have been overcome. For in- stance it was found that the
 water from the Naha River car ried the germ of fungus
 which prevented the germlnat- ion of many of the eggs. To
 overcome this, the country a.
 bout the hatchery was search ed for a water supply which would be pure. This was found in a spring away up On the mountain side three and lone-half miles from the hatch cry, so pipe line was laid and constant supply of pure cold water was thus assured.
 The first buildings were of logs, but later saw mill. oper- .ated by water power was in- stalled, and the newer build ings are all of sawn lumber.
 On entering the hatchery buildings the first thing that
 strikes the visitor is the scrup- ulous cleanliness of everything. trays, buckets, troughs, dishes, etc., all scrubbed as clean as a first-class kitchen, and painted We discovered later, with a cer-
 tain preparation to prevent in lection with the fungus which kills the egg and prevents in |cubation.
 The eggs are taken in Sept Iember. October and the first
 week OF so in November, and are handled continuously for from 90 to i20 days. After they are matched the young fish are fed until they are large e. |nough and strong enough to shift for themselves, when they are turned out into the stream, and for them the struggle of life begins
 Contrary to a mistaken impres sion which seems to exist in ithe minds of many people, this hatchery was not installed be-
 cause the companies wanted
 to operate them. but owing to an order issued by the Federal
 Government, in circular No. 57 of the Treasury department,
 dated May 2, 1900, which or der required all canning con-

appears to be on the increase, after years of dwindling, and if | inc number of fish increases in those, there Is no reason for be l ewing th1t the same will nui happen in Alaskan waters, where the fish have much bet ter chance for life.
 The canners of this region are not interested in whether ,he hatcheries are run by pri- vate corporation or the govern |nent, but they must be operat- led by somebody if the canning Industry is to continue, and it lis not square deal for one or two companies to be cor,pelled to carry the brunt of the load. We are perfectly agreeable for the government to do the hatch ing, but they should reimburse the owners of hatcheries now operating in good faith fer the actual cost of construction etc. Iof existing plants.
 But to return to the Fort mann hatchery: Manager F. Patching has evolved there with everlasting work and cure and attention, a garden spot in
 the wilderness. After the long and hard trip up from the salt water, the sight of the beauti- ful grounds of the hatchery with the farm yard surround Ilngs comes as a surprise, and a pleasant one at that. He has demonstrated by actual con- crete results that vegetables will thrive in profusion in this
 Northland of ours, and one sip of the delicious milk and cream for which the place is noted, proves conclusively that dairy ing can be successfully conduc- lted here.

greater part of the objection to
 the remittance of the tax to the canners maintaining hatcher
 ies. Those opposing it want somebody, they don't care who,
 to pay for the building of their roads
 Now to look at the actual fig ures of the case. The Alaska
 Packers Association maintains
 two hatcheries in Alaska, one at or near Karluk, the other the
 Fortmann. Since work was be
 gun on these plants the cost of
 construction and maintainance has amounted to more than
 S174,000, while in the period intervening since the rebate order has been in effect, bns
 Plo3,oOO mas been returned to Ithe Association in remitted tax Ies, leaving net loss to the company of $274,OO0 besides depreciation, interest on invest
 ment, superintendence, office expenses, etc.
 It is not this papers intention CT desire to defend the actions |of the Alasa Packers Associai- jon as a whole, but it does look to 1t as though somebody is

In The World

Interest in the salmon industry, wants every dollar paid in by the canners as salmon tax spent for roads to enable them | to get to their mines and pla- cer claims on which they are lpaying no taxes, thus enabling them to skin out the values there at as cheap cost as pos sible so that they can return to
 the States and forget they were
 ever in Alaska, but they make absolutely no provision for the lperpetuation of the salmon and other fishing industries
 which provide a livelihood for twice the number of men the mines of the interior ever were
 or will be capable of doing.
 For some reason, Alaska's Governor seems to be anxious 10 give the salmon canning and matching industry a black eye by objecting to the expenditure of the funds received from the canners for hatcheries and de- Imanding that they be used for road building in region hund- reds of miles away from the coast. This attitude is shown
 in the report of the hearing of Iihe subcommittee of the Sen ate on the fisheries when in re ply to a query as to whether he favored the using of the sal mon tax for salmon hatcheries,
 he said. "I am decidly opposed to that; although I have heard that recommended informally by the Bureau of Fisheries. 1 am opposed to it because We need roads so badly in Alaska

