the amazing increase" this
year is at the cost of seed
fish that did not reach parent
stream. They harp on the
progeny of the breeding pink
or humpback salmon that es-
capped in 1924"
It will be remembered that
the escapment of that year was
a late escapement and to breed
late fish is to develop a late
run of fish. That the late run
this year was a complete fz-
zle. That the pack put up was
practically trap caught pack.
That the fish were caught be-
fore they got to parent streams
and that the ony "amazing" thing
about the purported increase is
the colossal ignorance or
criminal Indifference of men
supposed to have the care and
protection of this resource of
misunderstanding Alaskan.

LIVE SEALS BROUGHT
SOUTH BY COAST
GUARD CUTTER

According to the Bureau of
Fisheries of the Department
of Commerce, the Coast Guard
Cutter Bear on August 81 took
four live seals from the Prib-
ilof Islands off Alaska to San
Francisco for exhibition in the
Steinhart aquarium of the Cali
fornia Academy of Science in
Golden Gate Park. One was
a four-year-old male, it was
stated, and one a two-year-o1d
female. The other two were
female pups.
In describing the delivery of
the seals, the Bureau stated
that the Bear reached San
Francisco September IS. The
male was described as in good
condition, the female thin and
one of the pups sick while
the other was in fair condi-
ton. All but the sick pup
were place in an outdoor pool.

COMMUNITY AND
SCHOOL GARDENS

uNdGAO4A.
Seldom, if ever, have I seen
gardens more thrifty, with
greater variety of vegetables
unsurpassed in quality and
flowers more gorgeous in colors
than this summer. My timer
airy carried me along the coast
points of the Boring Sea and
Arctic Ocean returning to St.
Michael, thence up the Yukon
to Nenana and Fairbanks and
out over the Alaska Railroad.
These gardens were generally
distributed about tke native
villages as far as Kotzebue but
especial mention should be made
of three,-Unalakleet, Noun
tain Village and Eklutna. Those
at Unalakleet we're mentioned
in the September NEWS Bull
LETIN. Some said that Mrs.
Sickles, our assistant teacher at
Mountain Village, should re-
ceive all the credit for garden
activities, but the principal, Mr..
Sickles, would not concede all
of the glory. At Eklutna there
was an acre plot, cleared at
considerable expense two years
ago out of the virgin forest of
great cotton woods and aspens.
On one-half of that area this
year the native student boys,
under the direction and with
the help of Mr.. Elmer Smith,
produced six tons of potatoes.
If purchased in the states and
delivered in Eklutna, these
potatoes would cost $50 per
ton or $3.50 for the production
of one-half acre. During the
fall the cost account for sub
sistence Eklutna shows a
credit to the gardens of $3.50
per month for peas, carrots,
cabbage, turnips and other
vegetables from the other half
of the cleared acre of land.

Odd Fire Escape

Devices for human safety always
have been favorites with inventors.
Back in the seventies when build
ings were growing taller, ingenious
minds turned freely to the inven-
ton of new-fangled fire escapes.
One of the oldest of these, says
Popular Science Monthly, was in
the form of a parachute attached
to a headgear worn by the escaper.
With this. declared the inventor, "a
person may safely jump out of the
window of a burning building from
any height. and land, without in
jury and without the least danger,
on the ground" TO make doubly
sure OF such landing. he further
provided overshoes with thick rub

proviso to Section 3 of that act, even if
the other requirements of that proViso
are present.
1t is believed that it is unnecessary to
consider whether such iabOrers could en-
ter temporarily as nOn-immigrants under
Section 3 ~ of the Act of 1924, for the
reason that even if they could be admit
ted under that clause the conditions re-
CURED under Section Is of that act to in
sure departure at the expiration Of the
period for which admitted would neCes-
sarily be such that their importation
would be impracticable. Unless such
conditions were imposed, such aliens
might remain in the country. and the re-
uuirement of the immigration Act o.
1924 that all aliens becoming perma-
nent residents in the United States after

session of immigration Visas issued ua-
der that act would be defeated.

For the ten years since the transfer it
has always been held that The Immigra-

Virgin Islands, because it was passed by
Congress before the transfer Of the is
land, and This is The Act the Department
of Labor refers to in its correspondence.
1t is likely that if this matter goes into
the hands Of another person in the Labor
Department q different opinion may be
given upon 1t.
From correspondence | have in my
possession it appears that The Depart
ment ct Labor was of the opinion that
the Virgin Islands are u~norgauIZad terri

Laws, and that aliens from these islands
