MAURICE 1. SHARP RETURNS VACATION
CHEMIST MEETS WITH PECULI- AR INCIDENT WHILE AT GILL
 cAGo CONVENTION

Maurice l.. Sharp, popular Anchor age resident and chemist in charge
 of the Bureau of Mines office, Alasks
 Railroad, returned to Seward Satur
 day from the great Outside where he
 has been romping about for the last
 three months seeing what there was to be seen after an absence of, To- these many years One brief glimpse Of his smiling countenance was suf-
 ficient for one to note that the vaca- tion acted as a wonderful tonic for he looks the picture of health. MT. Sharp is the noted producer of Anch- orage having put over successfully some of the finest shows the Terri tory ever saw, and while Outside this trip he took the opportunity of look ing over many new manuscripts.
 He had the pleasure of attending both the Shrine and the Elks conven- ton at Chicago and had the time of l his young life. One incident of that visit will ever be recalled, he said, due to one one afternoon when he was waltzng down one of the main thoroughfares. He was wearing at the time an Anchorage Bills" silk ribbon on his hat. He noticed a stranger eyeing the ribbon curious l ly but was stunned when all of a sudden the stranger burst out, Well l I'll be darned, from Alaska, huh!" As quick as Tightening MT. Sharp res bonded, No, from Anchorage"
 MT. Sharp stated he was not only stunned but shocked at the language. But before he could get better ac 1 painted the ruffian rushed away with tears streaming down his florid cheeks. MT. Sharp is under the inn pression it was an oldtimer who ac- costed him and that when he saw a relic from out of the past he just lost control of himself
 | For a period of a month and one- half MT. Sharp lowered about the Pittsburg office of the Bureau of Mines going from there to his former home town, Fort Wayne, Ind There he spent an enjoyable visit at the Ihome of his parents and relatives Salt lake was the next port of call; thence to Portland, Ore, whereas he had done while in Pittsburg, he made trips of investigation to varous mines iand plants where the methods of manufacturing by-products from coal were closely studied. The gas plants were extrmely interesting to him, he stated. He also paved visit to the Seattle station of the department
 The visits to these stations and plants impressed him immensely in connection with the future develop ment of Alaska coal

About the happiest boy in Seward, Sunday morning, was Richard Pros ser, "newsy" for the Gateway. This was caused by the arrival of brand new De Luxe bicycle on the Aleutian. At 9:30 in the morning he remarked that he had been out since 8 o'clock breaking in his new vihicle, even for going breakfast, in his apparent de- light

 There are those who think the Gov ernment should open an experiment. al fox farm in S. E. Alaska since the government is we'll able to go into practical tests where the fox farmer is not. Another drawback seems to be in the lack of definite organization of the farmers, them selves. There is no unfriendly at tltude taken in the Doctors call from place to place, but there is a feeling that, some way or other, the officials are ca the wrong track.

JUSTICE OR JEALOSY

And Tom Marquam longs for the lime light some more. A prosaic law CD practice smells too loud oi the drab and dreary and the prac- titioner bellows loud and makes complaint against Dan Sutherland in charge the Dan spent more than the allowable $5,OOO. in the campaign of last year. Is the Hon. Thomas such stickler for Justice, fair play, square shooting and such? Well, not that you'd cry yourself to sleep over The move is trans parent with political blowholes and at this time and date causes no dis turbance. Still, it's only by investi- gation that we learn things and we suggest, that H. J. Wade, investi- gator, is on the ground ferreting around for violations of the Cof lrupt Practices Act,-we suggest that he do a little scouting where the most noise comes from.
 Not but what everything is. okey, of course, although the more gum shoein~ there is the more reports there'll be.
 Sutherland said, in speaking of Department of Justice activities, that he was aware of the investiga tion, but was unacquainted with the text of the inquiry, and he is quoted thusly: T spent more mon ey than I should have, but I kept within the law" We are inclined to view Sutherland's sta atement with much more grace than Marquam's aecus9.tion

They offered their line of merchan- disc openly and to strangers. Final ly they were pinched. What did these fellows get, you ask?

ITO SHORTEN SALMON CATCHING
SEASON

The American Fish Commission is advised that the Canadian fish cries officials are thinking seriously of shortening the fishing periods for salmon. Already, in some locali- ties such as the territory north of the Frazier River, the closing time has been increased a full week. Re- ports of the salmon pack in British Columbia are to the effect that the pack, up to August 13, has amount ed to 374,832 cases as against 786, 697 cases August IA, 1926 and 679,1 "A cases August 15, 1925. The big decline is in "pinks" but chums or dogs, are also tagging far behind in lumber. On the other hand the the sokoi run held up very well with the catch of 1926.

ANOTHER MYSTERY OF THE SEA

Two thousand miles off shore, on the 9th of August, the steamship LiberatOr sighted an abandoned submarine floating light and high ill the Atlantic Ocean. A boarding crew was sent aboard, but no ex- aination could be made of the boats interior on account of foul gas. The Liberator's chief engin ger, iii an endeavor to get down in to the submarines engine room, was partially asphyxiated and had to be hauled out. So far as could be ascertained the vessel had been stripped, and the matches were re- moved so that she would founder and sink. She wasn't considered worth the 2,OOO mile tow to port. There was some sea at the time and the last view of her from the Liberator's deck was low in the water. Very probably she sank during the night. On each side of the boats coming tower were the marks: O-2. There was no hailing port. She was 175 feet long and apparently in good condi tion.

