it possesses a flavor of challenge to
Germany, which, by the favor of nature,
possesses a present monopoly of the
potash industry. The German laws af-
fecting the potash trade have aroused
no little antagonism in this country,
because of their restrictive effect, and
accordingly the American biologists

A dispatch from Washington says:
1t seems almost assured that at the
next regular session Of congress at
least one branch of that body will pass
legislation providing for the establish
ment of home rule for Alaska. That
branch, of course, will be the house,
for the democratic leaders long ago
promised a measure of this sort as soon
as they assumed control Of that end OF
congress, and now that they are actu-
ally behind the guns they are display
ing renewed willingness to carry out
their promises in this connection. 1t
is still too early to predict what recep-
ton the senate might give to bill
passed by a democratic lower house
giving Alaska home rule, but those be-
hind the movement entertain high
hopes for its passage by both houses.
At least two Of the new republican SEN
ators have expressed themselves favor.
ably toward such legislation, and it is
presumed that the democratic mem
bers of the senate would not oppose a
bill of this nature which had been ini-
tiated by democratic house.
The grand jury at Valdez last month
devoted special attention to the method
of collecting license tax from the can
ming companies along the coast aud the
rebate allowed for the liberation of
fry. The report of that body says: "F'or
the season 1910 the superintendent OF
the Karluk hatchery, on Kodiak island,
the only private hatchery in this divis-
ion, made affidavit to the liberation Of
81 10000 salmon fry, thereby taking
exemption from taxation on 371 ,O50
cases of salmon, amounting to over S14,-
600. The total tax due from the Alaska
Packers Association in this district,
for the year, was s29,557.86, of which
S14, $50 was related on account Of the
Karluk hatchery and $4,000 related on
account of certificates transferred from
other judicial divisions, making over
$4,000 of exemption taken advantage
of by the company for 1910. In the
opinion of this grand jury the law
should be replaced by one providing
for just tax and license fee for salmon
canneries, and the maintenance by the
government of hatcheries, thereby
placing the business of canning salmon
upon equal footing with other business
conducted in Alaska"
