He Declares That It Is En- toying One of the Most Prosperous Seasons
 of It's Existence.
P L ANT IS BUILDING
Standard Oil Company Is Constructing. Buildings for Large Distribut-
 ing Plant.

The town of Petersburg is now enjoying one of the most prosper ous periods of it's history, according to M. s. Perkins who has just re- turned from there, and who arrived this morning on the Admiral Farra- gut. Mr Perkins has been there for the past several days on personal business.
 The Standard Oil Company is now constructing large distributing plant just west of tho town on the Narrows and will at all times have a plentiful supply of oil on hand af- ter the completion of the plant to supply all the needs of the big fish ing fleet which are now making their headquarters at Petersburg.
 Several new buildings are being erected, including a large business block on the main street and an ad- dition to the warehouse space of the Petersburg Packing Company is be- ing made. The Standard Oil plant will be on the order of the one at Juneau and will consist of three
 
 large tanks and dock
 At the present time it is some- what difficult to keep sufficient oil on hand to supply the demand, but following the completion of the plant there will be no more difficulty. The big ice plant and cold storage es- tablishment at Scow Bay being erect ed by the Glacier Fishing Company is rapidly nearing completion and the ice plant was started recently so the fishing boats now are able to secure plentiful supply of ice at all times and will soon be able to dispose of their fish at that point without diff ficulty.
 '"rhe boat on the Chatham Straits mail run will soon be in operation. and then the entire section there will be directly tributary to the town. Petersburg is now on the up. hill road and will soon be known as one of the livliest towns on the Southeastern run," said MT. Perkins this morning.

GREAT WHALE IS CAPTURED IN
 THAMES RIVER

LONDON, June 22.-The capture of real whale eighteen feet long and weighing half a ton, in the River Thames just above the Par lament Buildings, constitutes some thing new in London riverside his tory
 Splashing and floundering in shallow water about 100 yards from the Battersea Bridge. the young whale quickly attracted at tention It had failed to take ad- vantage of the ebb tide and was trapped on the foreshore, It was killed with a boat hook and a small party of boatmen raised it by means of crane to a wharf where it was measured and weighed.
 Under strict interpretation of the British law, the whale might have been commandeered by the au- thorities as the property of the crown. Any whale captured in Brit ish waters constitutes a Royal per quisite. The tail according to law. would belong to Queen Mary and the head to King George. It is gen erally believed that this partition was originally decided upon in or der that the queen should always have a stock of whalebone, but the founder of this act of courtesy made the error of giving her the wrong half.
 The sturgeon also can be claimed as Royal perquisite, and this right has been exercised in recent times. A sturgeon caught in the Thames was served at Queen Vic toria's wedding banquet, and few years ago Welshman captured one in a Welsh harbor complied with the dictates of loyalty by sending it to King George.

GERMAN AIR PROTEST LATE
aBerlin Plea Recalls Raids on Open
Towns and Hospitals in France
and England.

Washington, Nov 6.-Action of the
German military forces in the past in
conducting air raids on defenseless
towns in France, Belgium and England
and on hospitals preclude. in the opin-
ion of military and diplomatic observ-
ers here, the giving of any serious at
tention to a protest made from Berlin
against the aerial operations of the
allies armies. The plea for cessation
of the raids on German towns, deliv-
cred to the state department Monday
through the Swiss legation, declares
that since October 1 German air forces
have been under orders to operate only
against military objects. Should SINH
lar directions not be issued by the
allies the German government declares
it reserves the right to renew its aerial
attacks on territory behind the allies
lines.
