Panama Canal Profit
able.

President elect Harding has completed
his inspection of the Panama canal and
his visit to the Canal zone. 1t rs under
stood that more than twenty-five per
cent Of the traffic through the canal IS
in transit between ports of the United
States and South America. Thus the
Atlantic ports of the United States are
getting in touch with the Pacific ports OF
South America, and are carrying on an
ever increasing traffic. Before the
opening of the canal such intercourse
meant trip Of many miles around Cape
Horn and added largely to the expense
and time required for such transporta
ton, and consequently made the carrying
of certain perishabe products prohib-
tive. Not all the trade through the
canal is with South America about IF
teen per cent is with the Orient
The canal has had very stimulating
effect upon commerce and is already
showing profit upon operation; though
perhaps it may be many years before
it Will show an interest return upon the
investment.

and meet operating expenses. The slack

Oklahoma Aggies
 Loose to Baylor

Saltwater, Okla, Oct. 22.-Baylor College of Waco, Texas, defeated the Oklahoma Aggies this afternoon to 0. Both teams are in the southwest ern conference.
 Two peculiar plays lost the game for the Aggies. Blailock, giant Bay Tor tackle, picked up the ball after Ray, aggie half back had fumbled it, and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Dotson kicked goal. Late ins the game when the ball had gone from the Aggies thirty yard line to the Baylor six yard line, Ray and Looka bauh carried it down the field with six consecutive first downs. When the Aggies reached their six yard line Baylor braced and held them for four downs. Lookabauh attempted pass to Ray and Ray fell across the goal line with the ball. The referee held that he had fell across the side line Punting featured the game. Ray punted 20 times, averaging 46 yards and Dotson and Strickland, for Bay for IT times averaging 34 yards.

The Illinois Michigan and the sOhio State Wisconsin contests are generally considered the most inn poitant of the day, for these four elevens are all considered of cham pionship calibre with little to choose between them. Victory for Illinois and Wisconsin or Ohio State would
 practically eliminate the defeated eleven from the contest, while de- feat for Illinois by Michigan would tighten the race considerably, fol Illinois is looked upon as having an excellent chance to retain the cham pionship.

LARGE DEER MEAT SHIPMENT
 LEAVES ON VIC.

The largest single shipment of rein
 deer meat that has left Nome since
 the start of the reindeer industry was
 shipped out on the Victoria by the
 Packing Company.
 The shipment consisted of total of sos dressed deer, and was consigned
 to Minneapolis, from which place it will be distributed to various points of demand. The cold storage capaci- ties of the Victoria were taxed to their utmost to accommodate the large num- Der of carcasses. Representatives of the company say the demand for rein- deer meat is growing steadily. It is already so large that present trans portation facilities make it impossible company is endeavoring to induce the steamship company to enlarge the Victora's cold storage facilities to ac- i comodate larger shipments. The deer
 are frozen before leaving Nome. the company having obtained the use of the former Carsten's cold storage plant in the east end for that purpose. The company is also operating a plant of i it's own at Golovin. where large herd | of the animals is maintained. The ] Golovin plant is q new institution started this summer. Later on the company expects to erect refrigerator plants at other points, one of which Is
 already projected for the unaIakleet section. Most of the deer sent from i Nome are killed and dressed at Col ovin and other outlying points and are 1 then shipped here on coasting vessels. l During the present season a considera . ble number of deer were brought here from St Lawerence island to fill this summers shipments to the States. of I which the last consignment is only n | part. It is expected that approximate ly one thousand additional carcasses will be sent out on succeeding steam
 CTS before the close of navigation.

LARGE MAIL LEAVES ON VIC

The largest consignment of mail to leave the Nome postoffice during the incumbency of Postmaster J. !. Walsh was sent out on the southbound trip of the steamer Victoria. The quantities of both first and second class matter were considerably above the normal weight of south bound shipments. making the consignment comparable with many of the larger mails arriving from the States.
 Owing to prospect that the steam CT would get away Tuesday, Postmas- ter Walsh very considerably disre- garded the fact that Monday was a holiday and kept the postoffice open. much to the accommodation of numer- ous people desirous of forwarding par eel post and other special matter. The ordinary mail was also kept open un- til the last possible moment on the evening of the vessels departure We'd nesday night.

NEW HERRING PACK
 ARRIVES FROM GoLovIN

The first shipment of this year; local market this summer from Colo win arrived Wednesday on the Arc Chief. The fish were put up at the Chester plant and were packed by the Scotch cure method of mild saltins Mr. Chester who arrived on the schooner, said the herring run this year has been considerably lighter than usual but that the fish averaged
 somewhat larger than last year. The salmon run was also smaller than last year. Owing to the failure to dispose of last years big pack because of the influx of cheaper foreign herring, there is little outside demand for the Alaska fish at present and resultant year. Only a relatively small number are engaged in the business this year
 as q result of this contingency and the output will probably be several hum
 dred barrels less than last year. ac
 cording to those in touch with the in dustry It is said that Il large part of the puck sent out last fall is still un-
 sold as d result of the outside markets
 being flooded with cheaper priced fish l from Europe. Due to this cause there
 is d considerable reduction in local
 prices this summer. this years fish
 retailing in small quantities at fouI | for 25 cents, as against two for the
 same amount last year.
 1 In view of the present high cost oi l living supplies. the high food value oi I the Nome herring, combined with the
 low price, should induce a much wider local consumption than has been the
 case in earlier years. In the opinion
 of those who are competent to judge
 Nome herring is superior to any found :, elsewhere But for the remoteness oi 1 outside markets and high transporta 1 tion charges preventing the fish being 1 sold on equal terms with the foreigr product, there is not a doubt that they
 would speedily supplant either tn,
 Scotch or Norwegian herring in popu. lar favor.

VICTORIA LEAVES WITH
 LARGE LIST

Taking out the vanguard of the summer residents of this section, the steamship Victoria departed Thursday for the Outside with q passenger list of 147, a large quantity of frozen rein deer meat for outside markets, the mails, and small amount of miscel- laneous cargo.
 The Victoria returned from St Michael Monday morning after dis charging a large quantity of freight ;tt that port. The day of return being Labor Day, discharge of cargo was de- layed until after midnight owing partly to rough water and to an alleged dis inclination to meet the wage demands of the longshoremen. who were said to have been adverse to working on the dabor holiday and dema nded over time rates.
 The bulk of the passengers were taken on board Tuesday evening, all though the steamer did not get away for several hours later. The number sailing was the largest leaving this port on an early September sailing in many years and discloses the highly undesirable effect of the steamship company's refusal to make late sail- ing in October. Approximately 60 par cant of the number taking pa ga would have remained here another month or six weeks if later transpor- tation was assured.
 The Victoria is scheduled to make one more trip, leaving here about Oct. 10th, according to company announce ments.
