 The herring is particularly sought in Chicago and New York In the summer of 1921 the traffic assumed the proportions of a big ton mage movement, but up to that time it was merely local industry In the past, the mild cured herring came from the east coast of Scotland and England, which fisheries had control of the trade. Now the Alaska product commands the situation in the New York, Chi cago and other eastern markets and bids fair to become a leader in Alaska's total conner cial resources Railway & Marine News.

PERPETUAL TIMBER SUPPLY

Sooner or later the timber accessible to a sawmiIl becomes exhausted, says the Forest Service United States Department of Agri- culture. The operators are forced to junk a large part of their equipment, tear up their railroad tracks, abandon their roads, and move to other sources of supply To the lumber man this means a loss of money and time; to the workers in mill and woods it means seek ing other employment or new fields of ac- tivity; to the community it means a serious and sometimes a fatal setback.
 Relief from these conditions, forest experts state, marks recently proposed sale of Na- tiOnal Forest timber as the most unique offer ever made by the Government to lumbermen. The timber to be placed on the market is with in the MalheT National Forest, Oregon, and the Government proposes to open up the region on the basis of a perpetual supply of forest pro- ducts Forest Service estimates show that 60 million feet of yellow pine, saw timber may be cut yearly for all time, thus insuring to the local industries the opportunity to have a continuous stream of raw material, permanent basis of operation and staple employment for woods and mill workers.
 The area which totals 50,O0O acres and con- tains 6,700 million board feet of saw timber is, according to foresters one of the last great tmbered regions in the United States to be opened up for industrial development.
 The first unit to be put on the market is now being offered to the highest bidder and includes 800 million feet to be cut under 20,- year contract.

SUM MFR IS FADING

The summer sun is fading,
 And autumn's chill shall come, The nights are growing longer,
 For another seasons done- We shall miss the flowers of sum-
 nler,
 We shall miss the gentle rain. And soon we shall no longer
 See fields of ripening grain. The trees shall lose their verdure, And the vines shall nod to sleep For summer days are waning,
 Then no more the crickets creep The summer days are going,
 And birds will leave their nest, They builded in the naples,
 When spring was at it's best. Goodby to summer weather,
 Goodby to flowers and all, We will miss the summer beauty,
 That gives way to early fall.

NEW MINING BILL NOT A BENEFIT TO ALASKA

Attorney Maurice D. Leehey, who in Juneau a few days ago. declares that the Arentz Bill (H. R. 7736) now before Congress and which proposes re- vision of the mining laws, would work much injury to- Alaska. declares that the bill introduced by request and by the Bureau of Mines in ference with committee of mining engineers.
 It is MT. Leeheys opinion that the bill was writ ten under the influence great mining engineers of the big companies, who do not appreciate the diff the prospector the necessities of the operators He points out objections in the proposed measure would work to the great dis advantage of Alaska.
 He further declares that our present mining law is fairly satisfactory much preferable to the bill that Representative Arentz introduced, but which he now opposes Senator Walsh, of Montana thus sizes the situations:
 "The record of 40 years is the best enconium that can be pronounced upon mining law. It has ad- miraby served the purpose for which it was designed to promote the rapid development of wild unex- plored country and to meet pioneer conditions. .-Ju Capital

DELAWARE POULTRY LEADER
Ranks Third in Number of Fowl kent
F. Per Square Mile

In number of fowls kept upon each
square mile of land surface Iowa
ranks first, Ohio second, Delaware
third. New Jersey is eighth in rank.
Pennsylvania ninth and the Empire
State is fourteenth.
Generally speaking, the rich agri
cultural States in the territory de-
fined are strong in poultry as whole.
But the commercial poultry plants,
the exclusive poultry farms, are more
or less concentrated in certain favor
able areas. Ohio and Indiana have
their quotas, but New England, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware apparently lead the country
IN the number and extent of such es-
Establishments And this, of course,
indicates that general conditions are
favorable in this territory.

