THAT STRIKE
N't ws to tha effect that thq Long
sU' r-meus' strike has again been d«<
clart i, is received iu ti'.id common.tjj
wiib unopen arms. Th« is our
busie>t season. Tranapo: tation Is
cu ai d under full swing. River
boats, are plying up iuxl down the
Yukou river taking freight into the
iuterior.
Local merchi nts arei beginning to
stenk up for the fall and winter.
Tne lack in shipment of necessaries
•o »hi» port was noticed during the
Lrief period of the recent strike
and i' was bavinj* a telling effect
upon all of the communities iu
'he Fan Handle. We are cer
tainly dopendent on Seuittle and th*
State" for our existence. Anything
tha» eflects those localities will ef
fevt us. Let us hope that arbitra
ge n or some method of equitable
cn.cedtire will «ettle the difficulty
and shipping continues.
