In addition to purchasing the buildings and ground there is at the present time about one hundred dol lars in the treasury of the hospital organization which will be devoted. as far as possible, to the purchase of the latest appliances for surgical and medical work.

PORTLOCk FUR FARMER
 CRITlClSES RESERVATIONS

Clyde Coombs, blue fox farmer of Portlock, who arrived in the city on the Starr, declares that if the propos- ed fisheries reservations go into ef- feet it will have deterrent effect upon for farming along the reserved strips. as under the ruling it will be impossible for farmers to catch feed for their charges.
 The ruling has already had a de- pressing effect upon business to the westward. according to MT. Coombs, as the sale of the cold storage at Portlock has fallen through owing to the effect the reservations will have upon the business.
 MT. Coombs believes that the pro. posed conservation plan is more or less a combination of the big inter. ests against the little fellow. and be- lieves it will prove immensely harm full to men desiring to install hand canneries which hire Alaskan labor exclusively. He declares that the large companies to the westward are fishing right in the mod,ns of the principal spawning streams, and that this is far more vital to the propaga' ton of fish than any number of small canneries would be.
 Unless these companies are compell' ed to give the fish chance to reach their natural spawning grounds there is no use attempting to propagate the fish by artificial methods.
 MT. Coombs is an old timer in the Territory and has been identified with business interests from Katalla to Karluk. At present he is engaged in blue fox farming. with successful re- suits.
