signed to perpetuate the industry We have no quarrel with the law nor with the Bureau other than that iron clad and inflexible pro- visions were put into effect without allowing leeway enough to handle industrial cases and were made ef- fective without sufficient notice to permit adjustment to meet the pro- visions.
 Many changes will doubtless be made and it is to be hoped that such conditions as those prevailing at Wrangell will be remedied. This is certain if sound, constructive states manship is brought to bear on the fisheries question instead of politi- cal grand standing. One thing it is we'll to keep in mind-serious damage cannot be done to any inte- gral part of an industry without hurting all of that industry.-Alas- ka Weekly.

WRANGELL'S PROBLEMS AS
 VIEWED BY A CONTEMPORARY
(The Alaska Weekyl)

What a vast difference it makes whose OK is gored Residents of Wrangell recently petitioned the U. s. Fish Commissioner, MT. Henry O'Malley, for an extension of the open period for fishing and repre- SC nted that the prosperity of the en- tire community was endangered by the present restrictions.
 The committee representing Wrangelll recently petitioned the efmen operating 40 boats would be hard hit and unable to pay for s45,- 900 worth of supplies purchased from wrangell merchants-a sad story indeed.
 We do not wish to be misunder- stood-we are not ridiculing the plaint of the purse-seiners of Wran- gell nor belittling the serious na- ture of their plight. Furthermore, we in common with the citizens of Wrangell, feel much more highly exercised over a loss sustained by resident fishermen than we do over the losses of outside packers and banks.
 But we cannot refrain from men, tioning the fact that these are the same people who vote the hardest for the men who are responsible and who cheer the loudest when the packer receives a body blow, how. ever foul that blow may be. And isn't the principle the same? packer constructs his trap outfit for the season, contracts for his la bor, and ships his supplies to the when wire comes which says Trap fishing is prohibited in Blanl Bay" Result s1OO,OOO loss. "Hoo ray" says the purse seiner, "fin' business"
 We maintain that it is might! poor business and serves no enc that justifies the means However it must be considered that the De partment of Commerce through tn, Bureau of Fisheries is honestly en deavoring to administer a law de

According to the text of the or der promulgated by the Department of Commerce on August 31 regulat- ing the fisheries on the West Coast of Prince of Wales and adjacent isl ands, the trollers will not be pro- hibited from fishing there after Sept. IA. Copies of the Juneau Elm pire received here contain the fol- lowing, labeled as the text of the order: Commercial fishing for sal mon, except by trolling, is prohibit ed within the waters of the west coast of Prince of Wales island from Point Baker to Cape Chacon, includ. ing the waters of adjacent islands from midnight of Sept. IA, to mid. night of October 31, 1924.
 Under the original regulations this Territory is closed to all forms of commercial fishing for salmon from August 25 to Sept.

HORSE POWER

Horse power or "H. P" is so fire.
quently used that many have been
puzzled as to just what it means and
how the words were originated.
The originator of the term "horse-
power" was a Scotch engineer, James
Watt (1736-1819) who invented the
modern condensing steam engine.
He selected heavy dray horse, a
dozen muscular men, and by means of

pines and sold them on that basis.
That is known as mechanical horse
power.
745,94O watts is equivalent in cleo
trio units to one mechanical horse
power; in practical calculations the
basis of a horse power, however, is
TAG watts, hence a kilowatt (1,OOO
watts) represents .1.3405 horse power
of mechanical work.

Frankly Discussing
Natural Gas Facts
From San Francisco to Atlantic City
and Thousand Miles at Sea

