W. ing to the northward.
 Seward is on the outer or northern edge of the greatest halibut banks of the Northern Pacific ocean. Hundreds of thousands of tons of these delicious food fish are shipped annually to the States. the hardy fishermen running up from Seattle and southern ports to make their catch, then making the long haul south again. Seward has a large cold storage plant with facilities for handling all the fish brought to 1t, provided they can be quickly trans rr1ted to the States. Unfortunately the local steamship lines are not pre- pared to handle any extensive cargoes of fresh fish, therefore the market is hampered and fishermen discouraged. Were one of more cold storage vessels built especially to handle fresh fish, placed on the northern run they could secure cargo as fast as they could handle it. Not alone is Seward handi- icapped by lack of transportation, but Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell, Sitka and Ketchikan all complai nof being unable to get their fish to market.

J. SAM } IN N0RW00lID
 COMMISSIONER AT JACK WADE, HERE
LONG TIME RESIDENT OF NORTH WILL LEAVE FOR STATES
 ON NORTHWESTERN

J. Sam Norwood, former United States Commissioner of the FoBty Mile District with, headquarters at Jack Wade creek, arrived in Seward a few days ago from, the Interior and will sail south on the Northwestern. MT. Norwood has s been commissioner at Jack Wade for couple, of years and has been succeeded by Charles E. M. Cole, an old timer of the district.
 MT Norwood is interested in some hydraulic ground in the Forty Mile but reports that operations in the camp were badly handicapped for want of water last summer. There is little snow this winter and it is ex- pected that there will be an even greater shortage of water this sum- ~,or. There is not a great deal of ac- tivity in the Forty Mile country and there are only about 150 people in the district this year.
 In speaking of the Interior MT. Norwood said that game is more plen- tiful than fo ryears. In the, past year he has seen thousands of caribou and many wolves. On Healy, lake, above McCarty, he say thousands of white swan which lined the banks of the lake, resembling huge snow drift. The Forty Mile district is very para disc for game of all kinds. This sec ton of the country although more ac- cessible in the summer by way of the Yukon will be reached entirely now by way of Fairbanks and Eagle. MT. Nor. wood covered the distance from Eagle to Fairbanks in twelve days. This is a saving of six days9;.s compared with the winter route by Dawson and the Yukon. ,E s'e s.al ,>V:. lG-, o, As to general conditions in. the h. terior MT. Noorwood states that all the hotels in Fairbanks are full and business appears to be good in the terminal town. There are five or six, outfits working on Ester creek which is some indication of the better times that the railroad has produced in the Interior. The general opinion in the TInterfos-- fss thate1the Fr,rorais-E ing districts, are the Kantishna and the Kuskokwima Much activity is expect ed in these sections this coming sea son.
 The Chandalar strike, according to MT. Norwood was absolutely. unfound- ed. A little rich pay was struck on some old diggings and the report got out that a new big find had been made. The result was small stampede which was entirely unjustified. There, are a couple of good claims in the dis trict but they are old workings.
 MT. Norwood is much impressed with Seward and the future prospects of our city. He is now on his way to- Seattle, but may in the near future re. turn here and enter into business. He considers the scenery along the gov-i ernment. railroad as wonderful and will be an ardent booster of the load as a scenic route for tourists. T

CIRCUS WAS GOOD.

Howe's Great London Shows has
filled its date here and gone, leaving
pleasant memories with those who
filled every available seat at the one
performance.
Owing to the heavy traffic Friday
morning from here west, there being
the four-section bankers special be-
sides the regular trains, the circus
was delayed and did not reach here
until about II in the forenoon. This
made it impossible to show more than
once.
The parade was held al in the af-
ternoon and the side shows and main
show followed in regular order.
The main show, opening with Gin
derella in Jungleland-a fine feature
was good throughout The COM
pany has very good menagerie and
nearly every animal is a performer.
They also have a splendid lot of
trained horses, dogs and goats. The
equestrian features were no small
part of the entertainment. In short,
with good music, fine horses and ami
mails, pretty women, and an overplus
of buffoonery, they give a show that
gets them all going, young and old.
But the big feature-the one that
makes everyone sigh his relief-is the
big lion act. The earth and the full
ness thereof-would not tempt the or
dinary person to risk his life in the
arena with that bunch of cats.
The Howe show may be termed a
big little show. Come again.

