Henry j. G5ertsen reports on Sal
mon Packing in Alaska.
Henry ]. Gjertsen and T. Gulbrandsen
have returned from three weeks visit
to Tonka, Wrangel Narrows, Alaska,
where they went in the interests of the
Pacific Coast and Norway Packing COM
pany, which has extensive canning works
at that point. Joseph Kildal, j. P.
Sims and Egbert Cowles, who are also
interested in the cannery, will return
later. This Minneapolis venture in
Alaska has proved very successful. The
capacity will be doubled and next sea-
sons output will amount to 10000 cases
of salmon and 5000 barrels of herring.
The company will also put up a saw mill
and a box and barrel factory.
Mr.. Gjertsen says that in the trip up
the coast he saw many new buildings
erected since his last visit year ago.
Halibut, herring and cod may be packed
with good profit. LAUNDERING, In time,
may become great industry. The
climate of southeastern Alaska is agree
able and not at all rigorous as many be-
lieve. The scenery, says Mr.. Gjertsen,
combines the grandeur of Switzerland
with the extreme picturesqueness OF
Norway and if tourists want the finest
they should go to Alaska.
Politics will engage Mr.. Gjertsen's at
tention somewhat. He is "a candidate
for the senate from the forty second dis
trict and though he has been away from
the city for some time he says he finds
his prospects are most fattering.

BROKEN HEART
Caused Jennie Gemlo's Death, Say
Her Friends.

Caused Jennie GemlO's Death, Say
Her Friends.
The last scene of sad love affair was
enacted yesterday when the remains of
Miss Jennie Gemlo, a handsome young
woman of "a, were inferred in Lakewood
cemetery, clothed in a gown intended for
her wedding. The young woman died at
St. Barnabas hospital and her friends
maintain that she died of broken heart.
Four weeks ago Miss Gemlo was to
have been married to Wesley Lucas, a
young man who was employed as a piano
salesman, but four days before the date
set for the ceremony, he left to visit his
mother in Ohio who he said was i'll. Five
days later he returned to introduce an
other woman as his wife. Miss Gemlo
was heartbroken over the affair and a few
days later entered St. Barnabas hospital
to remain there until carried out by her
sorrowing friends.
Lucas seemed unmndful of the young
life he had wrecked and prepared to take
UP his residence in Minneapolis. When
his friends learned of his heartless act,
they turned their backs on him and de-
manded of his employer that he be dis
charged.

.AFRO.AMERICAN PRESS
ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS
Address of President Cyrus Field
Adams-A Word About ..
Lynching.

The National Afro-American Press as
ISOLATION in session in st. Paul yesterday
elected officers as follows: Cyrus Field
Adams, representing the Appeal of Chi
cago and assistant registrar of the United
States treasury at Washingt on, reelected
president for the fourth term; John G.
Dancy, recorder of deeds at Washington,
vice president; T. Thomas Fortune, rep
resenting, the New York Age, secretary;
William H. Steward of Louisville, KY,
treasurer; Emma J. Scott, private secre-
tary to Professor Booker T. Washington,
chairman of the executive committee.
Last evening reception was given by
the members of Pilgrim church, following
program of which the chief feature was
the annual address Of President Adams.
He said that John B. Russworm was first
to see the possibilities of an Afro -Ameri-
can press in the development of the race.
He issued under great difficulties the
Freedoms Journal in 1927. In 1847 Fred
erick Douglass began to publish the
North Star. For sixteen years he demon
strated that the Afro-American was
equal to the white man in ability to pub
lish a paper.
In regard to lynch law, the speaker
said:
1t is noticeable fact that while the in
fanny of mob law has apparently gained a
>frmer footing than heretofore, If that were
PoSo1Ule, uOL Ou!y Ill Inc southern states,
which may be regarded as the storm center
of lawlessness, but in other sections of the
country, the national sentiment against it
becomes stronger and more asserted. Here
and there an honest and courageous governor
in the south, like Governor Longino Of Mis-
sissippi, has taken such a strong position
against mob law as to attract the attention
and admiration of the people of the republic,
and to discourage those who incline most to
the mobocratc mania. While condemning
crime of whatever character, and by who
soever committed, the Afro-American press
has been and is fighting for an orderly ad-
ministration Of the law
Mr.. Adams paid a tribute to President
Roosevelt for his recent utterances in de-
nunciation Of southern mob murders.
National Council Tomorrow.
The National Afro-American council
will meet tomorrow at 10 o'clock. The
business sessions will be held in the SEN
ate chamber Of the capitol the evening
meetings in the House of Hope Presby-
terian church. Governor Van SAINT and
Mayor Smith will welcome the guests.
Harry Shepherd, Mrs. DR.. ]. E. Porter
and Rev. Timothy Reeves will make open
ind addresses. In the three days session
the lynch law question will receive prom
inent attention. The election will be held
Friday.

