Washington Tim
 Der For Alaska

Senator Willis. of Ohio, asked in the Westward country, Why 1t was that Alaska was no becoming popu- lated. The answer is obvious-we are nothing but feeder country for Seattle, there Is insufficient employ ment to hold labor and one can not live in Alaska without money. We print the following Associated Press dispatch as one of the causes of the non-populating of Alaska:
 Constituting one of the largest shipmens of materials sent to the Alaska Railroad since the construc- tion days, the freighter Denali sail ed tonight for Seward with mill loin feet of ties and bridge timbers for replacement purposes during the fall and winter"
 All the big mills in southeastern Alaska have outstanding bond is- sues and rumors come to this of- flee that certain mills are in more or less financial difficulties of lack of market for their products.

Stacked Cards ''-Bu-
 reau Presumes Guilt

The Bureau of Fisheries boat the Widgeon arrived in port this morning to file complaint against John Mattson and Ole Benjamin for alleged violation of fishery laws. The men had gone into Gutt Bay to anchor when the Widgeon came up to them; seing some fish on the boats ordered them to report to the U. s. Commissioner at Petersburg.
 Rather than so to the heavy ex- pense of fighting the case, the men plead guilty and were fined $5. each.
 Gillnetting is permittednorth of 58 which includes this section in which the men were anchored ex- cept that Gutt Bay is a closed area Under the charges brought forth ii is now presumed that boat may not anchor in the NarrOws with fish and gear on board, else a repre- sentative of the Bureau come along and arrest the boat for illegal fish ing" in the Narrows.

0Mauey Calls For Gear Reduction

From a statement issued by U s. Commissioner of Fishtries, Hen ry O'Malley, relently, it is believ- ed that he contemplates drastic re gulations for next years fishing op erations.
 Enroute to Ketchikan last week with pr. c. H. Gilbert, sptcial in vestigator and scientist" for the Bureau of Fisheries, O'Malley was interviewed by a reporter on the Chronicle We quote:
 "The order to prohibit fall fish ing this year Is final. We have made a thorough investigation, and are convinced there ARE NO MORE FISH than what are necessary for spawning purposes.
 '"There is no truth in the rumor that we intend to prohibit fishing for the next two or three seasons. This years run does not necessarily have any direct bearing on the run next year.
 There is one thing of which we are certain-and that is THAT THERE IS ALTOGETHER TOO MUCH GEAR IN THE WATER. Certain measures, the exact nature of which we are not yet sure, will be adopted to reduce the EVER INCREASING NUMBER OF TRAPS.
 'In certain sections of Southeast ern Alaska, especially south of the 5Sth parallel of north latitude, there has been great increase in gear, and at present 1t is my in-

Value of High School
 Education in Dollars

The untrained man goes to work as a boy of fourteen and reaches his maximum income at the age of thirty. This maximum averages less than $1,200 a year AS his income depends largely on physical strength falls off at fifty, or earli- CT, to a point below the level of self-support. His total earnings from fifteen to sixty are about $45, 900. Not more than s2,OOO is earn ed during the four years that would have been given to high school edu- cation.
 The high-school graduate ,on the other hand, rises steadily to his own average maximum of $2,2O0 at for ty years, and continues on that level for the rest of his life. His total earnings would have been $78,OOO. The $33,OOO above the earnings of represents the cash value of his A. year high school course.
 If this $33,OOO is divided by 800, the approximate number of days, in a 4-year high school course, we find that each day is worth more than $41 in earning capacity to the stu dent. Any boy not forced by i'm mediate necessity. to earn his own support who gives up high school career to go to work is shortsight- ed.
 Leadership means more than fin ancial success. Leadership means eration must be kdob3t2 -AC- service to others. The boy who ex- poets to be among the leaders of his generation must get an education; and while only one person in 15O, 900 reaches eminence with less than grade-school education, about 500 in 15O,OOO reach eminence with col Elege education.-Exchange.

No inti mation was given as to which bays and estuaries would be closed next season. The seasonal dates also have been under consideration in the southeastern Alaska district in connection with which MT. O'Mal ley is quoted:
 "Aat present, so far as the sea sons are concerned, nothing definite can be announced. Before any de- cision will be made, the Bureau of Fisheries must secure data on trap catches in various districts for of years passed It will check them against conditions now exising to determine whether the present closng dates are properly fixed and effective in safeguarding runs for spawning purposes"

