TIE ALASKA HERRING.

w LILLE discussing the herring fisheries of Southeastern N IVY asla the other day. Phillip G. Flnke, manager of the AL
 aska oil & Guano O., which has been operating plant Ksnoo for the past thirty made the remark that the public feeling against converting the fish taken into the fer
 er so bitter that the company had dessted from the practice having fortunately found byproduct from the residue after extracting the oil that made excellent chicken feed But this does the question why Aaska herring IS not packed in commercial quantities food for human beings
 According Mir Funcke the herring taken in the waters of Southeastern Alaska from the first of June to the close of September unfit for packing account of the small red bug that upon during that period and that the expense o herring fishing other of the year makes 1t npro able to engage in it.
 It is pointed out that Norway herring fishers also farm small way and for this they put up herring much cheap and economically than be done in Alaska under present conditions.
 Obviously then the proper thing for Alaska to do if herring is to be caught food fish emulate Norway and make our fisher folk small farmers well.
 But nearly all of Southeastern Alaska has been made into vast National forest reservation and settle down and himself without obtaining the consent of the forestry bureau, obtaining tle this is remey doubtful unless the bureau officials disposed to re- nquh holdings favor of the individual who has settled upon land and improved it. There is nothing in the aspect of Southeastern Alaska that will appear attractive to fisher farmers at this time

WEST WATERLOO WINS.

The Manchester High school basl-
ct ball team was defeated last Fri
day evening in a hard:fought game
by the West Waterloo High school
team at that place. At the close of
the first half Of the game the score
was tied, each team having secured
eight points. The following is taken
from the Waterloo Courier and Re-
porter regarding the game:
Waterloo west high basket tossers
were pushed hard Friday night in a
close contest with the Manchester
high school team. Until far into the
second half the outcome of the game
hung in the balance, and but for
Bragdon' accurate basket shooting,
the local men might have met dis
aster.
AT the toss-up the teams were as
follows:
Z West high-Bragdon, R. F.; Mil
Ter, J. F.; Royce, G.; Davis, r. G.;
Glasener, L. G. ~-. -
+ Manchester = Cook, R. F.; Bis
sell, L. e.; Robinson, c.; Phenicie,
R. G.; Brockmeier, L. G.
During the firstR10 minutes Of
play no field goals were made. Both
sides fouled frequently and were
warned by Referee Sharp to play a
cleaner game. Toward the end of
the half .Nauman was placed for
Miller but Phenicie, Manchesters
fast guard, played a stellar game,
himself making the eight scores that
tied west high at the end of the pc
riod. :, ..-
In the second half Manchester
took the lead, but with defeat immi-
nent, west high men played hard.
Davis did excellent work in guarding
the Manchester goal and many times,
with long throws, returned the ball
to- west highs territory. Bragdon,
however saved the game with a Sc
ries of field goals, that made the
final count 23 to 16, with the local
school on top

Monster Fog Horns.

One of the monster foghorns in the
United States lighthouse service is ca
pable Of emitting a sound that can be
heard twenty-five or thirty miles at
sea. It looks like half of a subma-
rine boat and a man Of ordinary stat
ure can easily step into it. These mon
ster foghorns are worked by compress
ed air furnished by an engine Of from
twenty to twenty-five horsepower. 1t
would be something miraculous could
lung power be generated on the fog
horn scale. For instance, the siren
is blown periodically every seventy,
eighty or ninety seconds or so, the ac-
tual blast, lasting about two or three
seconds. That means that while the
compressed, air is making 1nournful
scadences something like 500 horsepow-
er. is being expended in the produc-
ton of the sound.-Boston Herald.
