government land, and 1t will not pay to cut the timber under the regula- tion of the Bureau of Forestry, which requires that the cutting must be done as to assure reproduction on the cut over lands.
 It appears to be the fact that cut ting will not pay unless a clean sweep is made without too much productive labor in the interest of renewals. It is claimed, however, that the Alaskan fir forests will reproduce themselves under any circumstances, as the growth is spontaneous and very rapid during the short summers, and that with very few restrictions in cutting forests will reproduce themselves for ever.
 It is stated that relief is expected either from the Forestry Bureau or from Congress, in which case large operations may be expecter at once. San Francisco Chronicle.

ALASKA HERRING COMING INTO
 IT'S OWN

For many years those who have made a study of Alaska fisheries have ccntended that the herring would some day rank second among wood fishes of Alaska in the trade of the world. That day has come and yet it is admitted that the herring indus try in Alaska is in the infant period of it's growth. It requires very little imagination to see it ranking first in importance in Alaska fishing unless something is done very soon to protect the salmon, without delay, provide a tariff that would give this Alaska industry a fair chance for the trade of the American Atlantic coast in competition with the herring pro- ducts of Europe. Like with dye man. ufacturing for which President Will son has asked a protective tariff, the Alaska herring industry is new, and we'll worth encouragement in the per iod of it's development.
 Gov. Riggs, discussing the herring fisheries of Alaska in his annual re- port says:
 ''In 1918 there was a great expan- sion in the herring industry as a di- rect result of the exploitation work of the Bureau of Fisheries in 1917 to in troduce the Scotch-cure method. This work also indirectly stimulated the operations of those who continued to use the Norwegian method. The out put of herring was second in value only to that of the salmon industry in 1918. Special assistants were again sent to Alaska to give instruction in curing and packing herring by the Scotch formula. When the pack was placed on the market it was found however, that in several instances packers had been careless in their work and a faulty product which could hardly be marketed was the re- suit An inspection service under Government auspices is being plann- ed to pass upon the quality of herr ing landed at Seattle. The pack of Scotch-cured herring in 1918 was 3S,- 977 barrels, as against 1922 barrels in 1917, and of Norwegian-cured herring. 49,S42 barrels as compared with 13,576 barrels in 1917. The de- nand for herring fell off somewhat with the ending of the war, but there is an excellent market if the product is properly nrepared.
 "In 1918 the investment in the herring fishery was S1 .S02,817 as com- pared with s562,OO2 in 1917 a gain of 220 per cent. The number of persons employed was SS4, and the value of products was S1,s19,53S, The value of the output in 1917 was $767729.'

WOOD PULP FROM ALASKA

Competent observers claim that the Territory of Alaska can furnish an abundant and perennial supply ot wood pulp timber, and representatives of capital interested in the industry have been looking the ground over and seem to be of the same opinion
 If the supply is there it should be utilized. The stands of our North eastern States are approaching ex haustion, and while Canada still has an abundance of suitable timber, the Canadians insist that the profit oi its exploitation shall accrue to Cana da and not, to us. And we should doubtless feel the same way if we were in a position to complain. Tn so far, however, as American citizens own Canadian timber land in fee, we might, if we chose, start quarrel closely resembling that which we have started with Mexico over oil land Canada, however, is different.
 But the Alaska pulp wood timber should be utilized. It is stated that the reason why it has not already been exploited is that it is all or

Arrivals from points along the West Dawson trail, where they have been hunting recently report that nu' merous stray dogs have been eating carcasses of caribou which various hunters had killed and dressed and left beside the trail while awaiting conveyances to take them to Dawson In some instances the dogs consumed whole carcasses and in others they only chewed off portions of the ami mals. It is believed that some of them are stray Indian dogs. They were last seen about five miles out from town.

ALLIES AFTER
 TEUTON TRADE

THE HAGUE, Dec. 30 (by Associ- ated Press) Trade conferences be- tween bankers, merchants and sales men of the entente countries and cen tral powers have succeeded the mys- terious gatherings of spies in the hotels here and at Amsterdam. The iron, steel, shoes, ships and sealing wax of commerce are the topics in stead of the routes of submarines, troop ships and food ships.
 Whatever may be the opinion in America, or England, or France, re- garding resumption of business with Germany and Austria, the repre;en- tatives of the business concerns of those countries show nothing but a keen desire for such trade at the cor ferences here.
 The other day at one of the Hague hotels the groups seated in the lobby engaged in earnest conversation on trade subjects included:
 1. English ship owner and director of one of Germans biggest transatlan- tic lines.
 2. Belgian banker and German au- tOmObile manufacturer.
 3. American travelling salesman and Hungarian general importer.
 All of them, so far as the core spondent could judge from the frag- ments of their conversation that came to his ears, were on friendly terms and keen for business.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

