MAIL BE SENT
 TO YAKUTAT ON ADMIRAL WATSON
Will Clean Up Three Months Accumulation of Mail
 Jefferson Christmas Boat.

Notification has been received here by Postmaster E. M Bradford that the steamer Admiral Watson that is leaving Seattle on December IA will On that trip take the ac- emulation of about three months mail for Yakutat and make call at that place on the way to theI Westward.
 The Christmas boat to Southeast crn Alaska will undoubtedly be the steamer Jefferson that is scheduled to leave Seattle on December 19. The boat should arrive on Gas tineau Channel on December 23 and will have much mail. The Victoria that sails on December IT will not come by way of Southeastern Alaska but will likely take the Christmas mail to Western Alaska points.
 As far as can be learned the last boats on which Christmas packages can be sent from here with an as- surance that they will reach their destinations at Seattle and the Pa cific Coast will be the City of Seattle Sci ieQuled to sail SOuIHDOunu OH December 15, Princess Mary that is to leave here on the morning of December 16 and the Northwestern due Southbound some time the same day.
 Packages to make either of these boats should be mailed at least day or two before the scheduled sailing dates of the vessels to insure them going and to give the postal clerks a chance to get rid of the congestion that is bound to occur
 Christmas mail for points in the East or South should be mailed not later than tomorrow to be sure that they catch the steamer Jefferson that is due South bound late Sunday night.

MISSING CASBOAT. DIANA'S FATE IS.
 STILL 4 MYSTERY.
Several Boats Travelling Same Route Return
 Without News.

The whereabouts of the gas boat : Diana, with Capt. Ed Jones and two miners aboard, which left Juneau fol the Hirst-Chichagof mine on Chicha- gof Island November 30, but has not arrived there, today still remained a mystery.
 The gas boat Dixon. Capt Tom Smith, was sent out by U. s. Com missioner N L. Burton yesterday n search for the missing boat. The fisheries boat Murre that left We'd nesday for Sitka also is looking in various places where the vessel might be. The crew of the tender Chichagoff apprised of the disappoar ance of the Diana befoer leaving Chh}nagof on the present trip, kept sharp lookout, but neither heard or saw anything of the missing boat
 The fishing boat E. Neilsen. that left this port on the same day as the Diana, for the fishing banks, has returned Members of the crew said they had seen nothing of the Diana. They said that on the day that they left port they ran all day and that it was good weather The following day, which was the day that tEa Di- ana should have rea1hed the First Chfchagof, it was blowing some but not so bad but what they could fish
 Various theories have been ad yanced to account for the mona rriya, of the boat either at her destina ,ion or back at the port The one adj vanced most frequently by gas boat men is that the Diana had ensire trouble and is in some Sheltered bay either having repair work do.e or waiting for tow to town. If this is the case, the Dixon or some other boat travelling in those waters. prob ably will soon find her.
 Men who know the boat and the captain say that barring some un- foreseen accident, the Diana could have weathered any storm that has occurred in Alaskan waters this win ter even if 1he should have hap pened to be caught out on the open ocean.

CLOSING ALASKA STREAMS URGED
 BY COMMISSION
Territorial Fish Commission Takes Strong Stand for
 Salmon Protection.

"In the hearings conducted recently regarding the Alaska fiss ing industry the stand of the Alaska Territorial Fish Commission was upon the gen eral policy of prohibiting commercial fishing in all streams" said Charles D. Garfield, Secretary of the Com mission, who has just returned from the South In addition. he said, the Commission had entered a plea with the controlling factor, the Bureau of Fisheries, for careful investigation and survey of the various stream sys tems for the purpose of determin- ing to what extent salmon in them can be drawn upon for commercial purposes without any danger of de pletion or extermination of the spe cies.
 Boring River Case
 The novel feature in the Berin2 River system hearing. said Mr. Gar field was found in the fact that the appeal for further limitation of fish ing in that section was made by the Hoonah Packing Company, which draws it's salmon from that district Representation made at the hearing at Cordova last Fall to the effect that there had been fishing in Boring Lake during the past season was de nied at the Seattle hearing on the Boring River and likewise at the Copper River hearing.
 Trap Hearings
 As a result of the trap hearing before Col Edward Schulz, also held in Seattle, it was decided that the present regulations are sufficient in themselves The Deep Sea Salmon Company said Mir. Garfield, made q Knowing in an effort to secure an ad ditional lead of 800 feet for floating traps situated in water more than 100 feet. The companys representa- tive contended that such an addition would only put them on equality witr driven traps. No intimation was given as to whether or not the re quest would be granted,
 Present Petitions
 "In the mater of closing the kusko kwim River to fishing the only evi Gence produced by the people of that district" said MT Garfield, wa some petitions signed by various res idents. Nothing was offered to shov the extent of depletion of salmo' supply, if any, in that stream Iherf are no canneries located on the Kus kokwim, the industry being limited to mild cure, and salteries. Thest concerns made a showing that thei' operations were confined to the us of the surplus fish in the stream and that were they compelled t move outside the mouth of the river 1t would in effect be confiscatio' of their business as climatic an6 other conditions made it impossible for them to operate in such a man ner." Mr. Garfield said jhe coulf add nothing to what has already beer said regarding the hearings on th' Yukon and Copper Rivers by A. J Adams of Cordova, who recent. passed through Juneau.
 Operators Favor Protection
 The general trend of thought il relation to Salmon fishing on the part of operators of canneries strongly toward protection meas Tes," said Mr. Garfield. They req lize that if the industry is to be 2 permanent and profitable one, somf measure must be adopted to limit ,he production to point consisten with the means of supply"

Prominent executives OF the fedora

It is believed an arrangement will

be possible to grant Immediately the

Clevefand-At an open meeting here
Of approximately 1000 coal operators
representing 1000 soft coal operators
IN the country and three-fourths Of the
total production, a resolution was una
nfmously adopted pledging their sup
port to Attorney General Palmer to
eliminate unreasona bic high prices and
dnwfse practices where such exist.
This action was taken following the
receipt of a message from the Attorney
General requesting the bituminous coal
operators Of the country to cooperate
with the Department of Justice in
bringing about the elimination Of un-
reasonable high prices for coal.
The general meeting was called by
Colonel D. B. Wentz, president Of the
National Coal association, to consider
q telegram sent by the Attorney Cen

ing that steps be taken to eliminate
41orbitant prices for soft coal.

In discussion at the open meeting
many maintained that Dltum1n0us Op-
orators generally were only receiving
reasonable profits and that the large
majority strongly condemned pro1iteer-
Ing in coal prices, which, if it existed,
was the exception rather than the
rule.
