To those who "Go Down to the sea in ships and to those wha are in any way affected by the severe blasts of weather. the storm of Thursday evening and all of Friday will be remembered as 8 weather tantrum beyond the ordinary. Pe- tersburR harbor Is one of the best, if not THE BEST, on the main steamship lanes in all of Alaska, but at that the heavy seas of Frederick Sound wormed their tumbling way into the Narrows and made 1t quite disagreeable. From midnight, Fri day, to well along in the morning
 the mooring floats for the mosquito fleet were awash with heavy swells and the boats tumbled and pitched against each other, chewed up fend

 Slump in Salmon
OLDTIMER SAYS SLAUGHTER OF
 HERRING MUST BE STOPPED

Tom Hanbury, veteran troller of Southeastern Alaska, says some of the best king salmon grounds al ready have been destroyed by sein- ers catching herring for herring re- duction plants, and the remainder of the grounds will go the same way unless something is done.
 T am 65 years old, Hanbury re- gently informed the Ketchikan Chronicle. "I have fished all my life. I have been over every foot of the king salmon grounds in South eastern Alaska
 We used to catch king salmon by hand trolling and after power troll ling in close to the shore on the ocean side of Baranof island. Now we have to go 12 to IA miles into the Pacific ocean. Why? Because the seiners have destroyed their feeding grounds in close to shore. This summer I witnessed 50 Puget Sound seine boats catching herring in one spot near Baranof is- iland. Wherever the herring show ed up there was a fleet of boats right on top of them with no chance for the small trolling boats. We used to follow the herring to catch king salmon for the kings feed on the herring and follow them, but this can no longer be done with the big seine boats scooping up the herring. I am willing to make statement that for every 4OOO barrels of herring taken from the waters not more than 1000 barrels are lcanned for food purposes. The re- mainder goes into fertilizer.
 "On this last trip in my little trolling boat, the Comet, 1 left here July and made the trip to the
 Baranof grounds, around Baranof island and out in the ocean from Sitka, around to Cape Spencer and hack into lev Straits and Chatham, and covered several thousand miles Hooking for king salmon. Why Be- lcause most of the old grounds have been killed off by the destruction of
 herring.
 "The Yes Bay grounds are gone. The Hadley grounds are gone. The lChomley grounds are gone. The in- lshore grounds from one end of the Iocean side of Baranof island to the other end are gone Small trollers,
 who used to make their catches in
 inside and safe waters, now risk
 their lives by going out into the
 Pacific ocean to try and make a liv-
 ing.
 Unless something is done to stop the wholesale destruction of herring . the natural food for all kinds oi fish, there will be no king salmon
 to catch in a few years from now Every one in Ketchikan knows me They know that I know the game . of fishing. and they know that . can back up any statements I make.

Margaret Tveten is in quarentine

Margaret Tveten is in quarentine with the whooping cough. Parents should be very careful to investigate their children's colds now as there are many cases of whooping cough in town. The only way the epidemic can be checked is by careful quaren- tine of those effected. Measures should be taken to force careless parents to keep their children who have the disease away from others to prevent the spread of the epid emic, as it is not fair for some children to be kept out of school while others who have the same disease are allowed to mingle with their playmates and spread the in lection.

TEAMS END PLAY
 WITHOUT SCORING
New Britain Blues and Hartford
 Pioneers in SC0releSS Tie

The New Britain Blues and the Hartford Pioneers battled to a scorcless tie yesterday afternoon at Memorial Field in Willow Brook in a fast and furious battle. Neither team was able to do much against the opposition and although both straight football and an aerial game was played, neither side was able to get across the others goal line.
 The Blues showed a decided im- provement in their defense of for ward passing attacks and almost every attempt Of the visitors to penetrate by this method was spoil cd by an alert Blue player. The The same can be said Of the Hart ford team because, although New Britain at times made appreciable gains, when the local team came within scoring distance, they faced stone wall.
 The line of the Blues held mag nifiCentlv on several occasions and the Hartford backs were unable to find any holes for long gains The play was fast and furious for both halves and the players were pretty tired when the contest ended.

" VENTS and names not to be for
- gotten by those who value what
has entered into the making
L. of the fabric of American life
and institutions are the heritage
of Orange County, Va, which was Or
ganized in 1874. The courthouse is
reached by two principal routes from
the National Capital. one of which,
about 80 miles, is by way of Fred
ericksburg, and the other, a trifle
longer, is by way Of Fairfax, War
renton and Culpeper.
Alexander Spotswood. able and ener-
getic governor Of the Virginia Colony,
acquired a vast tract Of land on the
Rapidan River, few miles west of
Fredericksburg. Upon this tract he
founded the town of -Germanna. de-
scribed by Col. William Byrd, ancestor
of two conspicuous Virginians of this
day, who visited it in 1892 and tells
that this famous town then consisted
of Col. Spotswood's enchanted castle
on one side of the street and a baker,
dozen Of ruinous tenements on the
other where so many German families
had dwelt some years ago"
Spotswood, ga years old, had come
TO Virginia as deputy governor with
reputation as soldier who had sery-
ed under Marlborough and been Sc
verely wounded in the battle of Blen-
helm, and had brought with him the
writ of habeas corpus, not heretofore
conceded to the colonists as right.
Finding iron ore on the land, he built
and operated a furnace.
Byrd speaks of him as the "Tubal
Cain of Virginia." but says that Spots
wood made the larger claim of being
the first man in America to engage
