The Population of Alaska

The two fundamental factors of a thriving state or community are popu- lation and uative resources. Ofthe re- sources of Alaska the press of the country has been full. The growth and maintenance of her population are de- pendent upon the free administration of her resources. A study of Alaska's population demonstrates how vast are the opportunities of the territory. The bureau of the census has just issued a preliminary statement of the statistics gathered in l9lO In that year the total population was 64,356, of which 25,331 were Indians, and 2,331 Chinese, Japan ese and negroes. The white population was thus only 36,694. Slightly more than 50 per cent of the white popula- tion was native American. In 1880 the population of the territory was 33,426 and of this numb Der the Indians were 32,997 or 987 per cent. In 1890 the total population was 32,052, but the figure for the Indians during that year was given as only 25,354, thus showing a considerable increase in the number of whites. During the latter part of the following decade, owing to the Klondike and Nome settlements, the population of Alaska increased to 63592 the gain being principally white, while since 1900, as already shown, the gain has been only 764. Reports since the census of 1910 have indicated a decline in population, owing to the return of many whites to the United States proper Fairbanks is the largest town, having a population of 3,54l in 1910, Nome being second with 2,6OO. or the fourteen incorporated towns, seven had a population of 1000 inhabitants or more. The somewhat transient nature of the inhabitants is indicated by the fact that in 1900 the number returned to Nome was l2,483, including persons on vessels in port. Skagway, the sec ohd largest town in 1900, decreased in numbers from 3,117 to SIP during the last decade. The returns sho& that there is one inhabitant to 9.2 square miles as compared with one Co each 21.l acres in the "States."-Miuing Science.

Mldcuring Season


 According to the custom house man. ifests in Seattle, 4,O98 tierces of mild cured salmon arrived from Alaska during the period from May to August 20. Of this, 33G tierces arrived in May, 1915 in June; 2,4l1 in July and 336 from Aug. 1 to Aug. 2O
 This gives some idea of the large Alaska mildcure pack which breaks all records of the North As previously stated, the large profits made in mild cured last year attracted many ex- perienced men into the industry this year. As a result much of the Alaska pack put up by individual operators aud small companies bas been poor Many of the fish have been small in size. This, with the inexperience of the operators and the lack of proper cold storage facilities has resulted in a product which is either spoiled or of such inferior grade that the fish are a drug on the market and many will lose money in disposing of their pack. Itis estimated that probably one-half of the Alaska pack is put up on speculation while the rest is contracted for The large portion of the pack was secured in June. During July the run of kings decreased to a marked degree and with the unfavorable market many of the mildcurers suspended operations dur ing July. Early in August reports were received from the North, stating that a second run had set in off Pores ter island, the scene of the most active operations this year However, there were no buyers. Several of the larger companies were still operating in Au- gust, but only those which had con tracted for their pack early in the season.
 The large companies and others for tunate enough to have experienced men in charge, and were properly equipped, produced as a whole an excellent grade of mildcure, which was easily disposed of.
 In the beginning, S1.1O was being paid for kings on the west coast and Sl at Petersburg, but about July 20 the price was dropped to as low as 50 cents, as the buyers could not afford to pay more.
 The prevailing price for Alaska mild cured up to August 8, was II cents pound for large reds; 2 cents for small reds aud 4 cents for whites. August 8 the price dropped to 9 for large, 6 for small and for whites.
 B. Lindeuberger, of J. Lindenberger, estimates his company's pack in Alas ka at nearly 5000 tierces. The com pany was still operating last month. Six plants were operating. Of these the one at Roe Point put up a good pack, while the one at Craig was Tot so large.
 The Toledo Fish Co.,, organized this past spring in Seattle. with Capt. S. F. Kildall as manager, packed 70 tierces, aboard the lauuch Neptune. The com pany operated out of Port Armstrong, Southeasteru Alaska Pacific Fisher man

A sad accident occurred recently near the mouth of the Koyuknk river, whereby Fred Martini, a well known operator, lost his life. Martini was en- route to the outside to get married and was going down the Koyukuk river on the steamer Reliance, which had two barges in tow. In some manner he missed his footing and fell between the barges. One of the barges passed over the unfortunate man and it is believed he must have been stunned, as he failed to come to the surface. The body has not been recovered, although a search has been kept up. Martini had considerable dust on his person as we'll as exchange on outside banks, ali of which was lost to his parent who reside in Portland.

PROPOSE CHANGES IN
MECHANIC LIEN LAW

At a meeting of the Mechanics
Lien Law Commissioners at Newark
yesterday the final conference was
held on the proposed changes in the
lien law. 1t was decided to amend
the act SO that each workman on a
building would have equal rights in
obtaining his pay for services, even
though he may be employed by a
sub-contractor. Another change
decided on was to embrace in the
law a provision that will not allow
n material man to be preferred be-
fore another, even if he files his
claim first. No disposition of the
building will be made until all
claims r filed, when a pro rata
payment will be given. Workmen
on a building still have the right of
priority to obtain a lien on the
structure on which they are working
In preference to the material men.
Assembiyman Arthur A. Quinn is
n OF the commissioners that drew
UP, the revision for the present law.

REV. JOSEPH SzuCHY
NOT AT CEREMONIES

For political reasons, It is under

Holy Trinity R. C. Slovak church,
did not desire to be present at the
reception and entertainment tender
ed DR.. Paul Blaho In Kozusko's hall,
Saturday night. A number of the

affair gave out the program, denot-
Ing that Rev. Szuchy was on hand,
and did speak and introduce DR..
Blaho.
Rev. Szuchy emphatically wishes 1t
to be known that he was not at the
entertainment and reception. He
went to New York city this morning
and left a written statement to that
effect. A close friend said the reason
for this emphatic denial, vas that
he was not Of the same political faith

1t requires four votes to elect. His
absence would leave but three demo-
Gratis and two Republicans on the
board.
Mr.. Seaman asserts he had no idea
that there was to be a deadlock over
the official appointment of John A
Mason as janitor in chief of city hall
and police headquarters, Monday
night. In making the motion, he
thought he was simply carrying out
the general wishes of the Board. Mr..
Mason has been and Is acting as jan
ftor in chief and there seemed
to be any question about his appoint
ment. Things had simply been taken
for granted; they had been permitted
to run along in a ship-shod manner
and consequently there had been no
official appointment, he says. He
claims the council as a whole has the
appointment of janitors.
Alderman Clark took exception to
Mr.. Seaman's action. He, as chair
man of the committee on public
grounds and buildings, had told Mr.
Mason that he was the ~janitor In
chief. He would not see his powers
removed. Alderman John Kutcher
claims he voted against Mason
through a misunderstanding, not be-
ing aware that Mr.. Mason was al
ready employed. Alderman Sand
beck abided by Mr.. Clark's wishes
and also voted with him,
