R-3 WILL GARRY 200
 POUNDS OF MALL TO U. s.
stamp Collectors Make Rush To Get
 Letters On New Airship.

Friedrichshafen, Oct. 3.---In her flight across the Atlantic the ZR-3 will carry 200 pounds of mail which has accumulated Tn the Friedrich hs- hafen post office since last July, when the German postal authorities made the first announcement that post cards and letters might be sent 10 North and South America and Canada by the dlrigible route. The mail will be made up chiefly of cards and letters sent at the request of the collectors of postage stamps. In many instances Americans in Germany have. sent letters addressed to themselves.
 One letter has been addressed and stamped with the purpose of reach. ing San Francisco in record time. It will travel on the ZR-3 to Lake. hurst, New Jersey, and the be trans terred to the United States postal authorities for the ns-continental air service. This letter, sent by AL phonse Boutin, chief yeoman in the |. s. Navy, to a friend Otto von Geldern, a construction engineer in San Francisco, carried German stamps at one end and American postage at the other. with a request to the post office department to ex- pedite 1t. It is estimated that this letter may reach its destination, roughly 1000 miles, in six or seven days.

MASTER OF CHESS CLAIMED BY DEATH
Blackburn, One of Finest Tour,
 nament Players Of England

London, Oct. 3,---J. H, Blackburn, an outstanding figure In British chess, who was accounted one of the finest tournament players that ever lived, died recently at the age of S3.
 Blackburn received his early inspl- ration In chess from Paul Morphy, the American prodigy, whom he met in 1859. Then 1t was that he took up the study of chess with a self confidence born Of youth and genius, It IS said that no player twas ever more successful in exhibitions of blindfold and simultaneous play.
 In 1862 Blsckburn's success in an exhibition ofsbIindfold play In an in- ternational tournament in London against ten strong amateurs most astonished his critics. On that oc. casion he won five games and drew two. He was the first to meet 12 and then IS opponents without sight Of board and men, and at Baden Baden he was preparing to deal "blind-fold" with no fewer than 40 opponents when the Franco German war broke put and scattered the gathering Of players.

VENERABLE FANES
 VICTIMS ID B0RER
Beams of Ancient Buildings Be- ing Gradually Eaten Away

Peterborough, England, Oct, B. Peterborough Cathedral. the great Norman fame which was spared by Henry VIII when he was demolish. ing church property because 1t held the grave of his first wife, the ill-starred Katharine of Aragon. has fallen a victim of the death watch beetle.
 The a0oth anniversary of the foundation of this structure, whose west front has often been described as the finest portico in Europe, was celebrated ten years ago. Now 1t has been discovered that the death watch beetle, for how long 1t is un- known. has been silently eating awaysthe interior of the great oaken beams in the roof spaces of the choir, nave and transepts So great have been the beetles ravsges that the whole roof structure is in danger of collapse,
 The dean of the Cathedral has launched an appeal for S50.000 to remedy the defect. Probably an even greater sum will be needed for the work. This Is not the first ancient English structure to be endangered by the death watch beetle. Its ravages have been discovered in dog ems of the old Tudor and Norman roofs. Westminster Hall, built by William Rufus was reopened only last year, having been closed for eight years while craftsmen replaced the work of the mediaeval carpen- tsrs which had been gradually eaten away by the destructive beetle.
 The roof of Henry WITS banquet ing hall al Hampton Court Palace is now undergoing similar treatment for the came defect. It all shows what constant vigilance has to be exercised In preserving and renew ing the ancient English fabrics. There iS hardly an English cathedral which has not a force of masons constantly at work replacing decay cd and weather worn stone.

WILLIAM HOLLYWOOD

The death of William Hollywood occurred on April 23rd, and reminds us that death is a mighty leveler and is no respector of persons. This young man was only 35 years old and had every prospect for long life. But he was taken from us. His loved ones were at his side, his bro- ther John, his sister, Mrs. Harry Benolkin, his five children, and his mother. His brother, Pat, could not get to Sitka in time.
 During these days when frantic ap- peals are being made to arouse race prejudice against persons with h. dian blood in them, we can ill spare men like William Hollywood; for he was gentleman of better than av- craze intelligence among any class of people.
 His mother has lost son; his brothers and sister have lost fine brother; his children have lost a father; and Alaska has lost a good citizen. May we all perpetuate his memory and live, striving to put into practice the words of the inn mortal Lincoln, "With charity for all and malice toward none"

PAINTED GODS

The publication of the letter of Hon. H. T. Tripp to MT. J. T. Bar ron, the fish magnate, seems to have struck the public mind with greater force than was anticipated by the editor of this Journal.
 The letter is only the exposure of another Teapot Dome incident on a small scale. It was thought the public had become so callous to pol itical corruption of the Harding ap- pointees at the Capital that it could not be stirred by exposure of simi- lar proclivities among the local di- vinities.
 The Tripp epistle demonstrates ir- refutably that there is, and has been, in Alaska class of bipartisan poli-
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-05-15

tiicans ready and willing to barter away the public offices of the Ter ritory for coin-to turn over the political institutions of the country to those who can pay the most.
 This Is no surprise to those who have, these many years, battled for the rights of the people.
 There has never been an election contest in Alaska when the preda- tory interests seeking special privi- leges did not literally finance the bipartisan campaign.
 There never was campaign in Alaska when the bipartisan candi- date failed to mortgage himself in advance to the Interests"
 And, yet, by the average voter the seriousness of the battle of the bal lots has been only vaguely realized.
 The Tripp letter has aroused the confiding dupes of the painted gods in the community. They see now how nearly they came to being sold into bondage, and they are commenc- ing to appreciate what they owe to those men and women who have in the past fought for clean, decent government.
 Tripp is not one bit worse than the crowd he has been travelling with. Candor compels the admission that he is probably the best Of his companions.
 IL is rot without significance that leading bipartisans at this tine, with foldeo faces and saintly pastures, hasten to caution the public against suspecting political corruption in anybody else except those individuals clearly proven in the Teapot Dome inquiry to be guilty.

WRANCELL PETITION

We, the undersigned, are bona fide residents of the town of Wrangell, Alaska, have been informed that the White Fish Bill has passed the House of Representatives, and that this bill gives full control of Alaska Fisheries to the Secretary of Com merce, and prohibits the use of traps
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-05-15

or purse seines in any narrow bay, channel or estuary. By attaching hereto our signatures, we ask Con- gress i'll the strongest terms pos sible to strike out of the bill the prohibition against the use of purse seines, for the following reasons:
 1. The depletion of our fisheries has not been due to purse seines, but has been due to traps.
 2. That there is no comparison between the two methods of fishing, as depletion has invariably followed the introduction of the trap around our fish streams, whereas this was not true during the years when all fish were caught with purse seines.
 3. That the restriction on the traps would allow an escapement of millions of fish to perpetuate the future runs, and the burden would fall on very few people; whereas
 4. The restriction on purse seines would virtually destroy this town of Wrangell, town of nearly one thousand people; and would also de- stroy by reducing to starvation the Native Indians in southeastern AL aska who now live in fourteen vill- ages and number over 5000, and would drive out of Alaska several thousand white seiners.
 5. The testimony of I. N. Hylen and Andrew Furuseth, both of San Francisco, California, to the effect that the purse seine and trap are equally destructive and wasteful, is false and was offered by gill net ters of Bristol Bay, two thousand miles from this District where we live almost entirely by seining; and we call the attention of Congress to the fact that their charges against the trap is true because based on their own experience, whereas the falseness of their charges against purse seines is, as they so state, outside oi 1helr experience.
 Signed by over 400 residents.
