Tom NageI a
 HabituaI Criminal

The United States marshars office this morning received notice from Deputy Schnabel, of Wrangel to the effect that Tom Nagel was again un- der arrest on the same old charge of peddling whiskey to Indians. This makes five times he has answered to that complaint.
 His third conviction for this ofrense occurred over two years ago and he received a two,years' sentence for the crime. His attorney took an appeal to the circuit court of CaloSornia and got a reversal of the verdict of the lower court on the ground that dis trict attorney did not prove in the trial that the persons to whom he gave the liquor were Indians within the meaning of the law provided for such cases. But in the meantime Ma gle served two years in prison pend ing the decision of the higher court.
 His fourth conviction resulted in a sentence of 30 days, presumably be- cause he had just finished serving an illegal term of two years.
 Now he is held the fifth time for this offense-it is getting to be a chronic complaint but keeps the dep uty down there in practice.

AlaSka'S Salmon Pack
 Over 3,OOO,OOO Cases

According to Seattle advices the Alaska salmon pack will be more than 3.OOO.OOO cases for the season. the largest in ten years, hurry-up orders from Eastern buyers and a growing Oriental export trade, the salmon mar ket is manifestiug a frmness which, tt is asserted. spells higher prices on or about January l.
 The pack this year. it is expected, will be the largest on record, the nearest approach being last year, with 2,S2I,Sl7 eases. The pack has almost steadily increased since 1902, varying during the last ten years from 2.5OO.oOO cases up 10 2SOO,OOO cases.
 Reports from the various Alaska canneries are being compiled as fast as received. and the actual pack will be known in a short time Leading dealers, however. agree that the pack will reach 3.OOO.OOO cases Of Alaskans alone. To this will be added more than 3OO.OOO cases of Puget Sound salmon. which is regarded as a light year. and 15,OOO cases Of Columbia river fish.
 Few Of the buyers in the East were able co anticipate the strong demand that would arise for the new food product. and early in the season sal mon stocks were laid in on the basis of shipments from Puget Sound sal. mon ceuters late in December. Dur ing the last week these orders have been renewed undr "hurry-up" instruc. tious. and Washington daIers have been busy getting the orders out.
 Foreign Demand Increasing.
 In the meantime the overseas de- mand is increasing. with orders com ing in from all world ports. The visi- ble supply for the packing season of 1912 already threatens to be ab- sorbed, and the first symptoms of a stiffness in the market was shown in Alaska pinks
 Dealers do not contend that there will be any increase in prices at pres ent, but in view of the rapid absorp- ton into trade Of all salmon in hand, an advance is likely before January 1.
 Heavy shipments Of the fish are go ing to Chicago. where the retail price is three cans for 25 cents. At these figures the Alaska and Puget Sound salman is rapidly taking the place Of meat as food staple.

Grounds suitable for the propagation of oysters, were eX' empted: also natural oyster beds, but, the selection was left with the com. missioners.
 Now, while 1t would be a great advantage to Juneau if these lands could be improved. I do not believe that while this is a territory, the gov erning authority would yield these lands to Juneau for any purpose. since such a privilege must necessarily give equal right to all other coast towns. even without the asking. There is no doubt but what Congress will grant these lands to Alaska when she becomes a state, but 1t is hard Iy likely while the affairs are admin istered by a Secretary of the Interior. But it would be the part of wisdom for the territorial legislature to start the matter going, and keep the sub ject warm before our solous at Wash ington."
