CONSERVING SALMON INDUSTRY

While there is merit in the statement of the Bureau of Fisheries that restriction of salmon fishing in Alaska has resulted in conserving the supply, there other causes which loom in equal importance if not in excess of the restriction rules Among these is the work started by William Studdert who two years ago. served special agent of the Bureau of Fisheries in the Cook h. let Mr. Studdert who is of the leading fish authorities of the country discovered that there were three for salmon depletion everlasting, destruc ton of fish and failure of the salmon to reach the spawn ing grounds
 Concdent with enforcing the rules against illegal fishing Mr. Studdert placed many ish-ways in streams of the vest and with powder blew out rock falls and ot CT impediments in the streams.
 While the time is too short to make positive state ment appears that where the streams freed of ob strctions the salmon have increased materially.
 Mr. Studderts observation was to the effect that the enforcement of the law against wasting fish, allowing the spawners to reach their natural spawning grounds and netting out the trout which the greatest enemy of the salmon there would be sufficient replacement each year to make up for depletion by capture He predicted that Cook Inlet within five years would have an annual pack of 3OO0O0O cases without depicting the supply of fish,
 As is shown in the annual report of the salmon pack the output for 1926 reveals increase of 8O5O7O 1925.
 No better work could be continued than MT. Stud derts initiative in clearing streams, thing retarded be- cause of lack of appropriations sufficient to meet the cost
 While the abuses of everlasting have been ninimzed, they be entirely eliminated until more patrol boats are placed in western waters

FRE:IGHTER ] I[AI|lANA l ! VI . Y. MAKES FAST TRIP
VETERAN OFFICERS OF ALASKAN
 WATERS ARE MEMBERS OF CAP TAIN ANDERsoN's PERSONAL

Just a week out of San Francisco last evening, the large Alaska Steam ship company freighter Panama, Capt. Hjalmar Anderson, arrived in port yesterday morning with the biggest deck load of any vessel coming into this port for years. Regarding the voyage, Captain John Johansen, pilot on the Panama and a brother to Sew ards own, Capt. o. A. Johansen of the s. s. Starr, said that if anyone had told him such ideal weather was pre- valent in the North Pacific at this time of the year he would have just about told them they were handling the truth carelessly.
 The vessel was loaded down with over 900 tons of Hume pipe for the Fairbanks Exploration Company, rang ing in size from 46 to 56 inches in dia- meter, 30 feet in length and averaging from 4,OOO to 5000 pounds each, A few short lengths, elbows and joints, are also in the shipment. In some in- stances the pipe is nested. Of the large size four comprises load for flat car. It is estimated 70 flats will be necessary to move the tonnage to Fairbanks. This is the second boat load of pipe for the big company and one more is yet to come, probably some time in January.
 Among the officers on the Tanana are 1st officer Stone, Chief Engineer Kinnear and E. F. Key, radio opera tor. Captain Anderson was formerly skipper on the s. s. Oduna for one and one-half years and recently made three trips in command of the s. s. Victoria.
 At the present speed of discharg- ing the tonnage the vessel will get away for the South tomorrow morn ing.

ORCHESTRA MAKES HIT

The six-piece orchestra which play ed two selections at the Liberty thea tre last evening and which, according to the management will play every Thursday evening hereafter, was cer- tainly entertaining but the only trouble found with them was that they did not play enough. With the completion of the second number, which was rendered in excellent tech nique, the audience settled back com fortably and with anticipated pleasure when To and behold there wasn't any more" The judgment of The Gate way is that at least five numbers should be played. The musicians cer- tainly are an added and appreciated attraction to the program.

SEWARD ATHLETIC CLUB
 BALL VERY ENJOYABLE

As was expected the Seward Athle- tic Club ball which was held at the Odd Fellows hall Wednesday evening was largely attended and one of the incest dances held in many months Financially, the ball was also suc- cess, all expenses being paid with a small surplus to go into the depleted treasury. And that was the main pur- pose of the dance, to help swell the clubs purse for during the winter months the expenses in keeping the building up, lights and fuel, aside from the purchasing of supplies and equip ment, is quite high.

Motor Bus Increasing in Usefulness
In Remote Parts of World, Survey Shows

Use of the motor bus in the remote
regions of the world for both pas
senger and freight service is increas-
Ing constantly, according to the auto
motive division Of the United States
Department of Commerce. In a trade
report just compiled, this fact is strik-
ingly shown.
The motor bus, the report discloses,
is now carrying passengers over the
arabian Desert, tEaversing the old
biblical route from Jerusalem to
Jericho and running up to the Temple
Of Heaven, in the sacred city Of Pc
king. Names that are familiar in song
and story appear in this report
Rangoon and Mandalay-Cairo and
Alexandria - Casablanca. All these
have their quota of motor busses. Ac-
cordtng to the report there is a bus
line which conducts a regular service
across the Cobb Desert, in Northern
China, connecting Kalgan with Urga
and covering a distance of more than
500 miles. Even on the Sahara Desert
the modern motor bus is gradually
usurping the place of the picturesque
and cumbersome camel. In the Phil
ippines the motor bus has proved one
of the outstanding agencies for civiliz-
ing the natives of the remote villages,
enabling them for the first time to
have adequate means of communica-
ton with their neighbors.
According to the report there are
today operating in Asia, Africa and
Oceania about 1900 busses. British
Malaga and French Morocco head the
list of individual countries, with about
1000 busseS each; India and Australia
have each little less than that num-
ber, while the Philippines and Japan
have LOO and 1,600. respectively.

Windshield Gives Trouble.

partly clamped all kinds of noises are
likely to develop. Even the rubbing

its own. The remedy for such noises
is simple enough.
Not 50 simple, however, are the
noises which originate at the wind

about the windshield anchors.
Doors come next in considering
purely body noises. This is due to

also may be sagging. The latter is
something the owner hardly can

TESTS SHOW COST
OF STOPPING CARS
Boulevard Plan Seen as Big
Expense and Conges-
ton Factor.

The cost of frequent stopping of
cars, seldom thought of as a tangible
item Of motoring. has been reduced
TO figures by the engineering depart
ment of the Automobile Club of South
ern California in connection with a
study of the boulevard stop system.
A series of tests made by the clubs
engineers indicated that the $4,000
motor vehicles of Los Angeles Coun.
" make approximately II 500
600 stops daily. 1t was estimated fur
ther that these stops cause 45,240 gal
Ions Of gasoline TO be consumed daily

daily cost of this quantity of gasoline
totals Ss,143. while the yearly ex-
pense amounts to s3,772.1 1876. This
sum does not. take into account wear
and tear on brake Innings and tires
caused by stopping cars.
Designed to facilitate motoring, the
boulevard stop was initiated by the
automobile club for use at heavily
fraversed intersections to avoid acci.
dents. congestion and delay. The plan
was effective. but students of traffic
problems now fear that boulevard
stops are being placed in effect where
the traffic is not sufficiently heavy to
warrant. motorists coming to a full
stop.
Those who question the wholesale
application of the system point out
that TO apply it promiscuously with
out regard to the volume of traffic not
only will defeat the original purpose
but will tend To increase traffic con
gcstion by slowing down traffic as well
as to cause loss of time to individuals
and further expense in the operation
of cars.
While the promiscuous use of boule-
yard stops is questioned by traffic eX-
perts. the club is urging motorists to
observe reasonable precautions at all
intersections to avoid the necessity
of making a complete stop at all cor
ners. 1t is hoped in this way to pre-
vent the increase in gasoline con-
sumption, which is found to result
from frequently bringing a car to a
