White Whale eather

According to an Associated Press dis patch, shipment of ten tons of skins of the beIuga or white whale, taken in Be ring sea, from Seattle to the East, "to be made into white shoes for women" has caused widespread comment and inquiry. One leather trade paper declared that it would be impossible to convert the beluga skin into shoe leather the beluga being a fish. Alaska fishermen have offered to fur nish skins in quantities if steady market is offered for them. Inquiry among whal- ing authorities brings out these facts. The beluga is not a true whale, but 8 porpose, It attains a length of twelve feet abounds in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters and feeds chiefly on cuttlefsh, but also eats other fish, and is reputed to pursue salmon up the larger spawning streams, notably the Yukon. The principal market for beluga skins has been London, and the price paid there has been so high that the leather has not come into competition with the hides of cattle. At present the London hide market is disorganized by the war. Beluga skin is said to make good belting and shoe leather, even white leather for womens shoes, but absence of an estab- ished market has limited the supply and kept prices high. The beluga also yields very valuable oils, it is said

Ray Clarke Looking Up Graphite Mines

Ray V Clarke is now ready to leave for Teller to look up the graphite mines of the Port Clarence district, where not less than one hundred tons will be secured ii possible says the Nome Industrial Worker, which continues; Like every other mineral graphite has been affected by war condi- tions and has increased in price. The sup ply from Mexico is affected by the civil war in that country, and also is said to be deteriorating in quality. The main world supply is from the mines in Ceyon, but this IS practically commandeered by the British government since the war broke out Any activity in the iron, steel, machinery and tool industry always reflects an activity in the graphite market, which just now i> booming. Should there be any such large deposit as Is claimed for it in the Port Clarence district, and if the supply main tains a quality equal to some Samole5 that have been taken out, it is the belief that big future lies before the industry ill Sew ard peninsula.

The matron who is in charge of the little girl IS Miss Clara White Cooley The child and her mother appeared before Commissioner John K Brown in juvenile court last Friday afternoon. The complaint in the case had been made by Chief of Police Frank Wise man, who alleged that without care and schooling the future welfare of the child would be impaired were she not sent out to school. The place where the child is going IS in no sense a prison, the authOrl- ties have ascertalned The children sent to the institution are well schooIed and otherwise well cared for The mother made objections to the sending of her child Out side The little one however, seemed greatly pleased at the prospect stating in no uncertain words her desire to go.

Fairbanks Raises Its Own Vegetables

During the last year the Fairbanks mer- chants lost nearly $50O0 on potatoes i'm ported from the States, according to one of the largest dealers in the town, and the News Miner says that the result is that no more potatoes will be brought from the States Several years ago it was d matter of pride for the people of Fairbanks to boast that the farmers could raise almost all the potatoes needed here. while today it it Is an actual fact that Outside farmers cannot compete with local growers of spuds. Last year there was an excellent crop of frst-class potatoes, and this season the farmers report that the spuds will be just aS good There is greater acreage of po- tatoes this year than ever before, but the crop will be taken care of because of the fact that none will be brought in from the States. Interior Alaska farmers now raise all the cabbage, carrots, potatoes, celery, turnips, parsnips, cauliHower beets and some other vegetables that are used in the Interior. The amount of other vegetables grown in the Interior is increasing yearly, and it will be but short time until prac- ,caly no vegetables of any kind are brought in from the States

Alaska Traffic Breaks All Records

Passenger traffic to Alaska during the first six months of the year ending June 30 broke all former records, according to esti
 mates compiled, says the Juneau Empire, Between January 1 and June 30 passengers going to Alaska numbered 17 900, including all classes of travel on American and Cana dian steamship lines. This surpassed the previous record, it is estimated, by more than 1000 persons The great bulk of the travel was from Seattle, that port continu- ing supreme in all branches of Alaska traffic, freight and passenger. It is estimated that close to l6O00 persons have gone from Seattle to Alaska since the first of the year. The estimate of 17,O00 as the total Alaska passenger traffic for the first six months of 1916 was compiled by Kenneth c, Kerr, editor of the Railway and Marine News.

CapitoL BuiIdina for Juneau

A Washington dispatch says that Juneau will get S300,C00 additional for its public building should the public building bill go through congress and receive the Presidents signature in the form in which it was re- ported to the house on July l7 by the com mittee on public buildings, and recom- mended for passage The total appropria- tions in the bill amount to nearly S35 0O0, 900. The appropriation for the Juneau building is $l50,000 less than recommended by the secretary of the treasury. Friends of the measure say however, that a good building may be secured for the amount ap- propriated, and that deficiency appropria tions may be secured later There already is available for the Juneau public building the sum of Sl77 800, and if the appropria ton provided in the public buildings bill goes through there will be nearly half a million dollars for the structure.
