Washington, Sept. 20.-Prcsident
Wilson will fix the price of cotton,
placing the last OF the principal com
modiIics necessary in the prosecution
of the war, under government rc&uia-
ton, despite strong pressure from the
Southern States. In addition 10 de" |
tcrmning the price the government
will take over control Of distribu-

The decision Of the president deli
nitely announced at a conference this
week with senator's and representa-
tivcs from the cotton Safes, became
known today. Plans to carry out the
decision arc said to be under way.
Agitation for the fixing of price
for cotton had been prevalent for
number Of months owing TO the rapid
" mounting cost Of cotton products
and the bClci in many quarters that
the staple should be placed on the
same basis as wheat and other essen
tials. the price Of which has been fixed.

DEPREDAT|ONS IF BIRDS CAUSE:
 FISHERIESL LOSS

The following article, prepared and chairman, was read and approved at a recent meeting of the Alaska terri torial council of national defense, and it was directed that the council of na- tiOnal defense be requested to lend it's aid in procuring the enactment of a law carrying into effect the recommen- dations contained in the article:
 The time seems opportune for again calling the attention of the public au- thorities to the vast destruction of hu- man food caused by the swarms of wild predatory birds which prey on fish and fish eggs near our shores.
 Alaska has a coast line of some twenty-five thousand. miles, ninety per cent of which borders on waters teem- ing with valuable food fishes while the fishing banks of the adjoining oceans are not equalled as fishing grounds in any part of the world. Yet %AAO eoOf SA AhLllS1t LII tAAC ChAICo 0teIICo is sedulously protecting from molesta- tiOn 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 overstocking of the ocean, these fowls undoubtedly served at one time a 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 enemies of man as well, and allies of the U.boat
 The fishes in which we are special ly interested at the present time are herring and salmon. Let us consider the effect of these birds on these species:
 Practically every female herring spawns some thirty thousand eggs in 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 po- tential capacity of sixty barrels of herring. Assuming that a gull con. sumes two hundred thousand eggs per day-which is probably very low estimate, it destroys during the spawn ing season of two weeks, herring eggs of a potential capacity of five thou sand six hundred barrels Scotch cured
The Cordova daily times., 1918-02-19

herring. In other words, one gull de stroys more herring in two weeks than the average seine crew destroys in a season.
 Nor are the gulls 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 Alaskan coast line there are certainly millions of billions of them. They live almost exclusively on fish, fish eggs and fish fry
 MT Ernest P. Walker, inspector in the service of the bureau of fisheries, after an investigation of this subject on the herring spawning grounds of southeastern Alaska, reported that about fifty per cent of the herring eggs were laid above low water mark Of these, fully ninety-five per cent were consumed by the gulls, and that of the fifty per cent laid below low water mark, fully nine-five per cent were consumed by ducks of different species.
 "The most destructive of the en- emies of the herring" reports MT. Walker, "are the myriad of water fowls of the region. As the time of spawning approaches and the herring schools up in the vicinity of their grounds, these winged hordes congre. gate in the vicinity in vast flocks, best described as clouds of birds, and remain there the entire time that the herring are about.
 From the time the fish first appear in the region, usually early in the win ter, the birds begin to collect. During this time they feed on the adult her ring, and by the time the herring are ready to spawn many of the migratory birds have arrived to augment the block. They prey on these fish from daylight until dark for the entire time 1iAu pI pIdCIlCd1Ay WlIuOuI cessation, often becoming so gorged as to be un- able to fly; but as soon as the food becomes somewhat digested they are filling themselves again. When they are gorging themselves it is a com mon sight to see a gull take half a dozen adult herring in as many min utes.
 During the spawning season, these vast voracious swarms feed almost ex- clusively on the eggs of the herring. At Craig nineteen birds were killed and their stomachs examined to ascer- tain their contents. Of these there were only three not gorged to their ut most capacity with eggs from the crop ] of the pylorus, and usually even the mouth was full to overflowing." MT. Walkers statements as to the destructive capacity of these enemies of the herring are not exaggerated, but lare rather conservative. The fact that
The Cordova daily times., 1918-02-19

the herring schools do not increase but rather diminish, proves that nc more than two eggs from each female herring suryiye-that only two eggs ot each thirty thousand eggs escape these enemies against whom we have it largely in our power to protect them.
 Attention is frequently called to the inroads into the supply of herring caused by the natives who, during each spawning season, gather and dry tons of herring eggs for food That by this agency a great many hundreds of thousands of barrels of herring are destroyed is undOubted, but the amount thus destroyed by the natives, when compared with the amount de- stroyed by the birds is infinitesimal, and it would seem a travesty to pro- hibit the natives from using herring eggs for food, while we permit the use less birds to carry on their devasta- tions not only unabated but under pro- lection.
 The seining of herring during and immediately prior to spawning is also a useless waste of fish and should be discontinued, but this feature too is of minor importance as compared with the depletion caused by the birds.
 The salmon does not fare much bet ter than the herring. Each female spawns from three to four thousand eggs. When the salmon schools do not increase, it proves that only an aver age of two eggs out of each lot of three thousand or four thousand attain ma. turity.
 During and after spawning season one may go up almost any salmon stream and observe 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 found 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 we'll filled with the fry. While the trout may be 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 depredations of the trout will be much less noticeable. There can be no doubt but that the destruction of the predatory birds would increase 1 the salmon hatch very much more than any number of artificial hatcheries that could be established, and would cost far less. It is probably safe to assert that all the hatcheries in Alas ka do not mature as many salmon as are destroyed by small flock of gulls or ducks.
 This subject was given a cursory ex' animation, so far as salmon was con- cerned, by pr. E. Lester Jones, then

SMALL BOY NEARLY
LOSES LIFE IN RIVER
Jack Boynton Saved by Only
Quick Work of Millard
Kennedy.

Ten-year-old Jack Boynton, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Boyuton. of 1902
East Court street, narrowly escaped
drowning about $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when he attempted
to swim in about IL feet of water,
and went to the bottom. He was res
cued BY Millard Kennedy, 12-year-
old son of c. f. Kennedy, who
brought all of his Boy Scout knowl-
edge to aid, and grasped Jack by the
hair
The younger boy strangled and
caught Millard around the neck, so
that both might have gone down had
II not been for the fact that a third
boy Ellis simpson. was dressing on
the bank and stuck out his foot for
Millard to catch onto. This the boy
did and succeeded in getting himself
and Jack on the bank. Jack was
gotten home and was i'll most of the
night. but is nearly all right again
this morning.
The accident happened where the
Byers millraCe comes into the river.
A number OF boys We're in the water,
among them Jack. who could not
swim. but who had been getting along
fine with water wings. lie took the
wings off after awhile thinking he
would he able to swim without them
but was unable TO keep afloat.
Those who saw the rescue say that
Mnlard acted splendidly and most
certainly saved the life Of the young
er boy.

seventeen and one-half days after her
keel was laid. The nearest approach
to this record was the launching of a
s3S-foot cargo vessel by the New
York Shipbuilding company Of Cam
den. N. j., in twenty-seven days. The
record was accomplished as the re-
suit of new system Of co-ordinated
effort, 400 men being engaged night
and day in bringing the vessel to n
state of 50 per cent completion. II is
hoped that the vessel will be complot-
ed within a month ofsthe date when

This is the motto placed before the
American soldiers in France and the
soldiers believe in the motto and ad-
here strictly to its teachings. This is
why there is so little information con-
tanned in the letters received from
the soldier boy in France. This is
why so few of the letters written by
the soldiers boys show the marks of
