SHIPPING BOARD
 TAXES HAND IN FISH CONTROVERSY

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The shipping board today took hand in the governments fight to pro- tect Alaskan fisheries against Canada's orders giving preferen- tial treatment to British Colum- bia interests in an order forbid ding the transfer of the Ameri- can gasboat Venture to the Cana dian registry board.
 It is declared that while, ,Ameri- can regulations offer tempting in- ducements, such transfers do not in reality give American citizens opportunity for free competition in the fisheries trade, but sub ject the consumers fish brought into American territory through Canadian ports to the possibility of monopolistic price manipula- ton.
 The shipping board believes that the effect of the order of the Canadian Council would be to bring the Alaskan fleet operating off Ketchikan under Canadian registry and it's product into Prince Rupert.

JACK MEYERS
 IS DROWNED
 IN MILL LAKE
Well Known Wrangell Citizen Loses His Life by Break
 ing Through the Ice

There is little doubt that Jack Meyers was drowned yesterday afternoon in Virginia (Mill) lake. MT. Myers was staying at the camp of the Bon Alaska Mining Company at Groundhog. Yester- day afternoon Bert Mckay ar- ranged to come to Wrangell on the gasboat Wanderef for some supplies. Before leaving he went into the cabin to ask Meyers if there was anything he could do for him in Wrangell. Meyers was not in the cabin. There were several live fish lying on a table which Myers had evidently caught within the past half hour. Mckay then looked for Meyers but he was not about the place. Mckay noticed that there were two rows of tracks leading in the direction of the lake and only one row leading from the lake. Me Kay then knew that Meyers had gone back to the lake probably to do some more fishing. Me- Kay followed the tracks to the lake. Uponreaching the waters edge he could not see Meyers any where and called for him, but there was no response. Presently he noticed Meyers hat floating near the waters edge where the ice had been broken.
 Mckay then went and sum- mouned McClusky and the two men managed to get two small trees out over the broken ice. The men then provided them selves with poles, and, standing on the fallen trees, tried to locate the body, but failed. Mckay then came to Wrangell for assist ance. William Lucas, John John son and several others went out with Mckay this morning, and the body will probably be re- covered today.
 Mir. Meyers went to Ground hog in December to work for the Bon Alaska Mining Company. For the past six years he had lived in Wrangell, and is well known in this region on account of having lived up the Stikine be- fore locating in Wrangell. His son, Lloyd Meyers, aged 21, is employed in Juneau. His daugh- ter, Mrs. Hansen, is living in Cordova. He has another daugh- ter living somewhere in the states.

HOW THE BOARD WAS FORGED
 TO REPORT

We find that Charles A. Sulzer, of Sulzer, Alaska, received the greater number of votes for delegate in said election, for the term beginning March 5. 1917. and the election of said Chas A. Sulzer is hereby duly certified"
 This was the certificate handed yes terday by the canvassing board to Mir. Sulzer.
 Of course the canvassing board found no such thing, and said so. It Is simply saying here what if denied before, but what the court compelled l it to say now. Oliver Goldsmith was | once asked what he meant by a cer- tain line in poem. When he tried to explain what he meant his ques. | tioners contradicted him and said he | didn't mean any such thing, 80 he said he didn't. His publisher was one of the questioners.
 Some years ago there was a ruling a czar of all the Russias and a duma or parliament was inaugurated to represent" the people. This duma voted once for freedom of the press with good majority The speaker went to the palace and notified the czar and his ministers.
 Your majesty" says he, "your duma has decided by a vote of blank hun dreds against teens that the press must have freedom"
 Emperor Nick looked at his minis. ters and his ministers winked.
 Sir" said his majesty, you are mistaken. The vote was the other way"
 But. sir"
 But nothing. Go back to my faith ful and exceedingly beloved parlia. ment and tell them that his majesty | the emperor of all the Russias by the grace of God loves it and refuses to permit any association in his royal mind between the beloved representa- tives of his adored people and penal servitude in that horrible Siberia" Fifteen minutes later a committee from the duma again entered humbly the august royal presence and the speaker spake:
 Most exalted little Father" quoth he, 'humbly do your devoted servants come in sackcloth and ashes to inform your imperial majesty that the duma by the grace of your majesty, finds that the vote was against the freedom of the press. not for it."
 The courtiers winked again - Ju. neau Dispatch.
