HERRING FISHERS ARE MAKING FORTUNES

Fortunes are being made in Wran- gell Narrows by herring fishermen this year, according to reliable re- ports. It is said that a group of Pe- tersburg men have cleaned up a thousand dollars each for the past three monkhs, by fishing herring with purse seines, and the buyers from Prince Rupert, B., G., and Seattle, are posting themselves at the various ports where the herring are brought from the fishing grounds.
 Fay Bayers, of Rake, who was buying herring for Seattle interests discovered the business so lucrative that he resigned his position and is now buying for himself and salting his product at Kake.-Juneau Elm Dire

they were said to be fierce and wild. In fact, more than one white man has lost his life on the banks of this mosquito infested stream. It was found impossible to march more than 5 to miles per day. z" [ The Kanakas inland were sturdy race of people, we'll developed, and with a plentiful supply of foodstuffs. Lieut.. Ogilvy expressed the hope the administrator would see his way clear to allow him to proceed with the work of making roads into a land which was little known and had not yet been trod by white man. The only way to civilize and bring into subjection Kaiser Wilhelmsland was the introduction of 8 system of block houses and good roads,"

KNOWN COAL
 AREA WAS SURVEYED

John P. Walker, assistant supervi- sor of Surveys for Alaska, will make Juneau his headquarters during the coming winter. MT. Walker has spent the summer supervising the work of surveying the Matanuska, Boring River and Nenana coal fields.
 Throughout the summer the gen. eral land office had about 100 men engaged in making surveys of the three Alaskan coal fields. The sur vey of the Matanuska field, which comprises about 125,000 acres, was completed in September under the di- rection of U. s. Surveyor F. w. Will Hanson who was assisted in the work by five other surveyors with forty assistants.
 On October 9th the Boring river surveys were completed. The field comprises about 6O,OOO acres. The work was in charge of Thomas A. Haight, U. s. Surveyor, aided by 20 assistants.
 U. s. Surveyor w. H. Thorne had charge of the survey of the Nenana field and was assisted by Woodbury Abbey and four other surveyors with forty assistants. In this field an area of approximately 150,000 acres was surveyed The Nenana field is ,noro oxtoncivo and the limits of the coal area have not been defined as yet by the geological survey, though considerable area in excess of the surveyed portion has been designat- ed as coal area.
 In each field the surveyed area em- braces the known coal area that is most accessible and will answer all requirements for many years to come, though it forms only small portion of the possible area of Alaska.

EDNEsDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1915
LET US BE CONSISTENT.

Consistency is jewel and conse
 lently rare.
 Every Alaskan is agreed that we
 lould have more power; more to say
 the government of our affairs
 hat we are fully capable to manage
 IF country and all this. Yet there
 s.e some who maintain that we must
 ? shackled to certain extent. That
 territorial and not state form ot
 'overnment should be given us. But
 3hy the curtailment of power? Dc e expect to become brighter, more
 ltelligent in a year or two than what
 e are today? If not, then why not
 six for that which we want and not pr that which we have a better
 hance to get?
 . The question of obtaining full
 over to govern ourselves is con- tantly kept before the people of Ju-
 eau. Some are advocating a territo- ial form of government and others state form of government. And still ,thers are saying nothing-and there 2ou are. If we could only agree we night pull together and get what we want. But the trouble is we cannot E-or will not, which amounts to the anne thing.
 { We take it that with Alaskans, here is nothing too good. If such the case, why not be consistent and pull for statehood? By asking for ,tatehood, in the event that the pow DTS that be differ with us, we shall not have diminished our chances for getting second choice. AS mat Ter of fact, it is a mighty good policy to ask plenty. It is well known fact that we are looked upon, or at least have been treated as beggars thus far, and a beggar is no more so for asking for million than for ask ing for a dollar. He is beggar just the same. If we fight together for statehood, we may yet have an op- portunity to show a dilatory Con- gross that after all, we can man. age our affairs under a territorial form of government, who knows but what we would get that much. In- stead. if we keep on hammering at each other, the chances are very much against getting anything. Be- sides, we should not lose sight of the fact that we Alaskans are agreed on at least one point, and that is, there is nothing too good for us. "-Ketch- ikan Progressive.

EXPEDITION RETURNS FROM
 INSPECTING NEW GUINEA.

LONDON, Nov 1O.-The following patrol report has been forwarded by Col. Pethebridge, administrator of the Western Pacific, to the Minister for Defense, Senator Pearce:
 "On Tuesday, June 29, Lieut.. Ogil- wy, with 12 police boys and a num- Der of carriers, left Magong on patrol to the interior. The first stage was to Nob-a-Nob, in the Hanesemann range, at the back of Magang, one thousand feet above sea level. Next day a march was made to @ large na- tive village called Komba. At night 300 or 400 natives assembled and Lieut.. Ogilvy gave them instructions to make bridle path to a village named Buttell-ekude,' a distance of eight to ten miles. Next morning they pushed on along a track which led over mountains and through. ra- vines. A large, scattered native population was noticed throughout the district. e7 ""f- '4't ''''
 "In the Hanesemann range the bird of paradise, goura pigeon and the wallaby were found in more or less profusion. Except in damp, dark |hollows, the mosquito was not found. As a whole, the ranges were healthy. The villagers had been their houses lon the mountain peaks, where they were very difficult of access, and But tell-ekude is fully 2e00 feet above sea level. It was extremely, cold at might. It is intended by the expedi- ton to force a road inland for at least 30 miles with depot at Bet tell-ekude. The object Lieut.. Ogil- wy had in view was to cut road from Friederich Wilhelshafen to the Ramu river. '.i'f ..3 ''r.f'i
 "This would open up an immense tract of country at present unknown. The report also went on to say that the natives along the first 80 or 40 miles of the route were believed to be friendly. Approaching the Rai1,u

washington, March 1e.-General
Carrauga has abandoned his block
ade OF the port Of Progreso on ur-
gent representations by the United
States.
The Mexican gunboat Zaragosa has
been called OF and two American
ships laden with sisal for the United
States were cleared without interfer-

Topeka, March 16.-"The news
received today that the port OF Pro-
greso; Yucatan, had been opened ana
that sisal can now be shipped to the
limited States is welcome to the
farmers of Kansas said member
of NE board Of corrections. "The
peAftentiary twine plant has been
running on sisal purchased last fall
and has enough on hand for manufac-
ture until about April 10. Had the
mort remained closed, as it has been
for nearly a month, it would have
been necessary to close the twlne
plant after the present supply was
exhausted and it would have meant
a great loss to the wheat growers Oh
Kansas. Insistent kilograms to

an by Governor Capper, the board

and farmers ORGANIZATIONS, nave
been influential in persuading the
government to reopen the port. A
letter resolved today from Senator
Bristow enclosed communication
from Secretary Bryan saying that
every effort was being put forth 20
secure this reopening.
''whAt price will be made on the
new purchase of sisal is yet uncer-
tain. At present the price Is three
cents a pound more than 1t was at
the time the last purchase was made.
"UnIess 1t Is necessary because OF
a higher cost OF sisal the board will
not change the present price of bind
ing twine established February l..
II the state, however. is compelled
to pay more for its raw material
new schedule of prices will be nee
essary. This will be decided as soon
as quotations are received. 1t is
probable that the twine plant will be
put on extra time Immediately. With
another splendid wheat crop in pros
pect the opportunity to purchase
sisal means q great deal to the
farmers Of Kansas"
