Miner in which the opportunities oi Alaska are presented.

In recent interview with the Pa ciic Fisherman \. H. Sonsthagen of Cape Fanshaw, who Is probably the hest posted man in Southeastern Alas ka on the fish business. gives out his aninion that the market for mild 'nrei salmon will not be so good this season as heretofore. He says: From
 hat | can learn the outlook for mild cured Alaska salmon is not of the brightest, and the prices for 1909 may be as much as from lls to cents per pound less than year ago. The only way l can account for this condition that the salmon industry seems to sui fer from the depression of a year ago, and if conditions do not improve the mild cured pack of Alaska fish will be small this year.
 It is reported that after providing for interest and sinking funds charge, depreciation, etc.. there was left out of the net earning of the Alaska Pack ers' Association for the past year a surplus of about $500, GOO, or nearly sl0 per share on the capital stock.
 During the coming season. the North western Fisheries Company of Seattle will operate a fleet of five sailing ships to carry supplies and employees to it's canneries in Alaska. The first vessel to depart will be the bark J. D. Pet CTS. which will again be sent to the cannery at Orca. It is expected to dispatch the vessel for Orca the latter part of March. Second to leave out will be the ship Benjamin +. Pack ard, which is scheduled to sail for the Chignik cannery on Apri l. The ship St. Paul sails for Uyak about April D, and the bark Harvester will leave in tow for Dundas cannery between Ap- Til , and To- The last to depart will he the bark Guy C. Goss. which is scheduled to sail for Nushagak about April 15. This vessel cannot sail earl fer because she has to beat through 1 Unimak Pass and brave the ice in Behring Sea and Bristol Bay. The company is making preparations for a pack similar to that of last year. Eight canneries will be operated this season. the other three to receive their en- ployes and supplies by steamer.
 An army of men is getting the big fleet of the Alaska Packers Associa- tion at San Francisco ready for the annual exodus to the salmon canneries of the north and the first vessel will go to sea in March with supplies and several hundred employees for the Alaskan fisheries. From this time forth hundreds will be engaged, and times will he lively for the huge cor poration. There are thirty ships and steamers in the Alaska Packers As sociation's feet. While several yes- sels have pbeen purchased from other companies by the association in the l last few months. there has been an increase of only one vessel in the feet, owing to the loss at Coronation Island of the ship Star of Bengal and the per- manent retirement of the Electar.

made up in the form of curry. which is peppery and swedish mixture of rice and vegetables, with now and then chicken. duck or goat meat.
 They chew betel nut contantly as a stimulant. They eat two meals day as a rule, one before beginning work and one after the days work is done. The men and boys wear hreechclouts, saris, which consists of 10 yards of thin muslin wrapped in peculiar way about the loins and shoulders.
 The people of a mill, or several mills if the mills are nearly located to- gether, occupy a village, which is made up of huts made of mud, brick, and palm leaves woven into sheets and tackled on to bamboo poles. All are thatched with long tough grass used throughout India for covering huts and bungalows, and winch makes a tight, cool, and durable roof, The floor is made of clay tamped down hard, which makes very good ioor On this floor is spread in places mating made of i bamboo grass. On this mating many of the natives throw down cotton blanket, or possibly thin mattress, l for beds. Some have a rude hed made of four posts Is inches high with crosshead and side pieces, pinned to- gether and then crisscrossed with bed cords. There may be a few rude 1 benches. but little or DO other furni- ture is to be seen in the huts. The natives eat on the floor. squatted around a pot or pan containing the food. The men and boys eat first and | the women and girls afterwards, talk l ihg whas is left. The mode of life is thoroughly primitive. No knives, forks or spoons are used in eating, the fin- gers answering all purposes. Each 1 Indian is ambitious to own brass 1 jug or pot. and these brasses are hand ed down as heirlooms and are held as almost sacred possessions. They are kept bright by securing them with mud ana water. After a meal the brasses that have been used in any way are taken out in tbe street. where the women or men, as the case may be. squat on the ground and rub them with the dust and water.
 It might be well to consider the fact that we are sending to India S2l, : 92l. 94l annually for bags and cloth that might be made at home. We are receiving articles that are made by the cheapest paid labor on earth, and which could be made by mill labor in the United States. We are buying sS, 7S7, iS5 worth of raw jute annually and manufacturing it into cloth. Why not buy as much raw jute as we need and manufacture it into cloth and bags? This would give additional em- ployment to our people and keep the profit at home.
 It would be still better to encourage 1 the growth of ramie on the lands go- ing to waste in the Philippines, where that fiber can be successfully cultivated. Thus we would be absolutely indepen- dent in respect to bags for use in handling our flour. wheat, corn, and other commodities. Since the process of cheaply degumming ramie has been discovered there seems to be no long, CT any excuse for holding back in the scale.

DON'T Be MIsLED.

The retail druggists of this country,
as a class. are noted for their high
standard Of intelligence and honorable
dealing. but Il Is a wellknown fact
that occasionally you viii find one
who will try to sell you something else
when you call for a remedy of estab-
lished reputation. He fOrgets that
your health is more important than
his pOcketbOOk.
For example. when YOU ask for DR.
Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt. the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. don't
let any druggist drug clerk or store
keeper persuade you into buying some
tang else in It's place. Every time
ne succeeds in selling you a worthless
substitute he makes more profit. but
you are numbugged az the expense Of
your health.
For many years We have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROot. From the very begin
ming. the proprietOrs had so much
confidence In Il that they invited
everyone to send for a free sample
bottle so that people could Judge OF its
great curative value in even the most
distressing cases OF kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.

will find a few OF the letters. prompt
