" v @S t( Nst(N (AA AeOAS about S145, ,0O0. Lack of com plete reports on the canning industry last year prevented
 an estimate on the amounts due for that period but 1t is said to
 be slightly less than the year

 The case was originally heard
 before Judge T. M. Reed, who
 upheld the constitutionality of
 the law. The packers appealed the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld Judge
 Reed but expressed the opin-
 ion that in imposing the tax the Territory came close to the
 border line of confiscation of
 property. The Supreme Court of the United States then issued the writ upon the appIi-
 cation of the company's attorn- Iey's, thereby permitting the en- tire case to be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
 Juneau attorneys point out that few appeals for such writs are granted and in many in- stances where it is granted the review results in reversal. Jas. s. Osmund, veteran can- Inery man of Chignik, reports considerable damage done his plant by storms, high water and ice, this winter, and is talk ing in a crew of men to get ready for the coming season. The unusual high tides, caused by earthquakes, showed the
 water up in the company's plant, tearing out piling, knocking down boats and Iscows, and damaging the build ing. MT. Osmund has consider able interests in and around Chignik, being engaged in fox farming, and having a fine herd of goats and cattle at the cannery. He is bringing up a small herd of Jersey cattle on one of the company's boats in the spring, which will add greatly to the comforts by giv- ing fresh milk and butter. MT. Osmund also plans placing a herd of reindeer on one of the islands near Chignik, believing this would solve the. fresh meat problem, serious one to the westward.
 The frozen bodies of Joe Far ris, aged 70 years, last surviv- ing member of the Portugese whalers on the Arctic coast, and his half-breed son aged 16, were found recently in the vicinity of Cape Townsend, a short distance from Point Hope, according to informat- ion reaching Capt. Joseph F. Bernard, former owner of the famous Teddy Bear and a not ed Arctic voyaguer, who is in Seattle for the winter. Farris's body was found in a sleeping bag, and that of the boy close by. Their half starved and nearly frozen dogs were hud- dled around the lifeless bodies. Both men had evidently frozen to death. Their death occurred close to the place where Far ris's wife met a similar fate two years ago.
 The Alaska seal herd num- bers at present close to 700, 900 head, an increase of about 50, 900 over last year, according to the annual report of the Commissioner of Fisheries to the Secretary of Commerce.
 The head contains more than 90 per cent of the fur seal of the world. The industry cen ters in the Pribiloff Islands in Boring Sea, where the herds gather during the breeding season under the protection of the government and U. s. Coast Guard vessels.

! The sheep, or as it is inappropri-
ately called "Dog Law like all laws
/ is not perfect There are some fea-
4 lures of this law, to which /, with a
few others objected. The primary oh
! ject of this law was to encourage the
sheep industry in West Virgiia. The
greatest menace to this industry is
the unrestrained dog Sheep are the
most profitable farm animals thet
| West Virginia farmers can raise; and
W. Va. is particularly well adapted
to sheep raising, but dogs may get in
to flock of sheep and distroy half
of them. 1t will cost the farmer more
than he can gain in two or three years
No man would go into raising sheep
for the money he would receive for
sheep destroyed
This is by no means a "one-sided
law The dog is protected better than
the sheep. If any one, without au-
thority destroys your dog, which is
assessed for more than twenty dol
lars, the person guilty Of the offense
is subject to fine of two hundred
dollars and Imprisonment in the
County jail at hard labor for a peri
cd of one year. If assessed at less
than twenty dollars, the person who
destroys your dog is subject to a fine
of fifty dollars and jail sentence Of
six months.
The cost of administering this law
is too great 1t will cost between ten
and fifteen dollars to ascertain the
value of sheep destroyed. 1t seems
to me that the value of the sheep
could be gotten from the assessors
books without cost If this were done
the license fee for dogs could be cut
in half. Fifty cents for a male dog
and one dollar for a female dog.
AS to the game law / am opposed
to it in any form. The most object
ionable feature in this law is in re-
gard to hunting on "unenclosed" land
This should be changed to refer to
"unenclosed" lands only.
In the event of an extera session
of the Legislature this winter ] have
asked the Governor to include in his
call, the consideration of changing
the "Sheep or Dog" law as to license
fee and the "Game Law" as to un-
enclosed lands.
Let US be charitable in these mat
tiers. Don't think that the sheep far
mer wishes to deprive you of any
rights or privileges because he does
not wish to own dog is an OUTLAW
l am fond of good dog The dog
is mans most faithful friend. The
sheep is mans most useful friend
1t furnishes him, both food and cloth
There is a place for the sheep and a
place for dog. Keep each in his
and there will be no trouble.
