On Motion of Senator Greenhouse of Washington the Measure lmme- diatey Was Transmitted To

 The bone dry" bill, providing that Arkansas shall be absolutely free from liquor, passed the Senate with but four opposing votes at 10:30 o'clock Monday omrning. Half an hour later an exact copy of the same bill was passed by the House with only four opposing votes.
 If either house passes the others measure, it will require but the sigma ture of Governor Brough for the meas ure to become law. The Senate has the House bill and the House has the Senate bill, and either can be called up. passage Of one suff1cing.
 There was but little opposition in either branch of the legislature. In the Senate a move was started to have the bill called up later, when Senator Caldwell of Jefferson declar- ed that he had sent out letters re specting it, and was not ready to con- sider the measure.
 An effort was made in the House 10 amend the House bill so that it would be possible for manufacturers to se- cure alcohol, but this holdup likewise was crushed without great opposi- tion.
 The Senate's mild filibuster was brought to a quick end when Senator Garrett said that he believed the meas ure was sure to pass, and that it was bof hi O q c. ure should be the one to become a law. He pointed out the situation two years ago, when Senator White and Repre- sentative Newberry introduced exact ly similar bills, one in the Senate the other in the House, and the Newberry bill, making Arkansas dry was pass ed, leaving an empty honor for Sena- tor White.
 When the statement was made, Sen- ator Caldwell withdrew his objection to calling up the Senate bill and state ments by various members of the upper house ended with it's passage.

fOf CANNERIES BE
 OPERATED THIS COAST

SEWARD. April 24. - There will be operated along the coast of Alaska from Ketchikan in the south to the Nushagak section in the north. 1O4 salmon canneries this season. Ap- proximately 3O,OO0 men will be em- ployed for an average of ninety days. ; It was the old idea that salmon cannery must be located on or near
 the mouth of some river up which the
 salmon run to the spawning grounds,
 but this fallacy has been exploded and the salmon packers are looking for the places where the most fish can be caught at sea with purse seines. | Fish taken in salt water are of su- periOr quality to those caught after reaching the fresh streams, where the salmon at once begin to deteriorate.
 For the most part. however, these canneries are grouped near the fresh
 water streams, in many places there is from 500 to 500 miles of coast line taking into account all the indenta- tions and deep cut fjords without a cannery in sight.
 Many new canneries are being con- structed this spring, including three on the Alaska peninsula.
 Already the packers are beginning to take precautions to safeguard the supply of fish and to seek the destruc- tion of any animal which preys upon or destroys the salmon. To this end a bill has been introduced at Juneau before the territorial legislature by which a bounty of $5 per head will be placed on hair seal. This animal and the so-called sealion eat more fish ; each season than would keep many canneries supplied. A herd of several thousand live just outside Resurrec- tion bay, which it is estimated by those informed, eat more in day than could be handled by two line
 Cannery, or about 30,000 fish daily. Another improvement being tried out is the establishment of a cold stor- age plant in connection with every cannery. When the run is at it's height in Bristol bay more fish are caught in a day than can possibly be pack ed before the time limit placed by law within which the fish must be canned after being caught expires. The result is the leftover fish are wasted.
