CANNERIES ARE NOW FACING A
 CAN SHORTA6E

That the salmon canneries of Alas ka are facing a serious condition in the shortage of tin cans to pu up their product is the assertion of camery- men and others who are cOnversant with the situation. All of the can nerieS have placed the contracts for can making material, but only those who contracted for early delivery are sure of receiving their supplies in time to take advantage of the salmon run. Others are still waiting ship ment.
 Several of the new camerieS con templating opening for business this season may be forced to wait until next year before breaking into the game on this account. No trouble has been experienced on account of a shortage of tin because the American Tin Plate company, the largest manu- facturer of tin has a sufficient quan- tity of block tin on hand for all needs.
 The trouble comes from a shortage of steel ingotS of the required fine ness and size to roll the plates which are afterwards coated with tin to make the tin plate.
 Ammunition shells are made of vir- ually the same materials as tin cans If war demands draw plate to muni- tion factories instead of to can-mak- ing the shortage that is expected to occur in any event, will undOubted- ly become much worse.
 Eastern can makers declare them selves unable to keep pace with the demands. Larger canners who took deliveries early are congratulating themselves on having their ware houses stocked against the threatened shortage

WICK'S FRIENDS ARE STILL IN A
 HOPEFUL MOOD

Friends of Judge Wickersham are still optimistic in regard to his regain ing his seat in congress, while Dele gate Sulzer and those of his faith con slider the incident closed with the eX- ception of few technicalities. In a recent issue of the Juneau Dispatch there appears the following;
 "That Delegate Wickersham will be awarded his seat in congress is the belief of Albert Johnson, member of the house of representatives from Washington state, who also seems to be amazed that any of the people of Alaska could be found to oppose his reelection.
 "In an editorial in Representative Johnson's paper, the Washingtonian, of HoQuiam, on March 26, Mir. John son gives his opinions"
 In this statement he takes strong stand favoring Wicke;sh&m.

MATANUSKA
 EXPERIMENT
 FARMER HERE

Congress has recently appropriated $lO.OOO for the establishment of an agricultural experiment station in the Matanuska valley, and F. A. Rader, of the United States experiment sta ton service, was here yesterday CT route with materials and equipment for the construction of buildings. The site of the new station iS about one mile from the town of MatanuSka.
 The plan of establishing experiment stations has been followed for many years by the government, and the work accomplished has been of inval uable assistance to farmers. Partic- ularly at the present time is there a need for the encouragement of food production, and the government IS em- phasizing this point as one of the most important factors in the conduct of the present war to a successful con cluSion.

Falling Off in Graduates

Johns Hopkins University, Balti-

yesterday. AS anticipated, the num-
Der of undergraduate students has not
decreased, but there is considerable
falling off in the total of graduate
students. No decline, however. is to
be reported in the enrolment of the
Engineering School, and the CLASSES in
navigation are to be augmented.
In the Medical School, which opened
on September 20, the undergraduate
body is about the same as last year,
the students numbering so. DR.. j.
Whitridge Williams, dean of the Medi-
cal School, stated last evening that it
is too early as yet to tell anything
about the number of graduate stu
dents.
The Training School for Nurses has
been increased by so, owing to the

second accident, somewhat similar in
nature, that has occurred at this old
house within the last several months,
During the early part of the summer