DOCTOR AND DOUBT

pr. Earl Graves, veterinarian land graduate of Kansas State Agri-
 cultural College has been visiting Petersburg and vicinity lately iii 1 the interest of the blue fox indus try. The Doctors itinerary and th4 interest taken in the Alaska fox business is according to cooperative agreement between the Biological Survey of the U. s. Dept. of Agri-
 culture and Governor George A. Parks. pr. Graves is incharge of the field operations. The sum of $15,00C
 has been appropriated by the Terri tory for this mission for the years 1927 and 1928, in addition tc funds allotted by the Biological Sur vey.
 In talking with a number of fox farmers it appears that the general  feeling is somewhat luke warm, On-
 ly, bearing on the expected results
 of tn Doctors visits In fact it is
 quite openly given out that there is la considerable outlay of funds for no particular benefit to anyone out
 side of those on salary basis; that there is considerable headway being
 made in getting nowhere. It is true enough there is little standardiza- tion in the fox industry of Alaska. Hardly any two fox farmers feed
 alike, there. are different views on caring for stock, breeding, housing
 and even down to the proper time itc relt. However, one thing is ab-
 solutelyl sure and that is the heavy
 morta lity rate of young foxes is

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

to carry the load is not the fault of the mills, but rather the defect in management ill continually adding current to consuming devices be- yond the generators capacity to serve. /
 Now that we have gotten into somewhat tight position, the saw
 mill will undoubtedly assist in
 relieving the situation by strict
 economy in current and in alternate
 operation. It is fortunate that there
 were those on the Council who look
 ed On the proposed sidetracking of
 the mills as unfair, unreasonable
 and probably illegal.
 The above was written for the
 October 21st issue of THE ALAS
 KAN, but just before press time it was decided to postpone the printing of it until this week in order to pro-
 cure additional information. In line with this We have what ftook place at Councils light and power meeting of October 25 and we have gone over the matter with those who were directly interested in electrical installation at the mill in Petersburg and Scow Bay. Then, too, there is the editorial in the Petersburg Press.
 At the last meeting of the City Council. October 25, a sort of word less and funeral-like affair, the vote on the matter of the mill power was finally settled-for the time,
 at least IT. by practically closing down the mills. True enough they aren't entirely shut off from power,
 but the hours they may use it and when is virtually elimination. Dinner didn't vote for this onesided proposition.
 Our contemporary, the Press, lik- ems the light and power furry to a tocthache which, one is lead to be- lieve, the editor had when he pen ned the Our Power Service" ar ticle.
 Here's this: "The two local mills using city juice were hooked up with the understanding that they
 might be cut off if and when the
 city could no longer give them pow er." Nothing true in this state ment at all. Tn truth the city went some out of it's way to induce the mills to install motors and use cleo trical energy instead of employing
 steam. Here's some more, in de- lirium:
 Although the rated power of the headsaws in each of the mills
 is stated to be 75 horsepower, it is a wellknown fact that for such use
 the motors can draw a ratio of four
 to one for a few minutes if neces-
 sa.ry *** This means that each
 motor can therefore draw a load
 of 250 horsepower from the line"

GLEAM OR GLOOM

Friday the lights and power went off again and with bang. Seems like this electric proposition of ours is more of a plaything for anna teur electrician than business affair calling for knowledge, eXperi ence and careful attention.
 It is high time that the city's hydro-electric plant and the trans mission of it's energy be taken seri- ously instead of as a joke. Peters burg has grown out of the swad- ding clothes of infancy even if it's venture into electric light and pow CT hasn't, and the call is for those who have the management and care of the system to spruce up and real ize that current is a vital part of city welfare. It must be supplied continuously, day and night. The city's needs are wrapped up now in electric current and the making and distribution of it must be handl- ed in a big way and with under standing.
 During the past week, since the line repair of damage of the last storm, the current has been fiuc- tuating, low in voltage and unsatis- factory. Why? Is there heavy leakage along the line, are the in, sulators broken or cracked?
 There are those who profess a knowledge of things electrical say that of the current generated at Blind Slough only two-thirds of it get so far as Scow Bay. How much of it gets to the city? It is easy to say there's a heavy loss; is there actual knowledge of the quantity and pressure at the lines end here in town? It's long distance be- tween the city and Blind Slough and, naturally. with no stepping up equipment on the line there'll be difference in the current here and there, but how great difference?
 That there's to be another motor and generator added soon, and ad- ditional piping laid only helps mat te1s to the extent of having more to play with and more current to lose. It will add no more wisdom to the present management. There should be efficiency and economy then; there must be efficiency and economy now.
 And there's deal more attach ed to this dead wire situation than inconvenience. Every minute that the town is without it's electric light. power and heat, there are DO tential damages staring it in the face, Down to brass tacks it's this: If it's equipment, more than what we have, to better the system, let's get it and get it quick. If it's lack of ability and technical knowledge in management that's part, or all of the trouble, let's make an improvement. If it's a combination of misfts let's tackle the situation as business folk and not as cliques, nor clans, nor po- litical string pullers. ~
 The proposed plan of chopping off the mills-sawmills- leav- ing them stranded without current. IS neither fair, business-like, nor does it solve anthing. It should be remembered that the city, some time back, was muchly pleased when the two mills agreed to do their cutting by electric power. Tn truth, one of the mills was the first user along the line to call for cleo tricity in quantity and the was mighty glad to supply it.
 Right now the mills are as fully entitled to power, if they pay for 1t, as the Trading Union, the nov le shows, the heating systems of the town or any other current user
