WASHINGTON, June 12,-That
the president has placed the United
States squarely before the warning
factions Of Europe as mediator and
that Germany's acceptance of the
presidents demand for a guarantee of
safety for Americans from submarine
attacks may open the way to peace,
was the belief generally expressed in
official circles. With the rejoinder in
the hands of the kaiser, it was upon
the possibilities of peace that the dis
cussion here hinged. In all quarters
the spirit of optimism was evident as
to the issues between this government
and Germany and broader possibiIi-
ties were generally discussed The
president has suggested that the Uni
ted States is willing to transmit ex-
changes between Germany and Great
Britain. tending to remedy the con-
ditions of war upon the seas. He
therefore has lined the United states
up squarely as a mediator

The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

X O., of San Francisco, purchased the trading and fishing post of Geo. Hamilton at Klawock, put in the lat est machinery for canning salmon and commenced operation. They were incorporated under the name of the North Pacific Trading and Packing Company. At Old Sitka this same year Cutting and Co, of San Francis co. established a cannery. and the sal mon packing industry in Alaska was begun with a pack of 8159 cases in the year 1878. The next year opera. tions were extended to the Westward by another company.
 There are nve species of salmon in the waters of Alaska. The king salmon, called Chinook on the Colum. bia river, Tyee, or Quinnat, in differ ent localities on the West coast; the humpback, or pink salmon; the red salmon, calley sockeye, or blueback in some localities; the silver salmon, or cohoet, and the dog salmon, known also as the calico or the chum. They are found from the southeast part of

and enough for food purposes to carry the total up to the sum of $191, ,105 .00. There are a total of 200 men employ cd 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 Ripper 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 its fullest capacity. The next few years will de- eide whether 1t 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, from over-exploitation. Eleven years after the acquisition of the Territory by the United States, Sissons, Wallace

The cream of the whale fishery was taken before the days of the Civil War. but enough oi the fleet remained for the Privateer Shenandoah 10 cap. ture and burn over thirty vessels on her notorious raid in 1865.
 Aleuts hunted the whale from their skin kyaks or bidarkas and killed them with their ivory headed spears. Then came the sailing vessels that made their way around Cape Horn and hunted from the whaling boats with the steel headed lance. Whales have been killed in the waters of the North Pacific ocean in whose bodies have been found lance heads from vessels hunting in the North Allan tic. Today the whale fishery is con ducted from shore stations in swift vessels driven by powerful engines and the killing is done with bomb guns mounted in the bow. In l790 a Russian expedition visited Kodiak Island and one of the historians of the voyage in writing of it said: During the whole night the whales swam

tian islands did we'll This fishery and it's product totals $357,711.00 to the year and is but in its infancy. Where one boat fits out for the cod banks at present there will in a few years be fifty and the industry can be carried out under better conditions than are founded on the Iceberg in- fested, fog-covered banks of New foundland. It took 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 the 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 fine whitemeated deni- zen of the northern waters called the halibut that was fit to grace the table of a King or of any man. Then the fishermen went out and began to catch them. They fished them off the wharyes till they became scarce, then they went little further and dragged them up from the inland passages from Ketchikan to Skagway and packed them in the fee of the glaciers that floated about the inlets, until the white monsters and the chicken halibut began to grow scarce. Then to the sea the fishermen went and from the banks off shore are talk. 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 it's capital almost directly east of us, catches and preserves . crop of herring that sells for a11, ,0o0.. 00o.oo each year. On the coast oi Norway the herring brought in from the waters by the fisheTmen's boats are valued at from four to five mil lion dollars . year and from 25,000 tc 10000 men are employed at 1t during the season. Of the finished products of that fishery, sardInes, anchovy sauce. etc, etc. we. the United States import nearly two million dollars pen year while we allow as many her ring ss school along the coast of Scot land to pass unheeded, or if taken. all the use that we make of them is ( paitry as6Y0Oooe as fish oil and fertIl iser. for halibut bait about @27 7.Il4.Oo;

 Every one of the early voyagers along the coast of Alaska. almost without exception. mentioned the abundance of life in the waters from the great schools of whales that skirted along the Aleutian Islands and north into the Arctic. to the her ring that spawned in countless myr- iads along the island shores.
 The whale fishery was one of the early industries prosecuted in Alaskan waters. The Russian American Com. pany built ships and entered into the business. but with indifferent success. The great prize of the whaling busi. ness fell to the whalers of the New England States. Tn the early forties they entered Boring Sea. X few years later they had swept the giant cct- acean from the Sea of Okhotsk, had decimatcd the vast schools that sport cd along the shores of Kodiak Island. and by the early fifties the first whaler had entered the Arctic. At one time nearly six hundred whalers of different nationalities were hunting in tho waters of the North Pacific

