salmon Co.,, is capitalized at $100,0O0 and it's authorized capital stock issue is to consist of 1000 shares with a nomi- nal value of $10O.
 The Alaskan wonders just why it is these companies are formed and why others so heavily in debt and losing their millions just keep on in the losing game. Perhaps it is just to help the poor ignorant Alas kans to make laws for the benefit of the residents of Oregon, Washing ton and California.

New Treasury
 Bonds Sold

Cash subscriptions to the recent issue of Treasury bonds of 194347 have exceeded 1000, ac- cording to the latest reports reach ing the Department of Treasury from the Federal Reserve Banks
 The Treasury called for $200,0O0, 900, or whereabouts, so that the figures show subscriptions in excess of three to one of the Treasury re- quirements. The books on subscrip- tions to the cash issue were closed June 2.
 In a statement issued by the Se- cretary ofthe Treasury, Andrew w. Mellon, attention was called to the decision to leave the books open at least until June 15 on subscriptions to that part of the issue for which Second Liberty per cent bonds or Second Liberty A per cent converted bonds may be exchanged. No limitation has been placed on the amount of ex- changes which will be accepted, in- asmuch as the department has call ed the Second Liberty bonds for re- tirement as of November 15.

would equal the cost of the addi | tional oil that would be consumed in running the additional extra
 miles necessary to make the call. Ii is a question of maintaining the seasons schedule at all other points on the route by emitting Peters
 burg, as against trying to include calls at Petersburg and competely
 disrupting the schedule and being always late sailing from Seattle and at all other points and giving un- satisfactory service to 95 % or more of the patrons of the Alameda and Northwestern in order to give service to 5%o or less at Petersburg. We wish very much that the steam CTS had reserve speed so that they could make the Petersburg call and still maintain the schedule but we feel assured that it is impossible with the Northwestern and some what uncertain with the, Alameda making only one call per round trip.
 It would also seem really unne- cessary for our Southeastern Alas ka Route steamers to call north bound inasmuch as the Admiral Line Seward steamers are to call at Petersburg northbound and they are scheduled to sail from Seattle 10 o'clock every Wednesday morn ing, only 13 hours later than our Southeastern Alaska steamers sail It really would seem a waste of effort (and oil) for us to send the Alameda and Northwestern into Petersburg northbound only 13 hours behind the Admiral Lines Seward steamers and it would seem that their steamers sailing every Wednesday morning and calling at Petersburg northbound can amply take care of all northbound busi- ness into and out of Petersburg

 Bryant was convicted and sen- fenced to the Munroe reformatory by a King County superior court jury for the alleged theft of a dia- mond ring from Mrs. Dorothy Cleary of Seattle, who since then has become entangled in a. divorce action and indirectly in a $5O,0OO alienation affection suit.
 Prosecutor Colvin and his chief criminal deputy, Robert M. Burgun- der, both acted in behalf of young Bryant before the supreme court. sitting en banc. It was the first time in the history of the King County prosecutors office that the supreme court was asked to reverse it's own affirmation of a lower court conviction.

Lutherans An-
 nual Convention

The Fourth Internati0na COnven- tion of the Young Peoples League and the choral Union are going to meet for a five days convention in Seattle beginning June 18th. Sev- en special trains are bringing more than thousand people from the Northwestern States, many of whom are coming West for the first time in their lives. Sunday is the Big Day of the Convention, for in addi- tion to the choral Union concert in the evening, in which more than 1000 voices will take part under Melius Christianson of St. Olaf choir fame, accompanied by the sixty-piece Luther College Bani from Decorah, Iowa. Many speak CTS of nationa prominence will ap- pear on the days program.
 Monday evening at 8:15 the St. Olaf Choir is going to give a concert to hear. What this choir does is beautiful in the fullest meaning of the word. Here is what Glen Will lard in the Chicago Herald Exam iner says: ''The seasons greatest choral moment was provided in Orchestra Hall by the St. Olaf Lu- theran Choir under F. Melius Christ ianson. Their version of Bach'a "Sing Ye to the Lord" was not only the finest technical achievement I have ever heard in America, but one of the most beautiful example of ecclesiastical song in my experi- ence Its descriptive tumult of praise was indescribably uplifting. America has too little of it and Europe not much more"
 Anyone who has opportunity to attend this convention should do so It is the first of it's kind ever held in Seattle by our church.
