J. D. Clark, Oscar Fish and C. El- j
wood left for a trip down the j
Sound this morning to investigate the;
clam beds discovered recently by |
Messrs. Clark and Elwood. Mr. Fish
will visit the beds to report on their
extent and productivity and the feas
ibility of establishing a clam cannery
here.
Mr. Clark, who is father of the pro
ject, has interested some capital here
and some on the outside in the pro
ject. An estimate on the cost of the
plant has also been secured from
manufacturers of canning machinery
and if it is found that the extent of
the clam beds will justify it, a can
nery will probably be erected here in !
tlie near future.

SHARP PROTEST
DEMANDS MAIL SEIZURES STOP
Denies the Right of England to Con
stitute Herself a Judge as to the
Uuitiinate Destination of Parcels
Addressed to Neutral Countries.
CHRISTIANIA, May 6.—The Nor
wegian government has forwarded to
England and Prance sharp notes pro
testing against the seizure of mails
addressed to parties in Norway on
neutral ships. The note recites that
this illegal seizure and holding up of
mail, particularly parcels post pack
ages. has been going on for some
time, depriving the people of a'friend
ly country of their mail without any
legal excuse. The note denies the
right of England to constitute herself
a judge as to whether the mail ad
dressed to persons in a neutral coun
try is ultimately destined for the
enemy, "and demands that further
seizures be stopped.

ANOTHER REBEL
LEADER KILLED
18 EIGHTH TO BE MURDERED
Many Arrests Being Made Through
out Ireland—American Consul Is
Seeking to Secure Release of Jas.
Sullivan, an American.
DUBLIN, May 6.—McBride, the
eighth of the leaders of the Irish re
bellion to be tried, was executed here
today, having been convicted by
court martial of treason. The police
and military are active in searching
out the various district leaders of the
movement, and several arrests are re
ported to have been made in the
county of Loth.
United States Consul Edward L.
Adams is active in trying to secure
the release of James Sullivan, former
United States Minister to San Do
mingo, who was arrested here yester
day charged with complicity in the
uprising. As there is little or no evi
dence against the prisoner it is prob
able that the consul may secure his
release.
TOMORROW IS
MOTHER’S DAY
OBSERVED ALL OVER COUNTRY
Badge Is White Carnation and Civic
League Makes Arrangement* for a
Supply of These Flowers—Will Ar
rive on Evans.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, which
will be celebrated in practically every
community throughout the United
States, usually by special services in
the various churches.
The founders of the movement for
an annual observance of the day give
the following as its object:
An all-nations and simultaneous
observance for the well-being and
honor of the home.
The observance of the day through
some distinct act of kindness, visit,
letter, tribute, showing remembrance
of, the mother and father to whom
grateful affection is due.
Its slogan is “In honor of the Best
Mother Who Ever Lived.” The
badge is a white carnation.
That all who wish to observe the
day in Valdez may wear the distinc
tive badge, the Civic League has made
arrangements for a large shipment of
white carnations, which will arrive
here this evening on the steamer Ev
ans. Arrangements will be made for
their sale soon after they arrive.
Fish Stories Plentiful.
Charles Koppus and several other
fishermen were out to the lake stream
yesterday afternoon and report catch
ing a number of trout. Fish stories
have been common of late, but so far
as can be learned not many fish have
been exhibited. The news of the catch
started a number of the diciples of
Isaac Walton out on the trail today
to try their luck. It Is said that yes
terday’s catch was taken near the
outlet of the lake.

Fall of Trebizond Gives Rise to Ru
mors Turkey Seeking Peace—Rus
sia Will Not Consider Proposals—
Nothing to Verify Re|>ort.
PETROGRAD, May 6.—The fall of
Trebizond has given rise to a fresh
crop of rumors that Turkey is ap
proaching Russia with peace over
tures, but it is authoritatively stated
in official circles that no such propo- I
sals will be considered a moment by
the Russian government. Voicing a
conviction that Turkey is a defeated
nation and not in a position to make
terms, the Petrograd Gazette de
clares:
“We may consider one of our ene
mies finished. The taking of Trebi
zond has so disorganized the Turkish
defensive plans that, all that remains
to her is to lay down her arms and
ask for mercy. She already has sought
ways to a separate peace, but has met
with absolute refusal of hpr oppon
ent, who is determined to close no
separate agreements. Turkey’s hour
has struck and it is not improbable
that she will in the near future dis
appear from the map.”
May Ask for Peace.
SALONIKI, May 5.—It is reported
here that intermediary agents are
sounding allied circles in more than
one quarter on behalf of the Turkish
government in order to find out what 1
chances there are of separate peace. ■
So far, such efforts have led to noth
ing, but the disaster in Asia Minor i
may cause them to take a more direct |
form. . j

START BARGE LINE TO
ANCHORAGE FROM PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., May 5.—Undis
mayed by the failure of previous at
tempts to establish a freight line be
tween Portland and Alaska points,
Charles Sears, a member of a wealthy
Boston family, and James Crichton,
of Portland, have organized a barge
tUlU LU& UUCU 1IUO nuu me iuoh w*. j
maintaining regular sailings between i
Portland and Anchorage.
For the purpose they have acquir-!
ed the seagoing tug Samson and three
barges. The Samson is being refitted
with new boilers and wireless and is
being generally overhauled. It is j
hoped to establish the service in the ;
middle of May and to maintain a 20- j
day round trip schedule. If the ven-1
ture prospers it is proposed to en-!
large it with additional tugs and j
barges and eventually with passen-;
ger and freight steamers.
Oregon mills have been awarded i
orders for 6,000,000 feet of ties and ;
bridge timbers for the government j
railroad in Alaska and these will be j
shipped-over the new barge line.
