ObERL|N COLLEGE LAYS
 CLAIM ID "sKEDADDLE''

OBERLIN, Ohio. Aug. ?. "Ske- daddle!"
 The warning cry employed in the Civil war by Union forces which found themselves tightly pressed by Dixie troops was the invention of Oberlin College men, alumni assert.
 It was originally a corruption, they say, of "skedannumi," a Greek word meaning ito scatter"
 Gen. Miles w. Shurtleff, professor at Oberlin, commanded a regiment of negroes, and many of his subordi- mates were from Oberlin, where stu dents knew their Greek Corrupting the Greek word, officers and negroes alike evolved "skedaddle," which found it's way into the dictionary as a coloquialism and spread throughout the country, even across the Mason Dixon line.

OMaley peats the action of few weeks ago with respect to the Bristol Bay region and the herring industry in the vicinity of Kodiak Island the wisdom of his action is questionable It has been authotavey reported that herring saltey men had prepared to into the native reserve waters of the Westward just prior to the issuance of the order prohibiting whites fishing in these waters The result was that the operators compelled to sustain loss ncud ing their seasons supplies and wages of saey employees that these latter under the contract signed lost seasons wages.
 The question of conserving salmon and herring is fraught with many complexities but in the general debate one feature stands out apparently having great merit This the recommendation that means be employed for n creasng the aids for salmon to multiply by clearing the streams of Instructions and keeping the spawning beds free from predatory enemies and pollution
 On this question all cannery operators and some bers of the Bureau of Fisheries agents statonsd in Alaska are agreed.
