WINTER FAMINE THREATENED
 TO WESTWARD

Acting on information received from U. S. Marshal F. R. Brenne- man, of the Third division, that resi- lents at Unga may again face starya- ton this winter on account of lack of employment this summer, Gov ernor Scott c. Bone has taken up the matter to see if something can not be done to prevent the repetition of such a condition as prevailed in ,he same district for a short time early this spring. Marshal Brenne- man advised the governor that cod fishing had been ordered discontin- led by the Alaska Cod Fishing Com pany and stated that he was informed that 1t would result in starvation md serious suffering this winter.
 Governor Bone immediately tele- graphed President Alfred Green baum San Francisco. of the Alaska Cod Fishing Company, relative to the sitation. MT. Greenbaum in a re- ply received by the governor stated that the stations of the company would be closed indefinitely unless there was some immediate improve ment in the conditions under which it is operating. He stated that owing o high cost of production, excessive stocks on hand, financial conditions, lack of markets and declining selling prices, in order to dispose of present stocks and meet foreign competition, the company must sell at heavy loss. The company, he stated, has years stock on hand.
 Regarding conditions at Unga, he said that the run of fish slackencd on July 1. Up to that time the s'a- son was unusually prosperous to the fishermen. "If they are proyi- dent they can live through the winter on this summers earnings" he con- cludcd.
 Governor Bone has taken the mat fer up with Marshal Bronnoman and asked for a detailed report on th" situation.

WILL INSPECT DAIRY
 HERDS IN TERRITORY

On the first part of trip tn will take him to every section of Alaska where there are dairy herds. with the possible exception of Nome. Dr C. w. Trubey has arrived in Juneau and will inspect the dairy cattle on the channel
 Dr Trubey is a veterinary sur, geon with the r. $. department of agriculture, bureau of animal indus try. and has his headquarters at Portland. Ore He was loaned to the territory by the department Of agriculture and reported to Governor Scott C. Bone for orders.
 While on his way north, he visited dairy herds at Ketchikan and vii cinity and found that the work start ed last year iu the line of destroying cattle for contagious diseases can al ready be noticed. as the cattle in that section were very healthful.
 After being in Juneau for a week or 10 days Dr. Trubey will leave for the western section and will keep on going until he has visited all the sections where cattle are.
 He is of the opinion that not so many cattle will have to he de stroyed this year as last, owing to the fact that what cattle were brought north to replace cattle de. stroyed were from herds that had been inspected in the states.

ed for any payment until the pre-
ceding one has been spent. Il

dire necessity will this rule be dew
lated from. In as many cases as
possible money will be used to pro-
vide work for those who need it.
