can be kept at an output of almost
 the present production for all time.
 Through the passes of the Aleutian
 Islands run immense schools of Atka
 mackerel. The natives take them by
 going in their bidarkas to the fishing
 grounds. where one of the canoemen anchors the boat by holding to a kelp
 while the other reaches down into the water with a pole on the end of which is fastened a hook. This is drawn up quickly upon feeling the fish of the school against the pole and the mackarel are gaffed by the hook. In this way they load a bi- darka in a few hours. No fishing in a commercial way has been done for these and in the future an indus try cain be built up in that country that will yield rich returns. for count less thousands of the fish pass be- tween the islands from Attu to the Shumagins.
 While considering the vast Quan- titles of food fishes to be taken com mercially. the red cod. the black cod, founders, etc. One must not forget the myriads of game fishes of the dis trict. To attempt to enumerate them is too long task. for there are many, from the black Sea Bass that you may take by trolling among the islands at Sitka to the grayling of the tributar- ies of the Yukon. Of these mention will only be made of the trout, the prince of game fishes. There are many different kinds in the waters and they comprise the cutthroat, the the rainbow, the Dolly Var den or salmon trout, the grayling or Arctic trout, and the lake trout. Al most every mountain stream from the Arctic Circle south is filled with them unless the glacial silt is too thick in the water for them to live. In the lakes of the passes of the Alaskan range almost at the foot of Mt Me are trout that are so large as almost to pass belief. To find them of weight of twenty-five pounds is not unusual, and records have been made of specimens of 40 pounds. No where in the world does better chances

employ about twenty thousand men, and the output is of a value of nearly of nearly $15.00O,OOO.OO.
 The cannerieS have not yet been established on the Yukon river all though both the king and dog salmon run up the river, the king salmon sometimes is caught of large size, specimens of over 100 pounds having been taken, and they go up the riv- CT for over 2.O0O miles from the mouth. The Indians know July as the king salmon month, for in ascend ing the river they get to the upper reaches at about the time the first packets of the steamer line reaches there. making the trip from St. Mich ael to the boundary in July.
 The preserving of the salmon i'm dustry in Alaska means simply allow ing enough fish to get to the spawn ing grounds to reproduce the species. Making q record catch without re- gard to the future means that the sal mon will go the way of the sea-otter and the whale, with the proper con- solidation for the future and with the elimination of the waste, the industry

this store. Mir. Valentine, himself. wrought the first wedding ring, for Mrs. John Olds, widow of the founder of the Occidental Hotel.
 It was in 1889 that MT. Valentine organized the Board of Public Safety. Juneau's governing board until the town was incorporated in 1900. He was chairman of the board for five years. and drew up the ordinances. made out the tax lists and performed other duties without compensation. He bought with his own money the equipment for the first Fire Depart ment, including hose carts and a hook and ladder truck. He had a water system installed and with the pur- pose in view of reducing wharf rates, built the Peoples Wharf. Simultan- eously with the docks completion, wharfage dropped from s2 to $1. coal from SIG to $l1 a ton. and freight rates from $14 to $4.
 In 1908 he was elected mayor. At
 
 was as high as $14. He immediately reduced it to sS having the city go into the coal business. He also sue ceeded in getting freight rate of $4 per ton. and the wharfage rate of $2 per ton cut to 30 cents. He en- larged the municipal wharf and made other improvements.
 Mir. Valentine at the present time is member of the National Commit tee of the Progressive party for Al aska. He is a believer in the match less possibilities that Alaska has to offer the honest and industrious newcomer and gives of both his time and money to any cause that has for its object the placing of Juneau to the forefront.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN's CHAIRS
National HeIrIooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
Just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved In the east room
Of Independence hall. on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two OF
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for it was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers of the blind women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious. William Penn chairs
are safe.
