among those present at the hearing, 1 in addition to Semmes and Wick
 ersham.
 Semmes told the committeeman that it would be possible to save q
 million dollars annually in the oper-
 ating cost of Alaska steamship lines 1 by the coordination of traffic on definite routes and the maintenance 1 of regular schedules. But this will
 be impossible, he said, as long as ithree-fourths of Alaska tonnage in private service handles the cream of the traffic, contributing nothing to the year-around service for the com
 mon benefit of the Territory.
 Alaska customs figures for 1919,
 he pointed out, show total of 157,- 552 net tons entering Alaska from IHc otateS, HoL couHtilS Iue DodtS of twenty tons or less. This in- |cluded Canadian ships of 5000 net tons; independent American lines, I32,OOO net tons, and private own ership more than 12O,0OO net tons. Asked if the estimated revenue
 of S45O,OOO would be sufficient to make segregated routes attractive at reasonable rates and also on sched- |ule and meeting the postoffice re- quirements, he produced figures which he claimed would prove that Canadian companies had been helped by the contracts as proposed. He lsaid that if contracts were given American ships in Alaska along cer- tain routes to make it possible for them to continue the service, addi- tional contracts would be forthcom- ing quickly, and that lines that are now unproftable would be made to pay, and tourist traffic would be in creased materially in many sections. Semmes said that his plan for transportation in the North will not interfere with the Canadian boat service or with the privately oper- ated ships, but will simply make them contribute to the year-around service, which will be the first com mon benefit.
 The contract plan, he said, will eliminate present wasteful practices
 and duplication of service and direct
 business in channels which will be
 profitable. He said that increased !rates recently proposed can be pre-
 vented and all rates materially re-
 duced by his license and contract
 plan, but that no regulation will be effective which extends only to one
 fourth of the tonnage, without any
 control over the other three-fourths.
 and no power to require contribu-
 tion for support to the year-around
 service and the unproftable part of
 traffic to isolated places.

FISH HATCHERIES AND
 PROTECTION.

For every s4,000 taken out of the Alaska fisheries, Congress has seen fit for a number of years to give back one dollar; that is, remarks the editor of the ketchikan Chroni- cle, it has believed it was doing that. Alaskans generally will not burst with generosity because of this magnanimity of Congress, which, while the sum was entirely made quate, would not have been awful, were it not for the fact that 80 cents of every one of those dollars was taken to build a bone factory at the Pribilof islands, and six cents for the transfer of Alaska fish to the coast of Maine for the benefit of the Eastern coast industry.
 So, the Government, on this $5O,- 0O0,0O0 in fish which is taken out annually, actually gives back to Alaska approximately $25,000 for the propagation and preservation of it's greatest present day industry. No more is given, despite the fact that tens and hundreds of thousands are collected in taxes.
 Under the fisheries bill prepared by the Alaska Fisheries commission. provision is made that three-ffths of all revenue collected outside in corporated towns from the fisheries shall go into the territorial trea- sury into fisheries fund" for the preservation and propagation of food fish. This annual income, without any assistance from Congress, will be more and will make it possible to do more for the benefit of the industry than was ever done before.
 It will mean that every salmon stream in Alaska can be cleared out, that men doing the work can be paid a proper wage and not a miserable stipend such as is now offered by the bureau of fisheries for grown men. It will mean that hatcheries can be built and streams can be well policed to see that the laws regarding them are well en- forced. x. *.."
 This feature of the bill is at tractive in that it is putting back into the fisheries money that $ taken from it, and it is put back in such a way that it will bear interest for this and future generations.
 As for the hatcheries. under the new bill the fish commission which is to have its headquarters in Alas ka will be authorized to build fish hatcheries and dsvill be provided with the necessary funds for the work.
 The question of hatcheries is a moot question, with many men en. gagged in the fishing business of the opinion that it is the salvation of the fisheries. Others are of equally strong opinion that they are worth less. It is a fact, however, that the hatcheries fin some localities, particularly along the Columbia riv- CT, have shown such results as to warrant Alaskans in giving them a good trial, even at considerable ex- pense. Under the present fisheries law, which has been operative for many years, no provision is made to provide hatcheries of any conse- quence, and these sections of the proposed bill are but further req son swhy the taxpayers of Alaska, the people engaged in business and in the fisheries, should urge Con

