under the thumb of large cor
porations to suffer Territorial
control to remain under the
domination of their power.
Time was when Bellingham
was the salmon-canning center
of Puget Sound as Ketchikan
now is of southeastern Alaska;
today one small cannery oper-
ates at Bellingham, for the rea-
son that the salmon were fish
ed in the same ruthless manner
as it is now conducted in AL
askan waters. A few years ago
it was a common sight to see
the seiners set their seines and
make full hauls of thousands
of salmon in Tongass Narrows;
today salmon schools are
thing of the past. Almost ESQ
more traps were fshed in AL
askan waters this year than
last; the seiners made no money
before the traps closed, many
of them going in debt, some
made a little during the fall
fishing.
There is much said, thru the
cannery press, of what the
salmon canneries are dong for
Alaska and that Sutherland and
his supporters are a menace to
the industry. If the canning
industry is killed it will be
done by their own policy Of
forcing methods of trap fishing
for every dollar to be made
now, regardless of the future.
Every effort, that they dare, is
made to supplant seine fishing
with the trap. Instead of en-
couragement to those who live
here and have a lasting in
terests in the betterment of
conditions, seine fishing is be-
ing destroyed and more traps
introduced with each succeed
ing year, which means the in
evitable destruction of the in
dustry unless the turn is called
The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1926-11-15

advance step has been made
over the opposition Of organic
ed greed for the exploitation
of Alaska's resources. Fish
traps have been abolished in
British Columbia waters but
the canneries still remain and
report is that more seiners are
employed with much better re-
turns than during the period
of the fish traps.
The Future
The future destiny of Alas
ka is with those who have home
interests here, who have in
terests in the general welfare
of her people without distinc-
ton between classes or extent
of worldly possessions. Wealth
of today may vanish to-mor-
row. What is wanted is stable
industries with equality of op-
portunity. Self pride and glori-
hcation is born of selfish vanity.
What really counts is earnest
endeavor for the welfare of all,
remembering that our first and
most important duties are for
Alaska. We have no opposi-
ton interests except to make
them more beneficial, and the
benefits lasting to the develop
ment of our Territory. Slush
funds contributed by corporate
powers whose head is far dis
tant from Alaska, for the cor
ruption of our elections could
be better employed Gin my
opinion) to all concerned if
contributed to some of the
public needs of the Territory.
There can be no feudal system
in Alaska. The people are in
tel1igent and free and will
fight to win and maintain their
rights as American citizens.
Justice is what is sought. "A
fair field and no favors."

 Lets get it out where we can see lit better" said Reddy.
 Jimmy turned his head aside to hide a grin. That's good idea, '" said he, you pull it out" So Reddy reached in black paw to pull the thing out. "Ouch!" cried Reddy. and the queer thing remain ed right where it was. ! What's the trouble?" inquired Graywing the GullI coming along just at that moment.
 "There isn't any trouble" replied Reddy grossly. we are just wonder 1 ing what this thing is here"
 . Pull it out and let's look at it. said Graywing.
 Pull it out yourself" retorted Reddy.
 "Oh, if that's the way you feel about it." I will" replied Graywing. and, reaching under the rock with his stout bill, he pulled the queer looking thing out. It looked more than ever like a great big chestnut burr.
 Jimmy Skunk remembered to be polite. If you please, Neighbor Gull" said he, we should like 10 know what this thing is. Is it alive? We have never seen anything like it before excepting away back on land where the chestnut trees grow. There every fall when the nuts drop they are in coverings tha. look a whole lot like this thing"
 Graywing's eyes twinkIed. This. said he lis the Prickly Porky of the Sea. It is Q Sea Urchin, a Green Sea Urchin. and it is very much alive. It is sometimes called a Sea Egg, but there's no real sense jn such name as that You'll find that un- derneath all those spines is shell, and the owner of that shell lives in side. He doesn't want 10 be meddled with, so Old Mother Nature has given him all of those spines. Do you see that thing over yonder?"
 Reddy and Jimmy looked. There was a curious pin-cushion shaped shell but without any spines on it., and covered with tiny knobs. When Jimmy turned it over, He discovered q good-sized opening in the bot tom. The shell was empty. That" said Graywing. lis the shell of a Sea Urchin."
 "Oh!" said Jimmy. Thank you very much, Neighbor Gull"
 Don't mention it, replied Cray wing.

