Whales.

A plant for extracting oil au mi,t- ing fertilizer from whales has been in successful operation at Tyee. Admiralty island. for the last two years.
 The Alaska fishing industry. in branches other than that Of canned salmon. which is already highly de- veloped, should he encouraged by every means. Especially should the cod and halibut fisheries be fostered. giving re- munerativc employment to Iarg,. number of men who have iittl" or no capital. but who are fully capable of prohtably carrying on these industries The United States fish commissioner announced last spring that the steamer Albatross would soon begin the work of making detailed surveys of halibut and cod fishing banks on the southern and southeastern coast The fisher men recognize the value of such sur veys, and are keenly desirous that the work be begun as early as practicable.

Petroleum.

There has been no production of pc troleum in Alaska, but the oil seepages which occur in several localities, nota bly, on Controller bay. encourage the belief that profitable development may take place eventually Some pros pecting has been done in the Controller bay district
 Gypsum.
 The gypsum deposits in Southeast rrn Alaska were source of steady production during the year The total shipments of gypsum in the last fiscal year were 20.4sO tons. valued at Sl02. . 400.
 Marble.
 Excellent marble is found in sev- eral localities in the southeastern dis trict, and some of the quarries were operated during the year The com mercial shipments of marble were valued at s44.s95.
 Other Minerals.
 Almost every well-known mineral has been found in the territory but there has been little or no comme.- cial production of any except those mentioned heretofore. Antimonv. h,.- muth. cinnabar graphite, and pale have been found in several localities. while galena has been discovered m quantities which will at some future time probably be mined on q profitabl scale
 Fisheries.
 Next to mining. the fishing industry IS the most productive industry in the territory. In the calendar year 1909 there Were employed in the several branches of the fisheries 12.5Ss persons. of whom 2.s23 were natives. The in Nestment, exclusive of cash capital. amounted to $9.SSl,6S2. and the finish ed product of the industry was 2O1.- of S11,1S1,3SS.
 Salmon. The season just closed will be highly profitable to the cannerymen owing to the advance in value of all grades of canned salmon. The total pack of the canneries amounted to about 2.375O00 cases of dozen 1-pound cans each The business of mild-curing king sal mon in Southeastern Alaska is incrcas- ing rapidly and the fishermen engaged m this business are receiving remun- erative price fir their catch The hatching of salmon fry contin- ues under he direction of the United States fish commissioner and some of the canneries.

This defect in the law should be remedied either by providing that the bureau of fisheries. through it's agents. determine the accuracy of tho claims of the owners of the privats hatcheries as to the number Of salmon fry released, or by repeating this pro vision of the law, purchasing the pri- vate hatcheries. and turning them over 10 the bureau to operate. Several new hatcheries should be established by ,h., government in localities not cove. l by the present hatcheries.
 Haiiibut
 Owing to the unusually high prices received last winter by the fishermen for their halibut. there will probably be a large increase in the fishing fleet next winter.

THE MEANING OF WABASH.
1t Affords an Argument for Preserva-
ton of Indian Languages.

/ would urge ON Intelligent Ameri-
cans the desirability of preserving the
native Indian languages of the United
States. The Indian languages are be-
coming extinct mueh more rapidly
than the Indians themselves, because
tie younger Indians are Amerieanized
and MANY of them have bet a smat-
tering knowledge of their native
tongues.
our Indian schools do not encourage
any study of Indian languages. be-
cause their object is to teach the stu
dents English and fit them To take
care of themseles in the practical af :
fairs of life. The older people. who
really know the languages. are going
the way Of all fiesn.
| may illustrate ~ the Miamis, who
We're originally one of the greatest, If
not the greatest of the nations of the
central West, Today all that is left af
that nation is estimated at one hun
dred and forty of the Western Miamis
in Oklahoma and Kansas and two
hundred and forty of the Eastern Nj
anis in Indiana. Most of these are
mixed bloods and very few can speak
the language, Within the last year
Gabriel Godfrey the only adequate in
terpreter in Indiana, and Rev. Thomas
Ricardville. one of The most competent
interpreters of the Western Miamis
have died.
These languages are worthy CT pre-
serVation on their intrinsic merit.
They are not rude and unsystematic,
but are more refined in infection, and
exact in meaning, not only than the
English language but also than any
modern civilized language.
To illustrate both OF these points
take one example. The name Wabash
is in wide use not only for the river
but for counties, towns, railroads and
other things In some of our standard
dictionaries ard other reference books
il has heen said to mean a cloud driy-
en- forward by the equinoctial wind.
In reality it is IA corruption of the Mi
ami name of the stream Wah-bah-
shik Xxi, or Wah-pah- shik-ki--b and p
being convertible in the Miami.
This is an infected form of the adj
jectiNe white, which in its simplest
form is wah- pe-ki for the mamma te
and Wah-pi--s ia for the animate.
and wah-bah shik-h implies that the
noun it qualities stands for something
that is bright or pure white, mamma te
and natural, such as a stone or shell
If it were artificial, cloth or paper.
the adjective form would have to be

guage has such refinement or infiec-

NEW LONDON WAKING UP.
Its Fine Harbor Advantages and Why
They Have Not Been Made More of.

There is no harbor between Maine
and Florida that is superior to that
beside which sits the city of New Lon
don, a place just about one -quarter OF
the size is ought TO have attained.
There is space and water enough in
New London harbor to float .the navy
of the United States. The harbor
opens right out to the Race and
through that thoroughfare to the
ocean. The Courant has often said
and still believes that the Grand
Trunk extension was "queefed" by its
own management when the statement
was made that Providence was sought
for it's tide water advantages. New
London, where the Grand Trunk is al
ready intrenehed has Providence. to
use the vernaCular, skinned mile. ="
Why hasn't New London grown as
its facilities justified, not to say de-
manded" We give ii up There is the
city and there is the harhor. Rival
lines of railway reach the port and
each has its steamers to New York.
The water should be covered with yes,
sells. Not only eoastwise trade. but
transatlantic business should crowd in
| there. The only reasons offered to ac-
count for the hackwardness of the
place are not agreeable to present. In
general way We can say, with Meri-
| den and New Britain as Illustrations,
| that men have as much to de with the
upbuilding of a community as natural
| advantages have. Neither Of these
| two tiourishing cities has a oonsidera-
| bic natural advantage and look al
| them.
There are indications now that New
London has begun to move. She is a
century or two behind time, but ii is

and start in to become what she ough,