AGRICULTURE-HOME
ECONOMICS COOPERATE

during the past week the agricul-
tural and home economics classes of
the vocational departments of the
Smyrna high school co-operated in a
butchernig perfect. A hog was Sc
cured which offered practical work in
all the various operations connected
with the working up of pork into
Its various commercial and consump-
tion products.
The killing, scalding, cleaning, and
quartering was done by the agricul-
tural class, while the making of the
sausage, lard and scrapple was done
by the home economics girls with
the agricultural boys assisting.
The final products were sold to the
people of the town, who, without ex-
ception, highly commended the bows
and girls for the quality of the pro-
ducts.
The department of Domestic Science
and Agriculture have co-operated one
hundred per cent. during the past
year and the cooperation Of the town
people with these departments is also
very well marked. Both departments
have won the genuine support of the
community because the work which
has been done was of very prac-
tical type and in thorough compli-
ance with the purposes and aims of
Vocational Education.

Lenten Mission
Rev. Jones Conducting Spec.
ial Series of Sermons--Mas-
ons to Attend Sunday

Thomas Episcopal Church, started
special mission Sunday with three SER
vices each day but Saturdays, which
will continue until Easter. He has
had great success in this line of work
and only recently returned from Hall
flax, N. S., where he conducted a
mission for two weeks that attracted
thousands of residents Of that city
and resulted in several young men
giving a pledge to enter the ministry
and several young women to take up
mission work.
At the II o'clock service Sunday
DR.. Jones talked on "The Conditions
of successful Mission" and Sunday
night on "Where Art Thou?" He
! took his evening text from a part OF
! the fifth verse of the twelfth chapter
of jeremiah, "And if in the land OF
peace, wherein thou trusedst, they
wearied thee, then how wilt thou do
in the swelling of Jordan II" He told
how animals along the river Jordan
when the river would swell in thel
spring would go into caves to escape
the waters.
DR.. Jones spoke of some of the
caves that the people OF today are
lin and as to how they would get out.
He referred to the cave of dissipa-
I|tion and the great waste Of life that
Is going on with men and women and
In this connection said the ties OF
mortality do not seem to be as strong
as they were many years ago. He
Also discussed the cave of intidelity
md the cave of self-complacency.
Previous to the sermon last night DR..
Zones gave short talk on the Bible.
The services each day during the mis-
ion will be at 6.45 o'clock in the
morning which will be prayer SER
bee and communion; 10 o'clock an
nformal service which will include
alks on personal religion. The mis-
ion service at 8 o'clock each evening
sill also be informal. There will be
Instruction on church matters before

ions the members of which he urges

Spring Time
Cleaning Time
A Cleanup Week Here
Would Brighten Up Many
Places--University Has
Cleaned Up

~lcdneO Up
Clean lots of rubbish.
| ook for fire hazards.
Ensure the children's health.
Attics and cellars should be cleaned.
Now is the time to paint.
Use metal ash cans.
Plant gardens.
These are some of the things that
can be done to make town come up
to the mark of cleanliness and at
tractiveness but they cannot be ac-
complished with only few persons
working along this line. It takes the
combined efforts of the town au-
thorities and civic organizations to
make success of a Cleanup Week
and this is the best time of the wear
for such an affair. This matter has
been urged for the past few weeks
but as yet there has been no definite
action taken.
Many people Of Newark are as in
dividuals carrying on work along this
line but if everyone would get back
of the movement the results would be
much better.
There are vacant lots, town lots
and back yards that are eye sores to
the town and if a Cleanup Week
was held these places could be and
should be the first to be worked on.
Wilmington is at the present time
having Cleanup Week and several
towns down-State have had similar
weeks or are planning them for the
near future. The authorities at the
colleges have just cleaned up the
grounds and it seems that it would
be a good stunt for the rest of the
town to fall in line and keep up with
the times.

WIND RECORD DEVICE FOR
 USE FLYERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-A new aid to aviators in the vicinity of Washington is offered by the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy Depart ment, in the announcement of the in- stallation on the 700 foot radio tower at Arlington, across the river from this city, of wind recording devices for the benefit of fliers primarily.
 A mast has been erected on the tall est of the three towers on which is a six foot vane, which by electrical con nections, records in the office every vagary of the wind currents at that altitude. The records, it is said, will be of exceptional value to airmen in showing the more constant currents of the upper air. The recording de- vice not only shows the direction of the wind, and keeps continuous rec ords of the velocities at all hours, but indicates the velocity on pressing button. By counting the number of buzzes per minute the velocity can be read at any time.

