SUBMARINES USED
 BY GERMANY TO GET
 WEATHER CONDITIONS

LONDON, April 18.-How do the German submarines obtain the aecu rate knowledge, which they are known to posses, of weather condi- tions in England, is often asked here. This knowledge is essential for them in their air raids, and captured docu- ments show that their meteorological reports are fairly complete, despite the fact that no publication of weath- CT data or forecasts is permitted in English newspapers.
 An English meteorological expert declares that the answer to the ques- tion is not through any system of spies and land wirelesses, but that the data is derived from observations taken by submarines.
 The important point for the Ger mans, he says, is to know the weath- CT conditions off the northwest coast of Ireland and he thinks that sub marine working at that place is de tailed to send weather reports to Germany by relays through the wire less apparatus working around the British Isles.

ALASKANS PREPARING
 FOR SUMMER WORK IN
 NORTHERN CAMPS

SEATTLE, Wash April 18.-Alas- ka soon will be shaking off the grip of winter and hundreds of residents of the North who have Wintered on the outside are either returning or else preparing to return to the Terri tory for the coming summer. As in other years, northbound boats leav- ing Seattle at this sime of the year are carrying large numbers of pas sengers and heavy freight cargoes
 There will be many Alaskans, though, who will not go north this year, assert pioneer northerners, who say they do not expect this years rush to be as great as those of oth CT years. High wages paid in the States" and the call for men in the vice, it is generally believed, will cut down the northbound passenger lists Labor shortage is feared in some parts of Alaska.
 Every year since the stampede days of 1898 thousands of men have gone north from Seattle in the spring They spent their summers working in Alaska and returned to the out side on the boats in the fall.
 High wages in the fish canning plants and mines attracted most oi the men. Of late years many have gone to work on the government railroad between Seward and Fair banks. Each year hundreds of them have taken the railroad of ''niushed' over the White Pass trail and taken boats down the Yukon river to Daw interior points.

FORMER MENACE TO SETTLERS
 PASSES AWAY
Bit of Indian History Re- called by the Death of "OId Poke of
 Utah.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 17.-Old Poke of Indian uprising fame has gone to the happy hunting grounds. His death on the Indian reservation in San Juan county, Utah. has just been announced infirmities from old age being the cause.
 By his death a menace to the white settlers in the region has been removed
 Old Poke was the father of Tse- Na-Cat, otherwise known as Everett Hatch. It was on Hatch's account that trouble with the Indians oc- cured three years ago.
 On July, 1914, Deputy United States Marshal David Thomas went down to San Juan County to serve warrant on Tse-NaGat, charging him with the murder of Mexican The In dians hid Tse-Na-Gat, defied the dep uty and threatened his life, with the result that he returned to Salt Lake City without his man. Emboldened by the apparent successful intimida tion of the officer, the Indians, under Old Poke, began depredations and committed raids on the ranches of white settlers.
 Affairs reached a climax in March, 1915, the situation becoming so ser ious that General Hugh l.. Scott, who was known for his tact with Indians. himself went among the In. dians and they delivered Tse- -Na-Gat to him.
 Deputies under United States Mar shal Aquila Nebeker also succeeded in rounding up at the same time the leaders of the gang who were sup posed to have spread terror among the whites in the district. These leaders included Old Poke, Old Pos ey, Jack Rabbit Soldier and others They were brought to Salt Lake City but upon promising to be "good In dians" were released to return home Tse-NaGat went to trial and was ac. quilted

commission which is to come to Se- attle April "A for hearings on Pu- get Sound, British Columbia and Alaska fisheries
 To Be Submitted to Subcommittee
 If the provincial and state fishing
 interests can agree on program ii
 will first be submitted to a sub
 committee headed by Dr. H. M Smith, commissioner of fisheries which will begin hearings in Vic toria April IT and later listen to fishing interests at Seattle and Portland. This subcommittee is ex- pected to prepare the way for the
 conference on April "A and those
 that will follow.
 State Fish Commissioner l.. H
 Darwin conferred yesterday with the Washington committee and
 urged some additional protection
 to the salmon industry. He called
 attention to the fact that in 1913 3,300 fishing licenses were issued while in 1917 the number had in- creased to 1900. Included in last years total are approximately 1,200 hook and line licenses. In 1913
 there were packed 100000 cases of sockeyes on Puget Sound and the total pack for the year was ap-
 proximately 2,700,000 cases. Last year the total pack for Puget Sound was 1,500,000 cases or more During the coming season Oar win predicted that the entire pack of Puget Sound would not exceed ,000 cases. These figures, he
 declared, indicated that there was no necessity for encouraging extra fishermen to take part in the catch ing of such a small number of sal mon.

PLAN PROPOSED TO CURTA|L TIE S0CKEyE SALMON
Increased Weekly Closed Period and Block Sys- tenn Are Plans
 Proposed.

Curtailment of sockeye fishing will be agreed upon by all branches of the salmon fishing industry, but there is little support of a proposed fOur-year complete closing period such as the fisheries experts of the educational institutions of the Pa cific Coast have recommended, says The Seattle Times. An increased weekly closed period with the intro duction of a block system, whereby time theoretically would be given for a school of fish to pass in thru the Straits and get beyond the fishing limits of the Fraser River is offered as a substitute for the four-year closed season.
 That seemed totbe the, concensus of opinion of a mass meeting rep resenting all classes engaged in the salmon industry which was held in Seattle recently. The meeting marked the close of a series of ses- sions during which voluminous tes- timony was taken from fishermen and canners to show the condition of the fishing industry on Puget Sound. At the gathering were trap men, purse sein boat operators, gill netters, packers and dealers.
 The testimony taken before the Seattle fishermen's committee will be gotten into shape for the use of the Washington Fisheries Associa- tion in conference with British Columbia fishermen and packers to be held in Vancouver, B. c. A joint committee, representing Brit ish Columbia and Washington, is preparing to submit a series of recommendations to the joint high

VANCOUVER, B. C., April IT. Coal deposits have been discovered in the northern Arctic regions by Vii hjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex- plorer who is now wintering in the frozen north, according to a letter he wrote to MT Johanson of the Geol ogical Survey of Ottawa, a copy Of which has been received here
 Stefansson, in the letter, told Of his plans to return to the outside world in the fall of 1918 and then go north again at the head of a new expedition in 1920 Stefansson has been exploring Arctic regions since 1913 when he was sent north by the Canadian government.
 q am afraid that by now my Are. tic work is the only work I am good for Stefansson wrote, "or at least ! am sTss fit for any other work It is my desire and my dream to con. tinue it. If we get home in the fall of 1918 l hope to come forth again in the spring of 1920 at the latest I have several alternate plans, one or another of which I hope to put through. Each of my plans contem plates a base from which journeys can be made and in the vicinity oi which detailed scientific work can be done by short excursions as well as by work at the base itself.
