HOLDS LOST HARPOON

BY The Associated Press
Bergen, May BIN the carcass of
whale caught in the Davis Strait,
Greenland, and recently brought into
a Norwegian port, the head of an old
harpoon has been found, deeply en-
bedded in the blubber.
Experts declare that the whale
must have carried the harpoon in its
body for some so years, since it is of
a pattern used by American whalers
when they fished the Greenland coasts
half a century ago.

something that will be hard to over come the efiiuvium. We believe he is sincere in the matter and thathe really believes the so called fish trust is try ing to hOg-tie the industry and put the little fellows out of business. But we have seen no evidence of worry on the part of the small concerns; they are preparing to handle the customary business and are going along with ap- parent unconcern and no lightning rods up. If the situation was as serious as we would be led to believe they should be ringing for the patrol wagon and bringing up the reserves.
 It is undoubtedly true that the sup ply of fin is decreasing, but this is on account Of prevailing laws, the can neries being allowed to fish up to the grass roots in the streams and hinder ing the free accecs of the fish to the spawning grounds. When this is stopped there will be plenty of fish for all.
 There are also many cannerymen who believe high case tax and higher license would keep the number of canneries down and would not allow the markets to become glutted. What ever the outcome of the investifation it will not hurt the small concerns, and may curb some of the larger ones. has holler coming, and once it gets it off it's chest amica ble relations may be resumed.

Delegate Sutherland's
 Assertions of Graft
Seward Gateway.

A commission is coming north in the future to prooe Delegate Sutherland $ charges of graft in the fisheries bu- reau. Delegate Sutherland charges that the bureau has handed over the principal Alaska resource to the fish trust, composed principally of the Alaska Packers and the Pacific Amer lcan Fisheriesl
 Many charges and counter charges are flying around, the Delegate having apparently touched the bureau and the canneries where the epidermis is least thlck.
 The Gateway believes that both par ties are right in the controversy in that the fisheries have taken no pains to save the fisheries, planting their canneries far up some of the streams and destroying more fish than they use. The heads of the larger concerns, especially in the Bristol Bay district, have ignored the laws and have foisted dozens of drug addicts and insane upon the Territory, with fair sprinkling Of criminals.
 They have interfered with the duties of the deputy marshals, and refused to assist them in suppressing or abating evils brought about by the Chinese bosses. This is but smal! kingdom, with the power of starving or running the local fishermen out of business
 The remainder of the companies, who are trying to do the right thing by the Territory and are interested in keeping the supply of fish, have had to suffer for the sins of the few. There are many cannery companies which obey the laws, bring a splendid class of men into the country, and see that they abstain from drugs and drunken par ties. With these concerns there can be no quarrel, nor can there be fault. finding.
 The Delegate has made number of strong charges, which will undoubtedly react upon him if not proven. He has included members of the presidential cabinet in his allegations, and has over shot the mark in that he has stirred up

ercise it, of widening Commercial
street between Oak and Blidge street.
If the city has such a right this may
offer at least n partial solution of
this problem. In any event it would
seem to be worth Investigating.
The streets are always a matter of
such concern. Notwithstanding the
great increase in automobiles there
are still many who walk and who are
interested in sidewalks. l believe
that some definite policy should be
adopted whereby certain percentage
Of our street and highway appropri-
alton should be used each year for
permanent construction and a fund
provided for the maintenance Of that
construction. Such /. plan, believe.
would not only insure an annual i'm
provement in our roads and streets
but would also have a tendency to
economy in the expenditure of this
appropriation. Funds spent in ac-
cordance with some definite and we'll
thought out plan can be much more
wisely expended than under hap
hazard method. Possibly similar
plan might be worked out in connec-
ton with our sidewalks. 1t is certain
that our sidewalks should receive
some very definite attention during
the next two years.
REIMBURSEMENT Of Salaries
The salaries of the various city
officials should be such an amount as
will give a reasonable compensation
for the services rendered. I feel that
some of our salaries are excessive.
others too small. We should not have
inefficiency in an important depart
ment because the salary Is INSULT
cicnt to get a competent man. and
certainly that condition should not
exist when other officials are being
Over-paid an amount more than suffi-
cient to correct the trouble. This is
a matter to which l believe we can
very profitably give attention.
A Business Administration
Before the election we all pledged,
if elected. a business administration.
If that was a good promise to make
before election, it is a good promise
to keep now. 1t will appeal even
more to the voter in performance
than in promise. A business admin
lstration means conscientious SER
vice on the part of each and every
one of us. 1t means the elimination
Of politics in it's commonly accepted
sense and the substitution of politics
in its true sense. viz: The admins
tration of public affairs in the inter-
est of peace, prosperity and safety. 1t
means that there shall be no nursing
ct disappointments, but instead, a
hearty spirit Of cooperation. 1t
nay mean the disappointment OF
some of our friends. 1t surely will
mean economy. 1t will ;..-o mean
that we have kept faith and been
true to our pledges and to the public.
