met by the construction of low-cost

Those are two ideas that ought
to be discussed very carefully" said

At her suggestion the townsmen
appointed a Steering Committee to
plan a community improvement as
sociation. The low-cost homes prof.
ect was advanced by Alfred Greene.
We've got big tract of land here
that is idle. $50 acres" said Greene.
We could cut it up into 10-acre plots
and put small houses on them and
sell them on monthly rent basis.
They could be paid for in Is or
20 years and by that time the aver
age man would be ready to retire.
1T would put every mechanic and
laborer here to work"

thought many families would move

sHIPOWNERs LIABILITY LAW

This new law was passed by the last session of Congress and signed by the President. Under American .aw, it has been possible for a ship owner to limit his liability after
 accident provided he could show
 hat he did not knowingly send his
 nip to sea in an unseaworthy con lition. The limit of liability was
 he value of the vessel after the ac- 'ident plus the freight which he would have earned on the voyage If the vessel were a total loss, it's val ue after the accident would be nothing. and in such a case the limit of liability would be the amount of freight. The law has been changed. Now, in the event of loss of life or personal injury. a shipowner is liable for the value of the vessel plus freight or S60 per gross ton whichever may be the greater.
 The new law also prevents any limitation of the captain. port su- perintendent or manager knowing ly allows the vessel to sail in an unseaworthy condition This new law does not include vessels en- gagged in the fishing business.

FOX SKINS ARE MOVING
 UP ON SEATTLE MART

Marked activity in silver fok skins at a substantial advance over prices prevailing a year ago feat ured the recent auction at the Se- attle Fur Exchange.
 Growers disposed of 75 per cent of the HOO skins offered at prices ranging from S132.5O for an extra choice pelt to ST for blacks The average price was $43.73, an in- crease of 25 per cent over the No- vember, 1884, average.
 The increase was r egarded as particularly significant by growers as the Seattle sale of silver foxes was the first of any consequence in the United States this year.
 As buyers at the Seattle auction represent international connections growers believe the price range is an advance reflection of what is in store for silver fox skins at future sales when 1885 production comes out in volume.
 Market Satisfactory
 The local offerings were regard ed largely as price sampling" or trial balloons sent up by growers to test the market, They found it satisfactory.
 Ten per cent of the 25 per cent increase was attributed to a nat ural upward price movement fol- lowing the cleaning out of 1884 stocks, and 15 per cent to improve ment in the quality or skins of fered.
 Northwest mink and larger of ferings of silver fox will come to the Seattle auction next month. Alaska offerings will make their first appearance there in January.

When the Nome council voted to use horses instead of gas driven cats, it little knew the trouble it was booked for. An order was sent out to Seattle to ship up two horses of 1600 pounds weight each The animals arrived and they looked like Shetland ponies compared to the brawny brutes ordered by the council. In fact. it is said, they will not tip the scales at 1000 pounds each. They have been rejected and await the shippers order. But it is possible that the foundation for a good lawsuit has been started.
