SALMON MAKE RUN
FOR FRESH LAGOON

EUREKA, Cal.-An unexpected
run" of salmon and steelhead fol-
lowed the opening of a channel from
Big Lagoon to the sea here during
recent storm. Big Lagoon is a
large fresh water lake cut off from
the sea by a narrow barrier of
sand During a recent freshet the
rivers raised the level OF the
lagoon to such an extent that farms
were threatened with inundation.
To precent this a channel was cut
across the sandy barrier.
The first trickle of fresh water
had barely touched the surf when
the little stream growing every
moment by erosion, was whipped
into foam by thousands of steel
head and salmon fighting to reach
the fresh water of the lake,
1t is believed that the seepage
of fresh water through the sand
had drawn thousands of fish to the
vicinity of the lake, there to await
an overflow which would carry
them over the barrier.

NOT UNEXPECTED

While the country at large was
more or less shocked by the tactics
employed to prevent the enactment
of legislation during the last hours
of the late senatorial session, mem
bers Of the senate had reason to
believe. many weeks in advance Of
the termination of the session, that
filibuster would be attempted, as
means Of forcing the President
to call an extra session of Congress
Immediately.
AS early as December il was
argued in the Senate that an extra
session would be necessary to give
proper consideration to the momen-
tous questions presented TO Con-
gress. On December IS, Senator
Watson. Of Indiana, expressed the
belief that III is almost impossible
that we shall legislate on the rail
road (Outside> question. the tele-
graph and telephone question. the
cable question, the shipping ques-
ton and all Of the other momen-
tous problems within the next two
months. with all of the great APP
preparation and supply bills to pass.
1t is physical impossibiiity, he
pointed out, because these CUES
tons alone would occupy the at
tenton of Congress for many many
months before it could correctly
solve the great problems that %
sitv confront and perplex us -
Senator Watson was then asked
by Senator Jones, of New Mexico.
"if he had heard anything said on
the Republican side of the chamber
about preventing the passage of
some of the principal appropriation
bills. so as to force an extra session
of Congress-. To which Watson
replied that he had not heard any
intimation to that effect.
Thus it would appear that some
of the members of the Senate at
least, had heard rumors Ct fill
buster, but apparently no action
was taken TO forestall the attempt
to block legislation, which was III
reality a test of strength on the
question of an extra session OF
Congress, with the President on one
side, demanding immediate actor
on important administration meas
ures, and members of the Senate
on the other side, demanding ar
extra session
The pity of it is that Alaska
should have been compelled to suf
fer, because of the failure Of tn,
President and members of tbs
Senate to agree on questions il
which Alaska is not involved.

The Nenana Local Board is in
accord with the resolution adopted
by the associated boards, and will
take immediate steps to endorse the
movement, having for its purpose
the deportation of all aliens, both
declarants and non-declarants who
had claimed exemption from military
service on the mere ground of
non-citizenship.

To Members of all Local and Dis
trict Boards:
At a recent meeting of members
of all Local Boards of Seattle.
Washington, resolution was un-
animously adopted to initiate a
nationwide movement having for
its purpose the deportation of all
aliens. both declarants and nom
declarants. who had claimed ex-
emption from military service on
the mere ground of non-citizenship
The exemption of aliens was the
most exasperating experience of the
boards. The action of such aliens
was cowardly, disgraceful. and IN
patriotic. Every such person i'm
mediately branded himself as a
dangerous and undesirable resident.
This country nurtured and pro-
tected these ingrates. At the very
first test. when this nation faced
a crisis, these men were not willing
TO bear any burdens. For every
alien so exempted a good American
boy had to go to the front. These
aliens remained at home in ease
and safety.
They still retain rod is5& to
the exclusion of our u. =
diers.
Many organizations seem to cen
ter all their attention on the aliens
who surrendered their papers. You.
as member of the Draft Board.
can see no difference between the
alien who surrendered his first
papers and non-declarant claim
ing exemption-both Of them are of
the same brand Of parasites A
man not willing to fight certainly
would not make a desirable citi-
zen. If Congress is so intent upon
deporting only the alien who. sur
rendered his first papers, then at
least Congress should by. statute
make it impossible for the non
declarant alien who claims exemp-
ton to be naturalized.
Congress is now considering a
bill to restrict immigration. We
believe boards should urge Congress
10 prohibit all general immigration
for at least period of years.
The combined influence of Draft
Boards upon the question of de-
porting aliens and upon immigra-
ton laws would be tremendous.
We suggest and urge that you inn
mediately write to each congress
man and senator from your state
Get every patriotic and fraternal
organization TO do likewise The
legislatures of many states are now
meeting; concerted action should
be brought to bear TO memorable
Congress along these same lines.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, December 6
fSpeciaD.-Senator Irvine l.. Len.
roots speaking tour, which covered
the populous sections near the lake
shore and terminated at wausau; is
looked upon as the beginning of his
campaign for reelection. Senator
Lenroot left here in time to be in
Washington Monday. He stated that
he will devote the Christmas week tn
speaking. =.
Efforts to smoke the senator out on
the presidential situation have been
unavailing. He declares he is NOT
participating in the presidential con-
test. Whatever he would say with
regard to candidates would have an
immediate effect in Wisconsin poll
tics because it would indirectly in
volVe the fortunes of Gov. E. l.. Phil
ipp. who is being groomed by his
friends for the vice presidency Should
Lenroot favor Gov. Frank Lowden ~
Illinois. an imme diate complication
would. result. because it is generally
understood that the Lowden men will
insist that the vice presidency go to
an eastern state. 1t is understood
that the Wood men have given little
encouragement to the Wisconsin ex.
ecutive.
Senator La Toilette will endeavor
as in previous years, to control the
delegation to the national convention
while Gov. Phillip desires that these
delegates be sent uninstructed. The
choice of the delegation may prove to
be of unusual interest because Of
three personalities-La Toilette. who
will insist that it approve his policies:
Philip. who desires that it be per,
sonally friendly in case the vice presi.
dency should be available, and Len
root, whom some eastern leaders have
classed with the dark horses who NAV
be brought out for the presidency IN
event of a deadlock. These interests
cannot all be compromised, hence the
prospect for a contest
