rHE HERRING INDUSTRY IN soUTHEAsTsRN ALASKA
 DESCRIBED IN REPORT

Governor Strong has recommended that the Alaska oil 6 Guano Com pany. operating Q plant at Killisnoo, be forced Go discontinue its waste of herring by using that food fish for the manufacture of fertilizer.
 In his annual report the Governor describes the herring industry as fol- lows:
 The herring ia one of the most nu- merous of the marine fishes of Alas. ka. At various times throughout the year numerous schools of herring may be observed in the wa-ers along the coast. particularly in the waters of Southeastern Alaska. An extensive fishery has been developed. but 1t is by no means O. the proportions possi- ble. considering the quantities of fish available. It is true that at some seasons of the year complaint is heard rom the halibut fishermen, who use herring for bait, that there Is pro- found scarcity of herring and that the supply is diminishing gradually; ,h.s. however. is not the real situa- ton. as the runs of herring arc prac- tically as large as ever in the past. t is true that 1t is sometimes diff .ult for the hallbut fishermen to get fresh herring for bait in which event hey are forced to resort either to 3alted or frozen herring. The salted herring are inferior for use as hall but bait. but the frozen herring are practically as good es the fresh arti- cle. The cold storage plants hand ing halibut usually freeze large Quan- t'ties of herring, when the runs are good. for sale to the halibut fisher men during the periods when 1t is -ather difficult for them to obtain sufficient supply of fresh herring. The price usually charged by the cold
 forage companies is reasonable, so hat the hal'but fishermen are not ,ften forced to use piclled herring or bait. For food purposes the her. ing of Alaska are practically the 'qual of Norway or Of Scotch herring The industry. however. in Alaska has not been developed to it's fullest pos ,lble extent, and the cause has here ofore been due to the indifference displayed by those in the industry as 70 the method of preparing the fish
 The situation in the last year or wo has improved. and 1t is hoped hat before long the herring fishery If Alaska will be developed on much more extensive Ines. The cost of preparing pickled herring in Alaska las been rather high as compared with the price which the product has brought. The fish are caught chiefly m purse seines. which means that all l'zes are landed. Considerable labor s necessary in sorting out the small CT fish. which are less desirable for market purposes. although they are entirely suitable for use as halibut aait If more of the herring could bc aken In gin nets of proper size only he large fish would be caught, and here would be less labor involved ir ,as been much waste In small herrinr ,reparing the catch for market. There ,t times. after the larger ones have been culled out of the purse seInc atch and prepared for market use Conditions. however. in this respect ire now much better than formerly

SCHOOL CLOSED TWO WEEKS.
Several Cases Of Scarlet Fever Devel-
Oping Gives Rise to Necessity
For Preventive Measures.

The unusual sight of children car
rying punches of books at noon We'd
nesday was the first we knew of the
dismissal of the Mexico Public
Schools. Members of the School
Board made a tour of the schools,
following which was the announce
ment that the schools were ordered
closed for two weeks. The Board Of
Health has been combating the scar
let fever situation. For some time a
number of homes in Mexico have
been under quarantine and some of
the parents kept their children at
home for fear of the malady. Among
homes quarantined are those of AS.
Houston, Chas. Bledsoe, John Mar
shall, T. H. Winans, John Million.
The cases seem light and IL parents
will keep the children home from
picture shows and public entertain
ments, ETC., for awhile it will be to
the best advantage of all. Two weeks
will be ample to tell if others are to
be exempt from the scarlet fever.