THINKS PARK SHOULD
BE PRESERVED.
To Editor Echo:

To Editor Echo:
1t is rumored that a portion of the
mort end of the city park adjoining
the Motteler warehouse has been
leased or rented, for the purpose OF
erecting a permanent building there
on.
If the writer remembers rightly
some sixteen or seventeen years ago
Frank Losekamp and several of the
then public-spirited citizens got to-
gether and induced those who had
leased land and buildings from the
Great Northern Railroad, on the striI
now composing the park, to foregc
their leases and remove their build
ings, so that the ground be cleared
and made into what it now is-the
only beauty and recreation spot with.
in the city limits.
At the present juncture it would be
unwise to discourage any enterprise
that is likely 10 bring revenue to the
city and there is this danger. if one
party can secure lease to a portion
of the park for building purposes
how can another party with an equal
ly good proposition be kept from leas-
ing all or any part which he might
desire.
II does seem a pity to commercial
ize our little park when there is 81
much available ground for building
purposes and it does look unfair II
those, some of whom may still b,
alive, who in years gone by gave N
their property rights 50 that the citl
might have the park of which we ~.
all justly proud.

WARNING
IS GIVEN OF
FIRE BLIGHT

/ For the past three weeks fire blight
has been making its appearance in
the highly elevated orchards. How
! ever, the blight has not confined it.
/ self to these higher levels but has
/ spread to some of the lower valley or
chards in the past few days.
Most of the blight found so far, is
the blossom or twig blight.
Owing to the favorable weather
conditions the blight has spread very
fast and may yet do an enormous
amount of damage if it is neglected.
Most of the blight found so far is
confined to pears and Spitzenburg ap-
Piles, altho Jonathan trees are also
quite susceptible to blight.
The blighted twigs are very easily
seen at this time of the year and
usually attract attention by the flow
er cluster shriveling up and dying
The twigs and in some cases the new
shoots are seen to be attacked at the
tips and the disease running down.
ward killing down the bark the
twigs and branches in the form of an
ooze
AS ] said before the season seems
| favorable for the disease to spread so
if other conditions are just right the
disease may run down into the main
limbs and branches, and in extreme
cases may continue running down
ward during the growing season until
it reaches the root system.
The method of controlling the dis
ease consists of cutting out thoroly
and antiseptically. Look we'll for any
old hold-over cases and be very sure
these are removed so there will be no
source of infection for the next year.
1t must be understood that cutting is
the only thing to do as there is no
known spray cure or remedy for
blight. It is a bacterial disease and
once the germ has gained entrance to
the bark tissues and the cambum
layer there is no external remedy for
it whatever.
All tools used in cutting out blight
must be disinfected in order to be
safe. A solution of corrosive subli-
mate or bichloride of mercury, one to
five hundred, are good disinfectants.
Tablets may be obetained at any drug
store.
| would advise every grower to go
thru his orchard without delay and
inspect each tree closely for the
blight. If it is found, get in touch
with your local inspector at once or
call up the district inspectors office
and attention will be given.

and family.
-Four LeavenWorth fruit growers
during the past week have signed the
fve-year contract with the Wenat-
chez District Cooperative association
and will market their fruit through
that organization. Several others
have also signified their intention of
signing up with this association and
will doubtless do so before the ship
ping season opens. Construction Of
the warehouse will be commenced as
soon as the lease has been secured
from the Great Northern railway,
which is expected within the next few
days.
Wednesday evening several auto
loads of Wenatchee and Cashmere
men, headed by c. Warren Reid, of
Wenatchee, came up and initiated a
class of six local men into the mys-
