TONS OF SALMON WASTED.
Away I'm the Fisheries
Of Alaska.

A steamer bound for Seattle touched
at this place day or two ago to take
on lot Of salmon, which had been put
up by the salteries here. One Of the
passengers CHANGED to notice that the
barrels which were being raised on
board were labeled salmon bellies. {"
He asked an officer of the ship what
was done with the rest of tho hsh, re-
ports the New York Tribune.
often 1t is thrown away" was the
reply. II have seen thousands and
tens Of thousands of pounds of good
salmon thrown into the sea-"
why isn't all the fish used?" was the
natural question.
I'm the canneries 1t is" answered the
ofncer. but in the ealteries they often
pack only the bellies. You see, 1t takes
q lot of money to start cannery. You
have got to have a big building and
expensive machinery for cleaning. boil
ing and packing the salmon So good
many men with small capital start salt
cries. They clean the fish by hand, cut
out the bellies and pack them in barrels
with salt You see this doesn't require
any big or expensive plant. The bel
lies are considered the choicest part,
and they bring better prices in Seattle
than the rest of the fish would"
But wouldn't it be just as easy to
salt the rest OF the salmon, too?"
Yes, it would; but there isn't 90
much money in that. The fish are 80
plentiful that while they run you can
catch all you can handle. The salter-
les work all their men as many hours
as they can in the height of the season,
and they find it most profitable to
har die only bellies"
How much OF the fish is wasted when
this Is done?"
About six-sevenths. / have seen
them throw away % pounds of good
meat of a king salmon. and salt only the
belly. which weighed maybe four
pounds"
Then there's enough salmon wasted
every year to feed all the poor Of Sc
attic, | suppose" said the passenger.
Yes. II you could only get it to them.
For that matter. you could make your
fortune q hundred times over II you
could only deliver some of these Alaska
glaciers In the states free Of charge"
In spite OF the prodigality in the use
OF salmon. 1t is generally believed that
the supply will never run short. The
United States treasury department has
issued regulations for the artificial
propagation OF fry by the owners Of
canneries. but complaint Is made that
the task is an exceedingly dificult one.

Dewey Employees May Have Planned 20
Burn Aekerman Out.
E.B. Ackeruan, 500 acres of whose
land was burned over by the prairie fire
last week started by the Dewey en-
ployes, was in GOOdland Tuesday, and
being seen by a reporter of this paper,
gave some facts as to the way the ire
got out.
Giving the benefit OF the doubt as to
intentional setting Of the fire, there was
gross and even criminal carelessness.
10 blowing the fireguard around their
stacks the Dewey employees left stretches
of three PAGES IL length where the three
burrows were not turned at all, the plows
having jumped the hard ground espec-
tally in the low places where tall grass
had grown. Aud more than that, the
wind was favorable for burning the
Alderman range without danger to the
Dewey pastures
Deputy Sheriff johnson and Charles
Butler made an investigation of the orr
gin Of the fire. At the place where the
fire got away they found al oiled rope
stretched across from the fireguard to
the prairie outside, and the rope was
still burning when found. This gives
the appearance of intention to set the
| fire, unless these facts can be explained
away with reason by the Dewey people

charging them with offences for which
tbs federal court may, at its November
term, land them in jail to serve long sen
fences.
Probably the most important bit OF
work of the federal grand jury at Leav-
enworth q week ago was the finding of
indictments on charge of Intimidation
of settlers, and fencing government
lands, against the i've men named.
There are witnesses galore against the
ranchmen, who have already been in
troduced to notoriety through their
bloody encounter with the Berry family
il which the father and two sons were
killed last spring. The names of "a
witnesses are endorsed upon the infor-
nation upon which the defendants viii
be tried. The most important of these
were present and testified before the
grand jury at LeavenwOrth.
Seven counts were found against the
men indicted. The serious chang is
that of intimidating settlers who desired
to homestead government lands. The
federal law covering this Offense attach
es a penalty of fine not to exceed So
600 and Imprisonment Of not more than
ten years. Should conviction be secured
upon all the counts, each man would be
liable for $4,000 in fines and 20 years
imprisonment. 1t is charged that the
DeWeys prohibited settlers from taking
up claims of government land which
they had enclosed by their ranch fences.
Seven counts have also been brought
against the five men for fencing govern
ment land. The penalty for this offence
is $1,000 fine with not more than one
year Imprisonment. G. 2. Dewey Is the
Chicago capitalist, owner of Eureka
