GIGANTIC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS
 PROPOSED BY PRINCIPAL NATIONS

PARIS, Jan. 9. - The linking of groups of the principal countries of the world into huge high-power transmission systems from which ei- ectrical energy sufficient to provide a large portion of commercial and transport needs could be taken is one of the problems which the ln- ternational Electrical Conference in Paris had under discussion
 The meeting brought together delegates from 12 countries includ- ing the United States and Canada.
 Electricity as a means of moving trains, ocean steamship and turning the wheels of industry is about to come into it's own, according to the prevents tremendous developments in electric energy is the present high cost of materials and the expense at tached to changing from steam and other methods to electricity.
 Nations had enough potential el- cctrical energy in their waterways 10 eventually abandon the use Of coal, experts at the conference said, but only government financing could provide sufficient funds to harness this dormant power.
 The American delegates surprised the European experts when they out : lined the extent to which electricity is made to work for the American people The invasion of the Ameri- can home by such labor saving de- vices as electric stoves, dishwashers, irons, etc., amazed many of the dele gates who represent countries where as yet electricity has not figured in the home except in supplying light. The conference studied methods for the standardization of equip ment necessary in connecting the various highpower transmission sys- tems. With such an international power arrangement as suggested France may in the near future sup 1 ply electrical energy to the Balkan States and points as distant ass Po- land and Russia.
 The delegates were surprised at ivelopment in France since 1918. The use of French rivers in generating , electrical energy will eventually place France second to none in the manufacture of electricity in the opinion of the delegates.

NEW HOSPITALS RE OPENED SOON
Facilities Being Made to Care for Over Twenty-two
 Thousand Soldiers.

WASHINGTON,'. Jan. 9.-The United States Public Health Servic ? is preparing nine hospitals. four of which will probably be opened by May 1 and the others little later All of these hospitals have either been leased from private owners or taken over from the army or the navy, the new construction author ized by Congress at the extra session not yet being well under way
 Hospitals put into commission dur ing the last three months include the former Navy hospital at Gulfport, Miss, with 150 beds; the hospitals at Jackson Park. Chicago; Colfax, la, and Portland, Ore, with a total of $50 beds; and the Edward Hines Junior Hospital at Haywood, just outside of Chicago, with 1000 beds. Those opened in December are the Fort Me i Kenzie at Sheridan, Wyo, and one of the two buildings at Fort Logan H. Roots. at Little Rock, Ark. with a total of 4S0 beds. The Navy hospital at Las Animas. Colo, 750 beds, now operated by Navy surgeons. will be taken over as soon as a suitable pub lie health service staff can be organ ized. These hospitals will increase the capacity of all service hospitals to about 22,6OO.
 Hospitals planned to be opened for 1922 include the tuberculosis hospi- tals at beautiful Dawson Springs, Ky. Excelsior Springs, Mo-, and Rutland, Mass, with a total of 920 beds; the

FISHING RIGHTS
 DEMANDED FOR
 ALASKA NATIVES
Bishop Rowe Explains His Washington Visit-CritiA
 cises One Corporation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9. - Urgent need of legislation to aid the devel- opment of Alaska's resources was emphasized here today by Bishop Peter T. Rowe, Episcopal Bishop of Alaska who is here enroute to Wash ington in the interests of fishing rights for the natives ofthe Terri tory.
 Bishop Rowe said that one of the best moves of the Shipping Board would be to establish a Government line of steamers to Alaska.
 Bishop Rowe declared himself az net condemning corporations of AL aeka but off hand referred to one concern, supposedly the Carlisle Packing Company, which he said not Cnly threatened the future of sal mon interests but was making life impossible for a considerable body of natives by the company taking sal mon from the Yukon and Copper rivers.

REVENUES FROM SEAL INDUSTRY
 SHOW INCREASE
Herd Continues to Crow Fox Farming Is Also Profit
 able to the. Government.

Gross proceeds amounting to $796,- l03 were received by the Federal government from the fur industry on Pribilof Islands during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, according to the annual report of Dr. Hugh M Smith, Commi< a'o.er of Fish aries. Net proceeds from the lsland5 we're $423. 3.40029.
 Of the l"tter amount thare vas accruing from seal skins $342,70l 29 and from fDx belt Ss0,699 However there was d-n sitei in the U. S Treasury as net proceeds of sHles of sealskips dul lRg 1921 the sum of $99, ,98354 n addition to which Greet Britain ana Jaoa' received $3l : 825.35 as their shares under the sealing convention Of 1911.
 Herd Still Growing
 The Commissioners report on the Pribilofs says:
 '@The exceedingly valuable herd of fur seals resorting to the PribilOf Jaiands has continued to increase in response to the protection afforded by the discontinuance of pelagic seal ing, and the utilization of the 'surplu, male seals killed under government supervision is a profitable business. New methods of taking and curing sealskins have been undertaken on an extensive scale. and improvement in the quality of the fur has resulted
 'tSealskins secured in 1920 mum. bered 26.S48. practically all from ani mals three or four years old. The number taken in 1921 through the regular killing season that ended on August was 22,546. chiefly from seals three years old. The census of the seal herd in 1920 indicated 552,718 seals of all ages as of August 10, Of which 167,527 were breeding females and the same number of newborn young. The 1921 census showed the existence of 87.S20 seals of all ages, of which 176.655 were breeding females with a like number of young. The aggregate strength of the herd according to these fig ures did not include the seals killed in each of the years named.
 Tn February. 1921, the department entered into q contract with the Fouke Fur O.. of St. Louis. for the Alaska sealskins. This 1s the only company in the United etates fully equipped for dressing snd 1yeing large numbers of seal skins in manner equal to the best q the fur trade, and the

During the fiscal year 1921 two public auction sales of finished sealskins were conducted at St. Louis; 2O,18O dressed, dyed ard machned skins were disposed of; the gross proceeds of the sales were S715,404, and the net proceeds S342, ,701.29 The department has deposited in the United States Treas ury the sum of $99,9S354, represent ing the nct proceeds of the sale of scalsk.ns during 1921, and in addi- tton thereto has paid to the govern men.s of Great Britain and Japan the sum of $31,S25.35 each, represent ing their shares under the sealing conver.ion of July ', 1911.
 Fox Farm Valuable
 Another valuable natural re- a)mae of the Pribllof Islands is a he'd Of b,ua foxes, which are prac- tiea'iy de0c"dent for food on the c1fclsses Of seals killed for their r9,ts. Under the careful handling third herd is now receiving. the number of animals has steadily in- creased ald the yield of skins has become larger than ever before under government au ~pioes. The fox belts taken during the winter of 1919-20, numbering 90l blnes and 37 whites, were sold at public auction in St. Louis in February 1921. for $80, ,699. During the winter of 192O-21, after an ample breeding reserve had been released. the der artment's agents took l,125 blue foxes and 14 white foxes whose skins will be sold in due course
