TRAPPER FOUND DEAD
 BY SEARCHING PARTY

The body of Tom O'Brien was found on September at the head waters of the Whiting river by the William Strong searching party. which had been despatched to find the missing man. He had been dead for some time and the indications were that he had died of scurvy. Official reports have not as yet been received at the marshal's office of the details of the case.
 O'Brien, a pioneer of the eighties in the Interior, left year ago last spring to spend year in the head waters of the Whiting river, which empties near Snettisham. He was to run trap line. He should have been in town early in the spring for provisions, and when he did not ar rive, a searching party was sent out under the leadership of William Strong, the Taku river man, with the result as above stated.

GRAND TRUNK VESSEL
 GETS ORDERS TO QUIT

The Department of Commerce in recent ruling in the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Alaska Steamship company has held that the motorboat Tillamook, which has been operating in waters of South eastern Alaska as feeder for the Grand Trunk, cannot engage in the American coastwise trade.
 The Tillamook is an American built boat, 119 feet in length, with 2S feet beam, and was launched at North Bend, Oregon, in 1911. She was purchased by the Grand Trunk about three years ago, and sent to Alaska to run between Prince Ru- pert and American ports in Alaska. Capt. Edward Thornton, of Juneau, has been her master. She has been an important factor in Alaska trade, running from Alaskan ports, can neries, etc., and taking freight, nest ly fish, and passengers to Prince Rupert for transportation east over the Grand Trunk Pacific The Til lamook was recently at Juneau un- dergoing inspection.
 A letter from the Department of Commerce to the collector of cus- toms at Seattle says:
 ''In the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Alaska Steamship com pany, it is understood that the steamer Tillamook is operating be- tween your district and ports of Alaska and in the foreign trade.

The company is capitalized for $50,- 900, represented by 500 shares, of which 495 shares are owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Dock company, domestic corporation, the majori- ty of which stock is alien owned.
 ''It is clear that under the pro- visions of sections 27 and 38 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, this vessel cannot engage in the trade with Alaska. The question whether she can engage in the foreign trade need not be given consideration at the present time"

STEAMER ENROUTE
 10 STILL PROTEST

As announced in the columns of The News on Saturday, the steam ship Victoria is enroute to Nome on the last voyage of the season, having sailed from Seattle on September 23. And thereby hangs a tale.
 Several weeks ago, the Alaska Steamship company announced that the last sailing of the Victoria from Seattle would be on September 13, or just a month earlier than usual. Immediately upon receipt of the news that their season of navigation was to be cut short a month, the citizens of Nome made violent pro- test through their chamber of com merce, appealing to Governor Riggs and to others of influence to aid in securing another sailing of the Vic toria after September l3 The pro- test was based on the injury such I curtailment of service would work on mining in the Nome district. It was argued that the steamship com pany could not reasonably claim that the October sailing in previous years had been a non-paying trip, for. as matter of fact, it has always been the best paying trip of the Victoria. The people of Nome also assured the company that they would attend to the Tightening of cargo in case the regular lighterage company failed to function when the steamship arrived. And they threatened to withdraw all future patronage from the company in case of refusal to send the Victoria North for the October sailing.
 Governor Riggs took the matter up with Secretary Payne and the officials of the Alaska Steamship company. The company was at- tackled from all sides and with such aggressive methods that it finally capitulated. The Victoria is now enroute to Nome, and will leave the Seward peninsula port on the last trip south about the middle of October, as has been the custom in years gone by. .-

Makes Money With
CANNING Outfit

Two boilers fitted with trays, two
tubs, two wire baskets, two pairing
knives, small dipper, measuring
cup, a kettle, and a can sealer COM
prised the equipment that a young
Washington school teacher used to
can enough peaches to clear $500 in
two weeks last fall.
One of the things which the home
demonstration agents, sent out by
the United States department of ag-
riculture and the state colleges,
teach is the use of inexpensive equip
men when it impossible or inadvis-
able to buy expensive utensils. In
the Yakima Valley, Washington,
there is a high percentage of waste
peaches in the orchards that supply
the commercial canneries. 1t is i'm
possible for them to use tree-ripen-
ed Alberta and Slappa peaches be-
cause they will not stand up well
under the high pressure used in proc
essing. A young school teacher,
living in the vicinity of these
orchards, and her aunt decided, with
the advice of the home demonstra-
ton agent of that county, to utilize
these tree-ripened peaches. With q
stove made of bricks and the above
equipment they were able in two
weeks to make a profit of $500. They
found little sugar was necessary
with the tree-ripened peaches. They
also made 900 quarts of peach and
pear conserve and 215 quarts of
grape and apple jelly. Special
recipes were worked out for the pear
butter

State of Sonora Under Same
REGULATIONS as All Wexico

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The state
of Sonora, Mexico, is no longer ex-
empt from the regulations of the
United States department of agri-
culture governing the entry of rail-
way cars and other Yihicles, express,
baggage or other materials from
Mexico. When the regulations were
promulgated July 1, 1917, as one of
the measures against the pink boil
worm of cotton, the states of Sonora
and Lower California were made ex-
empt from inspection and disinfec-
ton requirements. 1t has recently
appeared however, that railway cars
and materials entering from Sonora
by way of Noga1es or Douglas,
Ariz., may have come from the in
terror of Mexico, and are likely to
be more Or less fouled with cot
ton seed that may contain the pink
boil worm. The secretary Of agri-
culture, therefore, has promulgated
an amendment to the regulations
placing Sonora on the same basis
as the rest of Mexico, except Lower
California Lower California, the
other state exempted under the orig
inal regulations, is not affected.

Cattle Ticks Given Mo Rest

Preparations are under way in the
tick-infested Southern states for ac-
tive resumption in the spring of the
campaign against the destructive cat
tie parasite.
Last years plan of beginning dip
ping operations as early as possible
in March will be followed this year.
In fact, it is expected that the early
dipping this year will largely sur
pass anything done in previous years.
Thus the cattle tick will be killed
before he has a chance to acquire a
large and active family.
In some sections where weather
conditions made it possible, dipping
has been kept up through the win
ter, and the costly little bug has
been given no rest in the season
when it has been customary to sus-
pend active field work.
An area of 219,581 square miles
remain to be freed from the do
mination of the tick. Officials of
the Bureau of Animal Industry Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
are confident that large slice of
this area will be taken out OF quar-
antine as result of the 1920 cam
paign.
