Jack Young. manager of the fish packing plant operated by Jafet Iinde- berg and associates on Golovin Bay has invented q herring gillins machine
 which presents prospects of bringing labout a revolution in herring packing methods if later experiments are in kcening with the results attained with the device during the past season. The machine is capable of splitting and gutting herring at an approximate rate of nine barrels per hour. enabling the fish to be handled at a rate ap- proXimatcly four times ss fast as by hand gillinc methods and with a wide reduction in cost. IL is believed by
 Mir Young tEat an ever higher rate may he obtained through alterations the coming winter In general details the device consists of q travelling belt running to series of knives attached 10 Il moving arm operating on an ec- centric which pcrforates the fish at the throat and in the same operation removes the Gills and ertris. The fish are brouCh, to the cutters on the nov ing belt. On reaching the cutting de- vice, the fish is grasped by q spring which holds il fast while the cutting and gillinG operation is in progress When this is completed the spring | lifts and the fish arc carried by the belt
 to a trough in readiness fer the cur ing process. The gilling operation is
 During the tests last summer it was found that the admittedly unprotected device performed the desired work with such dispatch that the services of two men were required to supply the fish handled At the present time the machine is capable of handling only two sizes of fish but later improve ments are expected to increase tho variety to include all sizes ordinarily handled by herring packers.
 Alr. Young conceived the idea of building mechanical giller last year and worked on the machine during his sojourn in the States last winter His initial experiments demonstrated that he was on the right track and the de- vice used during the summer was con- structed by Seattle mechanics under Mir Young's direction. Aside from it's
 present inability to handle more than | two sizes of fish at one time. the de- vice is a success in every way and is certain to be of immense value to the
 herring industry. During the coming
 winter Mir Young expects to not only
 enlarge the capacity but also make
 other improvements which will bring
 the machine to a state of practical per- | lection.

Judge James Wickersham :, con.cm- plating writing q history of t' Q Alaska territory and may ultimately become known to posterity as the man who wrote the first real history of Alaska according to q writer in the Seattle Times, Who recently interviewed Judge Wickersham in Washington regarding his history recording inclinations.
 The idea of publishing real his- tory of Alaska grows on me. and I would like to have someone do the work" the judge said. "We ought to have at least one real history instead of the scattered works that very few persons even have seen and probably nobody has read in their entirety. It would be a facinating study to go over the early days and to clear away some of the myths Of Russian occupancy"
 The article says that in his early life in Tacoma, Judge Wickersham used to delve into Indian lore and write historical papers in territorial days and the times even before Wash ing became a political unit. During more recent years he has developed q hobbs for collecting publications on Alaska and insists he has the most complete library on the territory in existence. He is said to have all the English books and most of those print cd in other languages. Included ih

Reports from the Victoria reaching the radio station at S.15 D. m. Tuesday evening gave the position of the in coming steamer as 560 miles South of Nome at p. m. last night As earlier reports indicated that the Victoria en- tered Bering Sea Monday. the above announcement will probably be a con- siderable surprise to many who were confidently expecting the steamer to arrive here tonight. It develops how ever, that the Monday report stating that the vessel was 150 miles south of Unimak Pass on the night of october 26th was in error. According to wire less officials, the report was not re- ceived from the Victoria direct but was obtained through overhearing a conversation between the naval radios which seemed to indicate the Victoria was in the position stated.
