by the Queen off Taku Inlet 1t was
headed for Juneau at that time.
At a late hour this afternoon moth
ing had been heard from the gasboat
Judge, which left Petersburg last
Thursday at II p m. with II persons
aboard, including members of the
Juneau High School basketball team.
On the waterfront no uneasiness is
felt over the safety of the vessel
and party, it being believed that the
Judge was forced into shelter by the
Taku which ragged Thursday, Friday
and Saturday and which abated yes
terday.
This belief is also voiced by Capt.
Mike Hudson, of the mail boat Pleas
ant, which arrived here last evening
from Windham Bay The Pheasant
was forced to remain at Windham
Bay by the wind and lay in shelter
there Thursday and Friday, leaving
Saturday. The wind was too strong,
according to him, for the Judge to
have made its way up Frederick
Sound 1t Is virtually sure, he said,
that it put into shelter either at Cape
Fanshaw or below there.
Shelter Is Plentiful
Others, familiar with the coast
north of Petersburg and storm con-
dtions. are not worried over the
Judge. 1t is believed that it would
be able to make Cape Fanshaw
against the north wind but would be
forced to lay up there. If engine
trouble was encountered, prior to
reaching Cape Fanshaw there are
many coves in which shelter could
be found and which the boat would
be able to make in safety, it is said.
Cant. Fred Boynton and w. R. Sci
fridge, both careful and experienced
navigators and gasboat men, are in
charge OF the boat and confidence is
expressed in their ability to meet any
situation.
Murre to Leave
1t is possible, however, that the
Judge was forced to put into shelter
with engine trouble. In order to
cover such a contingency, unless it
arrives or is heard from before . p.
IN. today, the fisheries boat Murre,
Captain George Maud, will leave to
make a search of possible shelter
coves and the beach south of Wind
ham Bay. The Murre will leave in
time to make Windham by daybreak
tomorrow and start the search from
there.
Queen Asked Keep Watch
When the Judge had not shown
UP yesterday afternoon at a late
hour, and after the arrival of the
Pheasant, a telegram was sent Capt
McGilvray, of the Queen, at Peters
burg, asking him to keep good
lookout on his way here and to adj
wise if the boat was sighted and II
necessary to give assistance, al
though 1t is not believed that she is
in need Of any.

the navigators, are Coach Howard

John Janiksela, George White, Mel

LoNe.EAREp FISH FERRET.
Goes In One Hole, Drives Fish Out at
Another.

|
The State Conservation commission
is very much agitated as to who is AS
semblyman Sap, says an Albany, N. Y,
dispatch. When inquiries were made
of the clerk of the assembly as to the
identity Of this person, he is reported
to have said: 80
(which one did you say?" J.5r5a
The reason for the concern Of the
commission regarding this mystic
statesman is that he has evidently dis
covered new denizen Of the water of
which the commission knew nothing.
AS the commission has charge of all
fish Gncluding suckers), animals and
parks and water power, and a few 9TH
er things, it wants to interview Assem-
blyman Sap as to his reasons for intro
ducing bill protecting fish ferrets.
The nnajor part Of the present session
of the legislature has been devoted to
legislation for and against muskrats,
skunks, fish and fowl. So when bill
introduced by "Assemblyman Sap
made it's appearance it attracted but
little attention until an argus-eyed in
spector Of the Conservation commits
sion discovered something new. The
bill is:
Section 241aa. Fish Ferrets; Use;
License From December Is to Febru-
airy II, both inclusive, fish ferrets may
be used in any of the waters of the
forest preserve and Lake Champlain,
provided a license, for which fee of
ten dollars shall he paid. be first OBJ
tanned from the commission. No fish
ferrets shall be used at any other time
during the year, and the use Of long
cared Russian fish ferrets are at all
times prohibited"
Accompanying the bill was the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-The fish ferret, when properly and
| judiciously used, is of great assistance
and value, to an angler who wishes to
catch the largest fish in the lake the
| first time, for the fish ferret goes after
| the largest fish in the neighborhood
AS is well known, in using fish ferret
two holes are bored in the ice about 15C
| feet apart The. ferret goes down one
hole and drives the fish up the other.
"The very best fish ferret to employ
is the long cared Russian variety, but
due to the size of its ears, this species
quite often is unable to get back out OF
the water. A Russian ferret will live
under the ice for a couple Of month:
aid continue his activity all the while
The result is that where Russian fer
ret gets lost, he will keep the fish
on the jump all through the winter ant
when the summer fishing season open!
the fish are all so scared they will no
bite properly. This has accounted to {
large extent for poor fishing in th'
lakes in the summer months. AlmOs
invariably it can be laid to fish fer
ret having gotten at large.
Fish ferrets are very expensive
animal, and strange as it may seen
are imported from Borneo, except tn
Russian variety, which has the lonI
ears. Some of the finest specimens o
ice fish ever taken out of water Wer
captured by the aid of fish ferrets i
