slNH. 9u IuE OIAEE AHnaf NHe pres ent agitation in Alaska indicates that strong political pressure will be exerted for drastic restriction. The arguments advanced may be entirely valid. but if not disproved will no doubt appeal to many peo= pie. and the pressure might con eeiyably gain such strength as ta seriously cripple the industry. The only real safeguard. either fo the industry or the herring fish cry, must be a knowledge Of the facts upon which reasonable regu= lation can be based and which can be advanced as a final answer to unwarrante1 and destructive ale cations.
 The Bureau of Fisheries about a year and half ago initiated a sci eufifie research on Alaska herring for the purpose of obtaining such data. detailing G. A Rounsefell to handle the investigation r.Roun- sefe1l appears well qualified for the work. which he has been car rying on eonscientiously. but in view of the vast area to be covered and the urgent need of early re- suits the task seems too great for one man. The importance of the problem. and of the industry whose welfare is now at stake. would warrant an intensive effort to get at the essential facts with all possible speed.
 Investigating Under Way
 Mr Rounsafell returned early last month from his season of field work in Alaska. and will spend the winter in the laboratory at the University of Washington. Seattle. working up the data and material collected His first report on the investigation is to be made in the spring. but it seems doubtful whether the data so far collected will have much bearing on the questions immediately at issue. It is hoped, however. that within a few years his work will produce informa ion of real practical value 10 the herring industry. as well as for reguatory purposes. MT. Rounsefell spent the entire season in the areas to the Westward. fn- cluding Kachemak Bay. Prince William Sound and Red Fox Bay. finding it necessary to concentrate as closely as possible in the inter- est of thoroughness.
 Many detached facts and obser- vations on the herring fishery are reported from time to time by fishermen and packers, leading to various conclusions: but more de- tailed observation and scientific analysis are needed to give such conclusions the weight of estab= lished facts. Tn this connection Olaf Floe, of the Northwestern Herring company, calls attention to a peculiar condition noted last summer during heavy run of herring in Larch Bay, Baranof Is land. a run which he considers probably the greatest in the his tory of the industry.
 It is usual, he says, that the JuiX herring contains considerable feed. and also a great deal of superflu- cue fat (belIy fat; but this year the fish of the run mentioned were absolutely free of feed, except the largest ones, and none were found any superfluous fat, ei- ther in July or August. This, he believes, proves that even among fishes. when they become too nu- it is a case of survival of the fittest." He is accordingly convinced that, if no arbitrary are adopted this dis trict is capable of producing much more than at present, and prob ably a better quality.

Following is a reprint of the ar ticle in the Pacific Fisherman which caused Mr Reed to write the foregoing letter:
 Since the early days of the her ring reduction industry in Alaska there has been more or less opposi- ton to this method of utilization. although there was practically no market for the fish as food until less than ten years ago. and even now. despite intensive development of the herring curing industry, the market for the pack is confined to relatively narrow limits. It is pos sible to put up a very attractive canned product with Alaska her rin, but development has not been found commercially practical in competition with the vast supplies of similar fish at low prices from Norway and California.
 Direct utilization of Alaska's her ring resources for food, except on about the present limited scale, is

