DISAPPEARANCE
 Is SOLVED

The mysterious disappearance of John Mccarthy from Tenakee four years ago was solved recently when a human skeleton was found back of the town in the woods and was identified as that of the missing man. It was generally believed that he had left the country to avoid prosecution on the charge of violating the liquor laws.
 bullet hole in the skull and a revolver alongside the body shows evidence of suicide.
 We wonder if some of the n1ysterious'' disappearances from Petersburg will be solved in the same way?)

PETITION GETS
 USUAL 'TENT|0N

The herring petition circulated during the past summer by Dan AL stan, and which received the en- dorsement of fishermen and busi- ness men throughout the Division has been presented to Secretary Herbert Hoover, Henry O'Malley, Commissioner of Fisheries and to Chairman Frank Scott, of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
 Secretary Hoover's reply to the petition was that regarding the use of herring in manufacture of ol! and fertilizer, I find on exam ination of the law, that this De- rartment has no authority whatev- CT to prohibit the use of herring for this purpose.
 Upon being approached about the matter, O'Malley was not en- tnusiastic about stopping the manu- facture of fertilizer, but he Is hav- ing thorough survey made" whatever that means and we may expect. a voluminous report about the wonderful progress of the in dustry and the myriads of herring, and nothing about the wanton waste and destruction of this food fish. His survey no doubt will be made by such men as Capt. Earl Hunter with plenty of advance in <, formation of coming investigation, and then spend the time investigat- ing grounds where there are no herring fishing operations.
 In the meantime destruction will continue until the industry reaches the point of depletion and burden of conservation falls On the resi- dent Alaskan.
 The most ignoront, illiterate Indian knows as much about the condition of Alaska's fisheries as Secretary Hoover and the mouth piece of the Packers.
 What there is to investigate or survey after the statement of sev- eral thousand resident Alaskans is beyond us. Probably survey the situation and see how the depletion may be continued.
 Survey!! Thorough Investiga- tion!!!??

SURVEY WITH PLANES

A geological survey by airp1ane is planned by the province of Sas- katchewan, Canada, with view to determining the mineral wealth of the northern portion of the pro- vince.
 The project, it is said, will be undertaken for the purpose of de- termining the mineral wealth of the district to be surveyed and, when the maps are completed, the miner alized areas will be indicated as an aid to prospectors interested in that region.
 It is said in Canada that two sea- planes will be empolyed in the sur- vey and that the work probably commence in the spring, of 1927.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES COMBINE

Sears, Roebuck and Company and Montgomery, Ward and Com rany, according to information re- gently published are planning a merger of the two biggest mail order companies with assets of over a quarter of million dollars.
 It is estimated that saving of ten to fifteen million dollars annual ly will be effected in operating ex- penses. The saving in catalogs alone each year will run into mil lions of dollars.
 Honest now! How much stock have you purchased in one of these companies and how much business do you send out of town to these non-tax payers, just to save an Imaginary dollar?

 PASSES OUT.

MT. Andreanoff, was a remnant of the old Russian stock and was one of few remaining remnants of the pure Russian stock. A brother of his was a General Andreanoff, in the Army of the Czar of Rus sia during the world war. After control of Russia went into the hands of the Soviets, Andreanoff heard no more of his brother so it was presumed that the General met death at the hands of the Soviets.
 MT. Andreanoff is survived by his widow, Mrs. Andreanoff and two young sons. The death of his daughter couple of years ago, was shock which he never did get over, and the same dastardly assassin left Mrs. Andreanoff a cripple for life.
 The many friends of MT. Andre anoff offer their sympathy to the bareaved family in their hour of bereavement.

 Fox Breeders Association.
 There isn't any doubt but what Alaska might we'll be known the world over, as an ideal country for fur farming; where the climate is cold enough there is a wonderful growth of fur which has a very fine texture and very good color.
 Eur farming is carried on now by men who know fur and have very good breeding ability, no doubt there would be failures, but these failures will be mostly by people that are not adapted to the breed ing game. After seeing most of the ranches in Alaska, I would like to nake some suggestion on ranch construction for the benefit of the ranchers that expect to increase, and also for the new beginners.
 I have seen probably about 1000 ranches altogether, and the follow ing is my opinion of the most prac- tical ranch of my experience:
 I believe it advisable to use l inch mesh for all wire construction, for the following reasons:
 The wire is just as cheap, if No. Is wire is used in the ground and : inch above the ground and No. 20 wire is used from 3 inch above ground to the height of yard, al- so for the overhang. Foxes will not fight the 1 inch mesh to any great extent, because it is impos- sibIe for them to get their nose and lower jaw through the wire; also it lessons the climbing of the wire 90 percent, but the main reason is, if a fox gets out of it's own yard (which happens once-in- awile, no matter how carefully, it's impossible for the fox to stick it's foot through the wire of another CT yard to be chewed off.
 The larger the yard is built, the better, but for an example, I would say to build the breeding yards 12 known as the Alley System, that is, to have the alleys 12 feet wide al- so. and to have the ends of the all l1ys fenced in also, and overhang. this is done so that foxes can use the yards for two or three months, and then use the alleys for yards and when the animals are in the al- leys the yards will act as alleys; the extra expense of this system is about $7.80 for material and the extra work, which is very small for each yard.
 The house can be either outside or inside. as preferred, and each house has two chutos, one opening into the yard, and one into the all ley. Of course, when the yard is used for the animals the chute to the alley is closed up.
 The most practical shaped yard is a semi-circle, making the yard
