H. Nice, agent for the North American
Commercial Company at Dutch Harbor.
Alaska, who is In the city, charges the
fishermen . on Japanese vessels ', with the
disappearance of seals on the Pribyloff
Islands. He 6ays that American and Can
adian fishermen masquerade under the
Japanese flag and shoot seals instead of
spearing them, which causes the body to
sink rapidly so that many are killed to
no purpose, while the shooting disturbs
the breeding on nearby islands.
The Canadian schooners are said to ad
here strictly, to the law and keep outside

Tho franchises and concessions held by
the Oakland Transit Consolidated from
the countv of Alameda and the various
municipal organizations a:e vastly val
uaole. The company controls a complete
monopoly of the Ftreet franchises of Oak
land, Alameda and Berkeley. No company
can ever come into Oakland and compete
with them because they have secured
every available franchise in these three
cities, and in addition hold a privilege
from Oakland to Hay«r&rds along th*
main highway, running south from Oak
land. These franchises were secured
from the various city and county govern
ment? without cost, and yet the Oakland
Transit Consolidated would not part with
them for twice the amount of the assess
ment, even if there were no rails and cars
upon them.
The orie'nal petition as filed with the
County Board of Equalization was not
quite in legal form and did not state ex
actly the figures. This was supplemented
by a nrorn affidavit setting forth the rlg
urf;« as herein quoted. It is upon this pe
tition ar.d the affidavit that the demand
will be made for an increase in the as
sessment of the company to something
like proper proportions.

A person who is suffering from heart dis-
ease is in just* as much danger as the fool-
hardy lad who ventures on thia ice at the
first appearance of freezing weather. Heart
disease is the most common cause of sudden
death. Statistics show that one person in
every four have a weak heart, that weak
hearts are as common as a weakness of any
other organ. When the heart is weak the
pulse is irregular, the blood is thin and poor,
the circulation sluggish, causing cold extrem-
ities. Dr. Miles* Heart Cure is a great heart
and blood tonic, it regulates the heart's
action, improves the circulation and sends a
stream of pure, red blood through every Tein
and artery, renewing health ana strength.
