SHARPE RETURNS WITT! H|S MAN
Brings the Man and The "Makings" of Real High
 Explosives

At an early hour yesterday morning the United States submarine chaser BIO was seen slipping oIt of port south bound. Aboard, unknown to any of Ketchikan's residents were Deputy Sharpe and Assistant District Attor- ney Ragan. Nothing could be learned from them as to what they were up to. This morning they returned ana gave out the reason for their mysteri ous departure in the following.
 It had been reported that an enemy alien was located at Hyder, a few miles below Stewart, B. C., on Portland Can al. Immediately the federal authOrit- ies proceeded to investigate with the result that they brought one Albert Linke, German, quite well known hereabouts. Deputy Sharpe reports that he found considerable literature on the art of bomb and other explos- i've making together with materials in Linke's place. He found poison ir good quantity, caps, fuses, and other things. He was locked up and will be interned says Deputy Sharpe.
 Along on the trip with the local fed eral officials, were a Canadian official who was also looking for slackers or other undesirable citizens. His trip was not in vain, however, as he found four slackers on the American side of the line, but little diplomacy on the part of the American officials, the men crossed the line and were nabbed.
 Deputy Sharpe believes they are we'll on their way to the front by this time. Two of them claimed exemp- tion giving as their reason that they were Swedes. A few questions put in by the Canadian officials revealed the fact that they had been in the country several years. That official would ac- cept no excuse and ordered them aboard power boat he had stationed there for the purpose and left for Prince Rupert.
 On the trip, the officials found fresh made liquor. The still was dumped on the floor of the cabin.
 Things look good in that part of the country, said Deputy Sharpe today, and every indication for bright fu- ture is evidenced A good mining proposition was made recently that promises well, he says.

ONE YANKEE EQUAL TO SIX HUNS IN
 OPEN CLASH

CHICAGO. July S.-Sergt Sam P. Barr, 30 years in the United States army and just returned from France after five months service with the ex- peditionary forces, is in Chicago today. Speaking of his experiences he said:
 Our method of fighting differ from those of our allies. They retreat from the thinly held first line trenches when
 a heavy barage announces an attack. When the enemy has wasted his am intuition and has taken the allied first trench the allies rush in from sec ond in counter attack. We asked ourselves: Why go back then ahead through the barrage?" So we decided we'd go ahead, under the barrage, and wait for them at the barbed wire. In our fights we met the Germans long before they expected us, killed lot of them and scattered the remainder in the barbed wire. Then we went back and sat down while the machine gun moved them down in the wire. There is no way to beat this method of fight ing.
 ''In a clear field the American can whip the German up to five or six times his number The German is well trained and fights hard, but he does only that he is told. When he reaches his objective he doesn't know where to g0 from there. So we catch him at that point-and he doesn't go from there until the grave section comes along "-Chicago Examiner.

TERRITORY OF ALASKA Governors Office
 Juneau

To The Press:
 The Governors office is in receipt of the following letter from the Secre. tary of Commerce, which is of interest. My Dear Governor:
 was very glad indeed to have your letter of the fourth instant and and am led by it to write you concern. ing such of the plans of this Depart. ment for work in Alaska as can at this time be formulated.
 It will doubtless be well to begin by saying that, in view of your interest in the work of demonstrating to the people of Alaska the best methods of curing and packing and otherwise pre- pairing for market the invaluable fish food resources of that Territory, we have determined to double the num- Der of expert demonstrators from the Bureau of Fisheries, sending four in- stead of two.
 Deeds speak louder than words and the earnest wish of the Department of Commerce to assist Alaska rests upon definite performance in the present and the past rather than upon promises for the future.
 Three of the maritime services of this Department affect Alaska-the Lighthouse Service, the Coast and Geo detic Survey and the Bureau of Fish cries. The equipment of these ser vices has long been inadequate for the important and growing work that AL aska requires. Therefore, in each of the three, new vessels have been spec ially designed for the Alaskan service and constructed or else have have been purchased so that in each of these three lines of effort the best ships the Department has throughout the entire United States States are those either stationed in or specially intended for the work in Alaska. In the Fisheries Services the Lighthouse steamer Cedar is the largest we have. The new surveying steamer Surveyor specially designed for work upon the Alaskan coast will be sent there as soon as the exigencies of war relax SO that she can be spared from the Navy. In like manner the steamer Roosevelt of the Fisheries Service, specially constructed for ice conditions is not peculiarly fitted for Alaskan work, but has proved that fitness within recent weeks by the rescue of the ice-bound ships and crews in Bris- tol Bay, in which single operation she more than paid her entire cost and maintenance up to date.
 While on this par. cular theme 1t should be added that appropriations have just been made providing power lighter for use between Alaskan points and the seal islands in the Fisheries Service: for small, new steamer to take the place of the Taku for survey ing in Alaskan waters and for wire drag launches for the Coast and Csc detic Survey. tho first step toward au adequate provision of those important little vessels to do in tho best and most rapid way that kind of surveying Of
 which the coast stands in particular need.
 At the same time provision Is made for extending the seacoast lights in Alaska and hope before this letter reaches you to learn that Congress has provided fund of $90.000 for con- structing at Ketchikan modern light house depot; adequate for tho home

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM SECRETARY
 REDFIElD TO OUR GOVERNOR OF REGENT DATE

station of that service for the entire Alaskan coast. I took pleasure ln per. sonally appearing before the Senate Committee and asking that this matter be expedited.
 1 have recently caused inquiries to be made in Ketchikan as to whether the wooden steam lighter for the Fish cries Service could be built at some Alaskan point and regret to find that there seems no yard adequate for the purpose. Let me suggest that a good boat building yard would seem to have an excellent opportunity at some Alas. kan port. There is, take it, abun. dant material and the amount of labor would not be large. If such a yard existed now, we could give it an op- portunity to bid upon four small wood en vessels, and this is, 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. l Furthermore, there are SO many fishing vessels of. moderate size along the Alaskan shore that there must be i 1t would seem that a moderate sized yard could keep busy pretty steadily. On the other hand it would greatly facilitate the fisheries work in Alas i ka if the fishermen were able to get boat repairs and possibly minor re- i pairs on vessels made promptly. A small ship railway would be valu- able addition. We would willingly encourage such yard by giving it such business as we had.
 As you know, the Steamboat Inspec- ton Service district in which Alaska is included covers also teh entire Pa cifc coast of the Continental United States, and Hawaii as well, with head quarters at San Francisco. This is an impossible situation which we have long striven to change. Legis- lation is now pending at our request which will put California and Hawii into one district and establish new one with headquarters at Portland or Seattle to include Alaska. The result will be much closer supervision over matters within the review of 1his Ser vice 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 so that spawning salmon may find their way upward and young salmon may pass downward. By dynamiting Instructions a consid. erable number of streams now alto gether or partly devoid of salmon runs may be made suitable for particular species and the production of salmon in certain regions can be thereby ma terially increased.
 The Bureau of Fisheries is now in position to carry out for the first time the special patrol of salmon streams. . matter which has been advocated from t1me to time by people ip Alas ka. This year about twenty Of the principal streams will be under tho constant supervision of watchmen to see that the fishery laws are enforced and to report on fishery conditions. Each of these patrols will have mo tor boat and the service will. If 1t proves satisfactory this season, be extended and made permanent.
