ADVERTISING ALASKA.

A good deal of the discussion at the meeting o the Juneau Commercial Association yesterday related to advertising Alaska. All of the speakers Chair man Hewitt of the Advertising Committee, who intro duced the subject, Charles w. Mason who followed him Governor Bone, who closed the speaking, dis cussed different phases of the question:
 Governor Bone expressed the ultimate object o advertising when he said that Alaska needs people and the advertising should be directed toward get ting them. MT. Mason very correctly said that the character of the advertising should be determined by the people that it was expected to reach, and Mir Hewitt thought there should be specialization in advertising, which, also, is true
 The four great industries and prospective indus tries of Southeastern Alaska mining fishing pulp and paper and the tourist trade. For Interior Alaska agriculture may be added and ultimately farm ing will be considerable industry along the Alaska coast The development of mining, fisheries and pulp and paper is matter of securing capital While advertising will aid that, most of the capital that will be secured in the future, like that which has to Alaska in the past, will be through putting specific propositions up to the men who have the money But it is different with the tourist industry That industry be developed through advertising Advertising is the very life of it. And with large tourist traffic there will come people to care for it. Many sections of the world support large popula- tion almost wholly through tourist traffic.
 The American railroads and the American steam ship lines should cooperate with the different, com muntes of Southeastern Alaska develop the tourist
 
 roads and. the American steamship lines would CO., operate with the people in advertising the attrac tons of Alaska for tourists and cooperate with them in caring for all that would come here tremendous business could be developed within very few years If these transportation companies would go after the tourist traffic of the country the Canadian Pacific Railway has gone after it, and prepare to handle it as the Canadian line has, they would find the people of Alaska cooperating with them the people of British Columbia have co-operated with the Canadian line. It is estimated that the tourist is worth $20, 100000 year to the people British Columbia, to say nothing of what it is worth to the transportation company There is in the world why larger business should not be developed for Southeastern Alaska. Where thousands come to Alaska now, tens of thousands should be coming.
 A thorough development of the tourist traffic would make business for Alaska farmers, merchants guides, gasboats automobiles hotel men and caterer of all sorts.
 However, Alaska needs advertising all along the line Her government needs should be adv ertised az well as her resources and her opportunities. Every wrong that is lighted well every resource that begins producing makes conditions better and encour ages people to come to the country-and as Cover nor Bone said more people is Alaskas greatest need

Never the fnances of the commission assured for than few weeks ahead But the principal officers served without sal ary expense money; shipping firms insurance agencies buying agencies accountants nearly all 5000 and constituting the Distributing Committees gave their work free of charge.

THE WORLDS THREE GREAT MEN.

Viscount Bryce, British economist student of Am erica, former Ambassador to this country says the three greatest men to come forward during the war are President Mazaryk the maker of Checko- Eleutherus Venzeos who piloted Greece through the World War; and Jan Christian Shuts. Premier of the Union of South Africa and Liberal statesman These are the statesmen, he contends who have done more that will last than was accomplished by any other three men He admits, however that these men prob ably reached the heighhs of greatness partly be- cause they detached from actual war man. agement that they in position work out sue cessfuy plans that had to do with afer-war things The statesmen of America, Britain France Italy and Germany were too much concerned with the con duct of the to give their best thought to the problems that must follow it.
 Viscount Bryce induced present his list by public opinion at the conference Williams Col lege <, He in address, said President Mazaryk was one of the three really great to come forward during the war Immediately people began speculat- ing as to whom the other two Of course Pres- dent Wilson Lloyd George Georges Clemenceau and Gen. Foch were all considered and figured in the guessing Finally it announced that the con census of opinion at the conference was that the English economist and statesman had President Will and Gen. Foch in mind It was then that he declared the other two to be Venizelos and Shuts and to explain that he had reference to what men had actually done during the that would live afterward.

Bunnell, Prex.
(Fairhanks News-MinerD ]

Fairbanks News Miner)
 The best piece of that Interior Alaska and Fairbanks in particular have received in many moons was the news that yesterday Federal Judge Bunnel accepted the Presidency the Agricultural College School of Mines, Fairbanks, his occupancy of the position take effect upon the confirmation of his successor as Federal Judge.
 An old educator Judge Bunne has spent twenty one years in Alaska and it automatically has be- come his home. He has opportunities offered him the Outside that might spell fame and fortune to him, undoubtedly would. but he doesn't care to leave the Hills Relatives in the legal profession in the East having big business to handle, are eager to settle down in their old age and wish their ac- cumuated businesses upon the boy but he can't see it that way. Alaska has evidently spoiled him for the Outside life, if you wish to put it that way While the salary President of the College is as nothing compared to his earning capacity. the work he do of a constructive nature for Alaska in the position appeals to him immensely So he has ac- cepted the position
 Since the Governors trip to Our Town have always felt that Judge Bunnel the point of doing something which meant much to us, and which you might consider foolish On the train coming from Nenana Judge Bunnel had fifteen miles of personal and uninterrupted conversation with Governor Bone. To the Governor he said, in substance
 Governor, although I am a Democrat, and about to be retired by administration, I wish to tell you that am with you and will uphold your admin istraton in every way in my power, long as it is for the upbuilding of my Alaska. I wish to make you this proposition: Find in the other three Divisions of Alaska who will do likewise, and will devote one year of my life at any time you call to form of board of four who will serve you go anywhere you wish, investigate and report upon any needed improvement for Alaska, and at my own ex- pense asking no salary or emoluments Of any Kind, absolute expense money while travelling"
 Of course in the nature of things is he was safe in his proposition, although he never thought of that. Such do not four in box
 Such Board Advisory. Everyman realizes could do a lot good for the Bone Administration and for the Territory. But, Agricultural College and School Mines and Fairbanks today, irrespec- tive of politics, is glad that the Governor did not "call' Judge Bunnell, for the Governors loss is Alaska's and the Interiors gain.