NORTHERN waters

THE NORTHERN waters are the
 great storehouses of the fish foods
 of the world and Alaska is one of the greatest. For more than century and q 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 Bering's expedition in l7il. led the Russians along the Meu,ian islands and they gathered a rich plundcr from the sea. This fish cry waS nearly exhausted when the Russian American Company was or ganized. but Baranoff gathered about 2.0U" skins per year up to ISIS, 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 otters from under the very noses of the spanish DOnS of san Francisco Bay

Even among the isl ands of the northeast part of the con- tinent they are found in the streams entering the Arctic ocean. There are a few still remaining in Maine waters. the dog salmon is found in Japan, and Norway secures about $25.- 000.000 from her fisheries. The west coast of North America practically furnishes the salmon pack of the en- tire world and of this more than one half comes from Alaska. .. ...n

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWS REVERSAL. and United States Steel Were
 Leaders in the Decline.

New York, April 26.-For the great CT part of today's market session, stocks showed consistent strength, particularly coppers and other indus trials, as well as numerous equipment and miscellaneous specialties. In the final hour practically all this advan- tage was lost, the market declining abruptly under lead of Reading and United States Steel.
 No specific news accompanied the sharp reversal but rumor was just as busy, with adverse gossip at that time as it had been earlier with a host of favorable tips Selling of Reading towards the end seemed to emanate from substantial sources, while the extensive offerings of Steel pointed to assistance from the short interest. The quarterly statement of the United States Steel corporation is to be issued after the close of to- morrow's market and Chairman Gary has already intimated that the exhibit will not be especially encouraging
 Prior to the late selling. new high prices had been made by some of the less prominent metal shares their fur ther gains being in recognition of an- other advance in the asking price of refined copper by producers, Union Pacific, Great Northern, St. Paul and other investment issues in the rail- way division also were higher by to 1 1-2 points. In fact the only laggards were Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas Common and Pre- ferred. Affairs of the latter road are approaching crisis in connection with the plan to extend the $19,000,000 of notes falling due May 1st.
 Week-en developments were main 1y favorable to the constructive forces recently at work, including as they did the optimistic views of high finan- cial and industrial authorities, togeth- CT with the detailed foreign trade statement and some abatement of Flu ropean selling. Almost the only off setting features were the sexeral rail- road reports submitted. Atchison showed a net loss for March of $223,- 900 and Chicago and Northwestern fell behind by $45S, 1000.
 Rates for foreign exchange indicated mixed conditions abroad. bills on Lon don showing greater flrmness, while remittances to Italy were weaker
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 770,000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, the only strong features being copper convertible is- sues, which rose buoyantly. Total sales, par value. were $4y523,0 900.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-04-27

With the. close of the present week the clubs of the National league will enter that period of the playing season wherein the squad is restricted to 21 players This rule, adopted at the an nual meeting of the senior league on Dec. 8, and reaf1rmed at the schedule meeting on Feb. g, will have 8 decided bearing on the peunant race this sum- mer.
 Under the new regulation the total registration of the eight clubs will be 16S players between May 1 and Sept. 1. At the beginning of the season the roster of the league showed 254 play CTS on contract, so that more than so players will have to be dropped before next Saturday to conform to the new rule.
 The average at the opening of the 1915 pennant race was 31 players per club. In order to be within the limit by May 1 each club will have to dis pense with the services of approxi- mately 10 players. Many of these clubs have already anticipated the effect of the rule and began dropping players before the close of the spring training trips. A few were given unconditional releases, but the majority were sent back to the minor league clubs for fur ther development.
 In this connection 1t is the opinion of big league baseball magnates that the present crop of recruits has not been up to the standard of past years. In a few isolated cases green players taken to the training camps have shown sufficient promise to warrant additional coaching and attention, but the general average has not encour- aged the idea that there were any Ty Cobbs, Walter Johnsons or Jake Dau- berts in the camps.
 The American league clubs will have a four player advantage over those of the National league, but the junior league rule permitting an enrolment of 25 players per club was not rescind- ed to conform with the new regulation in vogue in the National
 As a result there will be less cur tailing of lists in Ban Johnson's cir cult, for the eight American league clubs had but 242 players under con- tract at the opening of the baseball year. This gave an average of 30
