Mrs. Richard Massey rose to her Zee.
yesterday near the end OF the session
~ the New York City federation CT
Womcn's Clubs in the Hotel Astor. and
hsr merciless eye roved over the other
5clegatcs whilo she denounced one of
their number as disloyal. She did not
mention her by name; the police, to
whom she had reported the incident
that she related, had advised her not to,
she said.

said Mrs Massey. deliberately and inn
pressivoly. and | saw one OF them IN

Mrs. Massey paused. There was y

moment o. buzzing comment. and she
concluded:

Massey'S brief peroratIon rose again.
Nearly half OF tho 500 delegates had
lef. the convention. but all OF those
who remained took an immediate and
active interest in the charge that had
been made. and several sought the floor
a. once with resolutions calling for

at the time all rose TO signify their
approval Of the measure. and It was
beyond question that no one opposed 1t
by rising. Later it was said that two
women had not voted either way.
When the resolution had been car
s.ed, Mrs. Ella O. Guiiford demanded
hat the name OF the offending men,

Regarding the Testing of the Validity of the Law For Saving the
 Fish Fry
CONDITIONS REVIEWED
The Funds Could Be Used To Good Advantage In Saving Much VaI-
 uabIe Fish

The following resolution was unan imously adopted at the meeting of the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Club at the meeting held re gently.
 Whereas, the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska during it's last session passed a measure known as the Fish Hatchery Bill, providing for fish hatcheries and for the pro tection and care of natural spawn ing grounds in the Territory of Al aska, and the creation of board of fish commissioners, making an ap propriation therefor and declaring an emergency which law was approved on May ', 1917 and is published in the Session Laws of Alaska as Chapter 75, and
 Whereas, acting under the provis ion of this law the Governor appoint ed three commissioners consisting of resident business men connected di rectly with the fishing industry and otherwise, which appointments hay ing been made nearly a year ago
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-03-16

This commission entering upon the discharge of it's duties was confront ed with condition based upon a sup posed technical invalidity of the law and to test the case began a friendly suit in the District Court of Division No. One. and
 Whereas, many months have elaps- ed without any apparent attempt to- ward the prosecution of that suit and the loss of this time has been directly inimical to the public inter- ests. Every year which goes by marks a further depletion of the fish supply and when that time is al lowed to elapse without an effort at replenishment many future years are lost. It is now believed that pro crastination should be discontinued and action be taken at once to bring this important question to an issue to determine if it is possible to pro ceed under the law The legislature appropriated the money for this pur- pose in apparent good faith after closely Investigating the necessity and it is believed that it should be used. As nothing practicable is be ing done at present, the necessity for means tending toward the ade- auate maintenance of the fisheries. by far the most valuable of the in dustries of the Territory, reaching the sum of fifty million dollars in the year 1917, is imminent, besides the extraordinary food demands of the country during the present world conflict also requires immediate ac' tion
 Therefore, be it resolved, that it is the duty of the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Club to call the at tention of the Territorial Board of Fish Commissioners and other inter ested parties to the existing condi- tions demanding that immediate ac tion be taken to determine the valid ity of the Hatcheries Law; that a committee consisting of three mem bers be appointed by the President to present these matters to the proper parties, and that it will i'm mediately proceed with the discharge of this duty.

As the company will be composed of over 100 men full quota of officers will be nee essary and former experience and fitness will be the only factors in considering the appointments.
 Drill nights for the organization will be chosen at the meeting to morrow. As some meeting will con flict with every night of the week it is expected that the two nights which will conflict the least will be chosen. It will be expected that ev. cry man attend every drill possible otherwise a sufficient excuse must be furnished. Every man will be required to attend at least four drills month and as the organiza. tion will come under military laws drilling at least that much will be compulsory.
 It is planned to secure a rifle range and every man during the summer is expected to spend enough time on the rifle range to qualify in the use of his gun and learn how to shoot ac- curately at long distances, If not already able to do so. Practice hikes Viii probably be taken during the summer months when the we tn CT per.-lits to keep the men in physi- cal shii, r. peIform any duties which may a'ise from time to lme
 Reports lave been circ,:la'+i to the effect that anyone joining the Home Guards would be unable to leave the district for three years This is not the case as at any time a member wishes to leave by apply ing to the officers a transfer to an other Home Guard company will be granted. if in another part of the Territory. Should the member be leaving the Territory discharge will

