ALASKA MUSEUM PLANS MINERAL
 EXHIBIT ROOM
Display Will Include All Kinds of Mineral, Oil
 And Oil Products

Plans for a complete exhibit of and oil, and oil products to form a part of the Alaska Museum, are about completed, according to a statement made this morning by Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., Presi- dent of the Alaska Historical So- ciety This exhibit, explained Gov. ernor Riggs, is intended to form one of the most important as well as most interesting sections of the Museum
 The formation of the mineral col lection is to be started at once. Donations of samples of the many Alaska minerals are being sought by the trustees of the Society. Each article will be labeled with a de- scription of the mineral where it is found, approximate quantity of de- pOsit, together with the name of the donor. Efforts will be made to get a complete representation of min erals from every district in the Territory. The oil exhibit will likewise be assembled from fields in which prospectors are active, and oil products it is believed can be obtained from the refinery in operation in the Katalla field.
 Museum Opens Soon
 "The carpenter work at the mu- scum, which is located in the A. B. Building is almost completed ' stated Governor Riggs. The ex- hibit cases have had the glass fit ted in them and shelving is about finished. The painters are ready to start to work and the museum will be opened to the public shortly after the first of next month.'
 It is the intention of the Society to bring the collection of curios from Sitka as soon as space is avail able for it's display. The articles which were used at the St. Louis Exhibition and are now stored in Washington will also be brought here for permanent keeping in the museum. Many articles of histori- cal interest are already here and will be put on display in short time.

WlNDHAM PLACER GOLD
 IS BROUGHT TO TOWN

A bottle containing several ounc- es of fine looking coarse gold from the placer diggings on Spruce Creek, in the Windham Bay district was brought to Juneau yesterday by c. w. Fries, who returned on the gas boat Pheasant after spending sev- eral days there looking over mining interests.

Several nuggets of fair size appeared in he bottle Spruce Creek is said o be about two miles in length. The success of Childs and Blank head has resulted in one othernpros- pector stalking further up the]creek. Several others are prospecting plac- er ground in the. vicinity. Mir Fries was unable to give the average value of the dirt taken out but 'aid that the men are making bet ter than wages in tehir operations.

 The Association of Pacific Fish cries, in Seattle. it is understood is making efforts to have addl- tiOnal naval vessels assigned to All askan waters for protection at the cannerymen, although Governor Riggs has received no official ad- vice regarding such action. It IS reported from Seattle that Major L. B. Douglas Secretary of the Association, has asked for 12 sub marine chasers to be assigned to his work. The trustees of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce recent ly pledged the Chambers support to getting sufficient naval vessels to stop the raiding.

for the discontinuance of Federal supervision. Although there may be disadvantages in administering the fisheries from a distance, the very fact of distance sometimes insures impartial and broad consideration Of problems; in other words, the whole matter may be seen in a truer per spective under an arrangement sim liar to that existing at present. This is in no sense to be construed as criticism in any way of those con- nected with the Territorial Govern ment who are laboring so faithfully in behalf of it's interests.

is very difficult and has undoubtedly retarded legislation. What suits one man in southeastern Alaska does not always meet the wishes of another in western Alaska.
 Territorial Control
 "Then again there is the question of Territorial and Federal control which develops in all discussions of fishery legislation affecting Alaska Undoubtedly in time the Territory should have control of it's fisheries to the same extent that the several states control in such matters, but Il is the opinion of those who have the welfare of the fisheries most at hear. that the time has not yet arrived

ther important reason that they are almost certain to be very harmful to the salmon industry in the course of a few years. If the few com panies now operating these floating raps continue their use, other con cerns in the same region will be forced to adopt similar devices fol reasons of self protection If a cut throat policy is put into actual prac tice the end of the salmon industry IS a going commercial business can easily be forecast
 There is need of much more work in removing actual barriers and ob ;tructions in salmon streams to per nit the opening up of valuable spawning grounds heretofore wholly inaccessible to salmon, also to make available waters more or less block ed with log jams and similar debris. The Territorial Government has undertaken work along this line hence it is contemplated that the Federal Government will practically
 
 thus saved can be used to excellent advantage for other salmon fishery work in Alaska.
 Stream Markers Urged
 "There is need of stream markers It the mouth of each salmon stream in order to give the fisheries proper information as to the limits where they may operate without violating prohibitory regulations. This work has been started by the Government and will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible It is large undertaking and full results cannot be expected for at least two or three | seasons.
 "The salmon fishery is priceless asset to Alaska and to the entire country, furnishing as it does a most wholesome and nutritious food. The great food value of salmon as com pared with meats is but little real | ized by the people at large. Not withstanding extensive publicity cam | paigns to develop a proper interest | in salmon by consumers, it seems clearly the case that the public | has by no means come to realized | the true worth of salmon as an ar ticle of great food value. The healtl of the community at large would be improved if more salmon and les: l meat were eaten. Judicial advertts | ing by the trade in popular maga zines should receive serious attea | ton.
 Conclusions Set Forth
 Having considered the presen l condition of the salmon industry 0 l Alaska and some of it's needs, wt | come to the following conclusions That under adequate protection tho salmon fishery of Alaska will con | tinue to be of increasing value; tha there is no reason why the forme | abundance should not be restored | proper regard is given to the es exponent of the salmon and tn seeding of the spawning grounds That quota of salmon sufficien for this purpose should be deter mined for each stream, all conner cial fishing being subordinated t that end; that in time a maximum of productivity will be reached an runs will be stabilized, and the 1T dustry firmly established; and that would then be possible to carry O the industry with the same degre of success that attends other at tivities where man cooperates Wit nature to bring to the highest fri ] ition the natural resources Of tn earth"

SUGAR PRICES IN CANADA TO
 BE INCREASED

According to recent advices re- ceived here from Montreal, Canada is enjoying the lowest cost of sugar of any people in the world, but the sit uation has become such that the present price of 16 cents per pound to the consumer can no longer con tfnue, and within a short time the Board of Commerce is expected to hand down judgment in the matter.
 Application for higher rates was made on behalf of the Cana dian refineries. most of whom were represented. They pointed out that the price of sugar is lower in Canada than it. is in the United States, or in fact anywhere in the world, and in addition the Canadian refneries have to pay the exorbitant rate of e1. change, higher customs duty, more freight, and the cost of manufactur ing the raw material is higher here because of more limited markets