MINE MULES LONG IN
 DARKNESS SEE THE LIGHT

HAZELTON, Pa., Aug. 29. - The coal mine mule, which ordinarily snends years of his life in the dark ness of mine tunnels far under ground, retains his eyesight even though he does not use his eyes.
 So veterinarians in the anthracite region have determined following eX- animation of many of the mules when have been brought to the surface since the mines closed down last spring With this announcement the veterln' arians exploded a theory held by many for years - that because he did not have any use for his eyes, the mule lost his sight.
 The coal mine mule usually begins life like any common farm mule. once he becomes a mine worker, however things change. He is sent far under ground into the dark workings of the hard coal mines and there he stays often for the remainder of his life Being a hardy animal he sometimes remains in the mines for 20 years without seeing daylight.
 When the mules were hoisted tc the surface and turned loose upon the companies properties some of them blnked a bit at the sunlight. When the veterinarians looked them over they found their eyes were as good as ever.

"EMPIRE" STILL, USED IN
 GERMAN DOCUMENTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The con- tinued use by Germans of the term "empire" in diplomatic documents came in for considerable discussion in official circles here today.
 The claims agreement signed by rep resentatives of the two governments in Berlin on August 10 is the most re- cent case of such usage. In that docu- ment there is the following passage:
 "The president of the United States of America and
 "The president of the German Elm pire.
 "Who, having communicated their full powers" etc.
 This has served to recall the oc casion of the presentation of Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt. the new German ambassa- dor, at the White House. Ambassa- dor Wiedfeldt's credentials were from the German Empire" President Harding, in accepting them, did so as coming from the Great German re- public"
 Considerable comment was caused bv the fact that, while the designation of "empire," which the Germans seem to prefer, was rather pointedly re- iected by President Harding, it has been accepted by the State Depart ment.

LAND OFFICE
 UP ON WORK
 FORFIRST TIME

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-For the first time in many years, most of the divisions of the General Land Office have their work in practically cur rent condition, according to a recent report of the commissioner of that of flee to Secretary of the Interior Fall The clearing up of back work, it was said, is pursuant to MT. Falls policy of getting rid of all the work hanging over the last administration.
 Only one or two divisions are now slightly behind in the work, it was reported, and so rapidly is that being put out of the way that the entire land office will shortly be on the current basis The General Land Office it was shown has made great strides to that end, in common with at least two other divisions of the Interior De- partment.
 The Patent Office and Pension Blu reau are rapidly clearing up cases which have accumulated in the sev- eral offices for the last few years, until now they are declared to be about at the peaks of efficiency. This, in the Patent Office, is despite the fact that applications for patents are coming in to the office in steadily increasing members.
 The General Land Office head re- ported to MT. Fall that the number of complaints and inquiries to that of flee has been reduced by more than 50 per cent within the last six months, thus relieving a large number of clerks for other duties. In June, 131,- 7O5 acres were approved to states, under their grants, as against 12O,o22 in May, and 661,594 acres were ap- proved to railroad companies against 59,351 acres in May.

DRUG SMUGGLERS ACTIVE
 ON COAST OF HAWAII

HONOLULU, Aug. 29. - Attempts to smuggle opium into Hawaii on a wholesale scale continue despite all efforts made by government agents to put stop to the traffic, according to a statement issued by w. D. Allen, agent in charge of the narcotic squad of the Hononlulu Customs Office.
 Evidence recently has come to light duplicating members of the Honolulu police force in attempts to smuggle opium into the Territory, and the theory is now held that the opium ring" which is believed to exist ex- tends into police circles.
 A recent attempt to smuggle opium into Hawaii from a trans-Pacific steamer was frustrated by the GUS toms officials, who forced the crew Of Japanese sampan which had met the steamer outside Honolulu Harbor to throw overheard two packages con taining 150 tins of opium, valued at S27 OOO, in order to avoid arrest. h. formation that this amount of opium had been dropped overheard from the steamer was secured form mem bers of the crew, and it is believed that the packages were picked up by the crew of the sampan and later dropped when chase was given by po- lice launch.
