And in this connection comes Il
story. which is fairly well authehti-
Gated. of how one of the salmon kings
started his fortune in the fish industry
on the basis OF the then -dcspiscd lisht-
colored salmon. This man had put
up his canncry at location past
which the fish came in great numbers
on their way in 10 spawn. lie was
right in his selection of II site and
the salmon were caught in vast guam
titles. They were all, however. of the
light pink variety. and the fSherman
was in despair. At that time no light
colorcd salmon had been shipped and
the demand everywhere was for sal
mon of ;tn almost red hue, The man
canned his catch and sold IL 10y means
OF Il label which implied that 1t WAS
the only sanitary fish on the market
The label read: This salmon is war
rantcd not to turn red in the can"
The most of the catch Went TO the
Southern states, and the drummers
selling il did their business so we'll
that in many of the cities of that To-
cality YOU can hardly sell Il red salmon.
The people think it is spoiled, and has,
therefore. turned red in the can.

f, ann surprised at the extent of the
fishing industry II this part of the
world The ocean floors of Southeast
crn Alaska are carpcted with fish of
many varieties; and there are large
! fishing industries carried ON all along
the coast out TO the Aleutian Islands.
There are many fish in Hcring Sea. and
the Yukon and Kusk ok win Rivers are
filled with fish of one kind or another.
The total Nalu. OF the Alaskan eat ell
for 1915 WAS almost S2D.00o.ooo and
altogether We have caught enough fish
in these waters 10 equal about thirty
times what we naid for the territory.
Til" total value mp to date has been
VERY close<tn S23c.oUo.0n0.
The most OF this has been made up
Of salmon. the canning of which is
AN enormous industry. l shall write
of IL iii the future. Next to IL comes
the halihut. which is only in it's be-
ginning. although from $5,O00,000 to
Slc.0oo,noo year is now spent upon
that industry in wages ANA supplies
! There are more than Loo men en-
ployed in halibut fishing in Alaska and
the annual catch is almost $4,000 900
pounds and is rapidly growing

Nation s Champion
 Will Be Decided

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.-Whie the East, and especially the Middle West, has been busily engaged in re- cent weeks in deciding upon it's cham pion amateur baseball team, tentative plans are being drawn by fosterers of amateur baseball on the Pacific coast for the latter sections entry into a championship elimination of really national scope.
 l. w. Galehouse, booking agent for the northern division of the amateur baseball federation, and Carl Mueller, of Los Angeles, active in amateur baseball affairs in Southern Califor- nia, have inaugurated plans whereby the West will have brought it's cham pionship candidates down to two by about January 15, 1917. This end, it is thought, will be attained by di- viding the West into two sections and tallying the games of each di- vision.

kENNECOTT PAYS A
 DIVIDEND OF S4,1es,3 ,3e7.

September will go down in f. nancial history as one of the heaviest months, if not a record breaker. in the payment of dividends to hold CTS of copper shares. Nearly $24.- 100000 was paid out by fifteen cop- per producing companies on October 1. Of this large amount, the Utah Copper company alone disbursed S4.. 873.47O, the heaviest individual pay ment. Kennecott Copper comes a close second, with a total of $4.166.- 367, Phelps, Dodge & Co. is next in line with payment of $3.600.000. In June these same companies paid out a total of $12,318.3O2. The in. crease in payments for September Is largely due to an extra dividend by Phelps, Dodge and Co.,, an extra by Ray Consolidated and the en- trance of the Centennial Mining con- pany into the dividend paying ranks. Nearly 12.Ooo.00o shares of stock benefited from the copper shares paid out during last month. The average payment was $1.99 per share.

Days of Famous
 Arena are Over

Daily City, once. when known as Colma, the scene of some of the most famous pugilistic battles of the coun- try, has finally set it's face definitely against professional boxing, recent events indicate. Although profession al fighters were supposed by some persons to have been put out of ac- tion in California by the 1915 legis- lature, they have fought freely, as a matter of fact, at Daly City and else where in the state. The limit was four rounds, of course, and purses were paid sub rosa, according to popular reports.
 The doors of the Daly City arena, which is just across the line from San Francisco, in San Mateo county. were closed upon Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion, when the dis trict attorney of San Mateo county threatened prosecution of everyone connected with Wolgast's advertised fight with Willie Hoppe. No signs of pugilistic life have been shown since in Daily City.

ADMINISTRATION
 ;.~~ PLAYED BY TEDDY

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Charles E. Hughes and Col. Theodore Roose- welt, admittedly the greatest Repub- lican leaders of today, spoke from the same platform at Cooper Union tonight A large crowd heard their remarks. MT. Hughes talk was con- servative in it's nature, but in his speech, which followed that of the Republican candidate for the presi- dency, Col. Roosevelt unmercifully flayed the Democratic administration, and President Wilson in particular. In part, he said:
 "A world cataclysm threatens civi- lization. It would be overwhelmed by the election of Wilson. The times have need of a Washington or Lincoln, but unfortunately we have been guaranteed only another Bu. chanan. Wilson claims credit be- cause in Belgium's case he preserved neutrality. That would make Pontius Pilate quiver with envy yet. Last Thursday he said we must never again be neutral, yet he has kept us absolutely unprepared and says we must enter the next war;"