TO BE USED FOR
 A SUBSTITUTE
In Order to Relieve the Situation Regarding Flour Announces
 GunniSOn
IS TEMPORARY ORDER

To relieve in some degree the situation caused by the scarcity oi substitutes, the Federal Food Ad ministrator for Alaska, Judge Ray al A. Gunnison, announced this morning that, effective until fur l ther notice, potatoes, as such, may 1 be sold by dealers as substitute 1 for wheat flour, providing they constitute not more than one-hal of the substitutes required to be purchased and at the rate of fouI pounds for one pound of substi- | tutes.
 The temporary placing of pota, toes on the list of substitutes is owing to the fact that supplies of the various substitutes are limited | and the further fact. that potatoe: are plentiful at the present time A good quantity of the Alaska pro duct from the Matanuska section is available. Dealers wishing SUD- ply of them should bet in communi- cation with Mr. Andrew Christen- sen, District Food Administrator at Anchorage. The use of potatoes will result in the saving of wheat. For example, in the First and Third Divisions, under the fifty fifty plan in re sales wheat flour and substitutes, if dealer sells fit wounds Ga 49 ID. sack) of wheat flour, he must, of course at the same time sell fifty pounds of substitutes, and if the purchas- CT elects, he may buy potatoes fol a part of those substitutes, he may buy potatoes for not more than one-half of the substitutes required, which in relation to a fifty pound purchase of wheat flour is twenty five pounds and this twenty five pounds, or one-half o fthe quantity of substitutes, must be at the ratio of four pounds of potatoes for ev- cry pound of substitutes, making a total of 100 pounds of potatoes to be purchased in a transaction of the kind set forth. The remainder of the substitutes, twenty-five pounds,
 
 thorized substitutes as the purchas- CT chooses.
 The Federal Food Administra- tor for Alaska calls attention to the fact that potatoes are plentiful; they are a splendid food; excellent for your body and are delicious when well cooked They are good hody fuel. The furnish starch, which burns in your muscles to let you work, much as the gasoline burns in your automobile engine to make the car go. One medium sized potato gives you as much starch as two slices of bread. When you have potatoes for a meal you need less bread. Potatoes can save wheat. They give you salts like other vegetables. You need the salts to build and renew all the parts of your body and to keep in in order.

STATEMENT GIVEN
 OF OUTPUT OF THE
 CRANKY MINING co.

BOSTON-The production by the
 Granby Copper Co. of over 4,000,-
 900 pounds of copper per month in
 the winter months of December and
 January is a noteworthy achieve
 ment for this property. Ordinarily
 the cold weather severely curtails
 productive activities. The total out
 put in the two months referred to
 amounted to 8,300,000 pounds, which compares with 5,500,000
 pounds in the same two months a year ago-an increase of coz. These figures would seem to estab- fish the property on a production basis of 50,000,00o pounds of cop per per annum.
 During the year ended June 30 last the operating cost was 1924 cents per pound measured against a production of 41,800,000 pounds of copper. Advancing the estimat- ed cost today to IA + cents, Granby on a 23 F -cent metal market must be earning at the rate of $4,000,- 900 for the 150,000 shares of stock l after depreciation and interest on 1000 bonds. These earnings are equal to $25 per share. It is to be doubted, if among the important producers of copper, this showing of earnings 32H on
 the selling price of the stock-can be paralleled
 It is also to be remembered that being a Canadian concern the com pany does not fall under the iron
 heel of the United States income tax collectors. To be sure it pays a tax to the Canadian government but there exists in that country a dis position to treat with fairness the question of ore depletion whereby a mining company receives credit for | the exhaustion of ore reserves While copper remains at 20 cents per pound or better, there is no ap- parent reason why the present divi- dends of $10 per share cannot be
 maintained. Incidentally, on June 30 last the company had net quick
 assets of s5,200, (Boston News Bureau.)
