The inhabitants of the coast from Bristol Bay to Kotzebue are getting in- terested in the salmon and the pro- ducuve possibilities of developing the salmon packing industry.
 Let no laws be passed which will restrict independant fishing.
 Several natives are working on a Ignite vein twelve miles to the South ward of here. Oscar Hull has enga ged to haul some of it to St Michaels, as that port is rather short of coal ct the present time. The coal 1t has is also of very inferior grade.
 Eleven hundred pounds of mail is now leaving Kaltag every Saturday for Uualakleet and the mail carriers on the double run are making their last trips of the season. The trails are now like boulevams and the scent of young spring is in the air; soon will be here the honk of the geese and the chug- chug of the gasoline engine and our winter troubles will again be forgot ten for a while.

ing season the bulls never taste food. Early in August the bulls take their departure. The rest of the colony soon follow and by November they have all gone.
 For the next six to nine months the seals never set foot on land, but swim about the Pacific Ocean, feeding and turning their fat into muscle.
 Seals live from twelve to fourteen years. The cows produce one pup each season. beginning to breed when two years old. The bulls are not ma turc until their sixth or seventh year. In their first two years the bachelors associate with the pups; after that they occupy shore quarters adjacent to the harems, until in their sixth or seventh year they begin to establish harems of their own.

Cnalaklset, April l4, 1913

Cn2lakleet, Aprll II, 1SlS Nugget.
 Tn your issue of March Soth was an article calling attention to the bill in troduced by Sulzer apparently for the purpose of giving to the Fish Trusts. their heirs, descendants, etc, etc, a monopoly of the fishing industry of Alaska.
 The Fish Trust Is probably insistent and Sulzer Is evidently made of more pliable material than his predecessor in Congress.
 A bill for a similar purpose was in- troduced by Mir Carlin of Virginia in the last Congress and was furthered by the Deputy Commissioner of Fisher ies. Naturally, it's real purpose was hidden under the all embracing con servation" of Alaska fisheries but was fully explained by Mr Wickersham in hls evidences given before the Con- gressional committee.
 The value of the Alaska salmon in dustry is but slightly less than the

sEALs-oREATEsr TREASURE

"Of all the treasures in Alaska the seals are probably among the most valuable" writes Prof c. H. Parker of Harvard in the Scientific Monthly. Unlike mineral wealth, they need never run out, for. in consequence of their powers of reproduction, they can yield under reasonable control a large and continuous revenue for an in- definite future"
 The great seal rookeries are on St George and St Paul Islands in Boring Sea. There are probably about e third of million there now. The ter anthology Hsed In describing them is incoagruous. Full grown male fu" seals are called bulls and the mature females cows. Their offsprings are known as pups. The young males are termed bachelors. A bull with his as- semblage of cows is called 0 harem, and a succession of harems on beach constitutes rookery.'
 The bulls begin to arrive at the rookeries in May and June The COWS arrive In June, July and as late as August. Each bull collects harem of from one to 100 cows, the average be- ing about sixty. A day or so after coming ashore each COW gives birth to a single pup. The harems begin to disintegrate in August. During

 To permit any monopoly of one of our greatest national resources is 0 crime. Not alone against the people of Alaska but against generations of Americans yet unborn. 4 protest voiced by all Alaskans supplemented by the voice of the people of the States should ring so loud against permitting them to become the object of trust exploitation that the agents Of the Fish Trust in Washington and else where would hide through fear of the peoples wrath.
 The writer well remembers from boyhood days the laws in vogue in European waters for the preservation of the solmon. But too late were the enactments made. for the salmon are a

season was played Friday afternoon
between a team composed Of freshmen
and sophomores and team of JUNIORS
and seniors. The score resulting was
Is to in favor of the Juniors and
seniors. This first game was really
just tryout game, but nevertheless

ers pitched for the freshmen-soph
mores.
A special assembly was held Monday
morning, when Prof. j. H. Ackerman,
of Monmouth Normal School, spoke to
the pupils. He took as the theme of
his talk, why are We Here?" Be-
cause of his straighforwardncss of
manner, quick wit, and the directness
of his appeal, he held the attention of
the pupils throughout his entire
address.
At $50 the Teachers Association
met at the Coe building. Prof. Acker-
man spoke on present Tendencies in

Now that ii is about time to plant
potatoes it would be well to bear in
mind that the seed should be dipped

tato diseases which demand atten
ton These are potato scab and

tons several other diseases which
have threatened the potato indus
try Precautions taken through pro
per dipping will, III a large measure,
keep out these other troubles The
most effective dip that can be used
is that of corrosive suhlimate (bich-
loride of mercury used at the rate
of four ounces to 80 gallons of water.
The seed should be dipped whole
and allowed to remain in the solu-
ton one and one-half hours 1t is

more than three or four times.
Where large amount of seed is

tees in loose in order to take up all
available space. The liquid can
then be drained off and applied to
another barrel filled with potatoes
In so doing the maximum number Ul
potatoes can be treated with each
