In speaking Of the matter OF the subsu-

coping of tine Connecticut avenue bridge,
Col John Blddle Engineer Commissioners
OF the District. states that the plans FOR
this bridge were designed by the late

TO Congress he said estimates were mace

provided for bridge of concrete with fac

The estimates providing for the use OF

the construction of a new road along the
south side of the river from Anacostia to

REQUESTS DENIED.
Commissioners Do Not Grant What
Citizens Ask

The Commissioners have voted TO deny
two requests recently made OF them by
the Congress Heights Citizens Association.
One desire of the suburbanites was to have
donated to them the lumber from the old
Anacostia bridge, and the other was 10
have the bridge on the Wheeler road cross
ing at Oxon Hill repaired.
The Congress Heights Association said
that 1t wanted the Anacostia bridge lumber
to make sidewalks in that section but w.
j. Douglas. engineer of bridges, stated that
the cast-of material would be needed to
construct temporary approaches to the
new Anacostia bridge and on this recon-
mendation the action of the Commissioners
was based. Mr. Douglas said that the
Wheeler road bridge needed only minor
repairs and that such work as is necessary

ALASKAN FISHERIES.

Salmon, HaIibut and Cod are
Shipped All over the World.
The salmon fisheries of Alaska have
quietly grown to be the largest single
fishery in the United States, if not Id
the world. Its proportions, says the
Pacific Monthly, are most staggering.
The extensive coast line Of the ter
ritory seems everywhere abundant with
halibut, which has become almost a
luxury in the east. There the fishing
is done at great hazard and at long
distances from markets, while in Alas
ka, the fisherman leaves his home in
the morning and returns in the even
ing with the fruits Of his labor.
A little off the coast of Alaska and
in many places among the numerous ISL
ands along the shores there exist great
cod banks. These are little known and
while they are now fshed to some eX-
tent it might be said the industry is
wholly i'll it's infancy.
When we consider the enormous ex-
tent of these banks as compared with
those off the New England coast and
the very few fish now taken on them
as compared with large numbers taken
on the Atlantic it can readily be seen
to what an extent this fishery can also
be expanded. Here also the element
of safety is greatly in favor of the
industry ON the Pacific coast.
At present in a small way both hall
but and cod are shipped clear across
the continent to Boston and New York.
With better and cheaper facilities the
markets of the whole United States
will soon be opening up to the Pa
cific.
The salmon fishing is now wholly
done for canning and in a small way
sailed. The extent to which this part
Of the industry has grown is more fa-
miliar to the world than any other.
During the past few years the fresh
fish industry has made inroads even
on the canned supply and mild cured
salmon are now being shipped all the
way to Germany for smoking. During
the past winter buyers from German
houses in Hamburg have appeared in
Alaska towns and eagerly taken all the
product they could secure. This is but
beginning and development in time
in the way Of improved means of trans
portation will extend the shipping Of
salmon fresh from the waters Of Alas
ka to all parts of the world.
