JONES OPPOSED FISH CONTROL
 BY BUREAU

That the fisheries of Alaska should be put under the control of a com mission, either such a commission as that proposed in the so-called Alaska Development Board Bill or a separ- ate commission which would report directly to the president and not to a cabinet officer, is the opinion of Col, B. Lester Jones, Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who in- vestigated the Alaska Fisheries seven years ago and made a report upon them.
 Col. Jones was asked for his opin- ion because of the fact that he made the investigation referred to and has been deeply interested in Alaskan de- velopment. In his report Col Jones warned the people that unless some thing was done to protect the fish, cries industry it would be destroyed.
 Col. Jones says commission or development board would not be worth much to the people if appeal could be made to a cabinet officer. He says in that case the cabinet of ficer would report the matter to the bureau for report, just as at present and Alaska would be in the same pre- dicament as it is now in. It would mean only the addition of another link to the chain of red tape.

 Alaska-What memories that word aWakes!
 When I was still a young man the world first heard of Alaska as the Golconda of the New World.
 In 1897 there came the Klondike strike" and like wildfire ran the word: Billions of free gold in Alaska!" ....4.
 Then came the days of '98, the his toric epochal days of the Klondike rush, when the trail of '98 was black with struggling men, boys, women, horses and mules, when from Seattle swept an argosy of steamers and sail ing vessels, loaded to their extreme capacity, fought wind and water in mad race to rush the frenzied gold seekers to the treasure land of prom ise.
 Those were the days when Alas ka" and "gold" were the words On the lips of everyone, when men and boys in every rank and station in life dropped everything, made every sac rifice, to get to the creeks of Dawson, Fairbanks, the Yukon, the IditarOd Or to the shot-with-gold sands of Nome.
 Alaska, was the magic land, the land of promise to which the worlda looked. And through Seattle poured the throngs of gold-seekers, stopping here to outfit and buy supplies. Back to Seattle the treasure ships began to come weighted with their rich car goes. And almost overnight Seattle leaped from "raw'' town into bust ling, busy city, teeming with life and industry, and rich values soaring ever upward.
 In those days Alaska was thought of only as a vast region of snow and ice from which gold could be Wrested if the gold-seeker had the hardihood and courage to fight. Gold was the one and only thing sought for, the only thing Alaskans believed worth striy- ing for.
 Then gradually the gold creeks and gold sands began to be worked out Modern machinery began to supplant the old SIuicn hOXeS Of carly days huge dredges made 'pikers" out of the hardy "sourdoughs'' who braved pneumonia on the Nome beaches. One by one the camps" that, mushroom like, spfang up after stampede, be- gan to be deserted, the wild, free, joyous days of the dance hall, gamb- ling joint" of midnight stampedes, of epic dog races slowly died out as the "camps" began to be deserted And the "old-timers," shaking their heads, started saying that Alaska was worked out
 But about that time the pioneer prospectors and frontier builders were discovering that free gold was not Alaska's only source of wealth. They were learning through them that vast treasures of coal were locked up in her srow-clad hills, that oil fields, rich beyond dreams, were there, that

GRANAD TO IMPROVE
 FILM PROJECTION

A Mercury arc rectifier, a device which will increase the brilliancy of moving pictures when projected up on the screen, has been ordered by Hauber's Grand and will be installed within the next few days. L. D. Law Ison, general manager of the Hauber circuit, said that the rectifier changes an alternating current to direct and trebles its power when used in an arc lamp. The same device is used by battery stations in charging batteries MT. Lawson said it's use at the Grand will greatly increase the effective ness of screen projection, making all pictures clearer in outline and more easily watched.

 About 20 passenger coaches and be- tween 30 and 40 freight cars and their contents that were in the building and on adjacent tracks were burned. Eff forts Of the employees of the company made it possible to rescue the rest of the rolling stock in danger.

Shoot, an astute leader of the "old guard" stood ready to assist in jockey ing the resolution into such position that
 it could gain it's feet again only by the most strenuous effort.
 Senator Glass, of Virginia, further con- tributed to the discontinue of the farmers friends by declaring against the change of policy of the federal reserve
 system. It was his point that if the resolution prevailed it would transform
 the system from reserve to specula- tive system. The Glass contribution in- pressed the friends of the resolution with an idea that they had used poor strategy when they attempted to rectify two in stitutions by a single move.
 While the developments revealed un- suspected opposition, the friends of the farmers proposed to renew the combat

 His measure would limit the rate of interest to be charged to member banks to per cent Despite the moves in an ef- fort to regain lost ground, the prospects are admittedly less bright than yester- day. The opposition of Senator Penrose and his lieutenants, it is confessed, VIII be a difficult opposition to overcome.

OLD GUARD PUTS
 FOOT DOWN ON THE
 FARM LEGISLATION
Lodge Claims New England Manufacturers Are in Same Distress as
 the Farmers
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald,
 800 Davidson Ruilding.

Washington, December 7.-(Special.)- The ominous shadow of Senator Penrose, falling athwart the Senate chamber this morning, dimmed the roseate promise of governmental aid to the stricken farmers of the south and west.
 The republican boss" while absent, explained himself through those lieuten- ants who in the recent campaign com prised the senatorial oligarchy" They succeeded in relegating to to an indefi- nite state, from which it may be called orly by unanimous consent the joint res olution calculated to resurrect the war finance corporation and so liberalize the federal reserve system that farmers could obtain necessary funds readily at reason able interest rates.
 Senator Lodge objected to the consio- eration of the resolution, because it is not broad enough to include the mills of New England, which he declared to be distressed to an extent equal to that of farmers distress. Senator F'relinghuysen objected because of his contention that the revival of the war finance corpora tion would necessitate a bond issue of a billion dollars which would further inflate the national currency.

COAL COMPANY IS
 MAKING A RECORD
DeBardeleben Plants Exceed All Previous Production Rec
 ords-0utput Certified

The. largest coal production in the history of the DeBardeieben Coal company was made during the week, ending last Saturday, December 4.
 The output of the two mines, Sipsey and Paynss Bend, totalied s,571 tons. This is the certified production that will be reported officially to the gov ernment by the federal statistician.
 This record exceeds any that has been made by the company hereto fore by about 500 tons.
 Judging from the reports that have already come in, the official returns on Alabama coal production for the week, ending last Saturday, will reach 300, ,000 tons. The reports of cars loaded at the mines lead to this conclusion. It Is certain that the total will very nearly reach 300,000. That figure is the recog- nized full normal production of the Alabama coal field when things are running smoothly. There is good de- mand for the production and excellent car service is afforded. The official figures will be given out some time today.
 There is a healthy movement of coal down the Warrior river from Cordova and it is of regular character. Among the movements of the very recent past are these:
 Steamer Nugent left Cordova Decem- Der 1 with three barges of coal 600 tons each, for Mobile. She also carried one barge of steel.
 Steamer Volcano left Cordova No vember 2S with four barges of coal. 500 tons each, for Mobile.
 Self-propeller Jackson left Cordova December 3 with coal, $50 tons, for New Orleans.
 Self-propeller Holt left Cordova De- cember with coal, $50 tons, for New Orleans.
 In addition to these movements from Cordova, the new self-propeller Bir. mingham left Cordova December with miscellaneous cargo for Mobile and New Orleans, part of cargo being 500 tons of steel plates, wire and nails for Mobile and New Orleans.
