| Woodchoppers l'ay for Wood
on Hand
The Skagway woodchoppers paid 15
cents a cord this morning to the fed
eral government for all the wood the;
have on hand, in their yards and in the
woods. This was in accordance with
an agreement they arrived at with H.

Yesterday Mr. Love went up into
the woods and placed notices on all the
wood Mr. Nye and others have cut and
ready for delivery to customers, claim
ing it to be United States property and
warning people not to remove it or to
buy it.
Last night the woodchoppers and Mr.
Love, with P. M. Mullen, receiver of
public moneys at the Juneau land office,
met at the Fifth Avenue hotel and at
the suggestion of Mr. Love the wood
choppers agreed to pay 15 cents a cord
[ for the wood.
Mr. Love has fixed 15 cents per 1000
feet as the pricj of stumpage to lum- 1
bermen and he decided that it
would be a fair price per cord for wood.
This settlement will not be final until
ratified by the department.
