Life Boats Not Required
 On HaIibut Vessels

Frank Twichell, manager of the San Juan Fishing & Pack ing Co.,, recently called the al tention of George Uhler, super 'vising inspector general of the steamboat inspection service, Washington, D. o., to the fact that if the halibut vessels oper- ating on this coast had to car ry the life boats prescribed by law it would be impossible to find room aboard the vessel for the large number of dories carried for the use of the fish ermen and made the point that the dories take the place of the life boats and would be more ample for the use of the whole crew in case of accident.
 As a result of Mir. Twichell's S able presentation of the case of the halibut vessel owners, the Bureau has waived the re- quirement of life boats aboard halibut fishing vessels and hereafter the fishing dories will be all that are required.

-FnoM THuRsDAvss DAILY < Mild Curing Prospects for 1014

The season of 1913 was one of the worst ever experienced by the mild-curers of this coast.
 The success of the previous season brought a number of small operators into the Alaska field, and owing to the result
 ing heavy competition for fish, the price paid to the fishermen was boosted so high that it was impossible for the operators to make any money. A larke quan- tity of fish was put up in very Fslipshod manner, and what little of it has been sold went off at a greatly reduced price, while the balance is still held .unsoid on this coast or in stor- age in New York. This heavy stock of poorly prepared fish has also prevented the sale of the good stock, unless the own CTS of the latter were willing to accept cost, or less, for same, and as most of the packers were not willing to do this a considerable quantity of it is still in first hands, but will eventually be sold at profit when the eastern smokers thoroughly grasp the difference between it and the poor stock offered.
 The poor condition of the market has led to a decided curtailment of operations, a number of the small operators packing in Alaska having de- cided to do no curing the com ing season. The big operators will continue to do business,

FROM vNEDMEsDAvs~DAlLy

Washington, April 15-A wire less from the Navy Department after a conference of the cabinet last night directed Admiral Mayo on the arrival of the Att. lantic fleet at Tampico to send a boat ashore with the demand that the Mexican comr1ander salute the American flag at once, and in case he refused, to to notify him that marines will be landed within twenty-four hours if the order is not com- piled with, and possession taken of the Federal forts and har- racks. In the event that the Mexicans attempt to resist the. landing of the marines, the ships of the fleet are to shell the city driving back the Mex jeans, when the marines will be landed and the original pro- gram carried out. The Prairie with something over six hum dred marines on board is now at Tampieo, and the Hancock with about seven hundred more will arrive at TampicO tomor-, row night. The general inn pression here is that Huerta, is now anxious for the United, States to intervene and thus prevent the rebels attacking the City of Mexico and. executing him. The torpedo boat flotilla, which has been gathering at Galveston quietly for the past several weeks, was directed to report at once to the admiral in command of the Atlantic fleet. .4.

ALASkA'S HEROG

Some psychologists have de- clared that there is no such thing as an absolutely unselfish action, and that no one is ever moved by a puerly altrustic emotion. Probably those psychologists have gained this opinion from a study of their own sentiments, for it is quite certain that such a conclusion could not have been reached from a thorough study of the class of humanity that is rep resented by the sturdy Ameri- can pioneers, says the Alaska Citizen.
 No better test of recent times has been made of mems un- selfishness than that which was made when the search was re- 
 gently being carried on for the body of Mrs. Lizzie Stropp fol- lowing the snowslide near WOrtman's in which she and P. 0. Berglund were killed. EX- posed to a bitter cold and dang CT of more slides, a large force of men worked night and day for several days to uncOcer her body. These men received nothing for thoir efforts except food they ate while at work, and that was provided for them by the Mayor of Valdez.
 It was not because these men knew the victims of the slide personally or that they could expect i'll any manner any sort of reward, that they underwent such severe hardships. There was not even the possible chance that the world would ever know of their connection with the difficult task. They performed the work and suf- fered night and day the intense cold through the promptings of their unselfish humanity.
 Many a general and many an admiral have been immortaliz- ed for less bravery and less personal sacrifice than marked the heroic efforts of these worthy Alaskans, who have re- turned to their daily routine in life without any effort to let the world know of their iden- tity.

The Commercial Club of
 Ketchikan held a very interest
 ing meeting at the Council
 Chambers last night, at which
 matters of general importance Ito ketchikan were discussed. For instance the matter of securing a Federal building for
 Ketchikan was gone into and a
 letter read , from Delegate
 Wickersham promising his support and assistance in se-
 curing same.i Then the ques- Ition of shells suitable for but
 ton making was talked over,
 and it looks as though results from this are probable. A com-
 mittee was appointed to look
 into the advisability of getting up a banquet or other public function of a like nature for t"Get Together" purposes, the lintention being, if possible to hold same ill Red Mems Hall and invite all the members of the Club and their womenfolk, land such outsiders as may be decided on. The committee twas instructed to take the mat
 ter up with the different local |caterers and see if any of them would be able to handle such a
 large number of people.
 And then came the main l'event of the evening, the de- fcision to call for ideas for a slogan for Ketchikan. Some lime ago, Secretary Mitchell
 made the suggestion that the
 Club, for the town, adopt a slo-
 gan, and submitted one, "Ket- |chikan: The Southern Gateway
 of the Awakening North.'' The
 matter was discussed last night, and the suggestion made that
 the Club offer prixe of $i0.00
 in cash for the best slogan of Ifered, the only limitation being
 that the suggestions offered be sent or delivered to Secretary
 M. A. Mitchell on or before May
 tenth, and should not contain
 more than ten words, the short.
 CT the better. The Club at it's next regular meeting; May i3, will decide which of the slogans submitted is the sone they want
 to use and the cash will then
 be paid forthwith. & [ Seventeen s members were
 present at the meeting, and ac- cording to the report of the Secretary-treasurer, the Club now has in the neighborhood of
 six hundred dollars in the treasury.
