Brings 7.OOO Skins

Mir. Christoffer returned yester- dqy on the steamer 'Elihu Thomp- sen. which sailed north September 5 with the winter supplies for the islands. While there he inspect ed the herds carefully and brought down with him the figures of the seal census taken last summer. On board the steamer were 1000 seal skins, about which hangs a further tale, although seals have no tails. These 1000 skins are the direct and tangible sign of the appetite of the Indians residing on the seal islands. Bsing wards of the government they, of course, have been well sup piled with rations, but white mans food" pals upon them and eyer and anon they crave a few morseIs of luscious seal 'blubber Hence the government, to keep them in good humor, permits this craving tc be satisfied by killing a few syals for them and then thriftily flays the carcasses and auctions off the fur at St. Louis in the au- tumn. AS it happens, the collective appetite of the Indians has not been large enough to keep up with the demand for sealskins.
 First Trip Ont in Five YeaIs
 According to Mir. Christoffer the steamer Elihu Thompson had con siderable difficulty in unloading cargo at the two islands. Severe storms delayed the steamer al most a month longer than was fig ured upor, unloading operatins talk ing thirty days instead of -four or five. The Elihu Thompson brought. down a shipment of 1000 cases of canned salmon from Taku under provisions o1 charter and also had a few passengers aboard, including A. II. Proctor and Mrs. Proctor and Dr. W. B. Hunter and two natives enroute to the Chemawa school. MT. Proctor has been on the seal islands for the past eighteen years. His present trip out is the first in five years. Dr. Hunter is government physician at the Island of St. Paul.
 The steamer Elihu Thompson is owned by the Pacific Cold Storage Company, of Tacoma,and was char tered to the fisheries bureau this fall fer the purpose of taking the years supplies to the islands. The charter terminates with the arrival of the steamer at seattle.

 KILL SEAL HERD

Seattle, Nov. "A few years ago, when uelagie sealers flourish ed and seals also were killed on the rookeries it was the favorite trick of milady to develop a hollow cough which left her better or worse half the alternative of sending heT to Florida for the winter or pur- chasing a sealskin coat. seals then became scarce through the un- ceasing demand and the government stepped in and halted the killing. Tnis brought relief to father and he. since 1910, when the goNernment took over the herds, has been able to lay up a little money for the coal bill. Comes now H.. Christoffer, assistant agent for the United states bureau of fisheries, with the depressing information that the seal herds on the Pribiloff islands, St. Paul and St. George, have in creased to such an extent that the government will start killing next year and put the hides upon the market. All this means that his tory with reference to the seaIskin coat, is going to reapeat itself.
