 The bitter indictment of Congress in the annual report Of Secretary ot the Navy Daniels, because of the great loss of life and ships in the waters of Alaska through the penur- ious policy of that body in denyinig adequate funds for surveys and sur vey vessels, was one of the most scathing ever made in public docu- ment. Only a faint idea of the docu- ment was conveyed in the brief cablegram received by the Daily Alaskan. at the time the report was submitted last week. The full text of the report was received in to- days mail by the steamer Mariposa. 1t tells some plain, cold-blooded facts about, neglect of the govern ment-factss which } Alaskans and people of the North Pacific coast are familiar with. but which they have heretofore been unable to bring before Congress in way to secure results desired. It is believed the majority of Congressmen are not so apathetic as to prevent them from being stirred to action by these burning words of the. secretary. Fol lowing are some of the hot shot the secretary fires at Congress:
 "Our citizens have been drowned in Alaskan waters and both public and private property has been de- stroyed because of. the penurious- ness of the United States govern ment.
 Vessels now in the service of the coast and geodetic survey are anti quated and dilapidataed; they are without sufficient power to gain steerage way in heavy weather and should be condemned. x sis-9ss,gat Tt is a shameful thing to send American officers and men to sea in

 A late paper from Boston received by Alvah Flames brings the informa- tion that the shipment of 100000 humpback salmon eggs from Afog- nak, Alaska, had been received at Bangor, Me. They are to be divided equally between the United States hatcheries at Greene Lake and East Orland for development. These eggs were shipped across the conti- nent in a federal fisheries depart ment ear kept at temperature of 40 degrees, in charge of J. P. Foley, of Massachusetts, the car captain, and several assistants. The eggs were not in the least affected by the jar of railroad travel. About the first of February they will have de- veloped into fishes an inch long, and will then be ready for planting in Maine coast rivers, the localities selected being Damariscotta, Wal dobor, Union River, Rockland and other places eastward to the St.. Croix.
 This is the second year of the United States government experi- ment in transplanting Pacific salmon to Atlantic waters. The success of the experiment requires five years for demonstration, but it is to be noted that 95 per cent of last years eggs were successfully matched.
 Among arrivals on the train from the interior, which reached Cordova a o'clock this afternoon, were six from Fairbanks, who came through to Chitina by horse stage in eight days. They reported eight inches of snow on the summit, but at other points the record "dry" season con tinues and retards work at winter diggings because of inability to move freight fast enough.

COrdOva, December
 The body of Mrs. Jack Shepard, a native of Alaska and pioneer of Cor dova, who had been missing since last Saturday, was found on the beach a few rods north of the dock by N. P. Nelson about 11:3O this forenoon. The body was clothed in street costume with the exception of the bonnet, which was missing. MT. Nelson, who is a longshoreman, dis covered the body as he was passing in a small boat He brought it to the float at the dock and notified Commissioner Adams, who held an inquest this afternoon.
 Mrs. Shepard was last seen alive late. Saturday evening. She came from the Orca cannery in the com pany launch earlier in the day to attend the funeral of Mrs. Clio, and all trace of her was lost after she left the house in Oldtown where the funeral was held, so the Daily Alaskan was informed by Sox Stew ems, a nephew, who had been searching for her since Sunday.
 Mrs. Shepard was about 50 years of age and the mother of six chil- dren, all of whom reside in or near Cordova. MT. and Mrs. Shepard separated last spring. He is also a we'll known pioneer of the city.
 The jury consisted of M. Finkel- stein, Harry Rolf, Camille McGowan, F. Marshall, M. w. Dietrick, and A. J. Henneke.
 The verdict of the jury was that Mrs. Shepard was accidentally drowned. It is presumed she fell overheard from the float while at tempting to get aboard the launch Saturday night.
 A. G. Montgomery of Clyde, Kansas, is anxious to learn of the whereabouts of his son, Dr. Mont gomery, who was in Cordova in July, 1913, and was one of the first to join the stampede to Shushanna. Anyone knowing the doctors pres ent address will confer favor on his anxious father and family by writing the former at the address above given.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Here's a real war item. Victor Linart, a Belgian entered in the six-day bi- cycle race here, got in training for the event by running from the Ger mans. Linart admits that he won the now famous dash from Antwerp when the Germans captured the city, but was the. first to reach the famous coast resort.
 Linart is the middle distance champion of. Belgium. After reach ing Ostend ahead of all the other starters, Linart went to Folkstone, England, where he was refugee. A German shell wrecked his home during the bombardment of Ant werp and he lost his racing outfit. This did not interfere with his speed in reaching Ostend, however, and Floyd Mcfarland, managing the six-day race had new togs waiting for him here In a letter to McFar- land while at Folkstone, Linart said:
 ''I rode my wheel from Antwerp to Ostend, and it was a hard ride. was one of the last to leave Ant werp and the first to arrive in Os- tend Making wide detours to escape the awful congestion on the main highway tripled the distance and riding at tip speed all the time put me in fine shape"

 We hesitate to make any sugges- tions regarding possible ways in which to settle the terrific baseball war that has left so many magnates hoarse and throaty, for fear of hav- ing the Noble Peace prize pinned on us.

American League Big Bill Devery and the Federals Gill more. it ought to be even up and time to shake hands all around.
 The secret is out. Harvard's suc- cess, despite the JOSS of Brickley, was explained by a Crimson grad the other day. Brickley's appendix, kept in a bottle. was surreptitiously carried to New Haven by two super stitious undergrads who had access to where it was kept. Those two times that Yale threatened to score, the bottle was unwrapped and held on high. Believe it or not, that 5 the way it was told to us.

TOWN MEETING
Monday. March 2nd, Arson VIII
hold its annual town meeting Let
the attendance be large so that every
voter of the town will know what is
being done See that the appropria-
tons are kept down to actual neees-
stiles. Curtail the expenses in every
department of the town work if pos
sible to do so. It's easy enough to
make appropriations at the town
meeting but quite another thing to
meet the appropriations. The town
should not allow the appropriations
made to be overdrawn. Use the money
the town voted to use, and then stop.
The town meeting is business meet
ing and should be conducted in bust
ness way.
