WILL JAN
 "GRAYFISH"

The humble dogfish, which by an other name (grayfish) would prob ably taste a great deal better, in the future will cease to annoy the
 fishermen of Hood canal, according to Walter Estus, head of the Hood Canal Canning Company, of Bangor, who is in Seattle, says the P. l. of that city. MT. Estus, who has been canning clans successfully for the past four years on Hood canal, came to arrange for labels, and, starting on the first or next month will can all the dogfish the fisher men bring him. He expects to handle 100 cases day at first and will increase the capcity later. MT. Esius, who is familiar with the underwater denizens of Hood canal, does not expect any difficulty in se- curing all the "grayfish" he wants, and there are several hundred fish ermen in the same region who will be eager to supply him.

RED CROSS APPEAL

The American Red Cross Society, which has done such magnifi- cent work in many fields of Flu rope, faces the possibility that it may have to cease it's labors and disban> its present forces at the front. In making a last appeal to the American people for aid it points out this possibility.
 As a people we take immense pride in the contributions which have been made for the relief of war sufferers. In the aggregate they have been heavy. but when the amount is divided on the basis or population the average of the American contributions to all forms Of relief work in Europe becomes insignificant. It is a notable fact that the Red Cross has received by no means any extraordinarily large proportion of the total contributions although this agency has ac- complished much with the funds at it's command.
 The entire American cOntribu- tfons to the Red Cross Soiety since the outbreak of the war have az gregated but $2,144,0OO. One single American philanthpopist has him self contributed more to a single institutiun established by himself than the remaining people of the United States have given -J aid the Red Cross in it's noble work.
 The present appeal should not re- main unanswered. Of coure 1t will mor be.-P.-I.

ALASKA FARMING

Recent reports and bulletins of the Federal government impress the reader with the agricultural possi- bililics Of Alaska. The great ter ri,ory, long regarded as a region of perpetual ice and snow by people of tho East, and prineially valued by it's old friends for it's mineral treasures, is posseed of an asset of grca- value in it's farming possibilt- tres. ;,
 There are thousands of acres Of rich valley lands in the North, oD which the crops of the north tem perate zone may be produced in abundance; where the growing sea sou is sufficiently long and war enough to mature crops beforr early flosts, and where the win Iers are net so trying as on the Middle Western prairies. On these lands, ultimately, wealth will De produced not only in general farm. ing, but particularly in dairying an stoc- raising. It is feature or Aiaska's future that has not here to7cre entered into the territorial eOuaticr. and it is a department ot industry that will ultimately bring thousands Of permanent residents to the North.
 Mir John Noon, of Seward, now yfsum in Seattle with other Alas kaus. has recently adyerted to the agricultural advantages of the nortd AIr. Nocn was a resident of East eru Washington as long age as IH62, when that now rich farming aut fruit district was regarded as dcser-. He notes that the desert has become the rich farming area O the Northwest He compares Al aska pioueer farmers present condi- ten with that of the farmers wRo were trying to live in Eastern Wash iugton in the early days, and says:
 The pioneer Alaska farmer of today gets for his butter 50 cents a pouEd and for his potatoes $40 a ton and he is better off than was the rscreer farmer of the West. l have seen herds of cattle in that North country fat from the native forage. l have seen grain mature and splendid crops of all the hard fer varieties Of vegetables. My ex- perience as q frontiersman assures me concIusveIy that Alaska will have a population of successful farm mers."

tain cases is restricted as stated
Tho law only affects property within
the limits OF the city of Louisville.
Suburban subdivisions are not affected
thereby, it being the contention OF the
trainers that the crowded conditions
and close association of negro and
white families in tho city tends to
cause conflict and disorder. as well as
to lead to the danger of amalgamation
OF the two races. 1t was also shown
that where negroes move into white

TO RID both SECTIONS
OF IT'S UNDEsIRADLEs
Opponents OF the ordinance claim that
as result OF the measure the negro
Inhabitants Of Louisville would be
compelled to live In quarters where
they will be thrown into close touch
with and subject to contamination by
disaEreeab)e and worthless neighbors.
and that it prevents them from NOV
borhoods and confines them to un-
healthy and crowded localities" This
contention was expressly denied by tho
advocates for the ordinance. They as
sert that the ordinance Is framed SO
that what is prohibited to the negro
is prohibited to the white, and that
the ordinance will be the means OF rid
ding the negro sections OF that unde-
sirable class of white people which is
frequently found in such localities It
is further claimed that the question
OF desirability is economic, and that
experience has shown that the negro
sections when relieved OF the burden
Of undesirab bio residents will be made
desirable.
Opponents also contend that the prom
erty rights OF the negro in the city of
Louisville are greatly affected thereby.
This Is met by the contention of the
advocates for the ordinance that the
same rule applies to the white as we'll
as to the negro residents. What is
granted one is granted the other
What is denied tho one is denied the
other. And further. as the white poo
pie own the bulla of property in the
city Of Louisville, that any restric-
tons upon property would fall heavier
upon the white owner than upon the
negro owner.
The case was the outgrowth OF suit
instituted by Charles H. Buchanan, u
white property owner, to compel Will
liam Marley, negro to fulfill a con-
tract to purchase his property. The
deal was conditional upon Warley's be-
ing able TO reside there under the
terms Of the segregation ordinance 1t
was alleged in the petition that the lot
in question. being next to negro
residence. was not salable to white
person for n residence. and, therefore,
the owner wished to sell II to a negro
for that purpose. AS the majority of
persons living on the block, where the
property was located. were white, War

property for a residence and refused to
