Alaska Salmon

As I saw the Admiral Watson taking on thousands of cases of salmon at Seldo7ia l asked Mir. Randolph how long the fish then being shipped had been out of the water. He said: "Only a day. They go from here to Seattle and can be on your table in New York iu three or four weeks after they are caught" Fresh fish.
 Mir. Randolph said that one of the choicest delicacies be ever ate was a mess of breaded broiled hearts of the big king salmon. Some of these fish 1SO pounds each, while the red or

George W. Joseph, an attorney from Portland, went to Sitka, Alaska, six weeks ago, shortly after an operation that was the continuation of eight years of ill health. He returned from the North yesterday and is at the Seattle, en route home, his face tanned like piece of sole leather aud with good health radiating from every inch of him. "I went North in search of health and certainly found it," he said yesterday. "I heard of hot springs resort near Sitka and headed right for it.

"sockeye" salmon average only eight pounds. "They taste like sweetbreads," he added. "It is too bad they are wasted" And SO are the fine, large flyers, as big as your hand, and the spawn which if it were sturgeon eggs would command high price for caviar. Plans to utilize some of these products are being studied by Mir. Randolph and by others Another tidbit is the little chunk of sweet, tender meat lodged in the cheek of the salmon, just below the gills. The canners reserve such deli cacies for themselves and their friends, but the time will come when they will find special mention on the menus of the highest priced restaurants.
 The cauners get at wholesale only about 13 cents for one pound can of the best red salmon and only half the price for the pinks and even less for the white. The red salmon constituted only three .sevenths of the pack, but three fourths in value of the entire product. The public prefers the red meat and is willing to pay double price for it. So much for gratifying taste. John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's.

Truth About Alaska

Iruth About Alaska
 Strangled by bureaucracy, by oppres- sive governmental rules and the lack of intelligent legislation, Alaska's early struggle was for public recognition of it's condition, it's needs and its but par tially explored riches. ln this struggle Seattle, led by the Alaska Bureau of ite Chamber of Commerce, lent a hand, and by its insistance finally brought congress and the national administra- tion to realization of it's plight. Help ful legislation has been procured, and the great territory is now on the verge of an awakening, says the Seattle P..L
 Public interest has been aroused and men of influence in the East have come and more are coming to see the rich wilderness for themselves. Many peo- pie are getting a glimpse. of the truth about Alaska from personal inspection but an infinitely larger portion of the people is being served in this respect by the publicity now accorded by the press.
 Among the recent helpful publicity is the narrative of John A. Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Weekly, now appear ing in regular installments in that periodical. Mr. Seicher made the round trip from Seattle last summer on the steamship Admiral Watson. He saw Alaska from the viewpoint of a trained newspaper man, and wealth l of features crowds bis story. With this, he lends intimacy Co his narrative through the accompanying illustra. tious of the great mountains, the nest ling villages, the reaches of rockbound waters, and the indigenous life. The author tells the truth about Alaska which he calls "the laud of the greatest opportunity"
 1 Mr. Sleicher saw the gold, the noun taius of copper, the vast areas of coal deposits, the wealth of salmon, the will derness of cedar and spruce trees, the picturesque, the sublime, the material and the beautiful; a bewilderiug wealth of riches, material and ideal, with only a scattering of humanity to enjoy it.
 Something of the authors enthusiasm is reflected in this excerpt from his story:
 "Alaska is the gittering diamond of America's diadem. 1t reveals to the visitor, multiplied one hundred fold, the beautiful Thousand Island reion of the St. Lawrence, the iords of Norway, the snow-covered Alps, and the glacial wonders of Iceland. It has the sweet. est flowers, the most luxuriant vegeta- bles, the finest grazing and timber lands, the richest fisheries and mineral deposits, and a most healthfu climate with the warmth of the Middle states in winter, along Southern and Western Alaska, and the dry, healing cold of the Arctic in the highest attitudes of the territory 1t has produced fish, furs, gold and copper worth S5OO0O0o0O Was it a good bargain?'
 Publicity like this is the great need of Alaska. The territory awaits the toil and intelligence of man to mould its wealth to human purposes. When publicity brings these elements togeth CT the world will receive its greatest message from the North.

number of interior newspapers. which have always and consistently opposed the construction, manning and equipment of an adequate navy, are making a great deal of the recent re- marks of General Goethals about the coast defenses of this country With an entire misunderstanding of what the general said and meant, they insist that they have this sound military au- thority to support their view that the existing coast defenses of this country afford ample protection to it from hos tile attack.
 The general in substance said that no fleet could force the coast defenses adjacent to our great cities. He point ed to the difficulty which the great all lied fleet has had in forcing the Oar danelles as one illustration in point. But no person who has the slightest Knowledge of the subject has contend ed that any hostile attack upon this 1t at the start on tho coast defenses of the great cities. That would be fool ish.

 point. The three forts at the head ot the strait of Fuea could probably pre- vent the passage of any hostile fleet to attack Seattle. Yet. if an enemy fleet were approaching our saores convoying transports loaded with troops. there is not the faintest proba bility that the fleet would attempt tC pass these forts. Why shosld it? With out coming within more than remote l forts, the fleet could steam calmly intc Bellingham Bay, where not gun is i mounted, and land an army under the protection of its own guns without the slightest difficulty in the world. l It could do the same thing, but witt slightly more difficulty and only under 1 favorable weather conditions, at dog ems of places along tfA Atlantic coast ITO establish adequate coast defense, at every passible point for the land l ing of hostile force on America shores would cost infinitely more thar the construction of navy greater thar that of Great Britain.-P.-I

City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, JUNE 1s, 1915.

AS the German war reports recently added 10 the already extensive news service furnished by the Nugget have attracted much attention and also been the subject Of considerable discussion owing to the frequent divergence from the reports sent out by the press bureaus of the other belligerent na tions, We take the occasion to point out To the public that in adding this new source of information We are now publishing the reports of both sides in the great struggle and the public are thereby enabled to judge more accur- ately the events of the mighty con tict which is now holding the attention of the entire world. While we have no doubt that the reports furnished heretofore which were mainly from French and British sources, were fair indications of the facts attending the clash of the giant armies in Europe. it is never the less submitted that they representedf the views of only one side and the reading public had little or no opportunity to see the course of events as viewed from the standpoint of the opposing nations, During the period through which the war has en- dured it has been frequently remark ed that the German side was hardly given what was termed a fair repre- sentation in the local papers. The preponderance of news from British and French sources may have been so far as the quantity of news from both sources is concerned it is admit ted that the contention is supported by the evidence, for the German re- ports have indeed been few by com parison. This, however, was not the fault of the publishers but was due mainly to the fact that but very little news from Berlin was received in the United States until recently owing. it is said. to the severenee of cable com munication with Germany early in the
 
 overcome and the German and Aus trian governments are sending out daily reports through the medium of the great wireless station at Sayville, Long Island. which is in direct com munication with Berlin and the world is thus enabled to hear the German version of the various features of the great struggle. It is these reports that the Nugget is now publishing As to their Veracity we cannot presume to offer judgment and if they conflict with that is a matter for the consideration of the public who must form their own estimate of which is right or wrong The object of this paper is to furnish the news without bias and without re gard to our personal views. Like the reports from London and Paris the German reports have the official sane tion of that government, and may therefore be taken as the evidence for the German side without hesitation. Whatever may be the merits of the several reports it is undeniably true that through the addition of the new service. the public of Nome can obtain a much clearer view of the present his- tory making events in Europe than un- der previous conditions where in the version of one side was the principal object upon which to base ones knowl- edge of what was transpiring This extensive addition to the daily news service of the Nugget does not mean
