ALASKA HERRING
 HELP TERRITORY

CORDOVA.-More than $1,000,- 900 was added to Alaska's payroll and new industry placed on her list by the formerly despise1 Alaska herring this year.
 The northern herring came into it's own when the war cut off the supply of the Norwegian fish Fol lowing investigation by 6 few per sons, several barrels of the herring were shipped to the States, where they were tested by government experts and found to Le at least the equal of the North Seas product, if not superior. When the resIas of this test became known there was a scramble among Alaskans to seek herring grounds, government experts were sent to the North to give instructions in packing and curing the fish, and the result was that this past year more than 5O,- 900 barrels of herring was pro- duced which sold at from $21 to $25 a barrel.
 Alaskans in touch with the new industry believe that it is but in it's infancy and will develop into a most important asset of the terri tory. The several salteries estab- lished this year, it is said, will be added to greatly next season, and the Alaskan herring considered by experts as a more nutritious fish than the Norwegian variety, doubt less will become known throughout the United States.

 AGAINST TURK RULE

AMSTERDAM Jewish Cor respondence Bureau at the Hague has issued a warning against the Turkish Grand Rabbi, Ihaim Nahum and his deputy, Nissin Nabliah, who have arrived at the Hague from Constantinople on their way to America and Paris, with the inten- tion, the bureau says, of creating a sentiment favorable to Turkey particularly in America, and of play ing off the interests of the Entente Powers in the East, one against the other.
 "Ihaim", the bureau says, "is an opponent of Jewish national and Zionist aspirations. The Jewisn people views it's liberation from the Turkish yoke and British pro- tectorate as the only way to at tain an independent Jewish state'

GENTLEMEN INCREASE
 HERDS BY THOUSANDS

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-There has been a remarkable increase in range cattle in New Mexico and Arizona-these states chief con- tribution to feeding the world since the entry of the United States into the war. A survey made by by the United States Forest Serv- ice, which encouraged the increas- ing herds for food production, gives evidence of this growth.
 Two years ago the Forest Service sent experts into the national for ests of the two states to locate unused areas suitable for grazing. Many areas were located. A large part of them, however, were small or so cut up that they were not of use for new herds. This diff culty was overcome by the ex- tension of grazing permits to cat tlemen already holding them.
 In the two years since the survey was made the increase in cattle on national forests is more than 65,. 900 head. The output of sheep and goats has been increased by at least 60,000 head.

RIGGS SAYS ALASKA
 CAN USE 5000 MEN

SEATTLE, Dec. 12.-Alaska, preparing to do its share in recon struction problems and the care of returned soldiers, will be able by next spring to furnish employment to at least 5000 men, according to Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., who passed through here on his way to Washington.
 The governor sent out circulars to all commercial clubs, school boards, city councils and councils of defense in Alaska, asF' what provision they could make for re- turning soldiers. It was from the replies to these letters that he based his estimate on the territory's ability to take care of 5000 addi- tional men by next spring. Posi- tions will be available, he believes, as clerks, teachers, watchmen and foremen, in addition to the present shortage of mining help.

 STUDYING IN STATES

SAN FRANCISCO. - Although General Emilio Aguinaldo fought bitterly against the United States as leader of the Philippine insur- rection until beaten and trapped by the American forces under General Frederick Funston, that bitterness has disappeared, as evidenced by the recent arrival of his son Emilio, Jr., in this country to study for the bar.