Princess Liner Finds Reef--In Fog

The Princess Charlotte enroute from Juneau to Seattle struck th,, reefs abreast of St. Johns Harbor Zorembo Island, Tuesday night lat about nine o'clock ripping the bottom of her hull about sixty feet. She immediately sent out SOS calls which were received at Ketchikan and relayed to Petersburg. Earl Dinner responded to the call for gasboats or cutters by sending the Charles T and Americ, the Charles TT. driving through heavy fog in the Narrows and Clarence Straits made it to the Charlotte in about three hours from the time of the call for help. The prompt appearance Of help surprised the wrecked vessel which turned to amazement' when it was learned the Charles was from Petersburg.
 The Charlotte had struck on the reef in heavy fog at low water sc that she was aftoat when the Charles arrived on the scene. The little boat hooked on to the steamer, which was now afloat and lowed her out to deeper water. A cannery steamer belonging to the Packers took the wrecked vessel in tow to Wrangels
 The vessel lost all of her fuel oil when she ripped her bottom out and had only sufficient to keep upl steam in one boiler to take careI of the lighting system.
 There were no casualties in this wreck but the vessel will be unable to go south on her own power on account of having no fuel. The Admiral Watson was reported as being along side the Charlotte at Wrangell and 1t is reported that she will take care of the passengers going south.
 When asked if the fog in the Narrows wasn't pretty thick to trav- el through, Earl Dinner replied, That's nothing to the shrimp fleet, they're used to it" and the extraordinary fast time of the Charles in arriving at the scene, was proof of the fact that such a thing as a little fog did not bother the fleet.
 The Daring, Yacobi and Americ also answered the call arriving at the scene shortly after the Charles IT. had moved the Charlotte. The Americ burned out g bearing but finished the trip to St. Johns rath- CT than turn back.

begat June cycles and May runs
 begat May cycles in future runs.
 Lack of rainfall in September had
 no influence on June runs because those early eggs were planted natur- ally and had nothing to do with the late run of salmon.)
 "The dry spell was followed by heavy rains during the remained of October which likely washed out what few weak humpies entered the screams, (Ed note-It would take a scientist to figure out how any weak humpies' managed to live until October to get into the spawn ing areas.)
 Tn the Juneau district, on the contrary, there was a uniform rain fall, allowing the salmon to reach the spawning grounds. During Sep tember there was 8 F inches of rain in the Juneau district as against three inches in the Ketchikan dis trict for that month. In the Juneau district also, was uniform rainfall during the early part of October, when there was none in the Ketchi- kan district. -(Editor's note-So! How then would Doctor Gilbert ex- plain the failure of the salmon run in the Bristol Bay area-the Nushi- gak district being a total failure 96,00O cases in that area this year as against 5O0,OOO cases last year? While in the same area but another district, KVichak-Naknek, put up 76 per cent of this years pack. Perhaps on the one side of Bristol Bay they had heavy. uniform rainfall while across the bay drouth set in during the October month, two or three months after the, sal mon had spawned and were dead.)
 ''Mr. Gilbert is doubtful if there will be any heavy run of humpies in the Ketchikan district this fall and in his opinion he is supported by Henry O'Malley.
 Webster DOUBTFUL - Admit ting of doubt; not obvious, clear or certain. Characterised by ambigui- ty, dubious; not settled in opinion; undetermined of uncertain issue or event; syn. wavering; vacillatins, hesitating, distrustful, uncertain, questionable ,equivo- cal; ambiguous. That just describes the U. s. Bureau of Fishefies-but the practical fishermen everywhere have no doubt in their minds that the salmon runs this year are all shot to kingdom come. Salmon will come, yes, but never again as they came twenty, fifteen even ten years ago.

Science "Predicts No
 Humpies Thls Season" /"

Dr. c. H. Gilbert special investi gator for the United States Blu
 reau of Fisheries, who accompan-
 led Henry O'Malley and visited with
 him along the west coast of Prince
 of Wales Island, around Sitka and
 in Icy Straits, when seen on the
 fisheries boat Brant before it left for Seattle at Il o'clock this morn ing, declared that he and MT O'Malley were trying to find out WHY THERE WAS PRACTICAL LY NO SALMON IN THE KETCHI- KAN DISTRICT THIS YEAR so FAR. Editors note-We suggest that Dr. Gilbert read the topliner on the front page of the Ketchikan Chronicle and then he will need hunt no further for the reason of depletion in MORE CANNED SALMON IS PACKED IN KETCHIKAN THAN ANY CITY IN THE WORLD" Nuff sed.
 Commissioner O'Malley also re- turned on the Brant for Seattle on bis way to Washington, D. c.
 Dr. Gilbert thought possibly some data shown him in Ketchikan might account for the light run of humpies in this district. It was shown him that during July and August of 1925 there was a very light rainfall compared with other years The total rainfall for Sep tember of that year was three inch es, and it was only an inch during the first 16 days of October, which caused low water in the creeks, pre- venting the salmon from reaching their spawning grounds until the middle of October.
 Editors note-The mistake, in- tentional or otherwise lay in the fact that salmon entering spawning DO NOT WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER TO GO UP STREAM. Except September run, invariably the first runs of salmon have reached their spawning areas-proof being the stench of dead salmon along the creek beds. October run of pink>. have not been existent for over ten years so that any dry weather in of 1925 would have no eff feet on the humpy run of this year save in the mind of a fish scien- tist and impractical theorist. Sep tember salmon from time immem- orial bred September salmon hay ing natural physical laws which can no more be speeded up than in any animal or human being; August salmon begat August runs; July runs begat July cycles; June runs
