BY o. B. wEARLEY.

Vt is the distinction and tho good
fortune Of the United States TO
/ possess It. but probably not one
person in ten knows the value or
our oyster industry. 1t Is conducted
in every seaport state, from Cape Cod
to the Rio Grande and from Puget
sound to San Francisco. Records OF
our Department OF Commerce show
that the oyster industry yields annu-
ally about $4,000 tons Of food az
prepared for consumption, an equiva-
lent of 100000 dressed steers. The
industry employs about $1,000 per-
sons. The product, as it comes from
the water, is estimated by the bureau
of fisheries at $15.000,000 annually.
These estimates were made a few
years ago whom oysters were plentiful
and prices lower. There are other
fisheries which possibly exceed 1t in
value, but in such cases much labor
and material and 8. heavy investment
Of capital have been concerned In
manufacturing operation. to prepare
the products for the consumers. For
instance, in the canned salmon indus
try on the Pacific coast and the Amer
ican fisheries for Goldfish on the At
lantis coast. But the most valuable
and economical fisheries are those
furnishing oysters. In Europe and
other countries the oyster is and has
been a luxury.
Oysters in infancy swim freely,
though they are feeble, and before the
oyster settles down 1t may wander
far from it's original locality. The
embryo oyster, which forms after the
egg Is discharged into the water by
the mother oyster, is so small as to
be Just visible to the unaided human
eye. After a brief career OF travel q
tiny shell begins to form. and as the
burden of this increases a change Of
habit comes The little oyster must
attach itself to a support and settle
down. This necessity brings one Of
the gravest crises Of its life, and
most Of the bottoms over which II
has been swimming are muddy. Shells
and gravel and similar bodies, IL not
submerged under tho mud, present q
surface sufficiently frm and clean to
serve tho little oysters purpose. The
more fortunate ones cement their
shells to such objects and grow and
henceforth remain where they fall

WARNED AGAINST ALASKA OIL STOCK

Some of the newspapers of Seattle are get ting all "het up' over the sale of oil stocks, and they are calling upon the Legislature to pass 'blue sky" law at its forthcoming session. The Star says that "Seattle now de- serves the unenviabe reputation of being the nations capital for fake stock schemes of every sort. The flim-fIam artists flock here because 1t is of their last remaining hunt ing grounds Time to close their shops.' The Daily Times is more specific and denunciatory, along line that many cause some Alaska To- calties to ''stop, look and listen.' It says: "Every share of oil stock on sale in Seattle is part and parcel of fraud and swindIe. Every effort made by a promoter of oil stock to interest you or your friends is an attempt to commit a crime. Every oil claim in Alaska worth red cent is in the hands of a group of capitalists who have nothing whatever for sale. Outside of the great producing and man. ufactuing companies whose stocks are dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange, there is no honest oil promoting campaign in Amerl- ca' The Post-IntelIigencer says: "The postal deparment's estimate that $5,OO00OO was in vested by Seattle citizens in worthless stock during one year should be additional incentive for the state to protect thrift by the adoption of a blue sky law.''

THE FOX FARMERS

Ketchikan men who attended the meeting of the executive board of the Blue Fox Crow ers' Association, held at Petersburg, returned enthusiastic. They report that the great ma io1ity of the fox farmers ars showing a dispo- sition to cooperate, to work together right down the line for their general good.
 The blue fox farmers make up a youthful organization The industry is practically new and yet they are showing those in other lines of endeavor an example that might be well to emulate They started out with substantial organization, with money in their treasury to protect themselves and their property and offering to do so And they start out with a definite legislative plan. They want the Gov ernmont to give them aid and they know just the kind of aid they want.
 During the years to come, new situations will arise and new conditions will probably dictate the change of the laws they are now going to advocate, or new laws. But when that time comes there is every reason to be- lievc that they will get together and work out their problems as they are now doing and settle among themselves what they want and then go after 1t.
 Incidentally, the politician of the future will study fox farming and the fox farmers wants, for To, they and their employees will cast many votes in the elections.
 The fox farmers must be warned, however, in their yon,h that the spirit of concilinton must prevail.

U. s. LIGHTHOUSES

The largest Lighthouse organization in the world is that of the United States, operating under the direction of the Department of Commerce. It now maintains 16,373 aids to navigation and has in commission IF vessels. This is an increase of 40 per cent more aids to navigation than 12 years ago, yet the work is being prosecuted under the direction of the present Department of Commerce at a reduc- ton of $44333, 700 and with practically the same number of employees that there were in 19lO Of the 6,O00 persons in the service only 39 are in Washington.
 Tine greatest peril to shipping is fog, and under the direction of Secretary Hoover the Lighthouse Service has installed radio fog signals on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and has equipped 20 lightships on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts with radio service. The 1ig}tships are the outermost signal stations of the service, being anchored in the open seas miles from the coast.

NEW LINE OF DIVISION SUGGESTED

The First and Third Divisions pay prac-
 tically all the taxes in the Territory and these taxes are applied broadcast over the
 other two divisions with the two large tax
 payers having little to say as to their use
 A new territory made out of the First
 Division, would decrease instead of in
 creasing Territorial expenses, but would
 increase Government expenditures. By
 dividing the Territory at point approNl-
 mately the IA degree of longitude, both
 territories would be benefited, the south
 being more compact and able to use it's
 money for it's own development, and the
 north by cutting down the distance to the
 capital by at least two weeks travel
 Seward Gateway.
 The line proposed by the Gateway would extend from the coast just west of Cape Sucking, along the western edge of Boring Glacier, over rugged snow-capped mountains across the Copper River & Northwestern Rail road east of Strelna, by Mt. Wrangell, Capital Mountain, through Mantasta and Gillett Passes, across the Goodpaster region and through mountainous country to the Yukon River near Circle, thence through the Porcu- pine district into the Arctic slopes touching the Arctic Ocean about Martin Point.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
 "You can't send your conscience to the laundry. Every man must wash his own soiled thoughts"
 A girls hair occupies all of her attention until she gets her first corset. And from then on her shape occupies all of her attention.
 As small portion of the public we wish to say that we ask none of the dividends paid by the rail road. All we ask is that the cinders keep out of our eyes and that the trains move faster than a walk of bread and less to make one now than it ever did before in the world. AND A sHIRT-TEARING CONTEST
 During Farm and Home Week at Manhattan at the agricultural college the horseshoe pitchers are to con- pete for prizes.
 Why not let the women have a washing contest, says an eX- change. Give a prize for the wo- man who can wash and break the most dishes.
 And then have burned steak con test by the Hired Girls Union. Give the prize to the hired girl who can turn a two-inch thick steak into a scorched, rubber in the shortest time.
 We know home here in COrdova in which the siXteen-year-old daugh- ter has seven beaus and the twenty six-year-old daughter never even has caller.
