SAY CUSTOMS DEPUTY
 FAILED TO WARN FISHERS


 More than % Seattle halibut sehoon- CTS now in Alaska waters are in dam ger of being blown up by Canadian mines unless some way is found to warn them. says the Seattle Sun.
 The Canadian government claims it has taken every precaution to keep vessels out of the west end of Brough- ton Strait supposed to have been mined by the admiralty to protect Van couvers and Victoria against Q raid from the north by German warships.
 The fishing craft in Canadian wa ters, have been warned by the Cana, dian officials to keep out of Broughton Strait. The fishing schooner America was told by a Canadian customs boat that it would be exceedingly danger ous to make that passage, and other schoonors fishing north of Vancouver Isand have been notified that Trough toa Strait is closed to navigation.
 The 20 or more fishing schooners in Alaskan waters, however, know noth- ing of the danger. Most of them touch at Ketchikan to get clearance papers, yet the United States officials there have not warned them.
 Four schooners already have plowed through the mine field in ignorance of their danger, The Senator Tom,and- Al. Republic and Sitka escaped de- struction only by good luck, for not word of warning was given them at Ketchikan. according to the Sun.
 Canadian officials have notified aH steamship companies to reroute tneir vessels by Weynton passage and Black, fish sound, and claim to have notified the U. S. customs officials of tho clos mg of the strait The fishing schoon- CTS in Alaska waters. however have not been warned at Ketchikan, while the schooner5 in Canadian waters have been notified by the Canadian authori- ties.
 About 400 Seattle fishermen win risk their lives in the Broughton strait mine field unless they arc warned by the government authorities at Ketchi- kan. The boats of the halibut fleet SO through Broughton strait as q matter of course. and more than 25 Seattle schooners will come through the mined waters in the next six weeks unless they. are warned, either. by Canadian boat at the north entrance to the sfraif or by the U. S. customs author tiles at Ketcbikan, whom the Cana. dians claim to have notified.

 When the foot and mouth disease among cattle developed at Chicago Canada promptly Issued an order that mo meat should be allowed to come within it's borders from the United States. and tho order was made ap plicable to dogs
 The enforcement of the "dog order at Whltehofse, Y. IT, caused Tom Aiken the Northern mining man, to have few more grey hairs added to his scalp, according to reports.
 According to the Whitehorse Star, Aiken left Iditarod, Alaska. for the coast, by way of Seward, taking with him six work dogs. Aitken came to Skagway. and thence to Whitehorse. The Star says
 "He expected to leave here that night for Circle and Fairbanks Al. aska, by way of Dawson, but could not do so with his dogs on account of the quarantine order The result was that Aitken had planned to ship his dogs back to skogway Then Q wire from ottowa to the authorities here ordered the dogs released, which order was obeyed and Aitlen and Monroe left for Dawson at 1 o'clock. their dogs hitched @ ia Labrador Dr. Thompson lost no time after receiy' ing the wire in getting busy with the authorities at the Dominion capital.

THE SECRET OF YOUTH
 FOR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Bv Betty Blarney9


 Whether she looks young whether she looks old at fifty depends to a large extent on a woman herself.
 In olden times once she he'd passed the age Of forty woman was con tent to sit down with folded hands and wait peacefully for old age. She felt that as far as she was concerned youth was over for her altogether. Her companions were always women of her own age or older than herself
 How different things are nowadays! I know a mother past fifty who doesn't look a day older than her daughter of twenty-five. It isn't that she apes youth in her dress, for she dresses suitably and becomingly. But her d- gurc is young and slsnder and energy is written in every line Of her face
 She always has young people sur rounding her and enters with the ut most zest into their occupations and pursuits. In their company she lives over again the days of her youth.
 She is not content to sit down with folded hands just because she has brought up family and seen her daughters well married; nor is she content to stay quietly at home with no interest in life beyond the doings of her neighbors and herself.
 My secret of youth" she told me- "is always to have plenty to do. I'm

 On lho outskirie Of this community gather the bachelors young bucks who have not yot esaayed to break in- to Che seal society aud the females too young to undertake family cares.
 The first duty Of each mature fe- male on reaching the lond iE to bring into the world a#pup.
 This seal pup, barring human ba. bies. is iuss about the pretLiest, live Hest fattest, most playful little brat of an the animals that God put upon tho earth.
 He weighs about ten pounds at birth Ills coat is a rich sort black like the finest black velvet. His great brown eyes are human in their beauty
 The pups gather in groups hudding together like dos pups and plnying l like kittens, yapping and leaping and shaking their fat little sides with seal laughter
 When tho pup is hungry he seeks hig own mother, mover another mother and takes his refreshment as God de- ] signed babies to do
 The pup never ioeds at any breast than his own mothors.
 Keep that fact in mind.
 A great many years ago women be- gan to crave seaislSin coats Women's vanity drove the Russian explorers to hunt new soaiing grounds, and in this way the Pribilcis wore discovered behind the mist curtains which hung over Boring sea.
 A Russian company first exploited the seal islands Two American com pames succeeded, and now the islands are closed to sealing.
 While the killing of seals was com fined to the land Professor Kincaid believes. the harm done to the herds was slight, But the commercial con- diuons, the lease of the privilege to one company, led to the deep sea, or pelagic sealing.
 Once a week the mother seal swims out to sea for food.
 Off shore, some fine morning, Hes a schooner surrounded by small boats, and in each small boat are several skilled gunners or harpooners.
 The glossy head of the mother seal appears a moment above the surface There is a crack, crack of rifles and swish of harpoons.
 4 stain of red spreads over the water and the mother sinks. Perhaps the boats reach her in time to gain pelt perhaps they don't.
 But back on the beach there frol- icke a roly-poly little pup yapping for his breakfast
 In course of time the inevitable hap- pens. The pup yaps it's Inst.
 One of Professor Kincaid's lantern slides showed group of seal pups at play
 The other was a grewsome scene "a beach block with dark little bodies each the price of pelt that went to make ladies coat
 Since Japan has joined in the in. ternational sealing treaty pelagic seal ing is becoming a thing of the past The government still takes a few pelts on the Pribilofs killing the males from to years old.
 The slaughter makes little differ ence in the herd For by the scheme of things. a certain number ot super lnuous males are fated to lay down their lives in battle.
 The announcement of this news was the most cheerful part of Professor KincaId's lecture.

TRAGEDIES OF PRlsiLoFs
 A FASCINATING STORY


 The following is from Q report of a lecture by Professor Kincaid. of the University of Washington, published in the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
 The fur seal it seems, is not truo seal. He is kin to the bear family
 The true seal has no ears. but the fur seal and his bis cousin, the sea lion. have ears like a bear or pig. He is the lineal descendant of 8 bear which has learned to swim.
 Tho fur seal spends his winters In aristocratic- ease around Honolulu, en- toying the warm waters Of the south ern oceans. In the spring che call of the North gets into his blood and 9 law. mysterious as that which makes the tide to How and the salmon to turn their noBes toward the rivers of their birth. starts the fur seal northward 10 the Prlbilof and Com mander islands, which lie. fog enscons- ed, in the Boring sea.
 First come the bulls, kings of the herd.
 These battle-scarred leaders pick out home amongst the rocks, and hay. ing established themseives in cozy apartments by right of conquest, set tio down to await the coming of their consorts.
 The females arrive next The yeaT that Professor Kincald spent on the Pribnof islands. as assistant commis sioner of the fur seal commission headed by Or. David Starr Jordan there were 10000 bulls and 1S0,0oo females.
