and enough for food purposes to carry
the total up to the sum of $191 10000.
There are a total of 200 men employ
ed in this branch of the fisheries, but
the day is not far distant when there
will be more than a thousand men
pulling their nets for them in season
and instead of using one Of the finest
food fishes of the world for fertilizer
they will be found in the markets
of the world as choice Alaska kipper-
ed herring, sardines, ETC., and the mil
lions of dollars paid to foreign coun-
tries for fish, prepared and preserv-
ed, will be distributed among the
Alaska fishermen.
There is one fishery that was dis
covered, and is worked to it's fullest
capacity. The next few years will de-
eide whether it will be preserved as
one of the great industries of the land
or whether it will go the way of the
sea-otter and the whale fisheries,

Where one boat fits out for the cod
banks at present there will in few
years be fifty and the industry can
be carried out Under better conditions
than are founded on the iceberg in
tested, fog-cOvrred banks Of New
foundland. II look years to remove
the prejudiceS in the minds of people
that the cod OF the Pacific was not
so good as that of the Atlantic. The
ocean is not as salt in the Pacific
they said and lie cod are not so good.
They did not find out better until
they discovered that they were eating
Pacific cod when the Atlantic cod
was short and that they could not tell
the difference.
One day the people of the United
States who eat fish discovered that
there was a fine whitemcated denl-
zen of the northern waters called the
halibut that was fit to grace the table
or King or of any mai Then the
fishermen went out and began to
catch them. They fished them OFF
the wharves till they became scarce,
then they went a little further and
dragged them up from the inland
passages from Ketchikan TO Skagway
and packed them in thu ice OF the
glaciers that floated about the inlets'
until the white monster and the
chicken halibut began to grow scarce.
Then to the sea the fishermen went
and from the banks off shore are tax
ing their catch and are sending them
from Washington to Florida and from
San Francisco to Boston More than
thousand men find employment IN
this fishery, their equipment IS val
ued at nearly two and one-half mil
lion dollars and each year they send
fish to the markets of the united
States to the value of over half a mil
lion dollars.
Scotland, lying half way around the
EARTH with its capital almost directly
east of us, catches and preserves a
crop OF herring that sells for $ll'ooo''
oOO. % each year. On the coast OF
Norway the herring brought in from
the waters by the fishermen's boats
are valued at from four to five MIL
lion dollars year and from 25'ooo 10
10000 men are employed at it during
the season. OF the finished products
OF that fishery, sardines, anchoVy

import nearly two million dollars per

TIME NORTHERN waters are the
great storehouses of the fish foods
of the world and Alaska is one
OF the greatest. For more than a
century and half civilized peoples
have been gradually discovering the
riches, exploiting one resource after
another. some of them to the point
of utter depletion. while others have
as yet only been discovered to exist
The sea-otter fishery. discovered by
the survivors of Behring'S expedition
in 1741. led the Russians along the
Aleutian islands and they gathered a
rich plumber from the sea. This fish
cry was nearly exhausted when the
Russian American Company was or
ganized. but Baranoff gathered about
1000 skins per year up to 1878, al
though TO procure these he secured the
sea with his AleutS as far south as
San Quentin Bay in Lower California
and took the last colony of offers
from under the very noses OF the
Spanish DOnS of San Francisco Bay.

In 1913 the industry had declined
through the unceasing pursuit of the
animals until but one shore whaling
station was maintained. The total
catch of the season was lS6 whales.
The previous season the catch was
6S5.
The whalers still go to the Arctic

of the interesting annals of the north

the pursuit of the aquatic monsters
from among the ice flows off Point
Barrow where so many vessels have
been crushed in the pack. Three YES

during 1913 and of these one was
crushed by the ice and wrecked, while

One of the most difficult Of the
editors jobs is to get facts about
births: marriages and deaths. Peo-
pie seem to think he ought to know
these things by intuition. If not
that. the birth. marriage or death
is of such Importance in the I'M
mediate family that it is presumed
the editor will be informed by some
wireless or just grow into the i'll

comes out, and no mention is made
of the event, the editor is blamed
for not running a good newspaper

MOTHERS PENSIONS

The Mothers Pension Law OF
this state is all right in principle
but the method Of paying them is
not yet perfected. The first case
to be adjusted in this county came
from Dwight and the expense fell
too heavily upon that little town.
1t would seem that the chi,f en-
pense Of mothers pensions should
be borne by the whole county and
state rather than by a small viii
lage when the mother happens to
reside in one. Why not have an in
heritance tax law to provide the
fund from which worthy mothers
might be pensioned when they are
left with the care of children?
