Contract Made By
 Van 0rsdan Is NC

MT. Peterson, attorney from Tacoma, Wash, arrived in Pe- tersburg Wednesday noon and met with the City Council to present and consider @ new draft of contract for sale of the pub lie utilities to the private con- cern. He declared 1t was mat ter of grave concern and regret that John P. Van Orsdall pre- Sented and signed contract for purchase of the utilities by the City; that he had exceeded his authority and his contract was not sanctioned by the company.
 A new draft of the contract presented provides that the Fo- shay company will retire the bonds serially in the amounts required by law plus interest; pay the sum of $10,000 earnest money which will apply on pur- chase price in event sale is okeyed by the electors and sale authorized by Congress.
 Other minor changes were made in detail of the contract company.
 to the advantage of the city and
 It is reported that MT. Peter son stated that in event the sale of the utilities fell through his company would not consider the purchase of the cold storage. In some quarters this is thought to be club with which to whip voters into line to work for the sale of the utilities.
 Notice of special election for sale of the utilities has been posted but owing to change in contracts, new notices will be posted next week when the council has completed the deal.

Mems Wear

Waldemar Kaemfort, director of the Rosenwald Industrial museum says: Mans enslave- ment to fashion will be broken by paper suits costing about $2 apiece and thrown away after about two weeks wear.
 "The f1bers will be made of pa per and will be spun like cotton or wool, then woven into attract i've patterns. A man will step into a clothes shop, where an ex- pert tailor will in 8 few minutes drape strips of paper about his form and then fasten them with fish glue.
 Such a suit-unlike a paper tissue towel-will be unaffected by rain and hold it's shape for at least two weeks"
 With the women getting more of their physical charms into the sunlight for health's sake, Il would seem proper that the men follow their lead. Might not be a bad idea if many of our ultra civilized men and women, went to the South Sea Island and oth- CT tropical points where there is more excuse for sun baths. IT the United States the sun batf gag gets the masculine Coueisn and ideas of christian science or (the go, too much.

Fishery Tangle

Hearing on an action brought by Indians of the Quinault Re- servation to prevent the Bakers Bay Fish Co.,. subsidiary of the Columbia River Packers Associ- ation, from restraining the In- dians from fishing on the seining grounds on Peacock Spit is scheduled to start in the federal court in Seattle, Friday of this week and the result of the action will be watched by all fishing interests operating land gear along the lower Columbia River The c. R. P. A. defence will be bolstered by intervention by the Barbey Packing Co.,. which op- crates SeineS on Sand Island According to H. J. Barbey, the decision in the present action which is based on claims of the Indians that treaty rights ob- tained in 1855 at the time they |ceded their land to the U. s. Government gives them the right to fish where they please, might effect the Sand Island grounds.
 Local Significance
 Judicial interpretation of the Indian claims will also play a part in the case of the State of Oregon vs David Baker, a half blood leader of the Taholah h. |dians, who is charged in the AS toria justice court with fishing in Oregon waters without an Oregon license, as a result of an attempt by the Indians to invade the Barbey seining grounds on Sand Island.
 Reports from Ilwaco where many of the tribesmen are To- cated during the fishing season are to the effect that the h. |dians, In event their full claims are sustained by the court, in- tend to invade not only seining grounds but many valuable trap locations.
 This legal action follows the attempt to get on the grounds a short time back, when the h. dians were repelled by the com pany fishermen.
 This legal action may have a considerable influence and scope It will be noted in time that the Alaska Indian never ceded his Continued on Page 5

Foshays at Ketchikan

From Ketchikan way comes reports of the doingsof the Fo- shay Company. Said report in dicates anything but satisfied public in the First City.
 The water rates, under the franchise just like Petersburg's, were left open. Under the bene- volent philanthropies of the re- presentative of the Power Trust in Alaska, water meters were or dered installed and the rates are said to be going up.
 That Los Angeles, bringing its water from over a hundred miles charging the rates it does is reasonable and proper. That the Foshay Company should have to raise their rates in Ketchikan lis unreasonable. Not with so much water and rain handy. Old Employees With the exception of one or two old employees all now on the force of the Foshay Company in Ketchikan are cheap eastern employees. Men who worked for $75 and $9O dollars think $125 a big wage.
 Electric Charges One Ketchikan resident had receipts in full for electric ser vices rendered his home. A short time ago he was presented with a bill in the sum of $8 as being due lon the line" He ob- Ijected most strenuously and showed his receipts in full o1 account. It all made no differ
 ence. The money was due or
 the ine-he could pay it or be
 cut off.
 Oh, yes! The Ketchikna citi.
 zens are anything but ticklee
 with the Foshay service in their public utilities.

Says Names Sufficient
LANCER said this morning that the
petitions filed yesterday contained
7,l89 names and that All additional
1000 names would be filed this after
noon.
He also announced that additional
petitions will be circulated to initiate
a law to take the place Of the guar
anty fund repeal act which It is pro-
posed to refer to the people. The
probability, LANCER said. is that more
than one act will be initiated. He will
try to make them meet what he con-
sidcrs the popular idea with regard
10 q lutulC POlASy VA OAlC 6AoA ANY Va
deposits in state banks.
The initiated measures will not
provide for a bond issue o. for any
increase in taxes, LANCER said, and
gave the inference that they might
propose to continue the present law
in effect until a certain proportion Of
the claims against the guaranty fund
have been paid.
Opposed To Bond Issue
He said the initiated bill will be
neither a bond measure nor a tax
measure. "as they are commonly UNI
derstood,' and that the Association Of
Depositors of Closed Banks, a cor
poration for which LANCER Is attor-
ney, has been opposed to a bond issue
to pay depositors in closed banks ever
since the supreme court ruled against
a $4,000. 900 issue for that purpose
proposed eight years ago. That mea-
sur LANCER said, provides that the
taxpayers should not be liable for
any part of the 100000. The idea
was to make the assets Of the closed
banks pay the bonds.
LANCER said petitions initiating a
bill to make crop mortgages illegal
except for the purchase price OF land,
already are in circulation and will be
filed later. He said crop mortgages
benefit neither the farmer nor the
local businessman who extends the
farmer credit without mortgage secur-
tty.

Unexpected downturns which
Liverpool wheat quotations showed
today and which had a depressing
effect much of the time on the wheat
