RUSSIAN CAPTIVES
ARE IN DIRTY JAILS
PETROGRAD, via London, June
18.—Serious accusations are being
made on the score of alleged ill-treat
ment of about one hundred officers of
the navy and army held captive by
the local council of workmen’s and
soldiers delegates, the same body
which last week declared Kronstadt
independent. No impartial inquirer
is allowed to visit the prison, but the
-minister of justice informs the Asso
ciated Press that the overcrowding
dirt, insects, neglect of the sick and
| violence by guards, even the shooting
of prisoners, which rivals the worst
prison abuses of the old regime. Al
though the officers were placed in
jail nearly three months ago and a
so-called commission of inquiry is at
work, the victims are still without in
formation as to what they are charg
ed with.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETS SATURDAY NIGHT |
Question of rebuilding and mak- j
ing passable old road to Fort Lis
cum, Granby Mine, Patton Mine, |
Electric Lighting company plant and
prospects along route was discussed.
Also the Shoups Bay Mineral Creek
Road was taken up for immediate ac
tion, as there are probably a hundred
good properties which are lying idle
owing to the almost inaccessible and
ligh cost of transporting machinery
and supplies to these properties. Mr.
James Wilson, Chairman of the Divi
sional Board of Road Commissioners
was called upon for information in
regard to the road fund, etc. Mr.
Wilson stated that the Board had not
met as yet, but would do so in the
immediate future. He explained the
law regarding the allotment of the
funds at the Board disposal, and said
that there would be $50,000.00 avail
able for expenditure in the Third
Division this year.
Lieut. Kohler, of Fort Liscum, Mr.
Craig of the Granby Mine, and Mr.
Quinn of the Prince William Sound
Water, Light & Tel. Co. explained
the advantages to be derived from the
road being opened up to Solomon
Gulch, Fort Liscum, saying that there
were probably 200 people or more
that would be able to use it at once. !
beside leading the opening up and!
developing of new properties in that
vicinity.
Mr. Martin brought the matter of
i the road work to the Ramsay-Ruth
erford mine and other properties in
that region, before the Chamber. Mr.
Ritchie made a motion that the Secre
tary address a letter to Mr. Wilson
concerning the necessities of the Min
ieral Creek, Shoups Bay and Fort Lis
cum road, Mr. Quinn offered an
amendment, that we get up a peti
tion and have mine owners, business
men, prospectors and all who are di
rectly interested in the projects, to
sign and enclose same with letter.
The motion and amendment was car
ried and the secretary was instructed
to do so at once.
There being no further business
meeting adjourned.

SEATTLE GETS $14,000,000
STEEL FREIGHTERS CONTRACT
SEATTLE, June 18.—The United
States government today placed an
order with the Seattle Construction &
Dry Dock Company for ten steel
freighters to cost fourteen million
dollars and be completed within eigh
teen months.
Wild Bees.
Wild bees gather the nectar most
frequently in the buckwheat. They
also will attack blossoms that the tame
bees ignore. The bee from the woods
doesn't seem to care for propagated
flowers, nor will it enter any hive that
has been placed for it, no matter how
enticing the food there. It is far more
vicious than its cultured brothers.
Limiting Liability.
A daily paper in one of our large
cities contained the following unique
notice:
After this date 1 will not be responsi
ble for any bills except those contract
ed by any other than myself. John F.
