ed men who seek exemption This is
particularly true where there is a
wife or mother to plead for exemp-
ton. Yet the board has been bound
by iron clad rules laid down by the
federal military authorities and in all
cases where parties were not clearly
entitled to exemption under the rules
IL has been the painful duty of the
board to certify the men for service.
Now the government has made a
new ruling that exempts large num-
Der of the married men who were
accepted under the old ruling, and
the board is forced to do much OF
its work over. This means that the
members of the board, all of whom
have large private interests to look
after, must continue TO sacrifice their
individual affairs in their patriotic
service to the government, which
by the way, has been given without
any compensation. Necessarily the
board depends upon volunteer help
in performing its duty. A few faith
full ones have been carrying the major
portion Of this burden and will con
tinue TO assist the board until all
the work is finished. The purpose OF
this article is to ppeal TO the pat
riotish OF other young men in Mari
anna whose services are badly needed
by the board at this time. There are
at least dozen men in Mariana
who could give at least a portion OF
their time TO this work and IL they
appreciated the urgent need for as
sistance they would doubtless offer
their services TO the board. If you

Never was the truth of the foregoing
more apparent than at the present

In 1914 the world was plunged into
war by the action of Austria-inso-
lent and domineering-in on
the chastisement of poor little Serbia,
a nation over which she had tyran-
lied for generations, and which she
was even then holding in forced and
unjut subjugation. But in her
naughty disregard for the rights of
others, Austria sowed the wind from
which she is now reaping the whirl-
wind.
Recent and persistent press dis
patches indicate that the empire is
in a bad way. Rent and torn by the
strife she herself precipitated, she

BRINGS CARGO OF FISH FROM
 BERINC SEA

The freight and passenger steam CT Santa Ana arrived at an early morning hour from the Westward where she has been loading freight. The Santa Ana has been visiting all Boring Sea and Bristol Bay points and had partial load of dried codfish and tierces of salt salmon. The steamer will load canned sal mon southbound from Juneau.
 On board the Santa Ana were a number of passengers two of whom were for Juneau and the balance were transferred to the Dolphin here, with the exception of two who continued south on the same ship.
 Those who transferred to the Dol phin were J. Taylor of Unalaska; 1; Glen Hunt, A. c. Maddern, of Sand Point; A. H. Bradford, J. H. Howit- son, of Squaw Harbor; Mrs. J. S. Osmund, J. w. Hume, of Chignik; Dr. w. A. Borland and wife of Nushagak. Those who stopped at Juneau were T. H. Salmanala of Unga, and Bishop Philipp, of Sitka who is returning from Unalaska.

PROGRESS OF THE NEW
 FISH PACKING PLANT

Rapid progress is being made with the construction of the new fish packing plant at Seal Cove, says the Prince Rupert Daily News. The wharf with an approach of one hun dred feet has been finished and the construction of the buildings is well under way.
 Concrete piles had to be driven to bear the weight of the buildings which will contain the large steel tanks for the immersion of the fish under the new process. These tanks will contain brine at different low temperatures. The fish will be i'm time, each tank having a different brine and a different temperature. At the conclusion of the process, the fish are hard and stiff, but not frozen. ur They come out of the last tank glazed in such a manner as to ex- clude the atmosphere from the skin of the fish. In this manner they will
 keep fresh as the day they were immersed for two weeks.
 The success. of this new process of handling fish will be watched with extreme interest, as it will revolu tionize the fish packing industry on this coast. The superiority of fresh , fish over frozen is marked, and as
 no ice is used in packing under this
 new process, the fish are said to re tain their fresh flavor to much greater extent With Pacific fish | retaining their fresh caught flavor | after transportation to the East a greater demand may be looked for in these markets for Pacific fish
 which will give the industry a great CT impetus. This new process will not be restricted to halibut, but all kinds of fish will be handled. This process will create a demand fol

 market, but which they get on theil
 hooks just the same. Instead of be ing thrown away as at present

 of foodstuffs, and put them on the market at cheap price, will per form National service.
