MEXICAN CANNERS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
The Mexican crew at the Loring
cannery recently rioted on account
of trouble with the foreman, and
one of the Mexicans threw a can
at another white employe, cutting
a gash in his neck. The Mexicans re
fused to work and attempted to
drive the Chinese laborers off. The
arrival of federal officials restored
order and the malcontents were ar
rested charged with cutting, stab
bine, wounding, disturbing the peace
rioting, sedition, obstructing the
draft, and delaying the war pro
gram. These dusky hued sons of
; the Land of Manana soon become
! civilized when brought to the North
1 to take white men’s jobs.

Morris to his relatives in Memphis

to work caring for the wounded

HOLLANDERS BEAT
GOVERNMENT RULES
AMSTERDAM.—The Dutch gov
ernmen’t prohibition of slaughtering
pigs is evaded in a very simple
way. Plenty of captains are found
for a consideration who will take
a pig aboard their luggers, kill it in
the middle of the Zuyd/*’ Zee and
bring the meat back ready dressed
without any one being the wiser.
The authorities are in this case
pow’erless.
Part of the electrical machinery,
valued at $2,000,000 which was sent
to Dawson in 1903 to be installed
for the purpose of supplying: electric
light and power for Dawson and the
surrounding creeks, was recently
sent Outside, the former great min
ing camp having pinched out until
but a few hundred persons remain
The equipment was of the most up
to-date and expensive that was on
the market at the time the purchase
was made. Besides the regular ma
chinery for generating current a
narrow gauge railway with electric
cars -was provided. Miles of alum
inum transmission wire was included
in the equipment.
It is reported that the big plant
of the San Juan Fishing company
located at Seward, will be moved
to a point near Latouche, where it
will be more convenient to the fish.

as the jobwork.

Eleven bears were seen on the
beach at one time recently, near
Tenakee and Bob Kemp, an employe
of a fish company, who saw them,
said it was a poor day for bears
at that. The beasts are unable to
find fish up the streams and are
coming to the beach after them.
