 FREIGHT TRAFFIC

A plan of the Pacific Steam ship Company and Moves Boat Company, of Ketchikan to undertake freight traffic be- tween Seattle and Hyder on the basis of through traffic charges and weekly service was presented to Hyder ship pers this week by Mr.. w. J. Manahan, Ketchikan agent of the Admiral Line, who came over from Ketchikan Tuesday.
 Under the proposal advanced by MT. Manahan, shipments ordered by mail from Seattle one week would be delivered at Hyder early the following week by the Moves Company f routed to Ketchikan on Ad- miral Line steamers.
 Freight charges for this rapid service, MT. Manahan said, would at least not exceed pres ent charges on through freight shipments from Seattle to this port.
 The service, in addition to overcoming the present neces- 5ity for waiting for extended periods in order to secure the advantages of through rates would also guarantee safe de- livery of commodities.

A bill amending the Alaska Game Law and providing for search without warrant of boats, camps and camp outfits, in addition to the other chang es in present ganme regula- tions, has been passed by the House Of Representatives in spite of objections by practi- cally every Chamber of Com merce in Alaska, according to press reports.

If there is anything to the ancient saw about the ground hog, winter will last another six weeks. For the grounding assuredly saw his shadow if he emerged from his winter siesta last Monday morning. Peculiarly enough, the day was the first really clear day in weeks and one of the few bright days of the entire win ter season.
 However, science says the ground-hog story is all hooey and besides, all other indica- ions point to an early spring, aot only here but all over Alaska, where the winter has been of record mildness.

 N. M. Traversy offered a timely and purposeful sugges- ton that the Hyder Chamber of Commerce and Stewart Board of Trade hold joint meetings occasionally, point ing out that both bodies are concerned with many identic- al projects, which could be furthered more effectively by joint action of the two bodies. This suggestion was warmly indorsed by Messrs. w. D. Smith and R. E. Haack, both members of the Stewart body, and others. MT. Traversy also suggested that a special meet ing of the Chamber be held on the arrival of Mr.. Batcheller of the Portland Canal Power Co.,, by way of greeting and to demonstrate local regard for the importance of that great project to the town and dist rict.
 After discussion of various other matters, the Chamber adjourned and will hold it's next meeting at the Silver Grill on the evening of March 4th.

 The present term of Albert White, U. s. Marshal in this division, expired in May but so far there has been no nomina- ton for the position. It is re- ported that there are four or five applicants for the job. One other major appointment is also pending; that of judge for the Fourth division, now held by Judge Cecil CIegg.
