Every little while, story comes from
some OvercautiOus saver and hOarder who
has Secreted his currency usually in
bank-notes) in some chimney, oven, sec
rotary" trunk, Granny, crack or old
stocking; then, when the sudden blaze or
casual pilferer destroys the hoard there
is no redress or recovery. With banks
and safe deposit vaults as handy as they
are today, the old stocking variety of
bank is an anachronism.

The beans have grown so well
cn all types Of soil in the state
this year in spite Of the unfav-
o1able growing weather that an
enormous increase in the acreage
OF the crop is predicted for 1928
by Mr.. Kenney. Efost Of the in

more than three times as many
as were grown the previous
year according to reports al

HAPHAZARD EXTENSION

biological stations had an aggregate
area of over $4,000 acres, with value
of $4,000. The improvements and
equipment at these stations repre-
scented an investment of more than
$1,000000. Other property of the bu-
reau at that time included four sea-
going steam and sail vessels, 20 steam
launches and $50 small sail, power and
rowboats, which with equipment had
value Of 100000. It's six fish-trans-
portation cars were valued at $4,000.
Indeed, the total investment of the
government in fishery-service property
ran to about $1,5S5, 900. That was
back in 1909.
Well, it hasn't stopped growing
bigger and buster than ever, as the ad-
vertisements say. The appropriation by
congress for the fiscal year 1919 was
81 1873, 140, and for 1921, $1,207, ITO.
Besides what congress gave, the Pres
ident allotted in 1918 and 1919, out Of

curity and Defense" 100000. With the
years of its growth and increasing

Until recently the bureau was adj
ministering to the best of its ability
the laws relating to the terrestrial and
arboreal fur bearers of Alaska, but
the duty was incongruous to it's legiti-
mate functions. Congress finally con-
ceded that the pursuit of foxes does
not constitute fishery. The cultiva-
ton of minks cannot be successfully
conducted in a fish hatchery.
Apparently, as so many other estab-
lishments under the executive branch
have, the fisheries service had become
all cluttered up with duties and jobs
