TRAWLING SWIVEL
To all Whom it May Concern

To llyWhom it May Concern:
 Be 1t known that I, John Hanson, a citizen of the United States resid ing at Doyhof, in the Territory of Alaska, have invented new and use full improvements in Trawling Swiv- els, of which the following is a spe- cification:
 This invention relates to appara tus used by fishermen. particularly to swiyels, and has for it's object the provision of a swivel which may be used in line for catching fish of any kind where the use of a swivel is necessary, the present invention contemplating the provision of spring within the body of the swivel whereby to permit a certain degree of residence when a fish strikes so that the line may give and so that danger of losing the fish will be greatly reduced
 An important object is the pro- vision of device of this character which is so constructed that the swivel or eye pins may be removed when worn and which is likewise so constructed that the spring within the interior of the body may be re- placed in case of breakage or in the event of it's becoming weak and worn.
 In the use of the device construct ed and assembled as above described it will be apparent that the swivel members will operate in exactly the same manner as other we'll known swivel members in so far as prevent ing tangling and raveling of the line is concerned. However, dis tinct advantage of the present de- vice is that the spring provides resil- fence so that when my device is in terposeds in a line and a fish strikes or bites upon hook, breaking of the line or tearing of the fish's mouth with consequent escape is prevented owing to the fact that the eye or loop may move with respect to the body, as one portion of the former is connected with the spring pressed disk. In this way it will be seen that it is possible to make a larger catch of fish as danger of loss is reduced to the minimum. Anoth- CT feature of advantage is that in the event of any possible corrosion or wearing away of the eyes or loops the swivel members may be quickly and easily removed and replaced by new ones so that the device should have an extremely long life and be comparatively free from destruction through wear.
 In testimony whereof I affix my signature JOHN HANSON.

CAFE HOOK

To all whom it may concern
 Be it known that I. John Hanson. q citizen of the United States, re- siding at Doyhoff, Alaska, have in vented new and useful improve ments in Calf Hooks. of which the following is specification.
 This invention relates to gaff hooks. and has for its chief object a construction wherein the hook proper is normally maintained fixed relatively to a handle of the device, but susceptible of being moved to a position with respect to the handle, where it is permitted rotary motion, with a view of keeping the fish on the hook, as the hook can turn and twist with the movements Of the fish in an effort to separate itself from the hook
 In practice the gaff hook is nor mally arranged in such a position that the device can be used in the usual we'll known manner. When fish is gaffed, the hook moves away from the handle under the weight of the fish and against the tension of the spring, and when the toothed member is wholly separated from me ndHule tne HOOh IS SuSCcPtlulc oi rotating with respect to the handle, thereby moving with the movements of the fish in an effort to separate itself from the hook. By reason of this fact it is obvious that it is not an easy matter for fish to separate itself from the gaff hook, or in any way break the hook by twisting or turning over in the water. as is sometimes frequently the case. re- sulting in the loss of the gaff hook as well as the fish. After the fish has been removed from the hook the spring functions to return the hook to its normal position. By reason of the fact that the member is substantially of conical formation. and that the portion of the cap rod is tapered, the teeth of these respect i've parts can readily and easily mesh with each other. when the hook is adjusted under the influence of the spring.
 In testimony whereof I afflx my signature. JOHN HANSON.

SAW MILL PROJECT
 FOR PETERSBURG
lPetersburg Reportl

Industrial things in this district are looking up according to reliable reports made at the meeting of the Petersburg Commercial Club on Wednesday evening September 26. The latest upward step to loom in the offing is the sale and rehalbili- ltation of the saw mill of the Peters burg Lumber Company or the con Isctruction of modern large mill at Scow Bay. or possibly both. That steps are being taken to clear up the legal matters connected with the Ireopening of the mill has been gen. Ierally known for some time, but that certain reliable parties work ing to the end of securing title and given general publicity. While the announcement made Wednesday night comes direct from reliable parties it has been requested that for the present too much publicity be not given the project until the plans have matured.
 It was also announced as coming direct from a large number of hali but boat operators that as soon as Petersburg has the power plant and a cold storage plant this point will be the favorite market for the hali- but boats, both large and small.
 Another announcement was to the effect that if the Commercial Club akes the proper action there is every proba bility that this will be includ- ed as a port of call for the two large tourist, passenger and freight steamers which the Grand Trunk is planning to operate to the Alaskan coast from Prince Rupert starting shippers and packers direct steam next spring and which will give fish shippers and packers direct steam CT service into Prince Rupert for shipment of their product over the shortest rail route.
 The Commercial Club is working on all these projects and it is expect ed that results will be obtained. The Club has already taken steps looking to the establishment of the emergency winter mail contract between this place and Wrangell which gives us mail service on all westward boats from the south.
 The new United States and Public Health Service and Emergency Hos pital is being established this week in the upper story of the new Bren- nan building with Dr. A. B. Jones and Lillian Bezanson, trained nurse, in charge. The hospital will be used for all marine cases and will also be open to private cases.
