AUSTRIAN NOTE ARRIVES

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15-Secretary of State Lan- sing received today the Austrian peace note and he will transmit it tomorrow to the allied government represent aves according to request The note is identical with that sent by Germany. The apparent moderation of the Entente diplomats will probably be regarded as sufficient permission by President Wilson to make recommends tions without fear of offending any of the powers inter esed It is even certain that the question will be inform
 ally discussed by the cabinet today and some course of tion will be decided upon The great obstacle to Ame- can suggestions for peace arises from resolution intro duced in Congress by Representative Gardiner which op poses any attempt at mediation by the United States This resolution has been referred to the foreig4 affairs committee without discussion The enemies of Gardiner say that as he and his friends of whom is Senator Lodge are interested in munitions manufacture peace is not pleasant prospect

LANE ON ALASKA
 FISH QUESTION

The full report of Secretary Lane on Alaska came on this mornings mail. The following interesting facts are contained therein about the Alaska fisheries:
 "The natives of Alaska, particu- larly in some sections, are dependent very largely upon the fishery re- sources as means of obtaining their Livelihood It is significant of men tion that in 1915, 5000 natives were employed in the fisheries of Alaska. Of this number two-thirds were em- ployed in Southeastern Alaska. To assist in the maintenance of the sup ply of salmon seven hatcheries are operated in Alaska, two by the government and five through private enterprise According to the statis- tics for 1915 a total of 22,462 persons were engaged in all the branches of fishing industry in Alaska. Of this number II ,2S9 were whites, 5000 na- tives, 1881 Japanese, 2,l9O Chinese, and 2,S52 miscellaneous, which in- cludes Filipiuos, Mexicans, negroes and others. There were a gain of l ,- 262 persons as compared with the grand total for 1914. The invest ment in the fisheries of Alaska in 1915 amounted to $37916,56O, with an increase of $277,92S compared with 1914. More than SSI, 100000 of the investment in 1915 was credited to the salmon industry. Of the total in- vestment more than Sl5,OOO,OOO was in Southeastern Alaska, upwards of $6,OOO,OOO in Central Alaska, and in excess of $l4,OOO,OOO in Western AL aska. The products of the fisheries of Alaska in 1915, exclusive of aqu- atic furs, were valued at $2O,999,S43, or a decrease of $243,692 from 1914. The quantity produced in 1915 was greater, but there was a falling off in value because of the lower price com

The above message is from the Fairbanks News-Miner. The four or five precincts in this division still to be heard from by the Fairbanks pa paer are probably Bristol Bay and the ones whose returns were sent in by the Dora. If this is so the plurality of Sulzer would be greater. If it is granted, though, that Sulzer has only a plurality of nine the result will de- pend on the Bristol bay votes, which are sure to be for Sulzer, and on Kiana whose returns may not have yet been received. However, as this paper has said so often, the outlying places in the interior are certainly threatening the Sulzer lead.
