BUILDINGS
 FOR FRENCH OFFICERS

Little Rock, Oct. 3-Raek on the extreme north corner of Camp Pike there is a two story building being constructed that Is if anything more homelike than the others. It is the quarters for French officers who are soon to arrive to instruct the drafted army in the use of the bayonet, the grenade and trench warfare From the size of the building at least 50 French officers are to come to Camp Pike.
 Among the Tuesday afternoon ar rivals at the Camp were over 20 youths from inland parish of Louis jana. Not one of the number could speak English, all conversing with the receiving officers in French. They will probably be assigned to company which already has TO Frenchmen in it's ranks. These men will also be utilized for teaching French to the drafted men.

Seattle Fish Men Are in Juneau on Important Mission of Benefit
 to Channel.
FISH MARKET EXPLAINED
Seattle Manager Says That Fish Business Will Gradually Go
 Back to South.

Roy Jenson and Jesse lesson, own. CTS and managers of the Washington Fish Company, of Seattle, arrived from the south on one of the recent boats and are here Investigating the local field with a view 10 establish ing buying company here,
 Mr Jenson stated>today that buy. CT for their company has been placed at Ketchikan. and that after they conclude their business here the two men will leave for Prince Rupert. lie also stated that market coudi. tions had as much to do with taking the fish trade away from Seattle and transferring it to Prince Rupert as did the laws and rules which have been blamed for it.
 There was little demand for fish for years and the price was low, therefore the Seattle dealers would not pay much" said Mir. Jenson. About the time the Prince Rupert stations were established by the Cam adians, the market started to stiisen and the price raised, which allowed the dealers to pay higher prices. This was followed by the war in Europe and thc demand for fish jumped with leaps and bounds, the price at the same time advancing rapidly.
 "The average fisherman. not uu- derstaudiug marketing conditions, found that he could get higher pric- es at Prince Rupert, and without analysing the conditions which made that fact possible, jumped to the conclusion that the Canadian firms were paying better and that the Seat tie fish traders were robbing the fish ermen.
 This fact was far from the truth, and the low prices which had pre-. vailed were entirely due to market conditions and not due to the rap acity of the Seattle dealers. As Q matter of fact the Seattle dealers have been paying as much as their Canadian opponents, and by the es. tablishmcnt of buyers in the Alaskan ports, much of the business will ulti- mately be sent back to the southern ports"
 The two men are at the Zynda.