The ads in the Seattle papers are not censored as thoroughly as the news columns. We take the follow ing from the advertisement of a big clothing store in that city:
 About 15.O00 shipyard workers have already been laid off. Rumor has it that the yards will close about January first" This is the first glimmer of truth that we have been able to glean about the situation in Seattle from a Seattle paper. From what we can learn from private sources it would seem that the ad- vertiser just about told the truth.-- Douglas News.

that the run with cracked propeller

Lankey started from the northeast
corner of the field shortly before 1C
o'clock and had difficulty with his en-
CINE which did not warm up quickly
and seemed to skip. He finally de
cided il was running all right, as he
was in a hurry to get away, SO he
started across the field and seemed
likely to get up all right. He jumped
a ditch and then the machine seemed
to stall and dropped but had altitude
enough to clear the rough ground
Then it struck in plowed field and
bounced up again. A fence was there
and the plane cleared the fence ex-
cept for one wing, which touched

struck again, bounced and hit the
ground the second time. Then 1t
slowly turned over, pinning Lankey

Almost at once the plane caught
fire. 1t is supposed the emergency
gas tank broke oper or leaked and
the gasoline flowed down onto the hot
engine where a spark ignited It and

the blazing gasoline poured down ov-
er the aviator, pinned in his seat.
That Lankey was killed or rendered
unconscious by the fall is believed
likely, as he never made sound after
the fall though 1t was thirty seconds
before the fire started
How Owen got out he does not
know. He was in the rear seat OF
the plane and had better chance
to escape. He got out and ran
around the west wing of the plane to
see If he could help Lankey, but the
fire started and he was driven back.
The fire department was called and
after using all the chemicals available
and throwing sand on the blazing
plane finally extinguished the FIRE.
Robert Smalley, formerly of the air
service. was the only witness to the
accident. He and Lieutenant Lankey
were warm friends and had been to,
gether at breakfast and all morning
but Smalley had to stand and watch
the body of his friend be incinerated
without being able to do a thing
He said the engine seemed to stab
and that was why the plane fell.

twenty-five feet in an effort to get

unhurt by the fall and was able 10
get out of the seat before the flames
from burning gasoline reached him
The accident happened at 10 o'clock,
when Lieutenant Lankey was trying

Aviator Burns
To Death At
St. Petersburg

morning at St. Petersburg. when an
aviator, Lieutenant Lankey, was
burned to death in his machine while
leaving that city for Clearwater. We
print below an account of his feats
over the city and the engine trouble
which developed prior to his death
taken from the st. Petersburg Times
of yesterday morning, and also the
account of his death taken from this
mornings Tampa Tribune. The St.
Petersburg Times article follows:
while all 'tanked up st. Peters
burg took flyer yesterday and the
sky was the limit,
"All of this because real, sure
enough whippet army tank camou
flage 'neverything was rolling about
over the streets and two Curtis army
planes were circling overhead.
The tank arrived a bit behind
schedule, but shortly afternoon it was
surrounded by a crowd of curious
folk in front of the Victory Loan
headquarters in the city hall. Perhaps
this fact had something to do with
the subscriptions for the day which
totalled $2O,45O.
The big show came at o'clock
when the tank moved to the open
space along the waterfront just
north of the mole, where it performed
all sorts of feats to the amazement
OF several thousand spectators who
crowded Beach Drive and the mole.
DO All Sorts Of Stunts
Overhead two army planes, directed
by Lieutenant Lanky and Lieutenant
Ryan finished up the war-like pic
ture with stunts of every conceivable
king. Flying low flying high, execut-
ing loops, spins and all the other
things that planes have been taught
to do, the two aviators presented ev-
cry appearance of being in actual bat
tie while they bombarded the crowds
with Victory Loan literature.
Coming up from tho Kerr Field
south of the city, where they had
alighted the day previous, the planes
did their stunts and then landed in
the park space in front of the West
Coast Inn Here they parked FOR the
night The third plane remained last
night at the Kerr Field where it was
awaiting a new propeller blade to
take the place of one damaged in
alighting at Terra Celia Island while
en- route to St Petersburg.
DevelOpes a Leak
The plane in which Lieutenant
Lankey made the flight yesterday af
ternoon developed a radiator leak
and may be unable to continue the
fight to Clearwater today If both
planes are repaired they will get
away early this morning to take part
In the exhibition on the Belleview ho-
tel grounds today. Plans have been
made for a big May Day celebration
there in an effort to put Clearwater
over the top in the Victory Loan cam
paign.
