HELP THE FISHERMAN

Much publicity has been given to the fact that Prince Rupert, .B. C., has diverted a share ot the fresh halihut shipments. As usual the most important factor in the discussion has been eliminated in the patriotic board of trade appeals and political speeches ot the dema- gogue. Seattle can get this trade back the very moment that It an- nounces that ts wholesale flsh shipping houses are paying the very top notch price for fresh hal ibut and other fresh fish. Just ten days ago four fishing vessels reached Seattle bringing thirty tons of fresh halibut, which was pur- chased by local companies at 10 cents per pound. while two years ago, before the trade was driven to Prince Rupert. the hardy and ad- venturous fisherman of the North Were mighty lucky if they got s-4 or cents per pound. A tele- gram was received from New York September 18th, stating that fresh halibut was being sold in the re- tail market in that city at 30 cents per pound. That tells the whole story. The fishermen who brave the dangers of the North. in the past were forced to sell their catch at some figure less than three cents a pound to the grasping wholesaler on Seattle's waterfront and the Prince Rupert wholesaler in twenty-four hours after he had got ten ready to go after the business. raised the price anywhere from 100 to 200 per cent, so why shouldn t the fisherman go where they can get the best price? Let us elim- mate all this political buncombe and urge the Seattle wholesaler to jump his buying price np to I5 cents, advertise 1t freely, and the fish will come back of their own accord. At least give the fisher men an even break.-Railway and Marine News.

THE EMPIRE DEVELOPMENT
 NUMBER

The second Alaska Empire De velopment Number IS before us. It is a 4S-page edition and well gotten up geographically. The most ot the literary work was done by C. L. Andrews and Is of a high order of excellence.
 Among the contributed articles is one entitled, "The New Skag- way" from the able pen of Andrew Stevenson, president of the Bank of Alaska.
 The numerous articles and large number ot illustrations tell an H. luminating story of Alaskan devel- opment.
 The edition will be invaluable in advertising Alaska, as 1t is designed to arouse the interest of those who have never been in the North.
 And the articles are educational to our own people as we'll as those who have never been In Alaska.
 The mammoth edition speaks volumes for the enterprise of the publishers. It would not ha> been possible without the cooperation oi the business men of Juneau and Douglas.

 of the Porto Rico total, thus occu-
 pving first place. The standing of noncontiguous territories for that year were Porto Rico first,
 Alaska second. Hawaii third and the Philippines very bad fourth.
 Guam and American Samoa rep resent so little in the total that they are not worth mentioning. For the calender year Alaska has already taken first place, for with the nine months ending September 30, the Northern territory has far out stripped either Porto Rico or Hawaii. This is remarkable showing when it is considered that both Porto Rico and Hawaii are classed among the worlds greatest producers of sugar. but Alaska $ copper is now pitted against the sugar of those tropical islands with the result that Alaska stands at the head of the list in commerce oi l ncle Sam's noncontiguous terri tories. .-Railwav and Marine News.

WILL HE HELP US? ?

merce has sent a communication to Col. w. P. Richardson of the Alaskan Road Commission pe- titioning for an appropriation ot S5,ooo for a wagon road to the cemetery. As every one in Wran- gell knows, this road IS badly needed. The travel to and from the cemetery itself would be merely incidental to the travel that would occur over the road If 1t were built.
 The Chamber of Commerce has requested Col. Richardson to send representative here to investigate the need of the road for which 1t IS petitioning. An investigation would show the actual need for such a road. Therefore, we are confident that if a representative of the road commission were sent here, he would. after an investiga- tion, gladly recommend that the road be built. Furthermore, ii the matter is taken in hand by the Alaska Road Commission 1t will be built under the supervision of experienced road builders. who will give us road that will be perma- nent.
 The writer knows something of the good work the Road Commits tipD,is doing in other parts sof Alaska. He spent last winter on the kerai peninsula, and made many trips over the road that was then being constructed out of Sew ward. This road was being built in the dead of winter because ot its urgent need.
 It has been said that good roads are more lasting monuments than either brass or marble. The Val dez-F Fairbanks trail is probably the greatest monument to the Alaskan Road Commission. This trail' is a modern automobile road over one ct the finest scenic routes in the world-3-o miles of glaciers, mountain torrents. waterfalls, and snowy peaks that pierce the sky. During the past season many tou- rists have brought their own autos, and have taken the trip over the government trail, fishing and hunt ing along the wav-enjoying all the pleasures of an outing m the far north without any more inconven- ience than ii motoring from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. In the old days a man would take 20 days to mush" from Fairbanks 10 Nal- dez. One can now make the trip ID an auto in 36 hours. Fairbanks has been moved IS days nearer the coast. The Alaskan Road Con- mission did 1t.
 The Sentinel is proud of the efficient work of the Road Com mission. And now that Seward, Valdez, Fairbanks, Sitka, and ether points have had large appro- priations. and are reaping the bene- fits accruing from better roads, we feel that 1t Is time Wrangell. which has never had an appropriation, should be heard in her plea for a short stretch of road which IS so badly needed.

