SLOW MARKET FOR
 ALASKA SALT HERRING

Eleven thousand barrels of Alas ka salt herring are on the Seattle wharves awaiting market, and the price has demoralized by reason of small shipments from the north, which in most instances are being forced on the market below cost of production.
 The Lee Wakefield Company, largest packers of herring in Alas ka. control the eleven thousand barrels, which represents what is unsoId from thirty thousand bar rel pack of the company.
 Captain Thomas, who spent the summer in the Kodiak district for the Wakefield company returned to Seattle for the winter. He report ed herring schools of exceptionally good quality in sufficient numbers to make herring packing profitable in that section. However, heavy losses were sustained by several con- cerns who outftted for that section during the season. This was ac- casioned by not having studied the waters, and being unable to fol- low the herring schools during the season. One Seattle concern put in an expensive plant getting less than two hundred barrels.
 Herring interests are now urging a reservation system similar to that introduced in the Alaska salmon dis tricts to stabilize the herring indus try.
 tI is believed locally that another thirty days will absorb the surplus herring on the Seattle wharyes, with the exception of the Wakefield hold ings, and that the market will right itself by the first of the year. It costs about SIP to pack herring, and the product has been selling as low as SS.5O.-Alaska Dispatch.

TRADE THRIFT STAMPS FOR
 SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

"It is to be hoped that every per son who can do SO will exchange | War Savings Stamps, which will fall ! due after January 1, 1923 for Treas ury savings certificates" said Post 1 master Conway today.
 "The large amount of money in- vested and the great number of per sons who purchased war savings stamps showed that the people of ] Skagway and vicinity could save money when tho necessity arose. Now, if they will take the money they saved when they bought stamps to aid the government in the prose- cution of the war and buy Treasury savings certificates, they will demon strate that the thrift lessons of the war have not been without effect.
 "The Skagway PostofT1ce sold about S25,OOO worth of the 1918 is- sue, which is now talling due," con tinued MT. Conway, "and the holders of these stamps have seen invest ments of about S2O.5O grow to $25 in five years, and larger amounts in the same proportion. They can see the same thing repeated if they re- invest in Treasury savings certif- cates. Interest acCumulates at the rate of per cent each year, com pounded semi-annually. These sav-
 ngs certificates are exempt from the normal Federal income tax, and from all State and local taxation (ex- cept estate and inheritance taXes) and may be held to the amount of $5.OOO, maturity value, for each is sue, by every memOer of a family They are backed by the credit of the United States Government, and af- ] ford an easy and sure method of say- ing"

CONCERNING THE MERCHANT
MARINE

Here are a few pertinent facts re
garding the merchant marine problem
that now confronts the country:
The United States government
found itself at the close Of the wal
in possession Of a fleet constructed
during the war emergency at cost
of $4,000, ,000. 900.
A large portion of that fleet, par
ticularly the wooden ships, was ut
tterly useless for shipping purposes be
cause the space required for its own
fuel was so great that no profit could
be made out of space available for
transportation Of paying cargo.
| Until some other arrangements and
definite plan could be agreed upon
the government operated some Of the
ships at a loss which formerly ran
into hundreds of millions but which
has now been cut down to about $780,
100000 year, below which the loss
cannot be reduced.
The ships must be operated by
either the government or private op-
orators or they will deteriorate, and
a high cost must be paid for care
taking.
+ A plan has been devised under
which the government would dispose
of ships which it is now operating at
a loss of $5O,000,000 year and per-
nit them to be operated by private
operators to whom the government
would pay about $30,O00.00O year, in
return for which the United States
mails would be carried regularly,
ocean transportation service would be
maintained for the development of
American commerce, and the ships
would be subject to the call of the
government as auxiliaries of the navy
in case Of war.
Therefore, the country has before It
the question whether it shall abandon
the ships entirely, or continue to op-
crate them at a loss of $4,000, 900
"a year, or sell them to private owners
who will operate them under plan
which will cost the government $780,
000, 900 a year. The ship subsidy bill
is opposed on the ground that It con-
payments from the govern
ment treasury to the operators Of pri-
vate ships. Opponents of the bill ig-
more the fact that the government is
now paying $50,000,0 900 year in de-
ficits for the operation Of ships that
do not render as satisfactory serv-
ice as would be had under private
operation.
The question is now. before con-
gress. 1t would be well il the people
of the country would write to their
senators and representatives and indi-
cate which they prefer Of the follow
ing three policies:
d. Abandonment of an American
marine.
2. Government operation at con-
tinuous loss of $50, 100000 a year.
8. Private operation under sub
sidy of $25, 100000 per year.

WIDELY SPREAD FAMILIES.

Thanksgiving day reunions OF the
present time are rarely the big fam
lily affairs they used to be. In days
when sons and daughters settled
down near home, it was an easy mat
ter to gather these nearby families
for a general roundup and big din
ner. Great was the hilarity on many
of these occasions, when the grand
children OF the clan started their
games of blind mans buff and hunt
the slipper.
Today large part of the young peo.
pie go away to more or less distant
places, and getting them all together
for one occasion would seem an i'm,
possibility. In their separate homes
they all make their own circles Of as.
sociates, and family ties do not seem
%o~near.
Something rather fine is gone out of
life, when these old family ties are al
lowed to die out. Your own kith and
kin are friends who can be depended
on to stick through sunshine and
storm, while others sometimes fall
away.
In many homes, however, the quaint
custom has been kept alive from year
to year, and it is upon these that the
blow falls hardest when through re-
lentless Death the chain has been
broken and some member will not re-
turn again.
Let us whose hearts have not been
torn by sorrow, on whom fortune has
smiled more kindly, give special
thanks on next Thursday and pray
Gods richest blessings to rest upon
those so made lonely this Thanksgiv-
ing day.
