refused to buy. The retailer was left with inferior grades of fish, and could not stock the good qualities until he disposed of the inferior stock. In case superior qualities were bought elsewhere by the consumer, the deal- CT was obliged to destroy his infe- rior stock.
 Not only is the inexperienced pack CT a menace to the trade, but his pres ence is felt in the we'll established salteries. The fishermen and gibbers are paid by the barrel. The gibbers of the inexperienced packer are kept busy, the packer being out for quan- tity instead of quality, while the help of the well established saltery who cures only first-call goods, remains idle, the packer in many instances having to recOmpenSe them to avoid trouble When good quality fish are caught suitable for Matte cure, the in experienced packer, out for Quan- tity only, accordingly keeps his gib- be to loose much time, so he ships his seasticks to Seattle to be ref1lled. "Seasticks" is a term used in describ- ing the pack on completion of the first refilling operation. I would like to be informed if Matte requires given number of days to cure, how this would-be packer can Matte cure his pack, when they have been ten or more days in transit? The packer never sees the condition of his fish on arrival in Seattle and knows noth- ing of their quality. The experienced 'in seastick," it is in the process of cure
 In the fall of 1924 the writer shipped seasticks from Halibut Cove, but not the Matte cure, as these fish are a Cove not being favorable, the weather being too cold. Shipping these fish to Seattle improved them considerably. I believe that unless the inexperienc- ed packer is prohibited from dumping inferior goods upon our market we will gradually lose our trade. I would suggest that before a person can op- crate a saltery ill Alaska, they be ex- amined by efficient Government in spectors as to their ability to cure herring.
 If this be done our great Alaska would have a chance to flourish in her rising new industry.
 Have We Waning Industry in
 Prince William Sound
 This question is often brought to my attention, and many fellow pack CTS, business men and fsherworkers contend that the fish are falling off, with consequent smaller pack. Per sonally I do not agree with their con tentions, for some people come to such conclusions before they have studied the situation from any or every angle The year 1924 was the first year of a so-called scarcity of herring simply because they were difficult to locate Herring, unlike salmon, do not search for fresh water in which to spawn Therefore, their location is more diff ficult

 EN ROUTE SOUTH
 REINDEER MEAT
BUREAU OF EDUCATION VESSEL SUPPLIES JUNEAU MARKET
 -SOUTH FROM ARCTIC

With 400 reindeer carcaasses on board about 30 of which have been sold to Juneau markets for local consumption, the U. s. Bureau of Education power boat Boxer, Capt s. T. L. Whitlam, master, arrived at Juneau last week, according to the Juneau Empire, en route from Point Barrow to Seattle, completing the second trip into the Boring Sea country this year. The vessel occa- sionally, while southbound, calls into Seward, but did not this year.
 The Boxer also has seven passen- gers aboard, five of whom are Blu reau school teachers returning to the States after service in the north and two are residents of Nome.
 Juneau is the first port of call made by the Boxer except a stop at King Cove to take on water, since the vessel left St. Lawrence Island, October 21. Stops will be made at the Alaska points south of here for selling reindeer meat. This is the fourth trip Capt, Whitlam has made into Juneau with the Boxer.
 Stormy Weather.
 The Boxer is about three weeks behind schedule and was delayed on account of stormy weather and heavy surfs through September and October which made it difficult to land supplies at the various points along the north coast, Capt. Whit lam said
 This season has experienced a most unusual ice condition in the north according to Capt. Whitlam There was no ice at Point Barrow when the Boxer left there the latter part of August and none was seen on the southbound trip until the vessel neared Juneau. The ice floe in the Arctic was far up in the northeast and was late in coming south.
 The passengers aboard the Boxer going to Seattle are: Mr. and Mrs. w. L. Wright, who have taught at Shungnak the past two years and their six months old daughter; MT. and Mrs. c. l.. Andrews who have tn1 Irrh ct Toi xy>fcy I,n acf year; Dr. w. H. Cage who has been in charge of the hospital at Noorvik the past two years; Mrs. Allen, wife of Capt Alex. Allen, owner and opreator of the motorship Donaldson on the St. Michael-Nome mail route; Mrs. Ira M. Rankin, wife of the boat operator and merchant of Nome. Captain Allen is bringing the Donaldson south at the present time and should arrive in Juneau in about a week en route to Seattle.
 Reindeer Industry Good.
 The reindeer industry among the Eskimos in the North is constantly growing, Capt. Whitlam said. Should the present rate of increase continue the local market will be unable to take care of the output and an in crease in supply to the outside mar kets will be necessary in his opin- ion. A cargo of about 5000 car casses were shipped to the States this year, the Captain said, and of this number about 2,5O0 were ship

