Lieut.. Curtin Anxious to Co.


 Washington, Sept. P - The growing sentiment in government circles against transatlantic stunt fliers probably will lead to the re- call Of Lieut.. Lawrence W. Curtin, naval aviator, who was to have ac- companied Rene Fonck on his pro- lected New York to Paris flight.
 Question Is Considered
 The question of forbidding Curtin to make the flight has been under discussion here for several days. High naval officials, including As sistant Secretary Robinson, have publicly made Known their opposi- ton to flights which they said were unnecessary and of little value to aviation.
 Lieutenant Curtin Is now in New York with Fonck, waiting suitable weather for the takeof for Paris. The plane was tested several days ago in flight from New York to Washington.
 In ordering Curtin to desist the navy would be taking the only con- crete way open to it 10 discourage such flights, inasmuch as there is no law by which the flight can be stopped. The sentiment stirred up against such risk of life. however, Is known to have disturbed officials here, and ways have been canvassed by which the situation might be controlled.

Curtin Is AnyiOus

New York, Sept 9 Rl-The move ment 10 halt transoceanic flights, fast gathering momentum here and abroad, met with resistance today from Lieut.. Lawrence W. Curtin, L. s. N.
 The navy f1ier. who with Capt Rene Fonck will soon attempt q Paris flight in a twin-m -motored Si- korsky biplane, defended experi- mental ocean flights and declared that some men must always die in pioneer work for the cause that means so much to them.
 Men must die 10 pave the way for others" said Lieut.. Curtin in a state ment of his position.
 Il have the great admiration for Nungesser and Coli, for the British flyers Hamilton. Minchin and Prin- cess Lowenstein- Wertheim, and for Hill, Bertaud and Philip Payne. and for Capt. Terence Fully and James Medcalf. They have attempted great task in the development of aerial navigation. Their lives have been freely given in the cause of this great science-as have the lives of many others who have gone be- fore to prove the feasibility of air travel.
 The fact that these brave men have given up their lives should be only an added incentive 10 intelli- gent and progressive achievement In aviation
 New York. Sept. CP'-Public re- action against the fool hardness of suicidal airplane flights today appeared to be bringing results on two continents.
 At least one projected transat- lantic flight has been cancelled. an- other faces postponement and au- to curb by law further dangerous air undertakings.
 However, in the face of this oppo- sition, eight projected transatlantic expeditions went forward with their preparations.

 The supporters of the Windsor to Windsor flight of the monoplane Royal Windsor have appealed to the planes pilots, C. A. Duke" Schiller and Phil Wood at Harbor Grace. N. F, to abandon their flight and return home. The decision. how ever, being left entirely to the pilots.
 That the flights of two German aviators may be called off was seen in the action Of the German minis try of transportation in summoning 10 Berlin Herman koehl and Baron Gunther Non Huenfeld and Lieut.. Otto koennec6e, all of whom were planning hops 10 America. Added to these developments came reports from Windsor, Ont. and Madrid, Spain. that governmental interfer- ance in dangerous flights would be sought. Madrid reports. said the Spanish government, would not further flights unless they are practical and planned in great detail. Premier Mackenzie King has been asked that the government take action to prevent the Royal Windsor flight.

Everybody Talks;
 Nobody Does Anything

Alaska seems to be something like Mark Twain's weather: Every body talks about it but nobody does anything about it.
 Senator Willis of Ohio is the latest talker. He sees the vast pos abilities of the territory and says it should be developed. Now he will go back to Ohio and forget about it.
 Probably there's not much wrong with Alaska. It is badly governed, it is true, but it is comparatively prosperous; its resources are being brought into development. There is no pressing need for rapid-f1re utilization of everything Alaska has to offer.
 But if Alaska waits for congress to do anything she will wait in vain. She must dig in herself, re membering that Providence aids those who aid themselves.-Seattle Times.

 School Heating System

At the meeting of the City Coun- cil held on Tuesday, MT. Fryer of the Fryer Machine Works and agent for the Oil-o-matic heating system, was authorized to make certain changes in the school heating sys- tenn for it's improvement. He was also instructed to submit plans for the extension of the heating system in the new addition to the school house now under construction.
 These changes will make consid- erabel improvement over the old fuel method, being more economi- cal and more efficient in the distri- button of the heat throughout the the entire building.

Why Halibut Prices
 Are Slightly Low
Dealers Give Three Reasons to Ac-
 count for Present Slump in Prices

A review of the week shows that halibut prices are from three to four cents lower than for the same time last year, yet no immediate prospect of better prices, unless un- favorable weather conditions should curtail cargoes, according to the opinion of local buyers.
 Prices have been ranging from 1O1s to 121a for firsts and and 7 cents for seconds, on an average.
 Dealers say that as far as they can figure it out there are three reasons for the lower prices this year, namely, larger quantities of halibut brought into the Boston market from the Atlantic seaboard, a larger stock of frozen halibut on hand, and lots of scrap fish and cod thrown on the eastern market. Active fishing for halibut on the
 Atlantic seaboard ceased about five years ago. The banks there have become restocked and weekly car goes have been coming into the Boston market in direct competition to the Alaskan or Pacific Coast pro- duct. It is said that Atlantic halibut- CTS use a different class of boats in northern waters. The Common wealth is the only type of New Eng land boat in Pacific Coast waters. Dealers claim that if there is a bad spell of weather, fresh halibut cargoes are restricted for time, the frozen halibut will be worked off which would mean better prices for fall fishing. Otherwise, accord l ing to their views, there is little prospect that prices will advance materially and reach the prices paid last year.
 So far as known here, no Japac i halibut has been offered or sold ir i the American market during the summer.-Chronicle.

