McGREGGOR RESIGNS

United States Deputy Marshal Neil McGreggor rendered his resig- nation to Marshal White this week tc take effect at the convenience of of the Marshal's office.
 MT. McGreggor had been tend cred transfer to Skagway with an increase in salary, but owing to the fact that he had invested quite heavily locally, he did not feel that he would be justified in leaving his investments in the hands of an agent.
 MT. McGreggor is no cheechacko having been resident of the terri rory for the past 27 years with the exception of four years service ov- erseas He has held the office of deputy marshal in Petersbur for the
 
 past six years and has been very good mn for the office. His friends regret his severance with the mar shal's office but hope that his whole attention to his. personal business viii be of benefit to himself and the community.
 Mr. McGreggor plans to put up a 1 two story building 50 by 100 in which he plans to operate first class moving picture show. He has made contract for a large part oi the equipment and hopes to have it going in short order.

PROTESTS DESTRUCTION
 HERRING FISHtRIES

California has law that nothing over 25 percent can be put into fertilizer, and their herring is con sinerably smaller than Alaskas.
 The fact is, that almost every one of these plants operating especially for fertilizer purposes only, do cure few barrels of herring just to make believe that they are com plying with the law.
 Some drastic measures must be can be put into fertilizer. taken, and put a stop to this de- struction of our food supply.
 In my opinion it is the duty of Che newspapers throughout Alaska t., take action, and to see that their line of action is carried out success fully and promptly.
 Wouldn't it be a good idea to get the names of every Congress man and Senator in the United States, and acquaint them with this now existing evil, and they no doubt will bring satisfactory re- suits.
 A plant has been operating at Warm Springs Bay, which accord ing to the writer's belief, is or should be prohibited on the ground that this location should be set aside by the Government as a health re- sclt, as the odor which naturally attends reduction plant carries long distance, and is unhealthy for sick people.
 The only time that herring is good for curing purposes is during the month of July Before July 1st the herring are not fit for curing, and after August 1st, they are not fat enough.
 If any fishing for fertilizer pur- poses should be allowed, it should be with the understanding that not less than 75 percent should be for curing purposes.
 Sincerely Yours,
 s. EMSTOSS.

 Petersburg, Alaska
 Gentlemen:
 Unusually feverish preparations are in progress for the coming sea son among the Fertilizer Plants il Southeastern Alaska.
 Larger and higher powered boats and more modern and additional machinery and equipment, and also several additional plants are being built.
 If this will be alloweG45it will be a very short time wherein the her. ring in Southeastern Alaska will be depleted.
 Not only is it an unneard of crime ly taking food (consisting of her. ring) and putting it into manure
 
 try will miss some time later, be- cause there is no question but that rhe quality is as good as is avail able anywheres.
 The only excuse they offer now is that the herring are not big enough for curing purposes, but the fact remains that there are very few large herring anywheres, and if there would not be any large her ring, there would be a time when everybody would be only too glad to get the small herring.
 But this is not the main thing, because the people of the United States can no doubt get along with out herring from Alaska, as they car buy them from foreign coun- tries if they have to, giving a chance to foreign labor and busi- ness to develop instead of our own. But those who depend upon Alas ha and make their living out of Alaska will find in a very short time that the salmon, following and feeding upon the herring, will also be depleted, for it is a fore gone conclusion, if one is depleted so will the other be also.

Federal forces under General Sun Chuan Fang were reported to have turned back invading forces of the Cantonese and won signal victory at Chuchow, where a sud- den assault drove the rebels from the city.

Blame Dead Fireman
For Williams Wreck

J. D. Wiley, engineer of the engine
which collided with a passenger train
IN the railroad yard at Williams,
on Aug. 5, 1926, was exonerated of
blame in an opinion placed on file by
the state corporation commission.
Blame was placed on his fireman, who
was killed in the accident. The COM
missions opinion states that the fire
man should have notified the engi~
neer of the approach Of the passenger
train which was visible only from the
fireman's side. The commission rec
commended the reinstatement Of Engi-
neer Wiley. The findings of the com
mission are contrary to those Of the
investigation board Of the railroad.
The commission also found that
certain rules and practices Of the
railroad company probably contributed
to the accident. The commission
held that "if a rule is found imprac-
ticable or unavoidable, it ought to be
modified or repealed"

THIEVES ENTER LOCAL
HOME WEDNESDAY EVE

Personal effects to the amount of
nearly $500 were stolen from the resi-
dente of Walter III. Thompson on
North Leroux street Wednesday eve
ming between the hours Of 8 and 8
o'clock. The time of the robbery was
established by the fact that a daugh-
ter, Nadine, remained at home until
q few minutes past eight and Mr..
Thompson returned from his ranch at
10 minutes past nine and discovered
the looting
Nearly all the clothes of the wom-
en- members of the Thompson home
were stolen, besides a gold watch and
two bracelets ard other jewelry. The
thief or thieves even carried their
work so far as to steal every hand
kerchief of all the members Of the
family. Silver, guns and valuable in
struments were not nolested, the cul-
prits evidently being scared away be-
fore they could finish the ransacking.
The sheriff's office was called but
no clues other than few vague foot
prints could be found. It is thought
by the investigators, however, that
there were two Of the thieves.
Entrance was gained through a bed
room window, the screen being torn
out and the lock forced.

Honolulu, June 29.-The Pacific
has been Lindberghed.
Swooping down on Wheeler field at
9:05 a. m. Pacific coast time, Lieuts.
Lester Maitland and Albert F. Hagen
berger completed the first nonstop
flight between the Pacific coast and
the Hawaiian islands.
From takeoff at 7:08 a. m. Pacific
coast time at Oakland, Calf, until it
landed here, it had taken the big tri-
motored Fokker army plane % hours
and 43 minutes to negotiate the 2,400
landless miles stretching between the
mainland and the islands.
Unescorted by an army patrol
which was still out looking for their
plane, the big olive green monster
made pretty landing at Wheeler

after its long flight and the aviators
said they had followed the radio bea-
con route most of the way.
