 Quarantine End Near

; All danger from wholesale epi demic of influenza was thought to have been passed today, and while city and territorial health officials were reluctant to predict a date on which quarantine regulations probably would be lifted, the inference was drawn that it would not be many days from now.

On the second day six more fell i'll, and following the spread of the disease into the homes, the city council, acting in concert with Territorial Health Commission er L. O.

 REACHES PORT
Gutter Headquarters For Summer Patrol Work to
 Be at Juneau

The United States coast guard cut ter Algonquin, in command of Lieut.. w. T. Stromberg made port from the south at o'clock this afternoon. She will be here until Thursday, when she sails for Yakutat.
 It was declared that the Algonquin will spend the summer in Southeast ern Alaska waters, and Juneau is to be the supply base of the cutter s operations. She is to be used In patrol work and protection of fisher ies
 Some time ago the United States customs house recommended to the Treasury Department that a coast guard cutter be stationed here, for public patrol work in these waters. At the same time it was suggested that as soon as the former fleet of sub-chasers was placed under control Of the coast guard service, some of the smaller boats be given a similar station
 The Algonquin carries a crew of eight officers and 63 men. She was built in Cleveland in 1898, and is q vessel 205 feet long She is of 1,161 gross tons burden At one time she was stationed at San Juan, Porto Rico

PLANS PREPARED
 TO SAVE ALASKA
 FISH INDUSTRY
Gov. Riggs, Delegate Grigsby and Others Working to
 Conserve Alaska Horde
PLAN A CLOSED SEASON
Would Have Fishing Stopped For Twenty Days in Mid
 dle of Season.

SEATTLE, Feb IA special dispatch to the Seattle Times says Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr, Delegate George B. Grigsby and other offic- ials in Washington have concluded hat unless steps be taken to restrict salmon fishing in Alaska a valuable food reserve will be destroyed and more than $80,000,0 ,000 invested in salmon canneries will be wiped out It is understood that bill prevent ing fishing in certain seasons of the year will be introduced. The bill will provide for additional taxation on salmon the proceeds to be used to conserve the industry.
 The bill, which has been agreed upon by a committee representing the Territory, the Bureau of Fish cries and fishing interests, will pro- vide, in addition to the 36 hours Sunday closed period each week in Southeastern Alaska, that there shall be twenty days closed period, which shall be, in the waters north of Frederick Sound and Cape Fan shaw between August and Septem- Der 5, and South of that line be- tween August 20 and September 10. All fishing for salmon shall cease October 10 except by trolling for which there is no closed season.
 In the Bristol Bay cannery there jhall be no fishing of any kind for salmon before June 2Sth., and none after July 23.
 A 24-hour weekly closing period is established in the Cook Inlet country.
 No fishing will be permitted in the waters of the outer Copper River delta before June 5. and none in the waters of the inner delta until June 10th, the inner delta eXtend- ing inland as far as Mile 27 on the Copper River Railway Fishing in Miles Lake, and Abercrombie Canyon s not permitted before June 18th Tn the Abercrombie canyon fishing s restricted to 16-inch dip nets.
 The bill provides for administra- ion by a commission to consist of representatives of the Bureau of Fisheries and the Territory of Alas ka
 It is believed here that the bill i'll be opposed by the Bureau of Fisheries and by some of those in- terested in the districts Of Alaska where the restrictions are proposed.

While Mystery Of the Movement
Remained UnsoIved Price
Continued to Climb
Electric Storage Battery continued to

Electric Storage Battery continued to
hold almost the entire attention Of the
trading in hte local market. Following
up yesterdays substantial advance OF
over @ points, the price was run up
S4.75 higher during the morning. to
1871. Profit taking by those who had
the temerity to pick up the stock lO to
20 points lower, clipped off S1.7b OF the
advance. but these realizing sales. as
noted in the preceding sessins were
readily absorbed. Nothing definite came
to the surface to explain the fresh out
burst of speculative enthusiasm in the
stock. There was repetition, however,
OF the recent rumors concerning the
declaration OF either a stock dividend or
making of a stock allotment. The mys-
terious character Of the movement was
alone sufficient to keep the speculative
spirit alive, and was unqucstonably
stronger incentive for the continued ac-
tivity than IL the real cause was made
known. The trading continued on a
fairly heavy scale, the outstanding fca-
ture of which was the evident scant
supply even at the higher levels.
The general list continued to peg
along in the same narrow, apathetic
rut. With one or two scattered excep-
up of small fractions. Fresh weakness
appeared in United Gas Improvement,
which stock on relatively small sales fell
back to the low water mark Of 45M:
Small offerings of American Gas forced
the price down 81 to 43. Further facts
concerning the recent slump in the stock
came to light today, when it was stated
that the break was caused by the exc
cution of selling order Of block Of
stock, which had to be sold in hurry,
and ut the best price it would bring.
1t was offered at time wher the mar
ket was bare of buying orders, and on
tho Offering of 900 shares the price broke
IA points. SO rather than being anna
teurish, the broker in charge of the sell
ing order did the best of his ability and
suffered because of the extreme narrow
ness of the market American Stores
