WHO BRANDED THIS
 200 POUND HALIeuT?

Down at the New England plant in Ketchikan is a big balibut that weighs over two hundred pounds dressed, with marks on it's back that look like the figures and letters 1907 A K"
 The fish was caught off Cape George by the schooner Senator and taken to Ketchikan, and the fact of the mark. ings on it's back reported to the Gus toms House. As far as anyone has been able to discover there has been no attempt on the part of either the American or Canadian governments to mark any halibut. This kind of fish grow slowly, which makes 1t hard to believe that the fish could have been caught as recently as 1907, and then turned loose after being marked, as the general impression among the fishermen is that the halibut grows but few pounds a year, which would make this particular speciman weigh at least 15O pounds in 1907, which was but seven years ago. In case anyone reading this knows anything about this particular fish, the New England Fish company would appreciate 1t if word concerning same would be sent them as many people are naturally interested in knowing about 1t.

PORTLAND PAPER COMMENTS
 ON ALASKA DOG RACES

The All.Alaska sweepstakes is per haps the most remarkable race in the calendar of sport. It is test of both man and deg. The latter, sensing his responsibility as the snowbound norths most dependable means of transportation for mail and supplies, shows tireless willingness to do his best. The man must husband his dogs strength, must show extraordin. ary skill in caring for his animals; he must be as intelligently careful of his dog as he is of himself.
 It is a race suited only for red. blooded men, for once out upon Alas ka's snowy wastes the man is placed upon his own resources. He has no friends nearby to assist in the event of falling, no person to cheer him on should he falter.
 The contest last winter visualizes Alaska's great need. Transportation is the problem which is to be solved. The dog team will be supplanted by the railroad. Alaska may lose spec tacular sporting event, but the North will gain opportunity for development. When dog racing becomes history, there will be a new Alaska with hopes in the fulfllment. - Portland, Ore, Journal,

DAWSON STUDS ARE
 WORTH MANY THOUSANDS

DAWSON, Aug. 5.-It is estimated the potato crop within few miles of Dawson this year will aggregate 200 to 225 tons. Allowing the average local price of five cents pound ob- tained by the Dawson growers, this will mean $2O,0OO to $25,O00 kept in the country. Other crops grown near here also will keep thousands of dol lars in the country.
 The tomato crop this year is splen' did. Tons of them are being produced near here. Carrots, turnips, celery, beets, parsnips, lettuce, radishes and the like will add greatly to the aggre' gate. Rhubarb also is grown here with great success. Malcolm McLaren, the Sunnydale veteran, brought to the News office today splendid speci men of rhubarb of the tall, tender variety which is virtually skinless, and cooks without having to be stripped He has thirty acres in various crops this year, and others have similar big farms all yielding splendidly.

FINE ORE SPECIMEN
 FROM GOLDEN EAGLE

CoRDovA. Aug. 4.-Harry Rolfe re- turned Monday evening from Port Wells, to which place he had lowed a barge loaded with lumber and sup plies for the Golden Eagle Mining Company. He brought with him a large sample of ore from the property of the company, which has been plac- ed on exhibition m the window of the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
 The specimen is a fair average of the ore body on the claim, and while not of the spectacular variety, 1t shows some free gold. The vein from which the ore was taken Is fifty feet in wid- tn, and an average of sixteen assays of the ore from various places along the width and length of the vein gives $16.40 to the ton. Within this vein, however. are three stringers ranging from one to three feet in width, which run extremely high in value.
 A fiye-stamp mill, Pelton wheel, pipe, etc, has been purchased by the company. and left Seattle on the steamer yesterday. The company ex- poets to have the same installed and the mill in operation within a very short time. all the preliminary work. such as the foundations for the mill, cutting out for the pipe line, and the erection of a dam, having been con- pleted. The stream supplying the water for power carries an ample SUD- ply for the purpose all the year round.

WHAT BIG CROPS
 MEANS TO COUNTRY

It is difficult to grasp the full mean ing of the figures published by the Federal Department of Agriculture on the crop profits of the present year.
 Of the thirty-eight million persons engaged in galnful occupations in the entire country, as reported in the last census. twelve millions, or nearly one third. are at work on the farms,
 Fancy the increased ability to buy that unprecedented har- vests will bring to these millions! And when they begin to buy all the wheels of industry and trade are set in motion. The entire economic struc. ture from the bottom up is lifted,
 And as to money yalues-it Is like ly that this years crops will be worth at least $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO. Alongside such a sum the $S2,OOO,OOO gold ex- ported to Europe since the beginning of the year looks like Goose change" New York Herald.

ALAsKA'S OPPORTUNITY
 IS NOW AT HAND

Alaska's opportunity is at hand. The government Is preparing to in- stall an exhibit of Alaskan products at the Panama.Paclfc International exposition, and special invitation has been extended to all farmers of the Territory to furnish samples of the crops that can be grown under the tropical rays Of the midnight sun. Panama farmers especially are request ed to contribute to the collection of Northern-grown cereals and other products, and We feel safe in pre- dieting that the exhibit shipped from our fertile valley will constitute one of the big attractions of the exposi- ltion.
 This is the opportunity we have been anxiously awaiting. It gives us our chance to show the world what we can do, agriculturally, in this Northern country. and we have no doubt the display will prove sufficient ly impressive to attract many home. seekers to Interior Alaska It is the best kind of advertising that We can get, and the more complete the exhlb- 1t, the greater the results will be.
 The Alaska exhibit will be seen by hundreds of thousands of persons who have heard much but who know little of our country and less of the particu- lar valley which is our home. Their interest in Alaska has been aroused by the passage of the railroad bin and by the promise of development in all parts of the Territory. They will look for the Alaska exhibit if they know that there Is one at the ex- position, but we venture to say that few of the strangers win be prepared for the sight which will greet their eyes. They will learn from one glimp- SC at the Alaska exhibit than we could hope to teach them with many volumes of printed matter descriptive of our resources.
 The farmers of Interior. Alaska ap- preciate the importance of such an exhibit, and we can rely upon them to respond enthusiastically to the call for samples which has been issued by the government through Superintend- ent Neal of the experiment farm. But someone must assist in the work of assembling the exhibit and preparing 1t for shipment to San Francisco. This comes properly within the scope of the Commercial club. and affords that body a splendid opportunity to con tribute to the success of the under taking. A friendly administration has given us the chance to show what we can do, and 1t is up to us to make good. It is to be hoped that there will be no lack of co-operation.-Fairbanks Times.

KETcHIKAN AssAYER
 LOCATES PLATINUM

KETCHIKAN, Aug. Recently in assaying copper ore from Karta Bay. Edwin Brown, assayer. detected the presence of platinum-further in- vestigation showed 1t to be present in quantities varying from a trace to .S2 oz.. per ton (present quotation $44.00 per ounce.) His attention was called to platinumiferous copper ore from the Clarance straits side of Kasaan pen insula an assay showing $1.sO per ton platinum. These points are several miles from one another. Both are in altered periodite. That platinum is widespread is apparently evident. The Bureau of Mines has asked to be kept informed and if further results warrant they will make special in vestigation.

 SALMON IN GLASS JARS

The swift.Arthur-Crosby Company, which operates a salmon cannery on Heceta Island, in Southeast Alaska, will try the experiment this season of packing Red salmon in glass jars, two thousand of which have been brought North to the cannery The jars, which will each hold one pound of salmon, are fitted with automatic sealing tops. The company hopes that the Red sal mon will present such an exceedingly attractive appearance in these jars that better price win be obtained than for those packed in tin cans.
