shine Society-News In The
 Churches For Sunday--Sued For
 $500 By Berlin Man-Other Items
 The man who started out with a sky hook to bring down the moon had his counterpart in Berlin this morning when man climbed the of the Kensington Congregational church steeple to see the eclipse. He saw the eclipse marveled at its glory, as friends and neighbors stood on the ground below and watched the eclipse with one eye while they risked the other on him.
 All of Berlin, East Berlin and kensington turned out in masse to see the glory of the heavens as the moon got in front of the dominating power of the great solar system and shut off the lights for approximately two minutes.
 The eclipse was without doubt the most beautiful natural phenomenon ever witnessed by residents of this section. From 8 o'clock in the morn ing until the last tiny crescent dis appeared at 10:30 o'clock people stood on street corners, verandas and , tackyards and looked through smoked glasses, kodak films and other eye shields at the great spectacular show.
 They stood on top of Turkey hill and Morris hill. They stood at the pailroad station. They stood--but then there were groups of people wherever there was a good vantage spot. The man who climbed the church steeple had d good look, but he didn't sec any more than the Ilainville man who climbed Sunset Rock with d lantern.
 From the time the moon first started to cross the face of the until the sun was totally eclipsed and q great flaming circle had come and gone and the sun again had re- turned to it's place as monarch of the sky, Berlin people were almost enthralled. They gazed with emo- ton and reverence as the streaks of red and green and gold and blue gathered along the horizon and fad ed away with the cold gray dark rCSs of totality aS the whole world semed to go to sleep. Business came to a standstill. motors ceased their busy hum in factories automobiles stopped and for at least two minutes nothing moved but the mercury in the thermometer. which made a sudden drop while the sun was obscured.

The possible sustained yearly output, 1000. OO0,0OO board feet, is sufficient to produce not less than 1.300,0O0 tons news-print paper. Surveys of undeveloped wa ter power sites disclose a potential water power capacity of 475,000 h.p. in Southeastern Alaska alone while only 433,OO0 h.p. would be required to produce the maximum amount of news-print contained in the possible annual output from the National Forests.
 Contrary to popular opinion maintenance of National Forests in Alaska has not proven expensive to the government. The total receipts from timber sales. leases. etc. on the National Forests of the Territory from the time the forests were
 
 1909, up to and including the fiscal year 1925. were $1.134,977. During the same period the total expendi- lures on these forests amounted to s1,122.415.

Fisheries Continue to Lead

The fishery industries continued to be the most important in the Territory. The value of its pro- ducts, which aggregated s39,5S4,- S37 increased about per cent over 1923, the expansion being chiefly in the herring fisheries. Labor finds it's greatest source of employment in the fisheries. Owing to the sea- sonal nature of the employment fur nished by the salmon and herring industries, the building of a perma- nent population has been retarded. This has not only been a detriment to the Territory, but has added to the burden of both industries since they have found it necessary to inn port labor from long distances to a large number of districts. Governor Parks suggests that the evolution of a plan for diversified fishing, ca pablo of providing almost continu- ous employment, may solve this problem and bring about a substan- tial increase in the permanent pop ulation of the coastal regions. As an instance he cites that enormous cod-fshing banks are located along the coast of Alaska Despite the easy availability of this valuable food fish, the cod-fsh products for the year were less than s10O,0O0. IL is possible, he said, by careful planning to increase this many fold.

Timber Utilization Small

While receipts from resources within the National Forests of Alas ka showed a healthy growth for the year, the Territorys timber indus try continues to be but a small fac tor in its industrial life, and the annual returns from the forestes in finitesimal when possibilities for development and utilization of the forest resources are realized In the calendar year 1924 the timber cut from the National Forests aggre- gated 52,500,0OO board feet, and the total cut since 1909, when the National Forests in Alaska were created. has been 5S2,O00,0OO board feet. In accord with the fixed policy of the government to en- courage utilization of forest re- sources to point equal to the av- craze yearly growth of timber. the annual cut from the Alaska forests should aggregate 100000, 900 board feet. In other words. the total volume of timber production in the past sixteen years Is about of the growth annually.

Alaska Gaining Ground, Says
 Gov. Parks
In His First Annual Re. port to the Secretary
 of the Interior

Alaska continued to progress in- dustrially during the past year, said Governor George A. Parks in his first annual report, to the Secretary of the Interior, just made public.
 While this advancement is slow, as in the past two years. it is nev- ertheless steady.
 Encouragement is found in the fact that the fisheries, mining and forest industries produced larger re- turns than in the preceding year, and plans for greater development seem to be working out satisfac- torily.

