There lie more Catarrh in this section
of the country that all other diseases put
together, and for years it was supposed to
be incurable. Doctors prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,

Says That It Is the Most Practical Plan for Con- serving the Salmon
 of Alaska.
HIS VIEWS ON SUBJECT
Believes That Saving of the Salmon Is One of Most
 Vital Questions Be-
 fore Alaska Today.
(Ry A. J. SPRAGUE.l

Some years ago the idea of utiliz- ing one species of insects to fight an other for the purpose of protecting plants, orchards, cotton, and sugar cane plantations, from exterminaton from the long purple scale and other parasites, engaged the attention Of scientific agriculturist and horticul turist and entomologists the world over. An intense battle began for supremacy over the bug pests. In the long-drawn contest the fighting (insects with insects) bug has won out, but not until many erronous and harmful ideas were scattered abroad. Marked success was only obtained through many disappointments.
 In perpetuation of the salmon in- dustry of Alaska or the world, for that matter. the attention of the Am erican and Canadian governments has been attracted, and the question has become of vital importance to the cannerymen and fishermen and fish culturists on this side of the ocean. It is today such big question, that it is beyond solution at the present time. We'll may they who are en- gagged in the industry wonder where they will go from here in a short time Some don't care. Alaska has, in deed, been good to them; they have had the getting while the getting was good Can we all look at this most important and vital question from this light? All the legislation we have had, has been, get the fish not save the fish for future food supply.
 Now what has the Alaska Fish and Game Club accomplished? It lives. nobody knows just how, but it has successfully demonstrated one | fact-you can successfully flight fish with fish" If salmon are properly matured and given the most natural conditions, they will be large enough to eat up the salmon trout, instead of being themselves eaten. Few of the 475 members of the Alaska Fish and Game Club I dare say have ever given this one subject any thought "fish against fish"-as being one of the solutions of this vital subject.
 We all agree that the Dolly Var den or salmon trout destroys not only the eggs, but the young salmon. We must find an equipibrum basis, for nature has never given to any form of life the power to destroy without placing limit to it's powers of destruction.
 It is impossible for out hatcheries to remember the present conditions. This fact has been proved by the ex- isting conditions on the Fraser river. It is fished out regardless of the hatcheries on the river. The best than can be said for any hatchery is that it can and will be an incubator only.

 Notice is hereby given that an Ordi- nance to make the wearing of inf1u- enza masks compulsory and provid ing a fine of $2100 for those not wearing the masks, was introduced at a Special Meeting of the Con- mon Council Wednesday night, Nov. 18th, 1918, and will again be brought up for final passage Fri day night, Nov. 18th, 1918. This was prepared and intro duced at the special request of Dr. L. O. Sloane, City Health Officer and Governor Thomas Riggs, ,Jr, in order that the epidemic of influenza now raging ir our mist may be stamped out without the further loss of life, and the general public is earnestly requested to wear the masks upon our streets and in all public places. This is a duty you owe not only to yourself, but to your fellow citizen, for is not the saving of one human life recOm- pense enough for the few days of discomfort that the wearing of the masks may cause? Show that Ju- neau spirit, wear your mask for g few days so that we may again oper our schools and our commercial ac- tivity may become normal once more.

TEUTON STATE BANK IS VICTIM OF A
 PECULIAR FRAUD

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Prus- sian state bank in Berlin has been the victim of singular fraud, say German newspapers. A foreign com mercial house transmitted to the bank the sum of 600,000 marks to be credited to the account of for eign bank. The letter referring to the transaction was intercepted and forged letter was substituted in which the bank was directed to de- posit the sum to the credit of a Berlin metal firm.
 Two days later the metal firm drew the amount in cash. The fraud was discovered some time later when the foreign bank desired to make use of the money. It was then discovered that the metal firm was not in existence.
