Wheat.-Reports from -four mills
throughout the Eastern states are to
the effect that the supply of wheat on
the farms has been heavily drawn upon
and that they are having difficulty in
securing supplies of grain for milling
purposes. In the Southwest similar
conditions prevail, and premiums are
being paid over the government price
tor cash wheat in number of leading
markets. Apparently the mills are still
drawing upon the country for supplies,
but many believe that by next spring
they Will have to rely on government
stocks to large extent to fill their
needs. Statistics show, however, that
there should still be large amoun. OF
wheat available in the Northwest
where, however, there has been a rush
during the last month to move wheat
over the lakes for winter storage
where it can be readily drawn upon for
export when needed.

fisheries Of great importance have
overshadowed others. Yet these more

food products and are the very ones
which have made other countries
prosperous. Particular stress is now
being laid, as you know, by the bu-
reau of fisheries OF the sailing OF
herring after the Scotch method and
the curing Of atka-fsh and others.
There can be no doubt that with
proper publicity and instruction the
Alaska. herring industry can be made
to rival that of Norway and Scotland
and this department is definitely CONF
mitted to the task of bringing this to
pass. We have undertaken a cam
paign to introduce into wider popular
use the valuable food fishes of Alaska
hitherto largely neglected. We re-
gard it as. certain that there will come
in time to be an economic importance
to these almost unused fish foods
which will greatly contribute to the

These are both in great demand and

in the past. A number of Alaskans
have been taken to the Seal Islands
for temporary employment during the
height of the present season.

BUYING GERMAN BONDS

Members Of the Busch family, 1t is stated. became
quite heavy investors in German bonds prior to the cn.
trance Of the United States into the war. Accepting the
Of members OF the family, and giving them
the benefit Of whatever doubt may exist. it appears that
these purchases were made in good faith for purposes Of
investment, and through a spirit Of %friendship for 4 ma
ton with which this country was at that time On terms
OF peace. The purchasers knew, Of course, that the mon

purchase Of munitions, for instance. and In other v.ys

the purpose. Let me suggest that a
good boat building yard would seem
to have an excellent opportunity at
some Alaskan port. There is, 1 take
of labor would not be large. If such
a yard existed now we could give it
an opportunity to bid upon four small
wooden vessels and this IL. I think,
likely to recur from time to time.
We shall ask congress for four more
launches in addition to the four now
granted and of these two more could
be built in Alaska.
Demand for Boat Repairs.
Furthermore, there are SO many
fishing vessels Of moderate size along
a steady demand for boat repairs and
It would seem that a moderate size
yard could keep busy pretty steadily.
On the other hand, it would greatly
facilitate the fisheries work in Alaska
If the fishermen e able to get boat
repairs and possibly minor repairs on
vessels made promptly. a small ship
railway would be a valuable addition.
We would willingly encourage such a
yard by giving 1t such business as we
had.
A you know, the steamboat in
spection service district in which
Alaska Is included covers also the
entire Pacific coast Of the continental
United States and Hawaii as we'll, with
headquarters at San francisco. This
IL an impossible situation which we
have long striven to change. Legisla-
ton is 10 pending at u request
which will put California and Hawaii
into one district and establish a new
one with headquarters at Portland or
Seattle t include Alaska. The result
will be a much closer supervision over
matters within The review Of this
service through the ability to give
more detailed care to the work Of the
local boards. at St. Michael and
Juneau.
Passing to matters Of future policy,
we intend to actively continue the
work Of improving the physical con-
dition Of streams go that spawning
salmon may pass downward. BY dy-
namiting instructions a considerable
number Of streams now altogether or
partly devoid Of salmon runs may be

from time to time by people in
Alaska. This year about twenty Of
the principal streams will be under
