1 Leo Reinkin was tried before a commissioners court at Valdez last week charged with assault with dangerous weapon upon the person of T. J. Devinney.

 Halibut Cove, Alaska, is one of the greatest herring grounds in the world, according to c. B. Meyers, Seldovia caneryman who is at the Hotel But Ter, says the Seattle Post-Inteligen- cer. "Out of lagoon mile long and half mile wide, 22,000 barrels of herring were taken out during the past season. The fish rush into the lagoon in billions early in the winter to escape from the whales and seals. The lagoon is about forty fathoms in depth and is probably the crater of more or less extinct volcano. Occa- sionally gill netters bring up herring from the bottom cooked so thoroughly that the flesh drops from the bones.

E." which he used to engrave on the corner posts of his mining claims he gained the name of "North-East" Ohlsson, by which name he was generally known. Mr. Ohlsson was for a time assistant postmaster at Valdez and later was deputy U. s. Marshal at Girdwood.
 An order was issued by the Valdez city health officer recently, closing the public school and forbidding all children to attend moving picture shows or other public places. A case of measles appeared in the city and other persons are under suspicion.

ever, that the industry is in a much

Statistics for automobile produc-
ton during April indicated a IL per
cent curtailment as compared with
March. Reports regarding sales 10
users meanwhile disclosed a decrease
as compared with the same period

able weather was credited with hav-
ing caused a large part OF the re-

Railroad car loadings continue 10
run substantially below last years

primarily 10 the heavy decline in
coal loading. The amount OF general

all time. Even the total freight
movement IS above that in any other
year except 1923.
Money rates have eased further.
Call money on the New York stock
exchange fell 10 l. per cent and

diminished demand Tor accommo-

After rallying up 10 2-3 cents
early in the week, French francs
broke TO about rs cents on Thurs
day. Later they steadied to slightly
above cents. The early rise was
considered in the best quarters TO be
caused by operations connected with
the covering OF short contracts. The
later decline was believed TO be due
to an accumulated French demand

French Francs, Oil
And Steel Hold
Interest in Markets

New York. May II (Dy \. P.)--De-
velopments in the steel and oil in
dustries and wide fluctuations in
French fancs. We're the chief matters
OF interest in financial and business
circles last week. The statistics of
steel production for April showed a
substantial reduction in output as
compared with March. Pig iron pro-
duction also fell off sharply and the
number of furnaces in blast on May
l was Is per cent smaller than on
April !.
All OF this showed that the rapid
expansion in steel making which oc-
CURED during the first three months
of the year had been followed by an
equally rapid contraction.
The rate OF operation for the in
dustry as a whole is now only about
65 per cent of capacity as compared
with 90 per cent during March and
20 per cent in last December. The
rapidity with which the industry
has moved up and down IS explained
by the exceptional efficiency of the
industrial and transportation ma
chinery. When orders came in
heavily soon after the start of the
year the mills were able to speed up
the rate of production substantially
above that of consumption.
Assuming that consumption Of
steel products has been well main
tanned. Most observers believe that
the rapid contraction OF production
should restore the balance OF the in
dustry in a fairly short time. Never
theless. surprise was caused by the
on Saturday OF the fig
ures for the Steel Corporations I'M
flied orders. 4 loss Of $4,000 tons
was revealed as against previous es-
Inmates ranging from 100000 to 400
600.
Reductions IN crude oil prices,
which came on Saturday. were inter
preted as ref;fiecting an expansion Of
in the mid-continent field,
a slowing down in the industrial con-
oil and Disappointing con-
sumption OF gasoline on account OF

Conferees Agree
To July l Date
On Jap Exclusion

Washington, May 10-FaCed by the
apparently unalterable opposition of
the House to any delay in operation
or the Japanese exclusion provisions
of the immigration bill, conferences
upon the measure today again agreed
to make the exclusion section effec-
tive July l, 1924.
The agreement has. the effect of
eliminating completely the proposal
Of President Coolidge that this gov
eminent endeavor to negotiate the
abrogation of the gentlemen's agree
ment prior to the effective date Of
exclusion.
AS approved by the conference
committee the section prohibiting
admission of aliens ineligible to Citi
zenship stands as it came from the
House. The Senate version would
have made the section applicable
upon enactment of the bill.
