FROM FRIDAYS DAILY PLENTY OF HERRING

At last it looks as though the herring shortage which has handicapped the halibut bus mass more than ever before in the history of this region, is al an end at last. Two big hauls were made yesterday, and as the result both the New Eng land Fish company's cold stor- age plant and that of the Ket- chikan Cold Storage company are both busily engaged today freezing the catch. Unless the weather gets suddenly cold CT, there is every probability that herring will be plentiful the balance of the winter.

PERMANENCY OF ALASKA

Possibly no other sign SD luch emphasizes the perman- ncy of Alaska, and the pass ag of the old order of things, the fact that three daily apers are now using Associat I Press service, and a fourth as applied for the news. To ring the communities of AL ska, i'll which these papers ave thelr being, in touch with Il parts of the world, through he agency of the Associated aress, (which has reliable and conservative news gathersrs in very part of the globe, is a tr0ke of enterprise showing he absolute faith of the pub : fishers in their communities.
 It costs money to get the Associated Press service, in ad ition to the regular telegraph oil, which is higher in Alas Sa than in almost any other part of the world.
 But the service is worth it.. And it is a sure indication thas Alaska is settling down to the business of permanent develop nent. To know that daily )aperers in Alaska are served with the news of the great association, will convince cap talists and others that the ter itory is making rapid strides awards statehood, and that he transcient industrial con lions of yesterday have be ome established and perman Tt, and have passed the eN : perimental stage.
