Walker and Gray Return

Messrs. E. P. Walker, F. H.. Gray and J. L. Neville arrived Friday, from Port Walter on the Minnie K., owned by ]. A. Peter son. The party has been working in company with MT. A. H. D. Klie, who left here with his as- sistants, Anderson, Crawford and Studdert,. to give instruction in the curing of herring
 The Scotch method is used ip treating the fish. According to MT. Klie the Scotch excel in pre- pairing the herring for the mar ket. These ingenious people make a delicious dish from the gills, he asserts. No doubt many similar lessons in thrift would be of advantage if taught to Alas ans.

MUrtle 1T Is Name of Large NeW Purse
 Seining Boat

Vim. H. Lewis will soon have his large purse-seining boat, the Myrtle H. ready for the sea- sons business. She will be launched within ten days, at least such are the present expectations.
 The Myrtle H.. is named for Mr. Lewis granddaughter, littla Myrtle Hull. She is a fine type of sea craft. being Mir. Lewis ideal in that line, as he created his own model. and with the aid of his sons has done all the work on the vessel,
 The shop in which construction is going on was built by Mr.. Lewis recently expressively for boat building. The Myrtle is the first boat to be begun in the new shop. Alaska spruce is the principal wood used tho cedar is employed in finishing the cabin. A 27 h. p. Imperial is the engine selected by her owner. The vessel is to be painted white.. the cabin and trimmings to ba golden brown.
 Mir. Lewis will fish for the Alaska, Hackers this summer. The Myrtle H. makes a worthy addition to the local fishing fleet as few boats of her size and ca pacity claim WrangeIl harbor as their home.

Capital Punishment a Heritage of the.
 Dark, Ages: By ISADORE STERN. Member Pennsylvania, Legislature

E, IE lfave 'o'stgrown the age when w law was regarded:as weap-
 on of vengeance to be wield- ed by the state against violators of its laws. We have come to see that causes over which: the criminal has no control. frequently are at, the bottom of his crime.
 We know thgts heredity, training, environment, education, all tend to influence the life .offalh human being. Thus we have come to regard the law in it's, proper, light not as 8 thing of vengeance, but! as an insti tuition of correction. YOU GAN. NOT CORRECT BY KILLING.
 The death sentence is the heritage of: a dark age and should be abol- ished. Edo not believe its abolition would increase the number of mur. ders. On the other hand, l believe, the substitution of life imprison, ment would bring about more con. victions of real murderers than are now obtained in our courts. Jury men then would not hesitate to con- vict where the facts show guilt.