last night.
band of professors. Generous support
on the part of the people was another
factor. The speaker said:
During the past twelve or fifteen years there
has been decided change in public opinion
regarding the agricultural professor and the
agricultural college is no longer considered a
agricultural college is no longer consideed a
fit subject for ridicule and Jest, but his teach
ings and ideas in general are respected.
The Importance Of cooperation amcng
the stations and colleges was then en-
phasized as was the necessity Of broad
spirit among the Investigators and work.
ers. Dean Liggett.', affirmed that the
financial benefits accruing to the people
as the result: of any, one Of the achieve
ments Of the stations were greater than
the entire outlay for the maintenance of
the work. Further he said:
The logical development Of the educational
system will be along lines which are already
blocked out in some of our institutions. There
will be the agricultural high school, which
will take the farmers boys and girls when
they have completed the grammar school
grades, and give them three or four years OF
high school work which will fit them for
farm life and work. The course in the agri-
cultural high school includes a continuation
of the common branches in connection with
technical studies adapted to the age of the
student and the possibilities of practical re-
suits For instance, chemistrv must go far
enough to teach the analysis of foods and
soils; botany must be the foundation for the
study of many kinds of plant life and the
practical work Of planting, cultivating and
harvesting; entomology must teach at least
the general. character of the insect friends
and enemies of the farmer, and the means OF
employing the one and destroying the other.
There must be practical shop study of carpen-
try and blacksmithing, actual work in the
dairy technical instruction in animal breed
ing and the selection and care of stock. and
experimental work in laboratory and green
house In fact. all the work must be in
tensely practical, and there must be opportu-
nifty for practice and observation, OF actual
method at every turn. ~~

FINE TERMINALS
The NJ, S., st. p. & w. Has Excellent
Property at Superior.

Properly dt superior.
West Superior, Wis, July S.-The Min
neapolis, Superior, St. Paul & Winnipeg
road will have some of the finest termi
nails at the head of the lakes. Surveys
of the property have been made and it is
understood that arrangements have been
completed for the property. The promo
ters of the road have completed a survey
of part of the line into the city of Su-
perior. These surveys were completed
last fall. At that time no one knew what
road proposed to enter the city over the
route then being laid out, but there is
now no question that it was the Mime
apolis, Superior, St. Paul & Winnipeg
survey. Terminal property was secured
from the Consolidated Land company. The
line runs into the city from Dedham, a
point on the Great Northern road, about
sixteen miles south of the city, across to
the point of land on the south of Bluff
creek at Itasca and just south of the
Omaha's big elevator.

Selection of Panama Route, Says
Warner Miller.

Former United States Senator Warner
Miller of New York, member of the Sc
ward party that left for Alaska this
morning, president of the Nicaraguan Ca
nal company from 1889 to 1898, declares
that congress has made a mistake in Sc
lecttng the Panama route for the ist hmian
canal. His company spent $4,000,000 in
surveys, he says, and from his own in
TINA te knowledge of the route he is posi-
tive that it is he most feasible one. He
is glad, however, that congress has final
ly taken a decisive step in the matter.
The completion of the canal means great
things for the mort Invest, he says.

GEN. WOOD AND THE CANAL.
His Interest In the Istbmian Water
way Confined to Sanitary Con-
ditiOns Along Route.

Information received from reliable
sources throw an entirely different
light on reports from Oyster Bay that
President Roosevelt was thinking of
directing Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood
to take charge of American affairs on
the isthmus of Panama during the
construction of the Panama canal. Gen.
Wood is much interested in the canal
project from a sanitary standpoint,
and he has urged upon the president
the importance of sending to the 18TH
mus an expert in sanitary engineering
to carry out arrangements for the bet
ter protection Of those engaged in
building the great waterway, and also
to provide means for improving the
health conditions in the strip through
which the canal will run.
Gen. Woods interest IN this matter
comes from the fact that he is physi-
clan, as well as a soldier. 1t is under
stood that he does not care for the
assignment himself The Oyster Bay
stories are said to have emanated prob
ably from imperfeo knowledge Of what
Gen. Wood has been telling the presi-
dent about the Importance of improv-
ing the isthmus from the standpoint OF
