GENERAL NEWS OF FISHING INDUSTRY
 AND FISH FLEET

Capt. James Robertson, manager of the plant of the Tenakee Fish Com pany, is in the city and claims that his cannery is the high" cannery in Alaska for a one-lin9 plant. The cannery has packed 360O0 cases of fish at the present time and Capt. Robertson expects to get 41,000 cas- es before the close of the season.
 The contract pack at the plant this year was 10000 and this has nearly been doubled. Capt. Robert son claims that many more cases could have been put up, but the plant was forced to close for nearly a week on account of a can short age.
 The plant of the National lndepend- ent Company was a busy place yes terday and this forenoon and every man available was busy caring for the fish which arrived during the two days. The Olga delivered 5000 pounds of halibut and mixed fish and the Anita Phillips was also in with 5000 pounds Each boat re- ceived 9 cents straight for their fish. Fifteen hundred salmon were received from Taku and the fish will all be packed and shipped south on the first boat.
 At the plant of the Glacier Fish Company this morning the North Star delivered between 5000 and 1000 pounds of halibut and one thou sand pounds of mixed fish. One thousand salmon were also received

If you breathe Hyomei daily as d.
rected it will end your catarrh or it

Camera Lenses Wapted..I '1H'F

The United States signal corps has
issued an appeal TO the owners of all
high-grade cameras. The signal corps
needs the lenses OF their machines for
war work. 1t is known that the Unit
ed States bureau Of standards has
solved the problem Of manufacturing
high-grade optical glass for aircraft
camera lenses, but apparently they
cannot be produced in quantity fast
enough to equip our fleet Of airplanes.
The United States has always been a
great field for amateur photographers,
and there are a large number of high
grade European-made lenses scattered
about the country. These lenses the
signal corps wants TO buy. Long To-
Gus lenses working at large apertures
are the only kind which can be used,

to write you a few lines and brief
history of the trip from Eaton.

town and Mr.. Graves of Raymer.
The Red Cross ladies were mighty
good to us and before leaving Eaton
they gave us each a real good army