SHARK FISHING MAY BECOME
 BIG INDUSTRY

Victoria, B. C.. Oct. 21.-Sharks in tho waters along the British Colum- bia coast are to be turned into leath- CT. liver oil, fertilizer, jewelry and finally dollars, according to plans of Sidney Ruck, read of the Consolidated Whaling Co.,, who has resigned to launch the new industry. Organiza- ton of the new company has been completed, and the reducing plant will be erected On the Alberni Canal.
 Shark fishing, like whaling. is to be carried on along the west coast of Vancouver Island, where, MT. Ruck says, examination has shown that the huge Sun sharks, some of them weigh ing 2,000 pounds, race up and down in schools of thousands. Recently one of the coasting steamers reported run ming into a solid mass of these big fellows.
 Fishing for the sharks will be car ried on after the fashion of whaling with harpoons shot from guns. sharks, which are 60 to 65 per cent oil, yield up tc 20 gallons of the finest shark oil. It is used for medical pur- pose and fabrication of delicate mech anisms. Livers of the smaller, mud sharks. found in the waters between the island and the mainland, yield about 10 gallons of oil.
 Teeth of sharks are in great de- mand for the manufacture of neck- laCes. 1t is stated, owing to a new fad in neck ornament which recently developed.
 The fins are almost pure gelatine. They are cured and sold to Orientals, who use therh in preparation of table delicacies.
 Membranes and intestines are turn ed into gloves, glue and gut, blood and flesh into chicken food and ferti- lizers- The head is a solid mass of cartilage glue.
 The most valuable part of the fish is the skin, which has the toughness of vulcanized rubber. The outer sur face is Yas rough as sand paper. This is taken off by acid treatment and the SIyiT7 iS

STEEL BRIGHTER BREAKS WORLDS
 LOADING RECORD

Cleveland, October 21.-The Great Lakes steel freighter. D. G. Kerr, one of the crack 600 feet long, 60 feet wide, steamers of the Pittsburgh Steamship Co, subsidiary of the C. S. Steel Corporation, has broken the worlds record in loading and un- loading iron ore.
 The Kerr, commanded by Captain W. P. ("Speed"D McElroy, is one of the, fleet of 100 vessels of the com pany controlling the largest fleet of steamboats in the world and is one of the third largest boats on the Great Lakes.
 On Wednesday, Sept. '. last, at the Two Harbors, Minn-, docks of the Du- 1uth & Iron Range railroad, the Kerr loaded 12,S2 gross tons of iron 10000 tons per 1.3 minutes, breaking the former record, which stood for ten years, made by the steamer Corey, 9,362 gross tons in 25 minutes, at the rate of 1000 tons per 2.7 minutes.
 The Kerr docked at 5:42 D. m.; started to load at 5:43 D. m.; finished loading at 5:591k D. m., and left the dock at 6:01 p. m. on her voyage down the lake. She was only at the dock 19 minutes.
 The ore cargo was poured into tbe Kerr through 35 matches, all matches being in operation two minutes after the signal was given to start loading. No time was lost in trimming, or bal ancing the cargo, the boats matches being battened down immediately aft CT the lines were cast off, the auto- matic ''tell-tale' registering exactly at zero, indicating the vessel was showing no list to either side. The draft of the steamer when loaded was 19 feet Il inches forward and 20 feet inches after.
 The loading was under the super vision of Captain McElroy, Dock Agent George Watt and Mate c. A. Wallace A newspaperman on board of the Kerr was the official timekeeper.
 When the cargo reached the com pany docks at Conneaut, Ohio, on Sept. 12 another record was broken in unloading. the 12,3S2 gross tons be- ing un1oaded in three hours and five minutes, at the rate of 1000 tons ev- cry 14-9 minutes against the previous record of the steamer McGonagle made in 1919, of 14,269 tons in F hours, 25 minutes, at the rate of 1000 tons every 52.2 minutes, and the steamer F.. A. B. Widener. made ir 1a12, when 10,636 tons of ore was discharged in two hours and 50 min ,1tes, at the rate of 1000 tons every i6 minutes The McGonagle and wfdener also unloaded at Conneaut.
