 Gain.

The Bristol Bay Salmon pack for 1925 totals approximately 6OOO0O cases. This is about 2S per cent un- der the pack for 1924 which amounted to SO7,S94 cases.
 The district last season showed contrast between the two sides. On the Nushagak side 100000 cases were put up, gain of 25 per cent over last year, which the loss on the Kvichak-N -Naknek-U Ugashik side, where only 100000 cases were put up, was about 50 per cent.
 The entire pack for the district including Port Moeller, False Pass and Herendeen Bay lower on the AL aska Peninsula, should be around the million case mark. This will be some what less than last season when production of 1,230,000 cases was made. There is no cause for alarm over the situation as similar fluc- tuations have been experienced by the canning industry in that region in past years, it was stated. In 1919 there was small pack and the 1920 pack was but little better. For the next three years there was an in crease. Losses were reported last

UJNALASKA IS GREAT SEAPORT
 TO WESTWARD
CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY AT FAR WESTWARD PORT-OCCU-
 PIES STRATEGIC SITE

Unalaska is to the Westward what Tahaiti is to the South Sea Islands It is practically the headquarters for the famed North Pacific Patrol of U. s. cutters and is the center of the trading fleet which operate around the Aleutian chain of islands to the Arctic ocean.
 Survey boats, engaged in making maritime charts, are constantly ply ing in and out of Unalaska. These craft consist of the geological sur vey steamers Pioneer, Explorer, Bear and the Discoverer. Among the trad ing fleet these vessels are numbered; ; schooner Everett Hays, explained by MT. Goss; the gas schooner Shu- magin which belongs to U. s. Com missioner Bolshannin; schooner En- ma, Captain Schroeder, schooner Hal leys; auxiliary schooner Daisy be- longing to the Aleutian Livestock Company, which company operate a sheep ranch at Chernoffski, Unalaska island and from which the finest wool in the world is shipped from. A quantity of the long fibred wool from this port was brought to Sew ard on the steamer Starr last fall, and reshipped to the States. The trading fleet is soon to be augment ed by the schooner Iskum, Captain Larson. This boat has been operat- ing in the Siberian trade.
 Vessels bound from Seattle to the Orient, following the shortest route to the Far West, pass within few miles of Unalaska and frequently stop in at the port for fuel. The AL aska Commercial company has a coaling station at Dutch Harbor, a neighbor town to Unalaska. Within 45 miles of the port, on Akutan Is- land, the Northern Pacific Sea Pro- ducts company operate a whaling sta- uOn ana at LOSt HarDOr, an equal distance from Unalaska, are the huge sulphur mines, at present clos ed down.
 The San Juan Fishing and Pack ing company's vessel, San Jose, fish ed for cod out of Unalaska and ac- cording to reports the season was exceptionally good At McCushion, near Unalaska, is floating cannery which is served by the S.S. Santa Flavia. The vessels comprising the Pacific Patrol are the motorship Eli der, Captain Beck; which operates to the Pribilofs; the cutters Haida and Algonquin.

DEFINING A TOTEM POLE
By KATHERINE e. KANE.

It IS impossible in brief treatise to give an accurate Interpretation of the crude heraldry of primitive peo- pie without making a study of indi- vidual totems.
 Whatever suggestions of idolatory the uncouth and barbarous appear ance of the totem may convey, to the casual observer, it is certain that such a practice was not thought of by Haidas. Their recognition of su- pernatural power which is common to all primitive peoples was not cen- tered in one Divine Deity. These children of nature developed a ven- eration for birds and animals to which they ascribed human intelli- gence. The transmigratory idea finds a place in the vague traditions of a spiritual power for good or for evil which changed the form of man to birds or animals or vice-versa. A crude idealty led to the association of each family with some form of animal life, the recording of which resulted in the rude carvings called Totem Poles. As nearly as can be determined the original purpose in erecting totems before the houses was to- distinguish each group of families having the same crest. Take for example the totem which repre- sents the Eagle. This would be found all sufficient to indicate the house of the Eagle Clan, and would be the home of all those having the Eagle Crest or emblem of their To- temic system whether visitors or permanent dwellers.

Greater Alaska Trade
 Accrues Seattle Benefit

The day of the pick andv shovel mi ner IS gone forever in Alaska accord ing to the new governor, George A. Parks, who in his inaugural speech last summer said, "The people of AL aska want big capital and are will ing to treat it fairly so that invest ment will yield an adequate return and attract other investments"
 Seattle's business men and civil bodies have realized what a great trade asset is Alaska and have built up careful business relations by which the city expects to gain in the tremendous increases of trade which the Territory is certain to enjoy.
