Chaplin Draws We'll at Coliseum Theatre.

Charlie Chaplin together with the big fve-reel metro feature with May Ali son and Harold Lockwood drew large crowds. Juneau comedy lovers always flock to see Chaplin whenever he ap- pears here and in The Immigrant" he has caused many laughs here. Without a doubt this is the funnist Chaplin ever seen here. and as it is brand new, having been released less than two months ago in the States. practically no one in Juneau had ever seen it be- fore
 In Big Tremain," Harold Lockwood and May Allison from a combination which for good acting is hard to beat. The story allows them plenty of room for their ability to show itself in many ways. The big nine-reel show will be continued tonight and tomorrow ''The Crimson Stain" will not be shown again

DOESN'T KNOW WHERE JUNEAU
 IS LOCATED

George c. Burford, owner of Bur lords Corner yesterday received a letter from the head office of one of the largest trunk factories of the East which is gem. The letter informs MT Burford that trunk which had been ordered cannot be shipped because Juneau can not be found on the map"
 The Seward Trunk and Bag Com pany with factory located at Pet ersburg, Va, and with branch stores in New York, Boston, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Memphis and many other Eastern and Southern cities can't ship a trunk to Juneau because they can't find the capital and largest city of Alaska in a railroad guido.
 The letter follows in part: "On July 26th we wrote you to advise us over what route to ship trunk ordered by Liggett & Meyer Tobac- co Company, of New York City, to be forwarded to you.
 ''if you desire us to make ship ment, kindly advise us where Juneau is located, as we cannot find any such place in any of our railroad guides here"
 Frequently Juneau merchants have been embarrassed by dealers inform ing them that they are holding ship. ments for the opening of navigation, when as matter of fact Juneau has almost daily steamer service, but never before has Juneau merchant been called upon to tell the shipper where Juneau is located"

SPAWNED-0UT
 SALMON MIGHT
 FURNISH FOOD
Expert Believes That the Flesh May Be Con- served for Food
 Purposes.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-A new eDtree, underasome fancy name, may soon appear on the menus of the restaurants and households of this country Hundreds of thousands of pounds of the ma terial for this entree are annually thrown away in Washington; but Washington has not been engaged in war until this year. Spawned out salmon is the food in prospect.
 Chemical tests by Dr. c. w. John son, dean of the college of phar- macy at the University of Washing ton, so far seem likely to determine that spawned-out salmon when prop erly handled are fit food. Protein, fat, ash, and moisture were the ele- ments considered. A fish that had just entered from the ocean would be analysed, and a spawned-out fish from the hatchery compared The tabulations show little difference in moisture and ash, but the per centage of fat in the green" fish had decreased in the spawnod-out fish, and the percentage of protein had relatively increased. There is also a loss of weight
 Mature female salmon ready to spawn do not eat after leaving salt water and entering the mouths of fresh water streams. On their jour ney to the spawning grounds they battle with one another and strug- gle up rapids and waterfalls and over rocks, and become lean and scared. A few days after their eggs are deposited they die These salmon presumably would not make fit food
 The artificial spawning at the hatchery does not leave the flesh in such bad condition, however There the salmon are killed and op- ened, and the eggs removed. The tests seemed to show that the flesh. if cared for at once, was on a par with the third grade fish put out by many canneries, and quite fit to eat. Salmon that &he capner.es take are ordinarily mature fish on the way to spawn, and the hatchery pro- duct would not be appreciably tougher.
 About four hundred thousand pounds are disposed of each year at the Kalama and Wind River hatch cries alone. Heads of state institu- tions who were finding it hard to stay within their food allowance un- der the h. c. l. asked for the tests.
 Hatchery salmon have been used for fertilizer, or fed to animals, or buried. State Food and Game Com missioner L. H. Darwin will soon announce whether apawnea-out sal mon may be offered Tor public sale.

