Mir Sulzcr's bin shows that it was given pro. found study for the reason that it covers thc ground in detail and is just what Alas ka has wanted and needed for the past dozen years or more. The passage of tho bin should be earnestly advocated by all Alaskaus as 1t will do more to advance tho permanent interests and welfare of tho Territory than any measure ever yet in- troduccd. The completeness of the bill is tribute to Mr. Sulzcr in that it proves his knowledge of the needs of the constit- ucucv Inc SO ably represents.

tv-fve thousand miles, ninety per cent. of which borders on waters teeming with val uable food fishes while the fishing banks of the adjoining oceans are not equalled as fishing grounds in any part of the world. Yet the government of the United States is seduously protecting from molestation untold billions of sea fowls whose only mission in life is to destroy the food fishes now so sadly needed to feed humanity. For the purpose of preventing the overstock- ing of the ocean, these fowls undoubtedly served at one time good purpose in the economic scheme of nature, but now that the sea food is needed by man, the natural enemies of the fish have become the enc mics of man as well, and the allies of the U-boat.
 "Thc fishes in which we are specially interested at the present time are herring and salmon. Let us consider the effect of these birds on these species;
 "Practicaly every female herring spawns some thirty thousand eggs a year. A gull. or other sea fowl, will eat several times that many eggs in a day. Assuming that all eggs might, if protected, be brought to maturity, the spawn from one herring has a potential capacity of sixty barrels of herring. Assuming that gull consumes two hundred thousand eggs per day which is probably a low estimate, it de- stroys during the spawning season of two weeks, herring eggs of a potential capacity of five thousand six hundred barrels Scotch cured herring. In other words, one gull destroys more herring in two weeks than the average seine crew destroys in a sea- son.
 Nor are the guus alone in this work They are assisted by a large variety of other species of birds. The number of these agents of destruction is incalculable. but along the Alaska coast line there are cer- tamly millions of billions of them. They live almost exclusively on fish, fish eggs and fish fry.
 "Thc salmon does not fare much better than the herring. Each female spawns from three to four thousand eggs. When
 hc salmon schools do not increase, it proves that only am average of two eggs put of each lot of three thousand or four thousand attain their maturity.
 During the after spawning season one may go up almost any salmon stream and observe the gulls and ducks standing on their heads in the water digging salmon eggs out of the sand. Kill some of them and cut them open and their crops will be filled with salmon eggs. Kill one of these birds at the mouth of the salmon stream when the young salmon are going out and their crops will be found well filled with the fry. While the trout may be a worse enemy of the young salmon than are the birds, destruction of the latter will so con Siderably augment the escape of fry that the deprcdations of the trout will be much less noticeable There can be no doubt but that the destruction of the predatory birds would increase the salmon hatch very much more than any number of artificial latchcrics that could be established and would cost far less. It is probably safe to assert that all the hatcheries in Alaska To not mature as many salmon as are de-
 destroyed by a small flock of gulls or ducks. "

 Neither the Local Board nor the Adjutant General of the State. can locate these men without the assistance of the civilian population. There fore, in order that the selective service law be made effectual, earnestly request that every citizen of the County read this list carefully and give the Board the benefit of any information that will lead to the present whereabouts of these men. Especially do we call on the registered men of the County to exert their personal efforts to the end that "slackerism" and other methods of evading the draft law be avoided. The location of these men may be the means of preventing other men being called into the service. The Local Board, as we'll as the army officials, are anxious that the rules and regulations regarding delinquents be strictly enforced and do if the civilian popu aton will join in an earnest effort to bring all de- nquents before the Board.

THE MEANING OF
GOODS AND SERVICE

When it is said that in the present
financial year the Government is to
spend aspeciied amount Of money,
what is meant is that the Government
must have, for the purposes of war,
goods and services valued at that
amount TIE goods are the supplies
required in the shape of ships, shells,
guns, rifles, motors, horses. saddlery,
clothes and food for the soldiers and
sailors. The services are the services
rendered by the fighting men and all
who supply the various requirements Of
the Army and Navy.
And, if the Government is to have,
in the enormous volume required, the
goods and services that need to be pro-
Vided now, civilians who cannot fight
must go without many of the goods
and services they used to enjoy in
times of peace. This is Inevitable,
for there is not enough available energy
and labor in the country to produce all
that is required for the war, and also
to provide the comforts and Injuries
we used to enjoy when there was no
war.
In short, the needs Of the nation for
the purposes of war cannot be net un-
less we save, and save by going with
out the things That are not absolutely
essential to he efficiency and health of
the individual.
