NEW YORK, March 3.—The wide
ly advertised anti-British demonstra
tion which was to have been held in
this city on March 4th and 6th may
not be permitted by the police as it
is feared that it might result in seri

Many Hibernians have denounced
the demonstration as un-American
and have declared their intention of
breaking up the parade if it is per
mitted by the police. Prominent Ger

ing the demonstration and assert it
can accomplish no god and will only

from the city authorities to hold their
parade and have promised that noth

FOI RAISER IS
EMI LIFE
Physician who Engaged in Venture
has Found that it is Bringing
Returns Beyond Expectations
H. M. Conrad, who was formerly
with the Granby Mining Company,
lias returned from a trip (to Datouche
and the Green is.and fox farm near
that place which was established by
Dr. Thos. A. Haxby. He reports that
the doctor now has three hundred
line animals on the island and that
the venture is proving a success be
yond his dreams.
Dr. Haxby has erected a comfort
able residence on the island where
he resides witli his wife and daughter.
In auuiuon to the residence he has
built a blacksmith shop, boat house,
smoke house and saltery. During the
winter season he employes two men
in looking after the foxes but during
the summer season he has a consid
erable force in catching and prepar
ing the feed for the foves during the
winter.
Dr. Haxby relying on the advice of
the Department of Commerce, has
been feeding his foxes on fish ex
clusively and has found that the ani
mals thrive better than when the
food is mixed with vegetables. His
animals are always In big demand i y
the fox breeders.
Mr. Conrad says that Dr. Haxby
and his family are very comfortable
on their island home as they own a
launch and can come and ge as they
please and have not a worry In the
world.
A Card to the Public,
Patrons of the Inter-Mountain
Traction & Power Company should
give scant attention to the libelous
statements being circulated by the
employes .of the. Alaska Water, Light
ft Telephone Company. This com
pany is not on the verge of selling
out, but on the contrary is about to
erect a plant of 1500 h. p. with a dam
that cannot be interfered with. An
offer was made last December by the
undersigned to purchase the power
plant of the Alaska Water, Light ft
Telephone Co., and furnish them
with current. The offer was refused
and the matter dropped.
This company having already per
fected its plans for its new plant, the
financing of which is now well ad
vanced, has withdrawn its offer. Any
statement conflicting with the above
is absolutely false. The other com
pany has made several efforts to buy
out the lies’ interests, and each time
has welched out of its bargain. But
if it thinks it will gain its object by
misrepresentations to our patrons,
impeding our water flow, and other
acts in violation Of the decree of the
Court, It has another think coming.

The staff of the local office of the
