HERRING CANNERY AT PORT WALTER
New Company Preparing for a Pack of 10000 Cases of
 Kippered Herring
Petersburg Report]

Further particulars regarding the new herring cannery to be estab- lished at Port Walter by the Alas ka Pacific Herring Company were learned Tuesday on the arrival in this city of Eigil Buschmann, who came north to arrange for the start ing of building operations. MT. Buschmann was accom-. panied by o. Anderson, under whose direction the buildings for the new industry will be construct. ed.
 The company has not yet made known who will be superintendent of the cannery, though 1t is an- nounced that Petersburg is to be the business headquarters of the new enterprise.
 The plant is to be located at the head of the Bay at Port Walter, about five miles distant from the Wakefield herring cannerv.
 The plans call for three cold storage buildings, each 4ox1oo feet with combined cooling-room capacity for 10, ,ooo barrels of her. ring; building tor sorting-room, 4ox1oo; cannery building, 36xIoo; fish 4ox5o; power.house, 3ox4o; roofed wharf, 3ox1oo. There will also be store building, 3ox4o feet, ',oarding-houses for white and Oriental employees, 36xoo and 3ox8o respectively, and a superintendent's residence.
 There is abundant water power in the vicinity, which will be util- ized for lighting the plant and op- erating all machinery. A contract was let Tuesday to Peter Iorgensen for 20, ,ooo feet of piling for the wharf. It is planned to start erection of the buildings the first of March, and to have all building work completed and the plant in readiness for operation by May 20.
 The company is preparing for pack the coming season of 10000 cases of kippered herring; also to put up herring in spices and other styles, as we'll as a large pack ot the regulation salt herring.
 About 14o men will be employed, at the plant and in fishing oper- ations, including an Oriental crew of eighty or ninety.

EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS IN THE ATLIN DISTRICT

Charles Miller, the Boulder Creek mining man, Atlin district, returned on the Prince John Sat urday morning, from a hurried business trip to Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver.
 When seen by a representative of this paper MT. Miller said that he has been engaged in extensive drift mining on Boulder Creek for the past several years just below the Black workings which produced hundreds of thousands of dollars
 worth of gold in 1907, 2, 3, and 4. There were about 10 men em- ployed on this work last season, I but this winter there is only 8 men i employed opening up ground which will enable him to work about 90 men during the summer season. While outside MT. Miller and Jack McLaren, a brother of the man who discovered gold in the Atlin district, secured lay on
 5000 feet of the Charles Queen leases, laying along side of Pine
 Creek, just above the town of Dis covery, and he also secured from the Columbia Gold Mines Com pany the use of an abundance of water from their immense ditch, tor use in hydraulicing this ground on a large scale. These leases are known to be very rich in gold, but the lack of water have prevented their operation until the present time, and now that arrangements have been made whereby a supply | of water sufficient for the operation I of this property has been made, the
 tact that operations on a large scale are to be carried on will add
 a great deal to making this district
 one of the big producers of the l northern section of British Colum-
 bia.

 mines on today's train.-Skayway ] Alaskan.

ART OF SAVING MONEY.

The Wisdom of Building Up Instead s4 slieins Down.
 In the American Magazine a writ CT on the art of saving money says:
 "When an old uncle of mine died and left me little bequess of s543 my first impulse was to even it of, ; and if it hadn't been for an old friend of my fathers 1 think I would have succeeded in neatly par ing it down to zero.
 "'What were you thinking of do ing with that money?' he asked cas- ually one day.
 "Wen.' I replied, I think I'n just take that s45 and go for little lake trip, and then in have $500 to put in the bank
 "'Why $500? he said. Why not $545Y
 "4Oh, I replied, you might as well have an even amounte
 .'Do you suppose you could spare me $5 P he asked suddenly.
 "'Why, .yes,' l replied, ! little surprised that he should ask to bor- row money of me, but l handed it to him.
 ~'All right, then.' he said; here's $5,' handing me back that same bill. If you'll just put this with that s545 you'll have $55o, and that's q nice even amount. Now, if you'll put that in the bank, in three months it will have. earned $5.50 more, and surely in the mean time you can scrape together S44.5O, and then you'll have an oven S600 instead of $500'
 "'Well, what could l dc with SCOOP I asked, not very much i'm pressed, as the difference didn't seem worth the trouble.
 "'One thing you could do,' re- piled the old gentleman. would be to ask your banker to buy thou sand dollar bond for you or, rather, to lend you the extra $4oo, keeping the bond as security, and then it wouldn't be long before you would have S1,00o, which for seven amounts" is little better than $500
 "Then with 2 pencil and paper he showed me carefully just how, long it would take.
 "'Of course you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but l have noticed he went on thoughtfully, that this business of having little by you k pretty much a matter of the way your mind works Some people always want te esen things of in money matters, others want to even them up, and once you get started at it, thinking up isn't much harder than thinking down For in- stance, if I showed you l3 cents you might say, "I can spend } cents for popcorn, and then I'll have | dime, or you could say, "If I put 2 cents with that I'll have IS oents."
 ~Tt's the dovnhill people, the people who follow the path of least resistance, the people who slice of . little instead of building up little, who never get anywhere in life.

\ youngster had been very rude to his mother, and she had turned him over to his father to be disci- plined when the following converse tion was overheard:
 "Ted, did you say so and 80 to your mother?"
 "Yes, dad"
 "Well, you will have to settle that matter with her, because she IS your mother and not mine. But she Is my wife, and I will not alloy any man, young or old, to be rude to her. Now you must apologize to mo for being rude to my wife, and then you can settle with your mother for being rude to her"

The name "harmatan" has been given to . wind which periodically blows from the interior of Africa toward the Atlantic during Decem- Der, January and February. It is heralded by fog or dry haze, which sometimes conceals the sun foe whole weeks together. Every plant, every bit of grass and leaf in its course is vithered as though it had been scared by heat from a furnace Often within an hour after it begins to blow green grass is dry enough to burn.