 How he hires the holy pilgrim to marry her. under the promise that he will immediately divorce her, how after the marriage the pilgrim refuses to pronounce the necessary words and af- ter being hunted high and low the two escape from the city. how the merchant and the holy man are lost in a sand storm and the pilgrim saves the life or the merchant. how the girl finds her father and is finally reunited to her husband form pretty little story of love and adventure which is hard to beat

st. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co.,
and the Milwaukee docks.
This was followed by a still
larger concern, incorporated for
100000 by a group of Tacoma
men, whose plans for taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity caused
by the ship shortage, began In the
Commercial club. The incorpora-
tors are John S. Baker, A. v. Love,
w. II. Smell, Henry A. Rhodes,
Charles b. Hurley, A. G. Prichard
and j. S. Whitehouse.
This company started out with
Iplans for filling contracts for 5000
ton vessels of the type constructed
in Seattle for Norwegian shippers.
II has options on three sites, all of
them on the tide flats close to the
business center of the city.
To Build Eight Steamers.
Announcing contracts for the
building of eight steel steamers,
the Washington Shipbuilding Co.,
VS. incorporated a day later with
100000 capital stockk. The in
|corporators are w. G. Hellar and
William Jones of Tacoma; ID. ID.
Hartman and G. B. McMasters of
Seattle. McMasters has moved to
Tacoma and is in active charge of
the company's affairs. The COM
pany is planning to begin work on
the Tacoma plant this month.
The last of the new concerns to
be Incorporated is the Peoples
Shipbuilding & Construction Co.,
backed by $250,000 eastern cap
ital. The company has secured 20
acres of tide land property at I'm
ion Bay, Gig Harbor, and has an
nounced that it will begin opera
tons this month with enough con-
tracts in sight to keep the plant
busy for the next two years.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 is
being spent on equipment alone, 1t
is promised, and the yards will be
equipped to accommodate half
dozen wooden vessels at one time.
Shipyards Are Busy.
But while these new concerns
have been springing up and giving
promise of a big busy year along
the waterfront in 1917, Tacoma
has heard the sound of the ham,

mer from at least two Tacoma
shipyards, which have been actual
lily constructing and launching good
sized wooden vessels for ocean
trade.
The Seaborn Shipbuilding Co. Of
Tacoma which began construction
work at its yards on the city water
way, already has launched the $40
foot auxiliary schooner Seaborn,
has another 180-foot schooner
ready for launching within less
than two weeks. and has the keel
laid for a third, which will be the
largest Of them all. This will be
five-masted, 2500-ton auxiliary
cruiser, 266 feet over all, built for
Hans Christian Hansen, a Nor
wegian ship owner. She will be
equipped with two 240-horsepower
Skandia engines. The Seaborn
yard also has other big contracts
in sight when these two vessels are
completed.
Many Smaller Vessels.
On the waterfront at Old Town
the Barbre Bros. Shipyard also has
been busy turning out vessels dur
ing the year. The largest of these
was the four-masted auxiliary lum-
Der schooner Else, launched last
August.
Dozens of smaller vessels, fish
ing schooners and small power
boats, have been turned out by the
Barbara Bros, the Strubstad Boat
Co., Wogbo e Johnson, and the
Skansie Bros, at Gig Harbor.
The Barbara Bros. plant is
working right now on a fleet Of
60-foot power fishing boats for
various owners on the coast. The
Barbares have contracts for 80 of
these vessels, averaging $4,000
each in cost.
The Seaborn yards have been
largely responsible for Tacoma's
contribution to the record set by
Puget Sound and the northwest for
building more wooden vessels dur
ing 1916 than any other section of
the country.
District Holds Record.
The records of the United States
department of commerce show that
the total gross tonnage for wooden
vessels in this section for the year
was $3.50, based on the number
of vessels building or contracted
for. OF the 116 wooden vessels
building in the United States, this
section has SO, or nearly one-third.
The Seaborn Shipbuilding Co., is
credited with five ships of q total
gross tonnage Of 1900.