ARMISTICE DAY

Seven years ago the bloodiest war
IN the worlds history was ended!
The seventh anniversary of Novem
Der IL, 1913, should challenge US with
Its big lesson. For seven years we
have been demonstrating to oursel-
yes and to the rest of the world that
we can live in harmonious love and
peace with one another when we are
lighting and killing and dying, but
that when we are neither fighting nor
killing, on battlefield, or man-of-war,
we are fussing and tuning and hating
and jostling one another and hurting
ourselves.
If the dead can hear; if the dead
can see; if the dead can speak; those
who sleep in foreign cemetery, as
well as those who are buried in the
United States, would chorus to us,
with uplifted hands, peace, be still,
at home"
May Armistice Day Of 1925 bring
a silidifcation of the people of the
United States of America, for the
glory of the flag and the integrity,
restoration, peace and happiness of
al the individuals who live beneath
its folds.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
SUSPENDS ROAD WORK
One Crew Men on Northfork- Aonta-

ing Of Spring; 21a Miles Of Road
Is Roughed In.

| A. L. Cramer, who has been with
the Craven Construction company
this summer, with others employed
on the Northfork Montana highway
arrived in Salmon Monday with the
word that work on the road near the
summit had been suspended because
Of severe weather and heavy snow
fal. Sub-contractors, A. w. Wilson
and George Walden, both In camps on
lower levels, will continue work for
the winter with about 40 men en-
ploved. The steam shovel is now In
winter quarters in the camp three
miles from the summit
Two miles of road is practically
completed from the summit westward
The construction work was late IN
getting started but proceeded rapidly
when the equipment was on the
ground. One large fill Of 1000 cubic
yards has been completed and about
half of 1900 cubic yard FIJI is done
and vii befnished when work begins
in the spring.
This is the first federal aid road in
this district which calls for super
elevation on curves. This project call
for a 16-foot bed and IS feet on fills
Mr.. Cramer made the statement that
one could not estimate the value to
this county of the building OF this
highway. The scenery increases IN
beauty, the highway passing through
a solid stand of lodgepole pine on
five per cent maximum grade In hair
pin curves from base to summit.
This will be one Of the most scenical-
lv beautiful roads In the country and
the very best in construction 1t
will be a high gear road and the su-
perelevated curves will eliminate the
necessity of slowing down when round
ing curves.
Work will be resumed on the upper
grades, probably in June, but it is ex
pected this project will not be COM
pleted until late next fall.

Editor Messenger,
Chalis, Idaho.
Dear Sir
A letter has gone to your Cham
Der Of Commerce asking that organi-
cation to send delegates to a south
eastern Idaho conference to be held
in Pocatello on Saturday, November
18th.
Similar meetings are to be held in
Boise for the southwestern part of
the state and in north Idaho.
Delegates from the three conferen-
ces are to meet in Boise for DAYS
December 3-5 in an Idaho Industrial
Conference, the purpose of which is
to map out a plan of campaign for
needed national publicity for Idaho.
1t is to be regretted that the last
session of the legislature failed to
pass the county publicity bill and
the matter of the restoration of the
office of state commissioner of imi-
grafton.
1t is up to us, in so far is it is pos
sible to do so at this time, to make
up for the fact that these measures
were not enacted and to devise WAYS
and means to place Idaho before the
people of the country to the best adj
vantage and to provide fund for
that purpose during the year 1926
and to pave the way for the next ses-
sion of the legislature in order that
the matters may again be presented
and this time passed.
At the time of the Pocatello con-
ference the matter of laying before
the people of the country the excel
lence of the Idaho potato will be
taken up.
Will you give this matter some pub
licity and request the chamber of
comemrce of your town to send dele

BUBBLES AND MONEY

TN THIS country and Canada COM
= mon superstition is that bubbles
floating on a cup of tea or coffee sig
nifies that money is coming to you. In
some sections 1t is considered neces-
sary TO try and take up the bubbles in
a spoon; you will have as many dol
lars as you can catch bubbles. This
IS a remnant of the ancient magic art
of hydromancy, divination by a cup
of water as practiced by Joseph In
Egypt. See Genesis "A IS. Water
was used for divination by the Egyp.
tians because Isis was sometimes re-
garded as the earth when formulated
nv the waters of the NAe and vessel
of water was therefore carried In her
professions. In ancient times any
troubling Of the waters. in pool or in
q cup. was considered of significance
In modern necromancy the coffee cup
has succeeded to the divining cup of
Joseph and tea and coffee TO the fe-
cundating waters borne before Isis. But
as of old, the bubbles rising in our d.
vining cup mean something.
But why money? Because the in
fiuence of Egyptian mythology upon
Roman my thology was strong and
tho Ugh the sult of Isis was but slight
ly identified with the cult Of Juno; yet
Isis was the chief of the Egyptian god