Fox Farming

Fox farming is annually increas- ing in importance in the Territory's industries, the total value of i'm provements in stock on these farms is estimated at about s6,000.000. There are approximately 391 farms containing more than 36,000 foxes of various species. Governor Parks urges the enactment by Congress of a suitable law providing for the leasing of lands in the Public Do

Mining Resumption Noted

During the year a gradual re- sumption in both placer and lode mining was apparent in all parts of the Territory. The total mineral production for the year had value of s16,S55.sOS. The production of gold exceeded that of 1923. Pros pectors were encouraged by several new discoveries, and the consolida- tion and renewed activities of some of the larger dredging companies have stimulated the quest for low grade placer ground. Governor Parks recommends more liberal laws for the development of low grade gravels in the Territory. The existing law, he points out was de- signed to prevent the monopoliza- tion of bonanza ground, and works a hardship on capital seeking to de- velop areas of low grade ground which cannot be profitably worked except by large scale operations. The gold lode mining industry of the Territory showed a healthy de- yelopment and the increase in gold output for the year was due mainly to the activity in the lode mines. particularly in Southeastern Alaska. While benefits to the gold mining industry following the completicn of the Alaska Railroad have been rather slow to appear in the produ ,- tion of gold, significant develop ments are now in progress which, with an increase in prospecting will eventually lead to augmented gold returns.
 The production of copper mines was materially smaller than in 1923. This resulted from unsatisfac- tory market conditions, which pro- vided no stimulus for enlarged ope- rations.
 Coal production likewise expe- rienced a decrease, but extensive explorations are being carried on which point to increased produc- tion and wider distribution of Alaskan coal in the near'future.
 The Katalla oil fields continue to be the only producing fields in the Tertiary. However, exploration in other districts was carried on by some of the larger companies. Wells are being drilled in the Cold Bay district by the Standard Oil Com pany of California and the Associa- ted Oil Company Geologic aud to- pographic surveys lying within Ma val Petroleum Reserve No.4 on the Arctic slope were made by govern ment agencies during the year. Def mite results of these surveys can- not be determined until office and laboratory studies have been made of the data and technical informa- tion thus obtained.

Concerning Seal Revenues

Tt would be a great benefit to Alaska if a part of the returns from the sale of seals and foxes could be given to the Territory for the main tenance and extension of the public school system outside of incorporat- ed towns" said the Governors re- port.

Fishing Under Regulation

All fishing operations were car ried on under the regulations pro- mulgated by the Secretary of Com merce as authorized by the Act of June 6, 1924. The Department of Commerce increased its field force to take care of the added responsi- bilities bestowed on it under that law by Congress, and the Commis- sioner of Fisheries personally re- mained in the Territory most of this season observing conditions and studying the working of the new law ands department regula- tions.
 Conservation of the halibut re- see,rces was attempted for the first time in 1924 when the North Pacif- ic Halibut treaty became effective Under this, halibut fishing was suspended for three months begin ming November 16, 1924. The closed season did not affect adverse ly- the production in this industry as the catch showed a considerable increase over that of 1923.
 The census of the seal herd on the Pribil0f Islands indicated a sub stantial gain, and the revenue de- rived from the sale of seal skins was more than s7OO,00O. Tn addi- tion, the sale of blue and white fox skins in 1924 taken from the herd maintained on the same islands amounted to about $50,OOO.

main outside of the National For ests for fox farms.
 The same laws. he suggests, should be made aplicable for rein- deer growers, "The native reindeer herds.' said Governor Parks, "are supervised by the Bureau of Educa- tion and if they are to be protected in their ranges we must have a law that will enable the Secretary of Interior to allocate and lease the grazing lands" There are approxi- mately 30O,000 animals in the Alaskan reindeer herds. two-thirds of which belong to the Eskimo. With the start thus made. and with present improved refrigeration methods employed by the transpor- tation companies. 1t is possible at no distant date reindeer meat ex- ported from two hundred thousand square miles of barren portions of northern and western Alaska will prove to be valuable asset to the Territory. It is estimated these sec tions of Alaska could furnish pas turage for some 4.OOO. 900 reindeer.
 The Balance of Trade
 The balance of trade for the year remained in favor of Alaska. Pro- ducts of it's industries shipped to the States aggregated in value s55.440,645. while the value of all commodities brought into the Ter ritory from the States amounted to s33.621,S69 leaving balance in favor of Territory of s27,42O,ss5.

made.
The decision was greatly regretted
by Mrs. Campbell, who had hoped the
contest would result in a patriotic
song that would be suited especially
for community singing and would be-
come well known in every American
home.
She declared, however, that the
high spirit of patriotism expressed in
the songs submitted was most inspir-