FARMER FINDS RELIC
OF HISTORIC INTEREST

OWENSBORO, Ky.tA relic of
much historical interest in the shape
Of metal medallion thought to have
been struck in honor of the visit of
Gen. Lafayette to America in 1924,
has been found by John Miles, a
farmer who lives on Nat Alsop's
farm east of Owensboro. The me-
dalliOn is about the size and weight
Of silver dollar. One side bears
the bust Of Lafayette in relief, the
other French inscription, which,
translated reads, Object of venera-
ton and friendship at every visit.
We cannot forget the misfortune OF
yesterday and the services which he
rendered to the freedom Of both
worlds.
While il is possible that the medal
lion was struck by order of the French
commune at the close of the eigh-
teenth century, it is more probable
tht it was ordered by the American
congress when at the age of so, La.
fayette returned to America, where
honors and thousands Of acres Of land
were bestowed upon him for his ser.
vices to the young republic in the
revolutionary war.

IN MEMORIAM.

Bertha (BradfordD Tabor. daughter
Of Dave Bradford, was born March
81. 1900, and just as the sun set on
Tuesday, August 3rd, she departed
from this world. She leaves to
mourn her loss, a husband, two small
sons, Douglas, aged 2 years, Herbert
aged 4, father, mother, one brother,
four sisters and a host Of friends.
She professed religion when quite
young and united with the Presbyter-
ian Church ut Crayne, Of which she
was a member when she died.
She had been in bad health for sew
eral months with tuberculosis, all
was done to relieve her suffering that
loving hands could do, but God saw
fit to take her from us. While we
have lost a loyal friend, a devoted
wife and mother, Heaven gains a
brighter jewel.
Her funeral was preached at the
Crayne church, in the presence of q
large congregation Of her friends and
loved ones, by Rev. W. T. Oakley.
All that was mortal Of Bertha was
laid to rest in the cemetery near by
God bless her loved ones, and bring
them all home to meet hen ir the land

KUN ECONOMICS

Before the liquor question became
dead issue the prohibition orators
and writers entertained themselves
and Others with tabulations showing
what the money then spent for liquor
would buy when diverted to other
channels. Now comes a jeweler who
gives ont the information that the
man who formerly spent $500 year
for run can buy a carat diamond a
year for his wife. But can he?
The statisticians have proven con-
clusively that much of the money
which was spent for alcohol is now
expended for candy and other sweets.
The movie men say that their bust
ness has been doomed by the dimes
and quarters which used to be the
medium whereby the ordr to set 'em
up again was made operative. Clo-
thing dealers and furniture men give
like testimony. The savings banks
report huge increases. Travel by
automobile and rail is breaking rec
ords. Babies shoes are being bought
as never before. The $500 has a
long way to go before it arrives at
the jewelry store and diamonds are
going up.
D Jewelry, the gem expert says fur
ther, is going into the home now,
rather than to the jeweled finger and
throat of the vamp who one time
profited by the impulsive generosity
Of the man who looked on the red
eye whenever he was ready. Gen.
erosity no longer misguided, finds
its natural outlet in buying sun
bursts and star-clusters for the do
mestic circle. But he overlooks a
point which seems to have escaped
the notice of commentators generally.
That is the hang dog effect Of the
hangover in promoting peace offer
ings.
In the old days when a gentleman
was so unfortunate as to become
slightly stewed he felt that he owed
his wife and family an apology.
Wherefore he ordered flowers and
candy and ornaments Of gold and
silver. The money so expended has
never been calculated. But it loom
ed large in the overhead in figuring
the high cost of acquiring a bun. A
strictly sober man can be a tight
wad and get away with it.-Louis-

that where so many people gather
together for ten days, with three
or four services a day, with three

Club in Program

The. Thursday Musical club gave
an open program on Friday evening
In the First Baptist church and =
large number Of unsteady inclined
people OF Grand Forks took advan-,
tage of the opportunity to hear the
musical which had been arranged.
Mrs. L. c. Harrington was in charge
of the program. which had for its
theme the study and development Of
polyphonic music. Mrs. Harrington's
paper told of the development Of this
music in the French and English
schools. Mrs. Conte traced the de
velopment through the Netherland
schools and Paolo Conte followed this
through the italian schools.
In illustration Of the music intro
duced by the various speakers, must
cal numbers were given by selected
choruses. For several Of these there
was an organ accompaniment and
for others "a string orchestra played
the accompaniment. MIR. Conte illus
trated the Italian music with a group
of organ numbers and later played
the piano accompaniment for a group
of violin numbers which were given
by A. J.. Buchholz.
Mrs. Hugh r. Ruettell gave a
group Of Irish and old English songs
which were we'll received and Mrs.
Harrington was al the piano for. &C
compartments.
Rounding out the program was a
