OFFICIALS ON TOUR OF U. s. R.R. AND COAL FIELDS CALL, WILL
 RETURN OVER ROUTE OF LINE

has with him Edward F. Wendt and A. D. Shepherd
 Mir. Shepherd for many years prior to his retirement from active service, was with the traffic, freight and de- velopment departments of the South ern Pacific, being chief in charge of the Pacific Improvement company, which handled the greatest of the liar riman projects on the west coast. He came with the party on personal re- quest of Secretary Lane.
 Mr. Wendt is widely known as an expert on costs and construction and his keen questions concerning local work showed his proficiency in this line.
 While here the members of the party were guests of the Chamber of Commerce and were taken out the road as far as possible on account of construction, by Mir. Weir. Mrs. Shep- herd, who is accompanying her huS- band on the trip, was taken for an auto ride with several of the ladies prior to the ride out the line.
 Mir. Shepherds familiarity with traffic conditions resulted in thorough questioning as to train haul, grades, curvature, etc, in fact, all members of the party made it evident that they are fully appraised of the importance of getting the road completed and commencing coal shipment.
 After visiting the coal fields the party will return over the line to Sew ard and may go in to Fairbanks.

Assistant Secretary Meyer, of the Interior Department, accompanied by Edward F. Wendt. engineer of the ln- terstate Commerce Commission, A. D.. Shepherd, formerly a high Southern Pacific official, and H. F. Austin, of Meyers staff, arrived on the Admiral Evans last night and sailed west after g tour of inspection over the road to Mile 9. accompanied by R. J. Weir, en- gineer in charge here.
 The purpose of this party's visit to Alaska, according to the Assistant Secretary. is to acquaint themselves with conditions, and results obtained, and be able to report in full and ad- wise with Secretary Lane in regard to affairs on the government railroad and connection with the opening of the coal fields.
 unfortunately Secretary Lane has been so busy with war affairs and other matters of grave importance that he had not had the opportunity to come in person" said Meyer.
 "As all Alaskans know, the Secre- tary considers the territory and it's development as the most important work of his department and even now with his burden as member of the Council of Defense to look after, Mir. Lane gives Alaska foremost consider ation."

"The market in this country will be exceptionally good the coming year, due to the European embargo on fish, the bulk of Scotch cured herring com ing heretofore from Scotland, Ireland, and the Shetland Islands. The fish in these waters differ in many respects from the fish on the other side (of the Atlantic) but what l have seen is nevertheless of good quality. In my opinion, the herring industry in Al aska is destined in the next few years to assume almost as large proportions as the salmon industry.
 "All communications will be given due attention and services rendered at the expense of the government"
 AS a result of the visit of govern ment herring experts to Southeastern Alaska, the biggest herring industry in the history of the Pacific Coast is going to Lisianski Straits, backed partly by Juneau capital. The com pany has already booked one order from New York of 30,0O0 barrels of Scotch cured herring at $3O a barrel. The plant to be built will include a large freezer for fresh fish and bait, oil and fertilizer plant and a two-line cannery for salmon.
 It is the intention of the owners to construct not only large freezer for fresh fish but to handle herring and can salmon. Also headquarters will be maintained for the independent fleet.