GEO. NORTHROP
 IS KILLED ON
 PUGET SOUND

BELLINGHAM, Nov. 22.- A towline. stretching from a log raft into deep water today bore mute evidence of the spot where the steam tug Bahada exploded and sank with her crew of nine early Sunday
 she lies in 260 feet of water be- tween Huekleberry and Saddleback islands
 Coast guard and harbor boats were standing by. riding the swells and attempting to locate bodies.
 4 boiler explosion Is believed 10 have caused the wreck
 First evidence of the disaster Was the discovery Of the body Of William Hansen, deekhand, wear ing Bahada lifebelt. IL had wash ed ashore on Samish island, six miles away. Bits of wreckage were found on the beach on Jack island five miles from the wreck. Other wreekage was picked up on Saddleroek. It indicated that the blast had demolished the pilot house.
 The Bahada took the raft out of Anaeortes at 5 D. m. Saturday. She was due here at 2 a. m.
 The men lost in the wreck are.
 George H. Hansen, Anacortes. captain. widow and three chil- dren survive.
 James Hird, Anacortes, mata. He leaves a widow and two chil- dren.
 Sam Brannon. Bellingham. chief engineer; unmarried.
 George Northrop. Anaeortes, as sistant engineer. widower.
 William Hansen, deekhand. sin gle He was a brother of Captain Hansen.
 A. D. Bigham, Anaeortes. deck hand, single.
 Charles Craig. fireman. single
 John Kanage, Anaeortes. fire man. single.
 L. christtanson. Anaeortes. cook. single.
 A United States steamboat in speetor was to investigate from Se- attle Monday.
 The Bahada was an S5-footer, registered to the Gilkey Bros Towing Co. of Anaeortes. She was listed at 132 gross tons and of $50 horsepower.
 Plans for lifting the craft were being made today.
 The above press dispatch will be read with deep regret by the peo- pie of Wrangell. George North rop, 9ho is listed with the dead was well known in this community, having lived here the greater part of his life.
 George Northrop was born in Wrangell AS years ago. His father vas one of the first merchants of Wrangell and conducted a store on what is now a vacant lot be- tween Charles Bearings store and Bob Hurley's barber shop. His father died when he was a small boy. At the age of IS his mother, who was a sister of Mrs William Tamaree, passed away. MT. North rop received his education at the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. While at Carlisle he also served an apprenticeship at the printers trade. However, he never followed printing as a vocation after leay- ing school.
 George Northrop was fundamen- tally an honest man. A single in- stance which proves this statement is the fact that when he left here for the States several years ago he owed one of the Wrangell mer- chants a rather large account. Shortly after his arrival in the States he began making small pay ments on the account and eontin- ued to do so until the debt was paid in full.
 MT. Northrop is survived by five children. His oldest daughter, Margaret, sent a cablegram from Ketchikan to Bellingham request ing that she be advised as soon as any deltails are known. On Mon day she had received no further in formation.

timely, very much so-for some.
We have heard about gas leaks, and
leakage and waste of gas for years
and sometimes there was said some
thing to the effect that it might be
necessary to increase rates but it has
never so happened-always there was
some way found for getting around it.
And so it will happen again.
In the first place the Press must
express its admiration for Mr.. Mitch
ell as mathematician. He is quick
at figures. He was in his position
as service director just six days from
the time he took his position until
he submitted his letter to council
wherein he stated it MIGHT be neces-
sary to increase the gas rate. He
says too that he has not had suffi-
cient time to determine just what the
leakage really amounts to. So that
you see, while the service director
DID have time sufficient to figure out
what the increase MIGHT amount to
he DID NOT have time to figure out
the amount of leakage. So that ac-
cording to Mr.. Mitchell's own words
he is just guessing that the increase

The Press earnestly believes the
greatest opportunity for growth and
expansion that Hamilton has ever had,
in all its long history, is knocking at
its very doors just now with the Ham
ilton Furnace Company seeking the
right to execute its contract to fur
nish the city artificial gas for the
next ten years, as voted by the people
by a three to one vote at the election
last November.
Just think what it means to Hamil-
ton with the coming of this big con-
Germ. To start with the company
proposes to erect a s3,000,OoO plant.
This means an enormous lot of work
for the members of the various build
ing crafts and much work for com
mon labor at good wages. When the
plant gets to running it means the
employment of at least 400 men to
start with (steady empioyment), with
an annual payroll of between $780,
900 and 100000.
With the employment of this large
force it means more new homes will
be needed. That means more employ
ment for the building crafts. Then

NEW YORK EDUCATOR
URGES TOLERANCE

New York.-We live in an age of
barbaric intolerance in which minori-
ties are crushed by force and people
are burned at the stake, DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University, told 800 college students
at meeting in this city.
"Only the weak and intolerant have
constant recourse to compel those they
can not persuade or convince" the
educator said I'VE are surrounded
by intolerance on every hand Minor
tiles are thrown out. Men are hound
ed for their convictions and the weak
or defenseless are hanged by mobs
or burned at the stake" Such prac-
tices, he declared, were instruments
of barbarism."

