FERTILIZER FROM HERRING
BY Chas. B. Ferguson

In the annual Report of the Bur-
eau of Fisheries for 1910, when
that Bureau was ably managed by
executives who recognised Their
responsibilities as trustees of our
fisheries, the question Of making
fertilizer from herring was thus
summed up:
''1he use Of herring in the manu-
facture of fertilizer and oil as con-
f1icting with it's use by man directly
as a food and bait fish, and Indirect
ly through the dependence of the
valuable king salmon fishery upon
it as food material, gives rise to II
somewhat puzzling question of right
and administrative policy.
The present fisheries law does not
prohibit such use Of food fishes, and
there is now one plant, that of the
Alaska Oil & Guano Co., at Kills
moo, in S. E. Alaska, engaged in the
industry. This year this plant
caught $4,000 barrels of herring.
with an aggregate weight, roughly
Of 11,8OO,OOO ID. Of these all but
1870 barrels which were picked for
use as bait, were converted into
fertilizer and oil,

which take precedent over other
uses with respect to public advan-
tage. Thus the manufacture of fer
tilizer and oil from fishes is lower
use, inferior to the business of pre-
pairing food products from fishes, or
even to their use as bait for food
fishes. Thus the menhaden ranks
lower than the herring. Such o
view in part grows out of the fact
that these fertilizer and oil; products.
quite legitimate in themselves, do
not depend entirely on fish for their
raw material. Furthermore even
hsh fertilizer and fish oil do not de-
pend upon herring, for various nom
edible fishes, as the menhaden, are
available. The general view of
higher use denoted by the appro-
priation of fishes for human food
has widely obtained and is evidence
ed by various legislation prohibit
ing the lower use where it has con-
Aicted with the higher. The de-
pendence of highly priced food
fish and correspondingly valuable
fishery upon another fish as food for
the former, as in the case of the
king salmon upon the herring, may
be classed with the higher uses.
This in fact is one of the most i'm
pCrtant aspects of the value of tho
herring fishery, if not it's chief use.
An important food of the king salm-
on is herring, and as the catching
of king salmon by trolling now
forms one of the most important
and profitable of the fisheries of
S. E. Alaska, no condition that ad-
versely affects it in a material de.
gree should exist unless by 1ustif1ca-
ton of paramount right and i'm
Dortance.
''It is for the future rather than
the present (this was in 191O) that
it is desirable to take action look
ing toward the end of the use Of
herring as the raw material for
fertilizer and oil. It is safe to as
sumo that all the uses of the her
ring are destined to increase, and

themselves selected by the federal
administration. Let it be known
that Congress in it's organic act for
Alaska intended that the two gov
ernments in the Territory should be
separate and distinct, but weak and
spineless legislators have willed
that bureaurocrats over whom the
Alaska people have no control
should select our administrative
officials for us. Is not this fair
question to ask-Why should Con-
gress give the people of Alaska con-
troll of fish, or fur game, or game
animals. If our legislatures are 60
ing to pass that control right back
to bureaurocrats appointed from
Washington just as has been don"
in every case in the past? Even the
Attorney General of the Territory
the one elected official in the Terri
tory is placed in charge and COM
plete control of federal officials and
he cannot serve the people in any
way without the consent of these
officials.
In this matter of relinquishing
the power vested in the people of
Alaska by Congress the recent le-
gislature was no weaker than those
of the past. When it came to serv-
ing the cannery, copper and trans
portation interests all observers
must agree that they outdid any
former assembly. There were a few
who gloried in running errands for
the lobbyists, They were the Gaff-
neys, the Lomens, and Jensens and
Rydeens. To bask in the smiles of
cannery owners deemed to be the
great objective of such members.
When several members had placed
themselves in the power of the loby-
lists they were treated by these fell
lows as chattels. These lobbyists
are paid to get control of legisla-
tors and when they secure one they
take pride in exhibiting their con-
quest to their employers.

