RETAIL PRICE
 OF FISH FIXED

Juneau, June 5.-Because of the abnormal retail prices of ell kinds of fresh fish in the Alaska markets, the subject has been investigated by the Food Administration and it has determined that to cover shrinkage, handling charges, etc, and req sonable profit the wholesaler in addition to the actual amount paid by him for tthe particular fish may charge not to eXceed Sc per ID. on halibut, salmon, black coc red snapper, gray cod, ling cod and bass. .
 2Ihc per ID. on herring and trout
 The retailer may charge in addi- tion to the actual amount paid by him for the particular fish not to exceed
 Sc per lb. on halibut.
 5c Der lb. on salmon. 71aC per lb. on black cod. 1Oc. OCT lb- on skinned and dressed
 red snapper. Sc per lb, on unSkinned and nn-
 dressed red snapper.
 Any sale of fresh fish for a greater increase over the actual price paid for the particular fish by the seller will be deemed to give the seller an unreasonable profit and will subject him to investiga- tion by the Food Administration.

ID DEVELOP OIL PROPERTY ON 4
 LARGE SCALE

The St. Elias on Company. of Katalla has leased all its holdings for a term of years to the Chilkat 0n Company, a new corporation recently organized under the laws oi Delaware. The new company took over the management on May 1, a.s will proceeds to develop the pro- perty on larger scale.
 Drilling Is proceeding, new der ricks are being erected, and the new company expects to spend S1OO, ,OOO within the next year or twd in making 8 thorough test of the ground.
 Practically the same officers con trol the affairs of the new company that directed the activities of the olG. The new organization was made necessary in order to secure addltionla' capital and meet the peculiar requirements of the oil lea'ing bill.
 Falcon Joslin, president of the St. Elias Oil Company, together with Eastern associates, perfected the new organization, and he, with the ass stance of George c. HaZelet, will direct the affairs of the company at this end.
 A scOwload of new casing tools and equipment arrived on the last boat and was taken to Katalla by the launch Waif last Saturday.
 Mir. Hazelet has recently returned from Katalla and reports all work progressing satisfactorily. MT. Jos lin is expected North soon. In speak ing of the oil-leasing bill Mir. Ha2- elet said its provisions were uHcer- tain and indefinite, and in fact it is not knwon Yhat effect tthey may have upon the industry. He said that the chances were the old claimants would have the preferred r rht to lease the property they have held and done work Onn for the past number of years. He says that so far as he knows the sit nation of the coal is as it has been for a number of years. There seems to be a disposition up on the part of the secretary of the inter CT not to allow the Bering field open until it has been demonstrat- ed what can De done with the Mat anuska field, this, of course. in the interest of the government rail road. In the meantime We can get our coal from British Columbia. - COrdOva Times.

OF INTEREST TO BRATTLEBoRo.
One of viereck's Agents Was Held There
Temporarily.

Brattlehoro, July 30.-The inyestiga-
ton into the pro-German activities Of
George Sylvester Viereck, now going on
in New York, is of local interest by
reason of the fact that Bernhart Bar
tells, who was arrested in Brattleboro
last December, was an agent employed
by Viereck to collect funds under the
representation that the money was to
be used to finance the agricultural and
industrial labor relief bureau which
ViereclS claims was organized to help Sc
cure employment for enemy aliens.
Bartells was held on the technical
charge of not having his registration pa
pers, but when the matter was cleared
up he was released, it being demon
strated that he was United States citi-
zen although of pure German descent
and for some time resident of Berlin.
When arrested here Bsrtells had list
of local subscribers to Viereck's Weekly,
formerly the Fatherland
According to evidence collected by the
department of justice, Viereck secured
100000 for his own use from pro-Ger-
mans all over the country who believed
they were contributing to the improve
ment of the status of enemy aliens. Ae-
cording TO statement issued Saturday
by Alfred l.. Becker, assistant attorney
general of the state of New York, Vier-
eek paid himself salary of $500 a
month and $500 worth Of advertising, in
Viereck's Weekly each week In these
two ways, Mr.. Becker declared, Viereck
apparently obtained personal possession
of virtually all the contributions Tran
scripts of his bank accounts are said TO
show that he bought through Hugo
Schmidt German war bonds and other
German securities 1t was Schmidt who
acted as agent for the German govern
ment in placing millions Of dollars in
