MUST DECIDE ON
ROAD PROGRAM
Committee Which Organizes in jan
uary Must Determine Langth
of Building Period

The new state highway committee,
which organizes in January with
Governor-Elect Roland H. Hartley
and w. G. Potts joining Auditor C.
w. Clausen, the pioneer member Of
the board, will be obliged to deter
mine early whether a two or four
year building program will be SUBJ
mitted to the legislature. Heretofore
a two-year program has been pro-
posed and the. policy may not be
changed.
An enormous saving in highway
construction costs could be effected
if it were not necessary to suspend
work at the approach of each legisla-
tive session.
Highway contracts can be awarded
in the middle of winter at vastly low
er figures than can be obtained in
the spring when the contractors have
other work in progress. At this per-
iod of the year contractors are hungry
for jobs on which they can plan to
use their equipment during the COM
ing season. The highway department
cannot take advantage of the best
time to award new contracts because
work cannot be awarded unless au-
thorized by the legislature and mon
ey provided for it. An earlier start
on new work also could be had in the
spring.
If the revenues from motor vehicle
licenses and gas taxes continue to in
about $15,0OO,O00 Of state and federal
crease as they have in the past, the
incoming administration will have
aid funds to apply to road construc-
ton during the next two years. Fed
eral aid will amount to $1,113,O00 .

There is no means Of fortelling just

EXPERT SPEAKS ON
MARKET PROBLEMS
Wilfred Eldred, of University of
Washington Talks on Cooper
alive Enterprises

Cooperative marketing is not a
panacea for all the ills Of agriculture;
but with proper safeguards, under
proper condition, and undertaken in
the proper frame of mind, it may
help toward the development Of a
permanently prosperous American
agriculture.
This statement was made by VIII
liam Eldred, professor of business
administration at the University of
Washington before the fifteenth
annual convention of the Western
Washington horticultural association,
in Everett short time ago.
Professor Eldred is the new expert
on problems of food marketing re-
emily added to the business admin
istration staff of the state university,
who is to devote part of his time to
practical work in aiding Washington
farmers in the solution Of their eco
nomic problems.
AS basic principles in the establish
ment of successful cooperative enter
prises, DR.. Eldred laid down the
following points:
1. The word cooperation has no
magic in itself. A cooperative yar-
keting is no stronger than the indi-
viduals who compose its member
ship.
2. Successful cooperative market
ing must grow out of real need.
3. The volume of goods produced
must be sufficient to make it worth
while to incur the expenses of or
ganization.
4. A cooperative marketing assoc
citation must be willing to employ
competent management, and to give
the manager authority and respon-
sibility.
Members of cooperative market
ing associations sometimes expect too
much in the way of results in the
early stages" DR.. Eldred said. "When
these results are not forthcoming,
they become discouraged, and attempt
to dictate to the management. With
out attempting to give advice on this
point, it may be in order to offer the
suggestion that possible disappoint-
ment may be avoided by not setting
ones hopes too high"
DR.. Eldred said that one method
of holding together the members Of
a cooperative association, and at the
same time assuring fairly definite
volume of business, is through the
use of membership contracts binding
their members to sell their products
through the association for q period
Of years.

Nearly twice thousand years have

THE NEW YEAR

THE spring has sprung, the summer
i has summed, the winter has come
with few incidental happenings and
some relatively important matters
being pushed to one side or the other,
the New Year enters.
Yes, the new year is here and ev-
cry one Of US can see something in
his last years program that he did
not accomplish. Not only in personal
matters is this true, but in civic af-
fairs as we'll.
Individual work and the working
out of individual problems would
seem to be altogether personal. 1t is
not so. No matter in what line Of
business or activity you are in, the
rest Of the community is affected by
your work, the manner in which you
perform your duties to your business.
Performing duties to your business
is all that is expected of any merchant
and If he does that one thing, if all
the shop keepers and store keepers
do that one thing, it would mean the
realization of the ideal.
What are the duties of the busi-
ness? Let us class them under three
heads, Duties to your business, duties
to your business associates and duties
to your town.
Duties to your business is the MAX
ing of your store or shop the trading
center in your line. That is, making
your place Of business place where
people will be glad to come and trade.
A place where they will not meet all
kinds of pessimism, but on the con-
trary will fall into an atmosphere of
friendly optimism-a place where the
average public wants to trade, re-
membering that there was never a
customer won by saying business is
rotten"
If it were not for the business peo-
pie around you, there would be no
place for the line that you represent.
It is absolutely necessary that these
people pull with you in obtaining bus
mess and to maintain the trade that
you are already enjoying. Get ac-
quainted with them; learn their view
points, their methods of business,
give your opinions and take theirs
into consideration. It will help you
as well as helping them and your
daily routine will be more of pleas
ure to perform.
The third head is contained within
the boundaries of the first two. What
will become of the town If every mer-
chant will follow the last two para
graphs 1t would mean that we would
have line of stores and shops up
and down this street of ours that
have, for their business principles,
those things that spell success to the
individual, to his associates, and to
the town that he lives in.
We have fine town, we have good
people in it, we have every advantage
that locality could ask for. Let's
rub our elbows together and make
our business center nothing but a
great big democratic business house.

