SEVENTY AWAITING
 TO SECURE PASSAGE
 TO WESTWARD PORTS

One of the busiest places in Ju- neau for the past week has been the office of the Alaska Steamship Company. There are at least sev- enty men who desire to go west on the Northwestern and they have been thronging the office for the past several days.
 Many of these men came north on local boats from Seattle beliey- ing they would stand a better chance of getting aboard here. Pri- vate advices from the South are to the effect that all Westward steamers are sold out for the next two months and that no more book ings will be taken by the steam ship offices.
 The local office has very limited number of tickets to dispose of having only the space made vacant by passengers leaving the boat here. All day yesterday the of fee was crowded and this morn ing the men were around the door long before the office opened fol business. Many of the men state that they have had reservations on the past two or three boats, bu; have been unable to get aboard But a limited number will be taken out by the Northwestern tonight.

CANNERIES SAY S-HOUR LAW IS VERY DANGEROUS Applied to Fisheries Would CurtaiI Pack when
 Food is Most
 Needed. ASK FOR EXEMPTION Association Asks That Fisheries Be Exempted
 from Operation of

The salmon cannerieS of Alaska contend that the application of an eight-hour law to the fishing indus try of Alaska would be ruinous. Identical telegrams were received this morning by Judge John k. Vim and Judge R. A. Gunnison from the canneries association which say that such a law would seriously reduce the output of the Alaska fisheries, and curtail the quantity of foodstuff in the country at time when the United States government is doing all 1t can to promote increase.
 Copies of the telegrams were dis tributed among members of. the Sen ate and House of Representatives to- day The telegrams were signed by P. E. Harris, secretary of the Asso- citation of Pacific Fisheries, and reads as follows:
 "Eight-hour law for salmon canners would jeopardize and seriously dimin- ish an exceedingly important and necessary food product. Present pack canned salmon and many other food articles practically exhausted, and their replenishment most essential at present time of stress.
 Word of salmon canners is sea sonal, and many of seamen, fisher men and mechanics usually employ ed in canneries have obtained per manent work in shipbuilding, ship ping and other occupations, making available supply of labor very scarce Army enlistments will further re duce labor supply and it will be i'm possible for canners under such new law to put up anything like average pack which the country is bound tc have under present war emergency
 Government officials urging coop eration of packers to put up as large packs as possible. Passage of such law will seriously frustrate efforts ol government to obtain food supplies for our people and allies.
 "Please show this telegram to al members of Legislature and Cover nor and impress upon them the abso lute necessity for safety of the coun try to except from bill if passed packers of salmon and other perish able goods. Such exception wa: made by Legislature of Washington laws 1911, page 31, which was upheld by Supreme Court"

GIVES SECRET OF SUCCESS
George w. Perkins Method 10 to Live
Every Day a. II II Were to Be
the Only One.

my own method has been to live
every day as though 1t was the only
day had to live, and to crowd every
thing possible into that day. Pay no
attention to the clock or what you
are paid, but work and live for all
that is In it-just as you play foot
ball-and everything else will take
care of ITSELF" said George W. Per-
Hrs.
THE head Of the table is the place
where there Is most room. It is the
tree that grows and grows until 1t
overtops the others that gets the most
air and sunshine. The thing for the
young man to do IN to strive with all
the energy he possesses to excel In
actual ability.
"Pull Is not necessary. Nor should
a young man bother too much about
his wages. I never asked an increase
In my life. You can command sooner
or later what you are entitled to-if
you prominently deserve 1t.
But you have got to be ultra-profi-
cient in some particular thing. You
must stand out and do It better than
fellows around you whether you
re an office boy, stenographer or an
texecutive. You must use your head
as well as your hands. Don't be afraid
to do extra work lest 1t interfere with
your theater going. I don't 60 to the
