WRANGELL ASKS FOR
 DRY STRAIT CHANNEL

The wrangen Chamber of Com merce has begun work again to se- cure an appropriation for dredging Q channel through Dry strait so as to obyiate the necessity of vessels run ming through Wrangell Narrows. It is contended that the removal of 2O.- OOO. .OOO cubic yards of sand would make a deep channel through Dry strait that would accommodate any class of vessels, making saving in a round trip to any point north of Wrang- ell of 300 miles for those vessels that are too large for Wrangell Narrows, of more than 20 miles for those that use the narrows, and make naviga- ton safe fer both classes, besides oo- viating the necessity that often rises to await for a proper stage of the tide or proper weather conditions.
 Other Alaska towns are to be asked to aid in getting an appropriation for the work.

EUROPE SUSTAINS
 PRESIDENT WILSON

NEW YORK, April 22.-New York morning newspapers quote long edi' torials appearing in European news papers this morning which were ca bled in advance. The capture of Vera Cruz yesterday and the shedding of blood as the outgrowth of the troubles between Washington and Mexico City have stirred the press of the old world to realization of the gravity of the situation. The tendency had been to treat is as simply another of many crises.
 Practically without exception the European newspapers praise President Wilson for the forbearance and mod eration he has exhibited in his deal ings with Mexico. Most of them quote with approval the Presidents declar- ation that 1t is not the purpose of the United States to make war on the people of Mexico or to pursue a pol icy of self.agrmdizement, but only to restore conditions so that the. people of that country can set up constitu- tional government.

CAPT. FORBES SAYS
 SMALL 1914 PACK

Speaking of the outlook for the sal. mon canneries for the season of 1914, Capt. Robert Forbes, head of the Pa ciflc-American Fisheries company. op- erating largely at Excursion Inlet this morning: q prophecy a poor run and small pack, and it's good thing, too. The prices to the packers are al- together too low, although the consum- CT seems to be paying a fair price for his fish. There is something radically wrong when fish cannot be put Ip at a fair profit with the consumer paying Q fair price. The middle men-too many of them-are absorbing all of the profits. Perhaps with light pack this year things may be adjusted 80 that the packers will get living price for the product,
 There has ben wonderful Increase in fish consumption in the past few years, yet the packers are operating at a loss, When the 1913 pack went on the market, counting the million left over from 1912, there were about 9,OO0,OOO cases on hand. The con sumption was about S,0O0OO0 cases, still leaving about a million cases to carry over. Now if we put up small CT pack this season and wipe out that million surplus, the canners should get a better price next year, and the con sumer will still get his fish at reas- enable price. As matters now stand with an abundant supply the middle men are demanding and getting all the profits"
 Capt. Forbes, Mrs. Forbes and their son and daughter arrived in Juneau on the Mariposa last night and will be in Juneau until the next sailing of the Georgia for Sitka.