Alaska Missionary Dies of Injuries In
 West Virginia

Clarksburg, w. Va. Friday, Sept. 2.-The Rev. s. Hall Young, 80 years old, missionary and author of Seattle and Alaska was seriously injured when struck by an interur- ban car at Ziesing today. Mr. Young was on his way to French Creek for a reunion of French Creek pioneer decendants.
 While he has numerous friends in Seattle, the Rev. s. Hall Young is more widely known in Alaska. where he was one of the first mis- sionaries to carry the Gospel over the territory by dog team After he was ordained he went to Wran gell as a missionary and explorer and spent ten years on the south eastern coast working among the natives.
 He at one time edited a mission ary publication called "The Glacier" at Wrangell. He left Alaska in 1888 and went to Long Beach, Cal. Later he occupied pulpits at Cedar Falls, Iowa; Caberty, H., and Wooster Ohio. He returned to Alaska, how ever, and in 1901 was named super intendent of the Presbyterian, mis sions in Alaska. He remained in Alaska until 1913, when he went to New York.
 Doctor Young made three trips to Alaska this summer with Presby- terian tourist parties. Leaving for New York immediately after arriv~ ing in Seattle in August, he planned to revise his last book on Alaska. lecture at Chatauqua, New York and throughout the east in the in terest of Alaska missionary work.
 S. Hall Young was known from one end of the territory to the other and no doubt was responsible for the institution of more church work than any other religious work CT in Alaska.
 His sudden demise will be deeply regretted by all Alaskans and his loss will be incalculable to his church.

S250.00 Is Raised
 For Gymnasium
Interesting Program Is Followed By Dance-Congressma Nestal
 Makes Short Talk.

The program and dance given re- gently at Eagle hall for the benefit of the Community gymnasium fund and sponsorfed by the American Legion Auxiliary and the local post
 the Legion proved highly success .ul both financially and from an en- tertainment standpoint. Approx imately s25O was raised for the gymnasium fund.
 The program, varied as it was in teresting, kept the close attention of the audience for more than an hour After the program had been opened by a selection by the band, John A. Clark spoke briefly on the need for a gymnasium. He said that although wonderful work has been done by the finance commit tee under H. H. Ross there is need for further funds and, pointing out the fact that the largest part of the money has been put up by bus mess men, urged parents to get solidly behind the movement, as it is for the benefit of their children that the gymnasium is being built.
 The Hon. Cecil H. Clegg, federal judge for the fourth judical divi sion, said a gymnasium is impera- lively needed for the use of the school children. It cannot be ex- pected that child will do his best in his studies unless he has a healthy body, the judge declared. The exercise obtained in a gym nasium will bring about cOOrdin- ation of mind and body and dissi- pate the surplus energy of the child, he said-News-Mi

Pioneer Gamer Enters Fight Against Herring
 Reduction Plants

fertilizer plants are going in every yea" and making huge profits on us- ing up a good fish for making fer tilizer This should be stopped inn mediately regardless of who it hurts.
 "If this industry for the use of fertilizer is stopped before it is too late, some of us will live to see her ring one of our largest industries in Alaska. Thirty years ago you could not sell a thousand cases of pink salmon in the world; today we sell millions The same might we'll, in time, prove true of herring.
 Tt is our duty to use every effort to stop the destruction of herring
 ''I believe it is one of the great est economic and industrial crimes of the century and we are watching it and making practically no pro- test.
 T know we need fertilizer know it helps farmers to grow crops. But there are many other waste products just as valuable for fertilizer. In Alaska are great lime deposits and mineral deposits and fertilizer. Alaskan waters swarm with fish that have little or no food value Then why, for the sake of temporary gain, utterly destroy an industry which can be made per manent be worth millions of dol lars annually and provide for fu ture needs? That is the reason I say it is an industrial and economic crime and a shame to allow it to continue. Every Alaskan who shuts his eyes to these facts and makes no protest, is aiding and abetting the criminal practice of the destruc- tion of a valuable food product"
The Alaskan., 1927-09-09

J. R. Hickman, pioneer canner, businessman and banker of Ketchl- kan made broad statements as to the effectiveness of the destruction methods employed by fertilizer and reduction plants which operate on the Alaska herring.
 ''It is a crime," he said recently in Ketchikan, and "one that will be regretted later, that this country is allowing herring to be used for fertilizer; a food fish that will in time be as valuable to Alaska as our salmon fishing has been. More

