not making much noise but that does
not mean that they do not intend to

WASTE FISH
 TO BE USED
Juneau Merchants Offers to Guaran- tee Fishermen a Market for
 Waste Fish

The fishermen need not throw away the carcasscs and skins ot sharks or porpolscs, nor tho skins of hair reals, is an announcement made bv Charles Goldstcin. the Ju- ncau merchant, says tho Empire Not only ls thorc market for thcm. but Mr. Goldstcln offers his services to developing tho traffic that could havo a great deal that heretofore has boon going to waste.
 Mir. Goldstcln says he is prepared to guarantee forty cents a gallon for alI shark oil, eight cents a pound for an shark skins over six feet in length and six cents for those under that length. He also will guarantee Co pay from 70 cents to $t.5O for orcE hair seal pelt
 "Thcsc prices are somewhat lesa.' said Mir. Goldstoin, "than those quoted f. O. b. Seattle, but am will ing Co guarantee them and may be abl, Co give more. The Seattle prices arc for graded products, and this guarantee is for an that comes. Lo- ter. when Che fishermen become bet ter acquainted with the grading pro- ccsscs and the various closlncations, no doubt better prices may be ob- tainod."
 The Marine Sea Products Company of Seattle also offers a market for shark and porpoiso meat. The prices quoted arc from $50 to SGO per ton. That is for the meat dried and un- ground It is used for fertilizer.
 Shark oil is classified in the mar kcts into three grades-G) crude. clear and amber color; (2) crude, clear and yollow-brown color and, C3) crude. clear and dark brown color.
 The oGcr of Mir. Goldstoin, how ever. is Co guarantee 40 cents a gall In for an grades Speaking further he said:
 "Flshcrmcn who desire to mako something from shark skins. which. i'm a fish of ten feet or more in length should produce 100 pounds or more. must be careful i'm skinning the shark The skin should bc ripped down thc belly and not other wise cut. 1T tho skin is nickcd or has holes in it it will detract from ,ts value. These directions also op- ply Co hair scals and porpoiscs."
 Mr. Goldstciu makes this offer to thc fishermen and others for the purpose of trying out the proposition of saving sharks and other waste fish. He is confident that if a suf- iclcnt quantity of the product could be secured. a good traGic in sharks, hair sonls, popoiscs and other pro ducts of the sea that heretofore have gone to waste could be devcl- cpcd.

Spring Motoring

The choo-choo season has ar
rived, the roads are good, the
fields are green; I'm thankful that
l have survived to burn a lot
more gasoline. The winter, cold
and long and drear, killed off a
lot of jays and rubes; how glad
am 1 that I'm still here, to blow
! myself for inner tubes! Some
times l thought, when tempests
shrieked, l wouldn't live to see
the spring, for rheumatism
through me streaked, and
wrenched my joints like every
thing. When Billiards, whooping
down from Nome, were brawling
angrily and loud, I called morris
clans to my home, to figure on a
bier ard shroud. But / hung on
through sleet and snow, the lamp
of life maintained its fame, and,
now that springtime breezes blow,
you'll see me in the motor game.
I'll buy some bonds to save the
boons inherited from martial sires !;
I'll spend some bones for bread
and prunes, and blow some more
for rubber tires. I've cut out rich
cigars and wines, and made a
simple bill of fare; I'll need my
change to pay my fines for bust
ing speed laws here and there.
I'll blow a portion of long green
to help the Red Cross work, that's
blest; the bulk will go for gaso-
line-mechanics then will get the
rest. \ WALT MASON.
