GREAT ACT|V| Y IN SALMON
 CANN|NG

The race to put tin around the sal mon' by canneries located on Prince William sound. has attained un equalled proportions this season and If the fish appear, record breaking packs are assured
 Any one who even has the appear. ance of fisherman or looks strong enough to pull net is in danger of being put to work if he shows m in the vicinity of a cannery these days.
 The manager of the Port Nellie Juan cannery has the game down to science, and has every white man and Siwash at work It runs something like this: A native will arrive on one of his friends boats and wander into the cannery to look around. The manager, on sighting him, will make right for him and say fish"
 Unless the fellow makes violent pro- testations to the contrary, he will be hustled off to the boat house. supplied with boat, nets, gasoline for the en- zine, oil, food and even candy and cigars, and then he is patted on the back and told to hustle the fish.
 Prince William sound is thick with these small gasoline boats and tend CTS are running night and day gather ing up the catches for various can neries. Wherever two or three fisher men for one concern locate a barge Is placed, and the fishermen dump their catches, placing 8 tally card in the tin can provided for the tally and the tender captain checks the tally and credits each man with his catch This prevents waste of time by the fishermen in taking fish to the can neries.
 There is no night in these attitudes in summer, and the men work almost continuously, sleeping at short inter vals between tides while waiting to overhaul the gill nets.
 Several of the canneries expect to go over the 100000 case mark, and the great Carlisle cannery at Cordova, which packed 125,00 cases last year, expects to go we'll above the 2OO,OOO case mark this season

PACIFIC FLEET IN NEED ALASKA
 GOAL

Senator Chamberlain is advised by Secretary Lane that the Alaska rail. road branch to the Matanuska coal field will be completed in September. The gap of g miles along Turnagain arm, between Anchorage and Seward, will be completed early next year. Track is being laid north on the main line to Matanuska Junction. and the line is being pushed south of Fair banks toward the Nenana coal fields. It is estimated that coal for the navy and the Pacific coast will be deliv. cred early next year.
 Senator MeNary had a conference with Secretary Lane, regarding the Pacific coal situation. Secretary Lane said the interior department is anx- fous to cooperate in any feasible plan to get cheaper coal, as the gov ernment is paying over SIP a ton for coal for the Pacific fleet. It is im- possible, he said, to get coal from Alaska through government railroad operations until spring, when the line from the Matanuska fields will be completed and coal will be brought to tidewater. The government. how ever, will not transport coal to the Pacific coast for domestic use.
 MT. McNary told the secretary he believed that unnecessary restrictions are imposed by the government In pre- venting private capitul from develop ing Alaska coal, and offered to sub init the form of a lease cutting out the red tape and impossible requirements under which he has assurance from private investors they will undertake to develop Alaska coal Mir. Lane said he would carefully consider the pro posed form of the lease, which Mir. McNary will submit immediately.

W HALE MEAT |S CONSIDERED \
 DEL|CACY
(By Associated Pressl

SACRAMENTO, July 26. - The chief difference between whale meat and beefsteak is that whale meat is better, according to Barton W. Ever mann. chairman of the committee on geological investigation at the Uni versity of California, This opinion was expressed to Dean Thomas F. Hunt. of the University Agricultural College, in response to a request from the San Francisco Chambetr of Com merce for information on the subject. The state council of defense is in receipt of Evermann's reply.
 The whale is not fish. but man. nal, like sheep. cattle and hogs. ac- cording to the university investigator, and there is no fishy taste whatso- ever to whale meat. which resembles beef in appearance, but is darker red. There is no bone. gristle or fat in the meat, and it can be sold at ten cents pound and still net the whal- ing company profit. Much whale meat now is used for chicken feed and fertilizer. but it's use as human feed sa apt to become more general. Evermann believes. One trial. he says. is all that is needed to convince the average person 1t is as good as beefsteak or better.

ra other defendants, placed a suitcase which the state contended, enclosed the bomb, at the spot where the blast occurred. One witness said he saw Billings. accompanied by Mooney. place the suitcase on the sidewalk.
 The defense contended that the bomb. was hurled from the roof of a buildildg, and witnesses testified they had aeen black object coming through the air before the detonation.
 Bits of what purported to have been pieces of an alarm clock, by which the state eontended the bomb was exploded; pieces of what purport- ed to have been parts of suitcase and other exhibits such as bullets and jagged pieces of iron picked up on the scene after the explosion, were admitted as evidence.
 Eleven days before the explosion Mrs, Mooney obtained about twelve pounds of notre, a component of dy- namite. one witness testified. A de- tectise testified that bullets extract ed from the bodies of victims and i picked up from the sidewalk were identical with many found in Mrs. Mooney's apartments.