Big Seven'' of Alaska
 Packers Issue Statement

Alaska packers will make 10 ef- fort to have the fall salmon fishing season, closed by Henry O'Malley, federal commissioner of fisheries, re- opened. Instead they will gather all information concerning the run of the fish, when it started, the size of it, the number of fish which have reached or. will reach the spawning grounds in the streama and rivers of Southeastern Alaska, the fish in the bays and straits and the time that the peak of the run, if there is belated run reaches the coastline.
 This was decided at a meeting of representative Alaska packers held lat the Olympic Hotel recently. Thirty-fve packers were represented. The meeting was held behind clos ed doors, and special committee of seven was named with H. B. Friele, vice president of the Nakat Packing Corporation, as chairman to issue statement relative to the action taken.
 Compare Notes
 The packers met and compared notes. The question of protesting the action of Mr. O'Malley in clos ing the fall season was not form ally considered
 That is a closed incident" MT Friele said "Mr. O'Malley has an- nounced that the season is closed. That ends the question. The pack CTS did not discuss this phase of the situation because it is something not at issue at our meeting"
 The packers discovered that re- ports from their stations in north ern waters were not unanimous. Some stations reported salmon rum ming thirty days late Others re- ported no fish.
 With these reports before them, the packers decided to notify their Alaska stations to start gathering the desired data so it would be available for future reference in case similar situation ever con fronts the industry.

Local Chamber of Commerce Goes Into Fisheries
 Question

The local Commercial Club held Tits regular weekly dinner and busi- ness meeting in the private dining room of the Grande Cafe on We'd nesday evening of this week. An enthusiastic discussion took place relative to the closing of the fish ing season by Henry O'Malley, U. IS. Commissioner of Fisheries. The Club in common with other com mercial clubs in Alaska, most of the canneries, and hundreds of in dividuals and such civic organiZa- tons as Rotary and Kiwani' Clubs have wired MT. O'Malley urging him to reconsider his order. The re- quests were made in order to make is possible for many fishermen in Alaska who have not made expens- es this year, to make a grubstake during the fall fishing. MT. OMal- ley, however, was quoted in a tele- gram as having said. II am ada mant On my order to close this sea- son."
 CONSERVATION OF HERRING
 The conservation of herring was elso discussed quite extensively. The Secretary was instructed to write all the Commercial Clubs of Southeast ern Alaska asking them to ap- point a committeeman to meet with one from the local organization to discuss and make definite plans and to draw up resolutions making strong appeal to the Fish Commis- sion to prohibit all taking of herring for other than bait. or food. 1t seems conclusive to any and all, except those directly interested in operating reduction plants, that 1t is murderous to the future SUD- ply of herring in Alaska waters to permit their use for other than food or bait.
 HARBoR DREDGING
 The matter of dredging of the Petersburg Harbor was brought be- fore the Club by a letter giving as surance of support in getting the matter attended to as soon as pos sible It was suggested that it might be possible to bring 1t under the emergency clause which would speed action materially. The let ter also suggested that the pest pro- cedure would be to secure data relative to the needs and facts as to the amount of tonnage shipped to and from Petersburg, the depth of the harbor approach to the docks, etc. This material to be gathered and presented to the proper authori- ties in Washington, D. c. by our own Commercial Club. A commit tee was appointed to have this in hand and also to prepare two pc titions, one to be signed by cap- tains and owners of boats, both To- cal and also of the larger steam CTS docking here; the other petition is to be signed by the businessmen of the city.

Mere Than 5000 Have Al
ready Been Mailed Out to
County Auditors - State
Law Was Made Especially
Strict Because 1t Was
Thought Federal Aid Would
BE Available

More than 5000 blanks on which
farmers may make applications for
county feed and seed loans authoriz-
ed in an emergency act by the state
legislature, have been distributed by
his office, J. A. Kitchen, commits
siOncr Of agriculture and labor, said
today.
Most of these have been mailed to
the county auditors Of Morton, Sioux,
Golden Valley, Emmons, Mclean. La
Mourc and Barnes counties. Kitchen
said, but u large number have gone
to other counties also.
Some counties have not yet de-
termincd If they wish to take advan-
tage of the terms of The emergency
law but have asked for supply of
application blanks in case tn y
should finally decide to grant the
loans.
Some Counties Barred
In some counties, Kitchen said
farmers apparently will be unable to
take advantage Of the state law, and
since the federal feed and seed loan
bill carried no appropriation a real
dilemma exists with regard to them
When the state act was drawn
htcnen explained, IT was confidently
expected that the federal feed and
seed loan bill would be entirely
workable. With this expectation in
mind he advised the legislature to
place rigid restrictions around the
state seed and feed loan act
As result the state law provides
that new feed and seed loans may not
be made by counties which have fail
ed to collect GO per cent of the previ-
Gus feed and seed loans made by it.
He has been advised that several
counties. among them kiddcr and
Dickey counties. are affected by the
GO per cent clause and some way
must be found to take care of the
feed and seed situation in those
localities.
When the state act was drawn,
Kitchen explained, North Dakota
representatives in congress were