Seward daily gateway., 1925-12-05
(By Special Gateway Correspondent)
 KATHERINE G. KANE.

From a limited research for infor- nation regarding the life and habits of the whale, we find no authentic knowledge on this subject. Science does not give us the origin or age of this leviathan of the deep; neither do we know to certainty the where abouts of it's habitation.
 If we turn to primitive history of the whales we find a similarity to many marine mammals such as the sea-otter and some species of seals, but no corresponding lines exist to show any relationship to these.
 In the whaling area of the North Pacific ocean there are five distinct specie of the whale family, of which the Blue Whale or Sulphur bottom is the largest. This gigantic animal at tains a length of 100 feet, and about 30 feet high, and weighs approximate ly 100 tons, or one ton to the foot. Nature has provided him with great caudal fin, and a pair of flukes or flippers of about twenty-five feet in length, these with the dorsal fin and a powerful tail to act as steering guide, enables him to swim at ter rife speed.
 The Sperm, next in size with it's immense head and mouth that could comfortably house small family, is valuable for the sperm oil, and one full size sperm whale will produce 200 drums of no gallon each, of oil of which there are three grades. The purest oil is found in tanks or huge cells formed in the head. The sec ond grade is taken from the pure white layer of fat that lies just under

put of canneries and fishermen, but for equipping them.
 Other records for 1924 in the fish industry show:
 Halibut landed in Seattle 7,91S,495 pounds, valued at $1,235,000; number of schooners arriving $50. For 1928 pounds landed, S,1S1,250; value, $1,. 194,115; schooners arriving, S96.
 Mixed cod landed in Seattle in 1924 2,S24,OOO pounds; value $136,5OO; in 1923, 2,46O,0OO pounds, value, $151,. All.
 Money from the fishing industry is all new money. To the producers last years salmon pack was worth $40, OOO,0OO. The season ends in the fall Last year for the first time closed season on halibut fishing went into ef feet November 15, continuing until February 16, 1925, in accordance with an act of Congress and a treaty with Canada.
 5000 Men In Industry.
 Nearly 5000 men are given employ ment in the North Pacific canned sal

mon industry whose fleet totals about 125 vessels. The halibut fleet totals 210 vessels, valued at $2,000,000 and gives employment to 1500 men, A majority of all this army of employ es are paid off here or return to Se- attle after being paid off in the North and spend the bulk of their earnings in this city.
 The most extensive cod banks in the world are found on the Alaskan coast. More than 50 fertilizer and oil plants are operated on the Pacific coast producing vast quantities of fish meal, fertilizer, herring and sardine oils and other fish oils. New markets for sablefish or black cod and fish paste and fish balls are features of recent development in the industry.
 The United States commissioner of fisheries reported the Alaska herring industry in 1923 worth $1,6O2,571. The U. s. collector of customs at Juneau reports the 1924 production as 19,- 369,O93 pounds, valued at $1,715,O15.
 Alaska shrimp output, 521,272 lbs, valued at $247,172.
 Last year seven whaling stations in Alaska caught 1102 whales produc- ing 1,934,45O gallons of whale and sperm oil, 242S tons of fertilizer, S26 tons of whalebone meal and tons of baleen

the skin and the third grade is taken from the vats where the flesh and bones are reduced to bone and meat meal. The flesh of the sperm is not edible as is the blue whale as his diet is composed of schools of the octopus, that requires the need of teeth to hold his prey, more than for mastica- tion. The number of teeth vary, but often a many as two hundred and forty teeth are found on the lower part, each tooth weighing from one, two and one-half pounds. This whale decomposes rapidly and must be taken to the station as soon as possible after being harpooned.
 The Right whale comes next in size and importance from which whale bone is obtained.
 The whale bone is not bone, but a gelataneous substance or gristle found in the mouth of every whale but es- pecially large in the Blue and Right whale. It hangs from the top of the mouth in huge sheets often fifteen feet long, with brush or broom-like ends, and these act as a screen to strain the food, as most whales live on fish, great quantities of these are taken at one time into their mouths together with barrels of water The fish are entangles in the meshes of this whalebone. The water is forced out of it's mouth without allowing the fish to escape and then they are swal- lowed at leisure. An idea of the size of whales mouth, it's tongue alone would fill room 2Ox15x10 and yields from fifteen to twenty barrels of oil besides many hundreds of pounds of fertilizer. The long prongs of this
