ALASKA HERRING NOW CUREDBY
 NEW ME THOD

w. T. Studdert and c. W. Ander- son, of the United States Buread cf Fisheries, arrived in CordoYa ,a: Il Q last steamer and will remain here se- veral weeks, introducing ;he scotch method of curing the herring, which promises to develope into one of Al askas best fishing industries. Film mating the technical details the g. gents said: AS land stations are almost unobtainable. a good scow is required and this in some cases has marked advantage over the shore station as it enables .-the pack CT to follow the herring from place to place.
 'In Scotland the herring are caught from 20 to 50 miles of shore in gill nets operated by steam drifters. When the herring first strike these shores they are full of red feed which makes them unfit for curing purposes. Gill nets are therefore not practical at this season for the fish must be caught alive and kept alive in ponds, the same as in Nor way, until they rid themselves of this objectionable red feed.
 The pond method of fishing has good and bad points. In this method many small herring are caught which are only fit for bait and they have to be sorted, and herring readily lose their scales which does not improve their appearance when cured To off set these disadvantages the packers are assured of a daily support while the herring are also given a chance No NiNpi OL lilt ibu ltCu
 Later in the season as the her ring show formation of milt, or roe. they seem to be clear of red feed and as gill nets would greatly help in the grading or selecting the fish, less labor would be required in hand ling them. The smaller, or bait her ring are thus given a chance to es- cape.
 "The method of curing in brief is as follows After the fish are caught they are removed from the boat i'm. mediately and lightly sprinkled with salt Then they are gibbed and the gut bag removed, after which they

hurricane; the rain came down In

water blotted out the landscape.
The woman was hurled against the

Below the mesa the lake was
whipped into foam by the beat of the
rain and rolled into waves by the as
sault of the wind. All three Of them

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-There will be
no Westinghouse California Stanford boat
race in 1918. The only athletic compe-
tition between California universities
and northwestern colleges will be Cali
fornia Is football games next fall.
This has been decided at the Pacific
Coast Intercollegiate Athletic confer
ence in session here today. The war
made such action necessary, the dele
gates agreed. 1t was decided that while
athletic relation should be continued,
it was impossible to predict what the
coming draft might 20 to athletes and
it was considered inadvisable to arrange
any elaborate schedules.
Football schedules for next fall will
be arranged today. Calh ornia will prob
ably play Washington at Seattle on
Thanksgiving Day, while Oregon and
the Oregon Aggies will undoubtedly be
seen at California field Berkeley.
One important rule that will be adopt
ed is that which will forbid any football
practice or organization before Septem-
Der is. This year California started
practice August Is. The first year eligi-
bility rule has been modified also to
provide that students may compete in
athletics during their first year if they
enter college as sophomores and come
from an institution having a standard
bachelor degree.
Oregon and Washington university
delegates staged pretty row over
that cancelled Oregon Washington foot

restored harmony.
