JOSE BRISENA, CONDUCTOR
today under the Douglas Music club

There is something new under the
sun. From the land OF the Mocte
zumas and the historic sun gods OF
the Aztecs has come a new kind of
jazz Not the jazz of the banging
COW bell and footing. of horns, with
saxaphones Wailing and drums
pounding; but the soft, lifting tones
Of marimbas, harps, violins and Sal
terios playing the most modern
American music as it has never been
played before. ,as..
MeXico's National Tipica orchestra,
now on tour Of the United states,
has developed this remarkable new
musical novelty and is now offering
1t to the American public for the
first time as a part of it's concert
program. When the Mexican ma
tional orchestra crossed the border
at Laredo, Texas, in October, Profess
sor D. Jose Briseno and his talented
musicians from the National Con-
servatory of Music in Mexico City
had never heard jazz played as it
is being played in the United States
Mexican orchestras in the capital
had attempted to play the typically
American music but had failed to
catch the swing of the music which
originated on the cotton wharfs OF
New Orleans and along the Missis-
sippi river. For this reason Professor
Briseno was prejudiced against the
new musical form until he heard it
played by American orchestras OF
the better class and by famous or
chestras on the monograph records.
Instantly he was charmed with the
catchy style of the American music
and declared that jazz was as typical
of America as the folk songs which
his orchestra plays are of his own
Mexico. He asked Mr.. Hines to OBJ
tain a phonograph for their special
Pullman car while travelling from
cne city 10 another and, for hours,
he would listen to the records of
Paul Whiteman's orchestra as they
played the newest selections. He
then set to work toSAarrange these
selections for his own orchestra as
there is no music written for the
unusual Instrumentation of the Mex
lean national Tipica. The result
was a combination of. Mexican and
American music which made an in
stant hit when Professor Briseno
played it for encore numbers on his
programs. The Mexican orchestras
interpretation of American jazz be-
came so popular tnat it is now In
cluded as part of every program
However, this Interpolation has not
replaced any of the selections which
have made this national orchestra
of Mexico famous wherever it has
played. The folk songs, with their
plaintive sweetness the national
songs of the Mexicap peon and the
more pretentious classical selections
remain as a part OF the programs
with the jazz numbers added to give
spice and contract to the evening
of Mexican music which Professor
Briseno offers his audience.
Following are both afternoon and
evening programs:

IN THE MAIL BAG.

In the mail bag that came to Juneau Sunday were communications from Washington. D. C., in the form of circular letter and pamphlet. The former dealt with conditions alleged to exist in Alaska The latter was more general in con text In one particular they alike. Both were signed but not by any signature subject to Identification and the envelope in which they were transmitted bore no return address
 The form letter Alaska bore the signature: Peoples Legislative Service, Juneau. Now that is enlightening to everyone. Of course, there isn a single resident of this community from the youngest child in the local schools to the oldest pioneer of them all. who doesn't recognize that sign manual It is probably not well known as the Taku Wind Nil Juneau, the bell that sounds the nightly curfew Sum Dunn Charlie, Lydia Pnkham's Pink Pills for Pale People Courthouse Hill, Gastineal Channel and other well known things, places and individuals, but 1t at least ranks with the ubiquitous under cover dry agent so far as general knowledge of who and what it is is concerned.
 Still in matters of this kind lest there be those who do not recognize such old and well established institution with reputation for infallibility and righteousness it is considered good form in the more reputable circles to add fo the signature of the institution that of one or more of it's prominent officers or other members. And this is particularly in point when there is no company, corporation or association or record in the Territory bearing that title. Nor do any of the offices in the city carry legend showing where it is housed. One wonders, too why it was deemed necessary or at least ad- visable to have the document mailed out of a city so distant as the national capital. And in plain envelope on which return address was carried and no return postage guaranteed.
 Under such circumstances, the average citizen need not be criticised if he regards the form letter with suspieion In fact the need for shroudine it's origin in secrecy while not apparent, must m cite distrust The mail bag carries many things It has carried anonymous letters before now ane will probably continue to do so as long as there are people who feel the urge for anonymity And the circular that bears the signature 'Peo ples Legislative Service, Juneau IS not les anonymous than if it bore no signature at aii

Get the Facts First.
(Pacific Fisherman.)

(Pacifc Fisherman.)
 Various people and organizations in Southeast Alaska are again carrying on an active agita- ton against the herring industry and urgent petitions are being sent to the Government to further restrict fishing and in particular to stop the use of herring for reduction It is asserted that the herring fishery is being depleted and much stress is placed upon the potential import ance of the herring as food fish as we'll as food for more valuable species, such as salmon and halibut Many of the claims made, however, do not seem to be supported by convincing evl- dence and it is by no means clear that the industry can rightly be held responsible for the conditions complained of even if they really lexist Further, little notice is taken or the fact that herring fishing is already greatly restricted
 Such facts as known scarcely warrant the assumption that the herring in Southeast Alaska is being depleted that the toll taken of the supply is in any way excessive. Probably the greatest cause of present complaint IS the snort age of herring for bait, and in this connection lit is stated that herring no longer frequent many localities where bait formerly taken. Most of these localities however are far removed from the fishing grounds of the curing and re duction industry. In certain Central Alaska areas on the other hand, where herring has been comparatiyely little used for reduction, the run for several years has been much lighter than in Chatham Strait where fishing has been most intensive.
 As for the value of herring as food cer- tainly the greatestndeed the only-economic use that can be made of the bulk Of the eaten at this time is in the production of oil and meal. 1 If it is not wanted for food why object to it's utilization for other purposes, through which benefit is derived both by the producers and the country at largeg
 There is no real reason to be concerned over what use is made of the herring, so long as fish l ing is not so intensive to endanger the future supply The trouble is that nobody knows much about the herring-their habits, whether or not there is any likelihood of depletion their rela- tions to other fisheries. All sorts of assertions are made but the real facts are almost entirely unknown It will not be denied that the future 1 of the fishery should be protected but restric- l lions of a fairly drastic nature have already been adopted to this end, and it would seem reasonable heora taking further action to ascertain the facts of the situation.