MIGHT have to be made. Now then,
you know, the Press knows and every
bodys knows that we are all liable
to guess wrong at times.
Perhaps, though, it wasn't the real
intention of Mr. Mitchell to scare peo-
pie with the threat of possible in
creased gas rates. 1t was more the
play-up of the daily newspapers to the
incident that was made to cause con-
sternation among the gas consumers.
And the Press admits that for few
hours it did have the effect intended
it should. But after the people got
down to a little thinking, the why
and wherefore thereof, why, it was
just like the little picture book circu-
lated by the Columbia Gas Suppy
Company which also proved a bad
vaccination-it didn't take.

to be the chief stock in trade of the

WATCH FAKE GAS INSPECTOR


In addition to the attempt to throw
scare into the people with propos-
ed increased gas rate another hob
goblin is being spread by natural gas
sympathizers through fake gas in
spectors. 1t is said that there is
quite number of outside men regis
tered at one of the local hotels who
are making the rounds of Hamilton
homes and posing as gas inspectors
to enter them. 1t is said after MAX
ing a supposed inspection of the gas
system in the house these men tell
the housewives that they have gas
stoves and ranges that are alright for
burning natural gas, but if the con-
tract should hold for artificial gas
their stove or range will be no good
to them, leaving the impression that
they would have to buy all new
stoves or ranges with change of gas.
This is not true The contract of
the Hamilton Furnace Company calls
for changing of all stoves and
ranges to burn artificial gas if the
company secures the contract and at
the company's expense.
Don't be fooled by the fake inspec-
tors If any should call at your
home, don't let them in and imme-
diately notify the authorities as they
are not employed by the city.

Don't let that threat of 90-cent
gas rate sink in too deep or scare you
very much And don't forget to take
all things into consideration when
thinking it over. And don't forget
to remember that the opinion of Serv-
ice Director Guy c. Mitchell that the
rate MIGHT have to be increased to
80 cents a thousand cubic feet came
right in the heat of the campaign
for the gas contract-right on the
eve of the election. 1t is at such
times that all good campaign man
ayers send out the scariest bogy-man,
or boogerman, as some would say. The

PROGRESS OF OIL WAR

Great Britain says she doesn't en-
visage war over the oil situation in
the Mosul. Turkey doesn't go so far.
There is a sullen silence after the
stern statement that Turkey abso-
lutely refuses to abandon sovereignty
over Mosul.
The Turkish government declined
invitation to the meeting of the
council of the League of Nations, and
entered a vigorous protest against
the councils action in awarding
Great Britain mandate over Mosul.
The decision gives Mosul and it's
oil to Great Britain. Turkey de-
clares she will not yield.
Diplomats are mumbling decorative
phrases about ending the regrettable
situation and solidifying the peace
which is essential to the aims of the
League of Nations.
The British secretary of foreign
affairs says his government does not
wish to adopt a rigid and uncom-
promising attitude.
This is just one more step in the
coming war over oil. Back Of these
statesmen and their attitude the real
powers sit in Paris, in London and

MIR. AND MRS. CARDS GIFT
In our article last week, referring
to the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer
Gard Of camp for boys as memoir
ial to their son, Charles Campbell
Gard, we were little bit in error as
to the recipient of the gift. The gift
was made to the Y. M. C. A., and not
to the city, as our article stated.
However, that is all the better,
since the "Y" has department
wholly devoted to the welfare of boys
and the "Y" is accessible to every boy
in the city. The great good the boys
department of this wonderful insti
tuition is doing for the boys of Ham
ilton in molding their young lives
into the making of good future citi-
zens, is known to everyone and all
rejoice in the further opportunities of
the department, by reason of Camp
Campbell Gard, for doing much more
good for Hamilton's boys.
1t was indeed noble and generous
gift. None could have been given for
better or finer purpose. In their
gift Mr.. and Mrs. Gard have given
the most good to the greater num-
ber. No doubt, as Camp Campbell

mitted that there is great amount
of gas leaking away through defect
i've mains. But why not stop the
leak? That has long been the argu-
ment of the Press. 1t has been stat
ed time and again that the leakage
could be stopped with an expenditure
of approximately 100000 and there
by save the loss, which one of the
dailies declared the other night
amounted to $132, 2,150.27
Why not then spend hundred
thousand dollars and in ten years save
$1,321 ,50214? This is simply taking
the opponents own figures. Since the
contention seems to be that all the
deficit in the gas department is due
to loss in leakage and that outside
of that the department holds it's own
under existing rates, wouldn't it be
the sensible thing to do to spend the
amount necessary to stop the leak
and make the big saving referred to
above?
With this saving, in few years
time we could pay off the debt of the
department and have nice snug sum
in the treasury. And then to boot, we
would be our own boss in the matter
and wouldn't have to coax some big
corporation every year or two to re-
new our gas contract and please,
Mister, let us have some more gas.
How about it?
Remember again, that word MIGHT
in Mr.. Mitchell's letter was just a
'boogerman" trying to scare you. Be
sure to vote next Tuesday.