 The biggest and perhaps the most successful fish propagat- ing plant in the world, the Fort mann Hatchery, exists within thirty miles of ketchikan, and is wonder in its way
 It is on the Naha River be- tween seven and eight miles from the Loring cannery, at the head of series of lakes and streams. perhaps the most nearly ideal breeding place i'll the world of Red" or "Sock- eyen salmon. Fred Patching is the superintendent, and judg- ing by the results obtained, thoroughly knows his business.
 The construction of the hatch cry was begun in 1900 but ow- ing to the lateness of the sea- son 1t was not completed until the following year. when Mir. Patching took charge, and H. 600. 900 eggs were taken. So successfully was the work con- ducted and satisfactory was the results, that the plant was en- larged the following year, and forty millions of eggs were matched. Since that time the work has been pushed steadily and the plant increased until today it consists of about twen- ty building with capacity of iioo00,o0o eggs per year.
 During the eleven years the plant has been in operation more than 550,000,0OO young fish have been matched and sent on their way to the sea, aggregating in numbers more than all the adult fish taken by the canners and canned during that period in all Alaska.
 Problem after problem have confronted the management of the plant at various times and

cords show that the hatcheries were put in because the Depart ment said they must be install- ed if the Association was to continue in the canning busl- ness. Then when the Depart ment saw that it was practice ally impossible for the smaller canneries to install fish hatch cries and were confronted eith-
 CT with prosecution or annihi- iation, the order was recinded leaving those companies which had installed hatcheries with 1 the hatcheries on their hands and it was up to them either 10 shut them up after putting in immense sums of money, or conduct them for the benefit Of themselves and the fishing in- dustry in general. Then in fair ness and justice, after figuring cut what it actually cost 10 hatch and care for a thousand 1 fry, without considering any depreciation or interest on the money invested, the govern ment decided to give the comp anies operating hatcheries a credit for the work done. A clique of men with interests anywhere else but on the coast are trying to have them de- prived of the credit for the work done which must be for the good of the fishing industry in general. Nor can it be said that the fish matched at the Fort
 mann hatchery comes back to the Naha alone. Investigation has shown that they scatter out lall over the coast of Alaska, having appeared according to government experts as far north as Afognak and Karlnk.
 There can be no denying the fact that artificial propagation $ a success. This has been proven in various waters of the Pacific coast in the propaga- ton of salmon, especially the Columbia and the Sacramento rivers, where the supply Of fish

Creede, Colo, Dec. 24.-But for the
the heroism of two men, who knew Of
a narrow tunnel leading from the in
nermost workings Of the Happy
Thought mine to the shaft of the ad-
joining Park Regent property, forty
miners entombed in the Happy
Thought, when the timbers in a stope
near the entrance caught fire, would
have been suffocated.
These two men braved the dense
smoke between the entrance and the
right-angling stopc time after time in
an effort to reach those imprisoned
within.
Both were overcome, but stuck dog
gedly to their task, and finally pene-
trated tho clearer atmosphere be-
yond the burning stope. Every one Of
the forty miners was rescued by
means of the narrow tunnel and the
main shaft of the Park Regent. None
knew Of the tunnel to the Park Regent.
The fire started at 8 o'clock. 1t
was two hours later, after their many
attempts to force an entrance, that the
two miners, with sponges tied to their
eyes. mouths and noses, succeeded in
crawling along the bottom of the drift
to the space beyond. which at first
had been comparatively clear of smoke
but was gradually being filled.
With the exception of seven miners
who had retreated to a remote part Of
the mine. all were rescued in less than
two hours after the fire started.
The seven men were found several
hours later perfectly safe but very
much frightened, and taken out the
same way.
