1, has amended the shipping bill
viding for the promotion and
ntenance of the American mer
nt marine so that it would ex
le the Canadian Pacific steamships
n the freight and passenger traffic
ween American ports. It would
te it so the Canadian steamships
Id not sell through tickets from

East. If the bill should pass as
mded it would make it so that
ladian steamships could not carry
ght originating in the United

a Canadian railroad. The meas
also would prevent the White Pass

itehorse, in Canada, to Fairbanks

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY
melio Rabirez was arrested at
eau for connection with the rob
y of H. S. Graves clothing store.
>irez was caught wearing an over
t which was identified by Graves
i garment missing from his store,
s is the fifth arrest made over the
t>ery.
The value of a plan for the inspec
tion of fi»h in canneries this year, as
proposed by the packers doing busi
ness in Alaska, is emphasized by some
of the packs put up last year.
Owing to the salmon which was
seized at Seattle and condemned, it is
figured that thousands of dollars’
worth of fish were kept from being
consumed by the public.
The trouble in such cases is that
the “eating public” does not always
discriminate between the “good” and
the “bad e?e” by the tainted salmon
put up by a few firms.
An inspection and certificate on
each can that the pack has passed an
inspection will be a big forward step
towards restoring the public confi
dence in the Alaska product again.
Most of the canneries in Alaska show
extreme care in putting up their pack,
carefully grading the fish and taking
extra precautions to see that no
“spoiled cans” get in any of the cases,
but the care exercised is discounted
when even a few canneries place on
the market “damaged goods.”
The plan for an inspection will elim
inate this, and give those who exer
cise care the full benefit of their
work.

ISOLATED MONTANA TOWN
MAKES USE OF WIRELESS
MILES CITY, Montana, May 18 (by
Associated Press).—Unconnected with
the “outside world” by railroad or
wires, Jordan, county seat of Garfield
county, has solved the problem of
speedy communication by the estab
lishment of a wireless plant, operated
under a schedule of rates approved
by the Montana state utilities com
mission.
Messages now are handled be
tween Jordan and this city, where
the other station of the wireless cir
cuit is located, on a commercial basis,
and are relayed the remainder of the
distance over land telegraph wires.
When the county of Garfield was
carved out of the vast expanse of
Custer county and Jordan was desig
nated as the county seat, the only
means of communication of the town
was by a “star” mail route.
Not a line of railroad traverses the
county.

OF CENTRAL AMERICA
PHILADELPHIA, May 18 (by Asso

Society, the object of which is the
study of the Indian races of Mexico
and Central America. Particular at
tention will be given to the period
of civilization when great cities are
believed to have been built there more
than 2,000 years ago, the ruins of
many of which dot the forests of Yu
katam. First efforts, it was stated,
will be directed toward discovering
a key to the Maya hieroglyphs.