News form Mary Harrison at
 Her School

It took but a second for Rather inc to draw over her pallid face the professional mask which years of re- pression have taught her so well how to assume. She rose to her feet, still clutching the letter which just had tossed into her lap, and said with apparently effortless quiet;
 Do you mind if leave you for a few minutes?"
 "Of course not" we chorused, but we followed her slender figure with anxious eyes until the door had closed behind it, for she went direct ly to her own room on the floor above. Then Lillian's eyes met mine concernedly.
 What do you suppose is the mat ter?" she breathed. Did you see her face?"
 Yes" I answered briefly, l might have added that I had seen he let ter also, and that I knew very well the reason for my little kinswom- ans agitation. But it was Rather ines affair, and it was not for me to comment upon it because Of the special knowledge I possessed.
 Lillian understood. She always does. and changed the subject imme- diately.
 You were ready to Shrow a few exclamation points into the air your self before you caught sight of Kath- erine's face" she reminded me. "Go ahead and read your letters"
 There's only one worth the time ' I said, "and that one you'll want to hear. It's from Mary Harrison"
 That means she's probably on her way here" Lillian commented. That young woman does things first and notifies people afterwards. Read 1t. I'm all ears"
 I tore open the envelope and took out the letter, number of pages, but as I knew from experience con- taining paratively few words. The sheets of notepaper bore the monogram of the school and began abruptly, with no date line:
 Dear Auntie Madge! Hooray! Hooray! I'm on my way, or will be as soon as I've had a day in Detroit, I suppose Aunt Harriet will think ] ought to stay until I get my ward robe in shape, but I've got plenty of clothes, and they're pretty well mended up they make us do that here. you know and if have any thing new I want to buy it in the New York shops, of course.

| atmosphere during the period of pollination. The amounts were less in the cities than in the country, but enough ragweed is found on va cant lots or blown into the city to cause symptoms in sensitive per sons.
 Air Tests In Cities The pollen is mixed with the dust of the street and fastens on other flowers and leaves in the vicinity of ragweed plants. For this reason, many persons suffer more when driving along country roads.
 According to Walker, almost all persons with fall hay-fever in New England are sensitive to ragweed, although a few are found who are sensitive to such flowers as the gold enrOd, goldenglow, aster, corn, vel low daisy, white daisy or sun flower.
 East of Kansas, the dwarf rag weed or Roman wormwood is usual ly responsible.
 III NtihIdt SldttS
 In the central states from Illinois and Nebraska south to Louisiana and New Mexico. marsh elder and the Russian thistle may be concern ed; in Arizona, the careless weed pigweed, lambs quarters or goose foot and salt brushes, and in the irrigated country Bermuda grass and Johnson grass consultations appear.
 In Colorado, the ragweed, Russian thistle, sagewort, sagebrush and timothy ae involved, and in Califor- mia many type of ragweed, poverty weed, goldenrod and tansy may be concerned.
 The physician must determine by the skin test which pollen or groups of pollens affect the patient He then makes a special study with the pollehs concerned to - find out jus. how sensitive the patient is. When he determines the sensitivity, it is sometimes possible to desepsi- tize the patient. This will be dis cussed in the next article.

FlutteriDg Frocks in Two Colers Are Important in the Late
 Summer Evening Mode.

If you are contemplating a new dance frock and want something a bit unusual, consider the smart ef- feet of white chiffon combined with some daring, contrasting shade, These new evening gowns in two colors are extremely smart just now, well-dressed women preferring the effect of sharp contrasts to the more stereotyped one-tone models
 The evening gown sketched to- day is a lovely combination of white and apple green chiffon. The latter shade appears in alternate panles on the skirt and in the green bead trimming of the girdle It is no way detracts from the cool gleam of the white and, in addition, provides a colorful, enriching note
 The skirt is unusually full owing to loose, circular panels of alternat- ing green and white chiffon. picoted in silver. The silver motif is re- peated in the narrow ribbon girdle which is embroidered in pearls, brilliants and sparkling green stones. Rhinestones are used again on the closet fitting bodice in design of ra- diating lines and to outline the neck and arm holes.
 The very full skirt of this chiffon evening gown is composed of alter mating loose panles in white and apple green. Rhinestones trim the close fitting bodice.

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine.

The hay-fever that occurs in the late fall is usually more severe, lasts longer, and affects more people than that occurring in the early spring and summer.
 Investigations have shown that the cause of fall hay-fever is the pollen of plants such as the rag weed and sage-brush, which flower at that time. These pollens are blown about by the wind, which is likely to be brisk and to disseminate the pollen over a wide territory.
 In addition to the plants men, tioned, other wind-pollinated plants, such as pigweed and tumbleweed may go to seed and spread their pollens.
 Second Period
 Many grasses have a second period of pollination late in the summer. In New England the fall hay-fevcr season begins, according to Walker, about the fifteenth or twentieth of August when the rag weed first pollinates. Patients will name a certain day, and even the hour when the symptoms are eX- pected to appear each year.
 These symptoms continue until the flowers or the ragweed are kill ed by the frost late in September, but if autumn is unusually late, they may continue until about the first of October.
 In some persons, the symptoms do not stop with the frost or with the end of pollination, but continue longer because the nose has been in- fected and the irritation continues until proper treatment has been applied.
 Tests of the air in eastern cities made during the pollination season of the ragweed show that the sub stance is found abundantly in the
