 FIRE DEPARTMENT

The fire call last night brought out a crowd of the To- cal firemen and lot Of spec tators, who were rather dis appointed to hear that is was a false alarm. Immeditely after "a meeting of the fire depart ment was held, and an entirly new reorganization was effect ed. Dale Hunt remains chief, with NJ. J. Heneghan as assist an chief, J. E. Sayles was elect ed captain of company No. 1; II. NJ. Stackpole, company No. ?; w. K. Spaulding, company No. 3, with headquarters at Newtown; w. T. James, capt. ein of the chemical, and John Koel captain of the hook and ladder.

After trip of several days,

After a trip of several days, Doe" Mahoney of the Ketch- kan Drug Company, returned last night. He had been out on a business hustling trip on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, and reports the best of success, having sold good stocks al Hydaberg, Sulzer, and Kla- wock.
 To the Miner Man he said that he thought Ketchikan is miss in gthe greatest opportunity for trade building in not having a regular boat operating between here and the West Coast. The people there would prefer to trade here instead of Wrangell if it would be possible to do so direct, and one man said he thought it would be possible to raise some cash over on that side towards getting a steam boat in operation.
 The West Coast is growing rapidly and steadily. The can neries at Fish Egg, Hunters Bay. and klawock are still in oper- atlon, or were when Mir. Ma honey was there. The saw mill at the new town of Hydaberg is in operation, and the natives are building their houses there.
 Sulzer and everybody there are looking forward to increased activities as the result of a find of a new body of high grade ore in the shaft now being sunk This carries close to eight per cent values and is in consider able quantities.
 Elmer Olsmby is doing good work at Bruce, having increas- ed his force Of men. The new tram and bunkers are just about completed, and the latter are full of ore, so that the mine will make shipment within a short time.
 Indeed so satisfied is he of the West Coast being a coming region that Mr. Mahoney se- lected a site for a drug store al Fish Egg, and will probably put in a branch there this com ing winter or spring.

It seems to the Miner Man that the time has come for the voters of this locality to get to- gether for the interest of all, organize a purely non-partisan or fusion ticket. and take the first step so necessary to se- cure the election of suitable snd capable men to the forth coming territorial legislature. There seems to be unanimity of ideas along this line, the question, the only one, seems 10 be how best to put the idea into effect. To solve this latter problem the Miner would sug- gest that a call for a strictly non-partisan convention be iS- sued by three men i'll Ketchikan representatives of the Progress sive or Wickersham wing of the Republican party, the Dem- ocrats, and the "Stand-pat" or Gilmore Republicans. Let the convention meet here in Ketch ikan sometime before the tenth of October and organize along
 During the interval, let the voters of ketchikan meet at the Council Chambers in caucus. nominate men for candidates for the legislature or senate as the case may be, and then day or two latter let us hold a primary election to decide on the man We will be willing to stand by for the November el- eetion. This would effectually preclude the possibility of any charges of ring rule being raised, and would guarantee a square deal for all.
 While the time is short there is nothing to prevent this or a similar program being car ried out, and if it is done it.is an absolute certainty that rep re sentative men will be elected tc the legislature, the kind who will care for the territory and her resources, and not be act
 Iated by the desire to rule or ruin.

LIFE HISTORY OF SALMON

succeeded Commissioner Cobb, has expressed some views re- garding the cultivation of fish in the waters of this Territory. From recent comment of his we take the following:
 Broadly speaking, operations will be along the same general line heretofore followed. How ever, there is in contemplation a more comprehensive and sys- tematic study with respect to certain features of the work. notably an effort to throw fur ther light on the life history of each of the five species of sal mon in Alaska waters. Much has already been accomplished iii this direction, but the field is a wide one and further data will prove most useful. AS illustrative of one of the phrase of the work. collections of scales taken from the different species of salmon also herring, will be made from time to time and indifferent localities. It has recently been discovered by European investigators that the age of a fish and other facts can be detirmined accurately by observing the concentric rings showing the like growth of tree.
 ''There is great need of a biological station in Alaska, af- fording facilities for the scien- tific study of practical fishery problems. The results of such research would no doubt be of great benefit commercially.
 ''It is a we'll known fact that here in Alaska, where the ad- ministration and enforcement of the fisheries laws and reg nlation are under the jurisdict- ion of the bureau of fisheries, the impression at times pre- yails that the policy pursued has been more or less advantageous to the commercial intere sts, Mir Bower was asked why this impression had been cast. "I don't know he replied. Moth Ing could be wider of mark. It is the prime function and chief aim and objection of the bureau Of fisheries to aid the fishing interests and inaugurate eXplor alton along lines which will re- suit, eventually. in the further expansion of the industry. The conservation and husbanding Of the fisheries Is believed in to the extent of permitting a sui ficient number of fish to reach the spawning grounds to pre-. vent a decrease in the future supply. Let the fisherman of today have the surplus. This k believed to be d wise appl: cation of the principles of con- seryation But to attain this end t < necessary to nave llle cooperation of the fishing in- terests and the careful obser- vance at all times of the fish cries laws and regulations.
 'It i. probable that this win ter congress will make certain additions to the present Alaska fisheries laws. Among the more important features under con- sideration is the licensing and regulation of fish trap sites. The present law is quite de- ficient on this point. Among other additions it is proposed that the government shall oper- ate all hatcheries. The present private hatcheries under this arrangement would be taken over at a fair valuation. An other provision is that at the end of a certain term of years the manufacture of oil from

SHOCKING AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Granddaughter Of The Late Maj. Geo.
CheSnut, Of Bethel Township, One
Of The Victims.

Last Friday afternoon, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Topley and two little
sons, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. James Hildinger all of Nc
Keesport, Pa, left that city in a
high-powered Abbott-Detroit au-
tomobile, and went over to Ev-
erett, Pa, to spend the Fourth"
in the home of Mrs. Caspar Low
cry. Sunday afternoon, the par
ty accompanied by Mrs. Lowery
and her grand daughter, twelve
year-old Dolly Price, daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. William Price, of
Everett, started to return to Nc
Keesport. All went well until a
point about three miles east of
Stoystown was reached, when
the driver, Mr.. Topley, attempt
ed to pass a car. In making the
attempt, the car skidded, turned
a double-summersault, destroyed
the car, and up to the time of
going to press, four of the party
have died, and two of the others
are not expected to live.
Little Dollie Price was killed
instantly. James Topley, the
driver and owner of the car, died
just as he reached the hospital
at Johnstown. Mrs. Topley and
Mrs. Hildinger have died since
being taken to the hospital, and
Mr.. Hildinger's death is mo-
mentarily expected.
Mrs. Hildinger, was Minnie
Hedding, daughter of the late
John NJ. Hedding. Her mother
is Lizzie Chestnut, a daughter of |
the late Major Chestnut, between |
Warfordsburg and Hancock, and
she is a sister of George w.
Chestnut, now residing on part of
the old homestead. Mrs. He'd
ding was in this county at the
time of the accident, she having
been called to this county to at
tend the funeral of her sister
Mrs. Lemuel Kirk.
There is no question but the
accident was entirely due to reck-
ess driving. He had a high
powered car, nearly new, and
took delight in passing every
hing on the road.
Mr.. Topley was aged about 45
years; was wealthy contractor;
l member of the Presbyterian
church, and a trustee in his con-
gregation; he was, also, Presi-
lent of the McKeesport school
BOARD.
Mr.. Hildinger was about the
;ame age as his friend Mr.. Top
ey, and was also wealthy.
