The skins were seized by United States Customs officers at Seattle on the steamer Starr in October, 1880. They were not shown on the cargo manifests and were held as contraband.
 The Government claimed they were owned by Anderson and Kos losky, and they were indicted at Anchorage last summer. A jury at Anchorage returned verdict of not guilty in the case against them last September, and that left the skins in the hands of the Govern ment with no adverse claims against them.
 Owing to the fact that they were seized in Seattle, it was necessary to return them there for legal con- demnation and sale.
 The proceeds. less the nominal costs of action, will be remitted to the Alaska Game Commission and they will be split fifty fifty be- tween Federal and Territorial gov ernments.

AIS BIG SHOT ROCKS JUNEAU
 EARLY SUNDAY
Manmade Tremblor from 800 Boxes of Powder
 Shakes Town

Juneau was rocked early Sun day morning by an earthquake-hke trsmor that rattled dishes and windows. and otherwise conducted itself like a real tremblor. But 1t was a mere man-made shock.
 l. was the result of the biggest "shot" ever set off in the Alaska Juneau mine. Eight hundred boxes of giant powder, exploded simul- taneously, was the origin of the quake.
 Forty thousand pounds of powder were fired in the shot. This had been placed in 13 piles at the foot of a 400-foot cliff. The piles wera connected with a cordeau. This is a lead tube, or pipe, which is filled with TINT. To this was attached a 25-foot slow burning fuse.
 The fuse was lighted in the usual way. It required between l6 ana 1T minutes for the spark to reach the cordeau which detonated, eX- nloding the 13 piles of powder simultaneously.
 It is estimated that the explosion broke down 750,OO0 tons of rock.

INDUSTRIAL
METHODS PLANNED
Market Development Confer.
ence Will Be Held Here
September 1929.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

A more efficient Industrial organiza-
ton Is the hope Of a trade and market
development conference TO be held
here by affiliates of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce September %
and 20.
The meeting will be exclusively for
the managers of wholesale trade devel-
opment bureaus and distribution de-
partments of local chambers, and for
secretaries interested in such work in
chambers that do not have q special
wholesale trade development bureau.
1t was said that such a meeting was
necessary due to changing methods
Superinduced by lesSened business &C
tivity, Such changes have rendered 1t
imperative that all possible wastes In
operations, distribution and sales be
eliminated. There has been a thorough
housekeeping in most lines of endeavor
To cut out every needless expense and
TO eradicate every item which did not
return profitable results. Improved
methods OF production. and in many
cases more modern machinery and
equipment, have been installed in order
that costs may be cut This process
Is still going on.
The conference, which has been ar
ranged by the domestic distribution
department of the National Chamber.
will seek TO exchange ideas and to gain
more practical working knowledge of
the distribution problems of wholesalers
and manufacturers. The first day will
be devoted to consideration of ways in
which local organizations can work
with individual distribution problems
and the second TO means for developing
the community as trading center.
