NEW POTATOES
BRING BIG PRICE
SEATTLE. Monday. June 11.—New
potatoes are selling strong on the lo
cal market. Yakima potatoes in
Washington state are practically
cleaned up and the large crops in
California are expected to lower the
prices. Berries and early fruit ar
rive in poor condition, and the demand
is small. Cheese is firm and the sup
ply limited. Butter remains very firm.
The Alaskan railway commission is
buying heavily and a sharp advance
is expected. Eggs are weak, as more
stock is arriving than is being sold.
Onions are expected to take a decline,
while there is no change in grocery
staples.
Yakima potatoes sell for $100 a ton;
onions 4 1-2 and 5 cents a pound; cab
bage, 4 cents; apples (Winesaps).
$2.25 and $2.75 a box; eggs. 36 and
37 cents; butter (cubes), 38 cents;
bricks. 39 cents; cheese (cream brick).
26 and 28 cents.
ARREST NEGRO
AT JUNEAU ON
SEDITION CHARGE
JUNEAU.—(Special.) — The first
arrest in the territory of Alaska dur
ing the present war on the charge of
sedition was made on June Tth by the
federal authorities when William N.

into custody for distributing pamph
lets in which were contained state
ments alleged to be in opposition to
the army draft law. District Attorney
Smiser filed a complaint against \N ad-1
dleton, secured a warrant and then
man was arrested. His bail was fixed
at a thousand dallars, but being un

he was held in jail to await action.

unofficial lawyer capacity amongst
certain people.

President Alexander of the National
Bank of Commerce, in making a plea
to the people to subscribe to the Lib

people of other belligerent nations.
The American loan, he said, means a
per capita tax of only twenty dollars
while the cost per capital to the
European belligerents has been from
forty-seven dollars, in the case of
Russia, to five hundred and thirty-one
dollars in the case of France.