THE SITUATION AS TO SHIPPING
 OF FRESH FISH.

GuilOT heppEl we lIliQ II di- most impossible to get space on the steamships southbound for shipments of fresh fish. The AL Xxi arrived here northbound Sep tember p, and Captain McGreg- or stated he could not take any fresh fish except on deck; and any one can imagine what eondi- ton fresh fish would be in when it arrives at Seattle after having been on the way from four to five days from here. The Spo- kane arrived September 26. south bound, and 1 was assured space for fifty boxes, but, owing to the good judgment of their agent at Juneau: space had been reserved for 130 boxes. However, there were at least 50. 900 pounds more halibut here than this boat could take on account of lack of space. There were several halibut boats here at the dock with each 5000 pounds or more, but each. of course, had not enough of a load to go to Prince Rupert, so they put three to five cargoes together on large boat and shipped to that port.
 l It is not a fact that the fisher men here want to go to Prince Rupert, but it has become a case of have to. The gasboat Star of Petersburg left here September 26 for Prince Rupert with hali- but from the gasboats Rolf and Pegge, in addition to her own fish. This was also the case with the gasboat Dolphin. which left the same day, and the gasboat Dick left September 27 with an- other load picked up from other boats moored here. There are still IS, 900 pounds of halibut left yet that will have to be shipped the same way. This condition is caused entirely from the inability of the steamship companies to handle the fresh fish offered.
 Now, as to the proposition of prohibiting the shipping. except in bond from an American R0rt, of fish through the Canadian port of Prince Rupert. If the Seattle Chamber of Commerce would look into the situation and find a suitable means of handling fresh fish from Alaska, there would be less fish shipping by way of Ru- pert. Under present conditions. no one can blame the fishermen for going to the Canadian city to dispose of their catches. It is made necessary by the lack of steamer accommodations for fish shipping. And the necessity for making the trip at this season, with prevailing storms from the southeast, works a considerable hardship on the fishermen.
 1 have been an American citi- zen for 24 years, and a resident of Alaska since 1887, and have certainly done everything 1 could in working to maintain our trade and commerce. have taken this matter of shipping up with the steamer companies time and time again. 1 should think 1t would be to their own interests to remedy conditions. Some of the companies have assured me that they would take care of the fresh fish after the canned sal mon season is over.
 The day is past for shipping fresh fish on consignment to Se- attle, so far as Southeastern AL aska is concerned. If American buyers cannot be assured space on the boats southbound by the American steamship companies, they cannot buy, and the fishing boats will, of course, have to go to Prince Rupert to dispose of their catches or quit fishing.

Pres serve the
Hens Eggs

"Count not your chickens before
they are hatched" is a precept Of
worth, but you may sit right down
now and count your profits if you
decide to preserve your fifteen-cent
eggs in waterglass this summer
for use next winter and sell all
your winter product for fifty or
sixty cents the usual midwinter
price for fresh eggs. For the ben
eft of those who have never exper-
imented with this method of pre-
serving eggs, the Spokesman is
printing again the formula copied
last year rom the Rural New
Yorker:
In preserving eggs in waterglass
be sure to use only crooks or wood
en- receptacles. and in placing the
eggs in the Waterglass use a long
wooden spoon. Have the eggs
clean and preferably infertile. Di-
lutte pound of waterglass in nine
gallons of water, The water
should be sterilized by boiling at
least half an hour.

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Be Efficient and Do Things That Other
People Do Not Do.


A man has a weary time awaiting to
rise in the world by force of sympathy,
by getting somebody else to pull him
along. You see such people standing
around expecting compassion and a
lift from some who have succeeded.
But this is not the way success is at
tanned That comes by working for it,
by being worthy of it, by doing ones
best. if it comes at all The world is
full of failures because man hangs
back and depends upon others.
Efficiency is the greatest word in the
language. There is no real progress
without it. And what does efficiency
consist Of? OF sobriety, honesty, dill
gence. patience, happiness, unselfish-
ness, good habits and putting in full
time.
OF course man can get rich by not
caring for these. He can gamble. steal,
defraud, pad payrolls and expense
bills. borrow money and never pay.
But such riches don't last. They drop
a man pretty hard finally.
The only way Is to start out in the
world and do ones best without wait
ing to see what others do AS Stein
