NOTED SALMON
 AUTHORITY IS
 ON HUGE TASK
DR. GILBERT OF STANFORD UNI- VERSiTY BACK IN ALASKA
 ON ANNUAL TRIP

Dr. C.. H. Gilbert, one of the fore most authorities on salmon in the United States; a member of the fac ulty ofssthe Stanford University at Palo Alto, California, and special in- vestigator of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, arrived in Seward yesterday from Karluk river. Dr. Gilbert re- turns to Karluk tomorrow. During his stay in town Dr. Gilbert is guest at the Hotel Van Glider.
 At Karluk the fishery department has flung a weir across the entire mouth of the river, and day and night a watchman is stationed there with a counter, checking the number of sal mon passing through. This in con- nection with certain problems which Dr. Gilbert has been engaged upon for a number of years. The latter part of next month he will go to the westward, to the Boring Sea along the coast to Port Moller, to continue the salmon tagging experiments which have been under way for the last few years. The purpose of tag ging them is to ascertain their move ments in the sea and in cases where the final destination is not known, the use of tags permits them to be tracd to their home streams.
 Four thousand salmon were tagged in 1923 and in 1924 the number was increased to 10000. But little tagging will be carried on in this district this year but in Southeastern Alaska number of thousands will be marked A special problem has been called to the attention of the fisheries depart ment, Dr. Gilbert said last evening, in the vicinity of Herenden Bay and Port Moller, and north of Bear river. There are those who believe the fish are exclusive Bear river fish and oth- CTS think the fish are part of the big Bristol Bay run. Dr. Gilbert proposes to tag 1000 salmon this summer to see if any are captured in Bristol Bay. The salmon are marked with alumni mum tags attached to the base of the tail. This work is almost instanta- neous and on an average, a crew of four men including himself, can tag about 100 fish minute, said the Doc tor.
 Through the identification method dog salmon marked and released at Unga in 1923 was caught ten weeks later in Siberia, 2,000 miles away. Each tag has stamped upon them, the words "U. s. B. F." with the date and serial number. It is commonly known that the fisheries bureau of fers a reward for the return of the

MEN
 OF (. P. CORPR.
 VISIT IN SEWARD
PROMINENT OFFICIALS OF BIG CALIFORNIA CANNERY COMPA- NY ON INSPECTION TRIP TO BRISTOL BAY PLANTS.

B. R. Hart, efficiency engineer of the California Packing Corpora tion of San Francisco arrived in Seward yesterday afternoon, a passenger on the A. P. A. ocean going tug, Chil- kat, Captain H. Hendricksen in com mand Mr. Hart is on his way to Bristol Bay, where the company he is employed by, operate several large canneries. A survey of the plants will be made. The general super vision of the cannemes is expected to keep him engaged until the early part of August at which time he will return to Seward en route to his California office.
 Speaking of the new fertilizing plant just installed at the Larson Bay cannery, Mr. Hart said the ma chine is practically automatic, and is one of the finest of it's kind he has yet seen. The fish oil extract ed from the fish is now used exten- sively in the manufacturing of soaps and paints, producing an exception ally high class product of this na- ture. Laboratory experiments and tests have been made of the oil by the company for the last three years, he said
 At the Larson Bay cannery there are about 300 employees on the pay roll. Indications point there will be good run of reds this season. Many pinks were packed last season but this season is not a pink year, MT. Hart said. According to the gov ernment weir records at Karluk to date, they have never been exceed ed, over 10000 going thru up to a few days ago.
 MT. Hart will await the arrival in Seward of H. J. Knight, assistant general manager of the Alaska Pack CTS Association, who is coming in on the Northwestern, due in port early tomorrow morning. MT. Hart and Knight will depart on the tug Chilkat for Iliamna Bay, disem- barking there, and go up and across the lake and down the river to Bris> tol Bay. MT. Knight is expected to leave the district on the next trip of the steamer Starr and will proba- bly, arrive back in Seward on the vessel The Alaska Packers compa- ny is a subsidiary company of the California company, it is stated.
 MT. Hart received a telegram last evening announcing the arrival on the Northwestern in the morning of H. B. Friele and Mir. Allen, attorney, both of the Atlantic and Pacific cor poration, and Frank Wright of the Carlisle Packing company. These gentlemen will accompany MT. Hart and MT. Knight to Bristol Bay.

wanted be surgeon.
 When Warren s. Stone completed his academic education in May, 1879, his father wanted him to take up the study of law, while the san was inclined toward surgery. As a sort of compromise, if it may be called that, the son, in September of the same year, began firing a locomotive on the Rock Island railroad out of Eldon, Iowa Whether he sacrificed distinguished career in law or sur gery will remain unanswered, but the work he chose eventually made him internationally known and a Header in two widely diversified fields-as head of an international labor organization and president of labor's first national banks in Am erica.
 One of the characteristics of MT. Stone in doing a thing was a deter imitation to do it as we'll as any one

could. In that spirit he began firing his locomotive and in that spirit he continued, although promotion was slow. He worked for five years and nine months at the firing job before he was promoted to engineer. Then he rounded out quarter of a cen tury on the road by putting in 1s years and three months at the throt- tie in freight and passenger service.
 Through all those years Mr. Stone had innate executive ability, for the display of which he had little oppor- tunity in the locomotive cab. But he had shown it in the councils of his fellow engineers and while still holding his job in the cab was called upon in August, 1903, to fill the posi- ton of grand chief of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Locomotive En-

RUSKIN COLONY
STRONG FOR The
DAILY WORKER
Kluxers Have Rifles, So
Have CoIonists
BY M. ZENlN.
Especial to The Daily Worker)


TAMPA, Fla, Feb. S.--Yesterday l
visited Ruskin, Fla, town that was
organized about Is years ago as a
socialist colony by McCay Miller and
Dr. Emery Of Toledo, Ohio Tho the
leaders have turned yellow and are
not known any more to the revolu
tionary movement, their followers
have remained hard boiled reds.
According TO Aaron r. Long, a
miserable stunt performed by the or.
ganizers of the colony, was discovered
only few days ago. When the ground
was sold to the members they were
assured that there are no mortgages
of any kind on these grounds, and
now after many years had gone by,
ia genuine heavy mortgage was pro-
duced on the ground of James R.
Walker, one Of the colonists, and the
rest them are now anticipating the
same surprises in the near future.
1t is believed here that the introduc.
ton of a mortgage to one member OF
the colony is just trick thru which
the people responsible for these mort.
cages hope to beat the colony, one by
one, but the colonists are no fools,
and are beginning to organize in order
to put up strong fight.

sympathizer of the Workers Party, the
