Possibilities of Alaska Herring Industry
Pacific Fisherman.


 recent report from the American consul at Sta vanger, Norway, the spring herring fishery of Nor way, shows that in the past four seasons including 1918, the catch had annual value of about $6,700, 900. About 80 per cent. of the yield was saed and most of the remainder sold locally or exported fresh fish, a very small quantity being canned kippered.
 The United States Bureau Fisheries in its bulle- tin for July that the importance and value of this fishery is an indication of what may be done by adequate Government encouragement and assist ance and by private enterprise and address in the United States, particularly in Alaska The herring of Alaska probably noe inferior to those coast ne are possibly much superior, yet the aver age annual value of the catch in that Territory the four years ending December 31, 1917 was but $252000. The bulletin continues:
 The eyes of the Alaska fishermen have been so fo- cused on the extraordinary salmon and rich halibut fisheries that the possibilities of herring have been largely overlooked. To small extent owing to the action of the Bureau Fisheries in placing experts in the Territory to give assistance to fsher- men in improving their methods of curing herring and in calling the attention of distributors to the availability of the supply, the the output in 1917 rose to $5s7'777, nearly double that of the preceding year and about eight times that of 1914
 The promising feature of this comparison is not the value of the pack of 1917, which was but 8 per cent. of that of Norway in the same year but the rapid increase in the past four years. It lends strength to the hope that the enterprise of the pie of Alaska will result in giving the herring fishery its proper place in the economy Territory sec ond only to the great salmon fisheries.
 The imports of cured herring into United States in normal times are heavy. By reason of war con- ditions these imports are now greatly curtaed and From some sources are entirely cut off, there is presented wonderful opportunity for Alaska to permanently acquire large part of this trade if an effort be made to meet the demand proper care be exercised to insure high quality in the pack Each careless or dishonest packer will menace to the industrial progress of the Territory The herring packed under the bureaus instruction and supervs- ion last year the best received in New York and the standard established should be scrupulously maintained. The Bureau of Fisheries believes in the future of the herring industry, and has again sent experts to Alaska to assist and instruct and to furnish information concerning marketing. It is re- gretted that efforts to obtain large staff for this work unavailing.

 The ntelligencers sarcasm conveyed an i'm precision, and was meant to convey an impression, as false though it had been direct mis-statement. The Seattle paper just guilty of trying to mis- lead the people as Senator Johnson, whom it had condemned. Secretary Baker trying to dispose of the and not to reward soldiers, and the ost-Intelligencer knew it.
 In fact, very well believe that the Post Intelligencers complaint against Senator Johnson that his misstatement a reflection the United States Government, but because it reflected City Seattle The Post-Intelligencer is af- ter the United States Government as it is made up, strongly is Senator Johnson, and it is just careless about the in which it uses facts in it's efforts to discredt the Government as is the California Senator.

WILD ANIMAL TRADE.
Y a %7&

The wild animal trade of the world, the business of supplying wild animals for zoos and circuses IS now undergoing a complete revolution according to the report Madison Grant, Chairman Of the FIX ecutive Committee of the New York Geological So- ciety. He also added that the war had completely destroyed several large collections of animals ln Europe, and others beyond the fighting zones were reduced 50 to 60 per cent.
 Supplying wild animals for zoos and clrcuses' which was fonce entirely in the hands, Of the Ger mans is now passing to English dealers, said MT Grant, "The Germans have lost their colonies and sources of supply, and longer have customers Ill the Allied nations An English company which mas taken over the trade has already a supply Of rare wild animals for at Pretoria, South Africa, waiting for shipment Fortunately, the embargo on imports of wild animals been raised and with the resump- tion of shipments the gaps in collections Will soon be filed

DANGEROUSLY INCONSISTENT JUNKERS ARE ALSO
 PROMOTERS OF DISCONTENT.

The 5Post- -Infelligencer is conducting a systematic campaign: to smake the administration of President Wilson unpopnlar, and in doing carries itself to lengths which make it ludicrousy inconsistent.
 To illustrate, the other day it attacked the Hearst papers as 'pormoers of discontent" Yet the Post Integencer's constant and purposefu nagging at the Administration, its petty complaints designed to aenate the returning soldiers from their Commander in-Chef, have other effect than to create dis contentunless perchance, they miscarry and create disgust in the hearts of honest soldiers for their author,
 Further, few days ago the Post-Intelligencer scolded Senator Johnson for msrepresenting when he said in the Senate that the l. w. w. were feeding returned soldiers in Seattle who could get food in other way. And it used the incident text from which it read lecture to politicians and news papers for causing no end of trouble by misrepre- sentng in order to make arguments for things they supporting. In almost the breath it was guilty of ofense exactly similar to the which is charged against Senator Johnson.

It would at least lot of Government book keeping and storage space, and would the Gov ernment little nothing Secretary Baker forth with signed the order. permitting retain the saftey and brushes, which had been pre- sented to him by the Quartermaster's Department. Thereupon the Post-Intelligeneer with a leading editorial, sarcastingy characterizing the action of Secretary Baker his idea of proper ly rewardng the who had fought for their country It said he had decided to repay pa- triotism with safety and brushes and it went to 1uggest that the second hand soap might also be included with the bounty of a generous Nation

James c. Ford.
Seattle POSt-Intellieencf

Seattle acknowledgement
 The sudden ending of the life of James c. Ford long prominent contributing factor in all enter prises having to do with the progress of Seattle has been a shock to the general public as well as to his personal friends. For many years a partici- pant in the active business life of the community retiring few months ago, he accepted only few days prior to his passing appointment in the service of the country that would have kept him in intimate touch with public affairs. An ailment, trivial in its beginning, by of those complca- tions which very unexpected, brought to a close the career of citizen who should have had many use full years yet to live. The loss is not only per- sonal grief to his family and friends but depriva- tion to the community in general to whose service he had been prodigally generous.
 The of MT. Ford, who rose from an hum ble beginning to high positions of respon- sibility, is an example and encouragement to every man employed in subordinate position who has an am- bition to rise in the world No system of govern ment or of social adjustment may be called unfair or inequitable which permits of the Ford type to begin with nothing and achieve such material cess as was his. The truth is that he was endowed by nature with such qualities the world rewards sobriety, honesty industry, prudence, tact sound judgment, and ability to choose the right action at the right time. Such serviceable to their fellows than they are to themselves, even though their material rewards may be high.
 And it is in such light that the community in general must regard the passing of MT. Ford To his intimates and lovabe friend been lost from the community has passed of those leadera of thought and action who contributed the pro- of this wonder city, and whose loss will be ly felt at time when his service si most needed.