must be made in pipe, fittings, meters
and labor of their installation, addi-
tional gas must be found to fill these
additional pipes, and service must be
rendered to increased numbers of con-
Sumers, from many of whom sufficient
income can not be received to cover the
cost of service, much less any recovery
of the amount of investment made in
their behalf.
Let us briefly analyze conditions as
they exist today in regard to extensions.
A careful survey of the towns and cities
we serve discloses that there are now
4,76o houses, occupied and unoccupied,
and vacant lots provided with gas serv-
ice facilities but consume no gas. A
distressingly heavy investment COM
bined with supervision, incident leak
age and repairs, and accident hazard,
that does not bring us in a single
nickel. Much of this was forced upon
the company on account of street paw
ing and other municipal improve
ments. When streets were paved we
were forced to either take our lines
from the streets, or to run stubs out
beyond the curb before vacant lots,
whether there was prospect of building
near or remote, and today there are
thousands of these stubs that cost us
good money, through no fault of our
own, nor through any desire on our
part to make the investment from
which we receive no earning. On top
of all this it is sought to compel US to
continue to make new extensions, to
stub out for vacant lots on streets being
improved, to keep and sustain service
to houses whose occupants use no gas,
and to vacant houses so that transient
occupants may have service at bur-
densome loss to the company.
Some means must be provided that
will allow the company to recover at
least part of such expense, inde-
pendent of the price paid per unit of
measurement for gas or very SUBJ
stantially higher price must be re.
ceived for gas alone
If we are compelled to make .exten.
sions, means must be provided to en-.
able us to do so, without making the
cost of gas so high as to curtail its use
to such an extent as to reduce our in
come to an insufficient sum to sustain
our activities.

IF all the pipe lines of The Logan
Gas Company were connected end
to end they would reach from San
Francisco, on the shores of the Pacific
Ocean, to Atlantic City and extend for
thousand miles out into the Atlantic
Ocean-"Some pipe" but no "pipe"
dream.
Three thousand eight hundred miles
of pipe, ranging in sizes from eighteen
inches to one and one-quarter inches in
diameter, are required to keep you sup
piled with natural gas. But that is only
one part of the story: Thousands and
thousands of tons of couplings, ellis, tees,
valves, gates, taps, saddles, regulators,
costing kings ransom are also in
cluded in the pipe equipment. Nor is
that all that is to be told, because it re-
quired the digging of three thousand
eight hundred miles of trench to install
this pipe. This trench digging had to
be done in every conceivable condition
of soil and rock formation, up hill and
down, across streams, swamps and bogs
through forest groves and treeless
wastes, and through paved and un-
paved city streets, and under railroad
and trolley tracks. And after that came
the "pipe-liners" The "skinners" with
their teams hauled the pipe on wheels
whenever possible, and "snaked" it one
joint at time the balance of the way
Then the brawny boys, with the big
tongs, bucked the screw-pipe together,
and connected up the plain end pipe
with patent couplings The pipe was
tested, trenches back-filled, and pipe
system of the company was complete
There is still one thought in this con-
nection, and that is that the cost of all
this material and labor would be al
most fifty percent more today than in
the years in which it was done, and that
Is what it is actually worth today, be-
cause it has been kept in efficient use
able condition by constant inspection
and repair.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
now have three thousand eight hundred
miles of pipe involved in supplying
constantly diminishing amount of gas
to an increasing number of consumers
at declining profit, we are constantly
urged to make extensions of lines to
outlying additions in nearly every COM
munity we serve. Additions to our
lines mean that additional investment

mending Violence

ROME, Nov. 2S. Premier Benito
Mussolini faced fresh trouble Of
serious proportions today as a
tremendous sensation swept Italy
with new disclosures Of methods Of
violence used by Fascist against
their political opponents.
General Balbo, commander-in.
chief Of the black shirts militia, an
nounced he would resign following
publication of letters written by
him counseling terrorism as the
best weapon in support Of fascism.
A letter from General Balbo to
friends in Farrara ordered the
systematic Gaming of political
opponents to force them to leave
the city, according to the expose
in the Roman press.
The letter was written in August,
1928, during the trial of an action
brought by the general against the
newspaper Voce Republican, 1t
ordered that the letter be shown to
the project and the royal district
attorney in order that they refrain
from prosecution of the fascist
using the cane, and from protecting
the victims Of the attacks.
Other sentences in the letter
insinuate that General Balbo's
action was In accordance with the
wishes Of a higher authority.
Parliamentary circles seethed
with the sensation today, and ii
was reported in political circles that
Premier Mussolini was much dis.
turbed over the expose, which he
regarded as furnishing new am.
munition to the foes of Fascism.
