 SEPTEMBER, STATED

r Some 40 halibut fishermen operat- ing between 60 and 70 boats added grand total of 2,12S,35O pounds of sea food to Seattle's provision chest in September, and incidentlly received $227 ,649 for their labors at sea, ac- cording to the figures for the month by H. Lokkan, manager of the Fish ing Vessel Owners Association at Seattle.
 The quarter of a million and better is practical addition to Seattle's payrolls, for which it is money receiv- ed for raw products wrester from the ocean depths, it really amounts to wages, or better than ordinary wages, averaging nearly $500 per fisherman, gross. Out of this, gear, bait, fuel and the like must be purchased but tidy sum is left out of the total to recom- pense the fishermen for the toll and danger of the wide waters.
 The figures for September are slightly higher than for the preceding month, when a total of 2,095,9OO pounds of halibut, sable fish and mix ed cod was sold here. This catch was valued at $220,745.
 September figures were: Halibut 1,334,O50 pounds, valued at $1S2,651; sable fish, 7O5,750 pounds valued at $43,227; mixed cod, 88,500 valued at $1,771.

ALASKA DAY III OCTOBER Is

The formal transfer of Alaska from under the Russian
 flag to the Stars and Stripes took place at Sitka on October 18 1867 Since that memorial day the tide has risen and receded on various occasions but marked a ways by steady constructional advancement.
 There are many who still declare Alaska Is going backward in population this undoubtedly is true but from the chaff the wheat remains and these the pioneers are forging links in history which in the decades to come they will receive their reward.
 Aside from the petty larceny troubles which constant y arise one needs but look about make survey of things as they are today in comparison ohe years gone by to realize Alaska is in the ascendance.
 Cheer up folks! Things could be worse.
