1t IS becoming increasingly APP
parent that F'lynn's effort to make
flat-footed gladiator out of Demp.
sey is not getting anybody any
where. For Dempsey, by instinct
and years of development, is toe
bouncer and he gets most fearfully
absent-minded about that flat foot
stuff. The only result of Flynn's
effort has been to confuse Dempsey
somewhat and almost completely
ruin the flutelike notes in Mr..
Flynn's voice.
1t also is apparent-perhaps pain.
fully so to Mr.. Flynn-that his
scholar isn't doing so well in the
matter of:
KNOCK down that left lead
knock it down-now punch"
For the .Ax-champ is q strange
sort Of bIOke-at least he il be-
coming so in Mr.. Flynn's eyes.
For even though it's awfully
good ring form for q fellow
like Dempsey to knock . left
iab out Of the way and then
sock. Dempsey seems to be one
of those unrefined folks who
cares nothing for etiquette of
that sort.
II would seem that Mr.. Dempsey
Is fond of left labs, as thrust ulpon
him by others, that he disiikes be-
ing brutal with them, has a perfect
horror of knocking them down and
greatly prefers to take all those
little orphan Jabs to his bosom--or
upon his face.
Occasionally Mr.. Dempsey rernem-
bers that Mr.. Flynn has asked him
to knock down a left-hand lead with
his own right paw. And he peni.
tently knocks down one or two, but
usually, when he does, his only re-
ward is to have the other fellow
belt him few right-hand smacks
upon his whiskers. for when Demp-
sey tries to bat down a left jab-
well, it's pathetic.
For he takes a vicious swfpe
at it. is fOrgetful Of all else,
and. as a result, he leaves him.
self as wide open as the fairly
well known Grand Canyon.
It's a quaint situation here, with
Flynn ordering Dempsey to do
something that's entirely strange for
Dempsey and with Dempsey trying
to follow orders, but usually ending
up doing exactly as he has been
doing through IA fighting years.
It's one much like that which would
transpire If the boss of the Yankees
suddenly decided that Babe Ruth
should bat right-handed and have q
stance at the plate like Ty Cobb.
But all the while the undiscour.

Dempsey will annihilate that
Sharkey man."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

On another column of this issue is printed letter from E. Emstoss, buyer for the Atlantic and Pacific Packing Company. MT. Emstoss represents a company that is recog- niZed as one of the largest buyers of king salmon in Alaska. He has done more in the past few years to give the trollers a chance to earn a liv.ng wage than any other agency in Alaska. Everywhere he is spok- ell of kindly by the fishermen; the buyers of fish speak of him with epithets unworthy of Americans.
 As buyer of king salmon, which feed on herring, he is through his many representatives, able to get line on trolling conditions, habit, habitat of salmon and feed and feeding grounds of same.
 As buyer of king salmon he is interested in keeping up the supply of salmon. When he states that de- struction of the feed supply means the destruction of the king salmon supply, he voices the general opin-I ion of experienced trollers and fish ermen.f
 No where, not even in Norway, is there such wanton waste and de- struction of food fish as in Alaska Seattle, Chicag and San Francisco have ruthlessly prostituted the fish resources for so many years that present demands are given no ear The waste will continue, as in the salmon industry until seed suppyl is gone, when MT. O'Malley will be- gin measures of conservation, but he will have no measures to con- Serve population. That is an ele Glent that vitally effects the fnan- cIal structure and should be pro- tected before too late.
 DEPLETION IN SIGHT
 It is only a few years ago when ! considerable herring was packed 1 and shipped out of Petersburg. It | was not long when the large her. ring supply was depleted. The | hackers then moved to Cape Fan shaw then to Port Houghton. To- day there are no large herring suit able for packing in these bays.
 The supply of herring ic not in- exhaustable. The first five years according to the Norwegian investi- gators in Norway the herring do not reproduce and they die when they are 13 years old In the 8 years of spawning period the large herring meet natural enemies in the seas which tends to deplete the suppyl. Augmented by the, present system of destroying thousands of barrels every year without even getting them to the canneries and the Ii present system of running thousands of barrels through ev- cry day as fertilizer, it is not long when empty shacks, once finely equipped fertilizer plants will be all that remains of that industry. The several thousand fishermen will have moved to other climes for better labor markets and the resi- dent tax payer will be overburden- ed with the cost of government.
