Fishing Commission urges that only bona fide residents have fishing privileges in Alaska,
 The first annual report of the Alaska Territorial FiSn CommlS. sion is now to hand. Fishing is one of Alaska's chief resources and it is realized that every pre- caution should be taken to keep it so.
 The following is one extract from the repOrt:-

 In other parts of the territory the earnings have been relative. ly the same The Indians have received unusual sums and in some instances the children have been better paid than adults are i'll the States, and at the same time the operators have taken good profits,

 Hundreds of seine boats and trolling boats come to these wat CTS for two or three months in the year, each taking it's quota of the natural wealth and leaving practically nothing in exchange.
 There should be a remedy for this and some way must be de- vised to confine the fishing priv ileges, where possible, to bona tide residents so that a larger portion of the wealth of the Ter ritory be retained and utilized for further development.

the streets stand a poor compar1-

thought at the beginning Of the

THOSE LEFT BEHIND,
One Of the most impressive
sights are the numerous French,
British, American and German
cemeteries which dot the battle
fields. These burying grounds
are well cared for by the French.
On many graves there are fresh
flowers. The sentiment is voiced
over here by many that the Ameri-
can fathers and mothers of those
left behind in French soil would
be quite comforted and satisfied
to let the remains rest here if they
knew how the French were caring
for the graves. A wooden slab
with the name and rank and dates
markes the resting place Of each.

i l<sN@*ad S4s:
After seeing several ports in
Europe and talking with many
other Americans who have So
iourned on the Continent for a
time, long or short as the case
may be, one conclusion has become
forcingly lodged IN my mind,
namely, that Europe is ahead Of
America in only one way. That is,
in art. It has it's numerous and
magnificent art treasures which
have been handed down from cen
tury to century, and which are
being added to all the time. Then,
too. one finds a sort Of artistic
atmosphere almost everywhere, es-
pecially in the hotels. The clerk
may not be able to give you a
room with running water and prl-
vate bath, but you can bet that
''la chambre'' will have artistic
ally decorated walls and ceilings,
too, perhaps. Even the stairways
and Railways have their many
and vari-colored etchings and
paintings.