while waiting for the determination
of definite plans for the chapels, as
these In many cemeteries will have
an effect on the location Of the walls.
How Graves Are Marked.
In so far as personal monuments In
the cemeteries are concerned, the COM
mission adopted an iron-clad, final
rule that there will be no especial per
sonal monuments. Over each grave
will be a sheadstone, and there will be
the same for officers and privates,
rich and poor, young and old. The
name, rank, organization and home
state will be engraved on each stone.
And they will lie side by side, as they
fell, equal in glory and sacrifice.
The plans for battle monuments
are another and even larger task Of
the commission. They are we'll under
way. and form project which should
be completed in about two years.
The first of the American GENE
teries to be so designated, and to re-
ceive American dead, was that hillside
tract on Mont Valerian, overlooking
Paris and the Seine valley, and called
Suresnes. Everyone from America
goes to Suresnes, both in tribute to our
honored dead, and because there is no
finer view Of the city of Paris from
any nearby hilltops. Suresnes is three
miles from the city limits, on the right
of the Seine below the city. The Gem
etery stands well up on the highest
of several hills, and from its gates
the panorama is uninterrupted for
many miles.
At Suresnes are buried many who
died In Paris hospitals from wounds
sustained In battle, and others who
fell victims of disease and accidents.
1t is most complete of all the Ameri-
can cemeteries in France, in so far
as time has completed 1t by growing
the trees larger, the shrubbery thick
er and finer. Suresnes already be-

any table; their chief food is protein,
such as meats, eggs, starchy foods
and rich pastries which contain large
amounts Of fat and sugar but are
lacking in mineral elements and vita
mines.
1t is far safer, more comfortable
and enjoyable to restrict ones appe-
tite for such foods before constipa-
ton, rheumatism, dyspepsia and kin
dred ills become settled, than to over
come them after the harm is done.
1t is safe rule to follow, that the
one who does Office or indoor work
with little exercise, should eat half
as much as the outdoor worker. It is
better to cut down on the supply, eat
ing what one likes, providing it is a
well-balanced diet, than to fast as so
many do.
Protein is the one food principle
which we need and cannot do without
as it repairs waste and builds muscle.
The sedentary worker should keep
in mind that he needs proteins but
they should be of kind that is readi-
ly digested and converted into body.
proteins. He should eat sparingly of
meat, eggs, beans and these foods
should be added to the diet, only tc
give attractiveness to root, leafy and
milk products as we'll as fruit.
Frequent weighing will give one an
idea if the weight is right If there
is constant increase in weight, the
amount of food should be further cut
down.
With an apple or orange daily, fresh
fruit of other kinds in season, one
will avoid administration or irritat-
ing bacteria in the digestive tract.
With all attention to diet, 1t alone
cannot maintain health; exercise and
fresh air are essential. This is pos.
sible if one has to do it with dumb
bells and before an open window
With the time available the best of
exercise is walking in, the open air, in
sunlight If possible. Five miles is not
too much; begin and increase the
distance until several miles will not
tire you. There is nothing better for
the sleepless than a long walk before
retiring-one that leaves you slightly
weary, physically.

More than half of our soldier dead
overseas were brought home to the
States for burial.
OF the dead not brought back to
America, those which were In 1919 al
ready resting at Suresnes or Brook
wood, or at the sites selected for the
battlefield cemeteries, remained undis-
turbed. The others, from scattering,
temporary battlefield cemeteries, were
reverently moved to their permanent
resting places. This task, carefully
and thoroughly performed by the
graves registration service Of the
army, resulted in an almost complete

Monument Problem.
The cemeteries remain in charge Of
the graves registration service, which
maintains rest houses at each, has
caretakers in charge, keeps complete
records for the use Of visitors and
maintains the grounds, landscape gar
dening and improvements. Further
identifying of the cemeteries has been
placed in charge Of the American Bat
tie Monuments commission, a body
created by congress to take charge of
the whole plan and problem of Amer
lean memorials in Europe.
This monument question Is no SIM
pie one, as anyone who ever visited
the battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa,
will bear witness. States, cities, divi-
sions, brigades, companies, and private
citizens, not to mention memorial as
sociations and societies, are already
vying for the privilege Of placing a
monument at this point, memorial
at that. The government commission
must decide where there shall be mon
uments and who shall raise them. In
similar way the cemeteries have
offered problem. Should individuals
be allowed to place special headstones
or monuments for their loved ones?
Shall churches or societies be al
lowed to erect chapels at the Gene
teries? And so forth.
The chairman of the Battle Monu-
ments commission is Gen. John J.
Pershing. It's membership, appointed
by President Coolidge and serving
without salary, includes Robert G.
Woodside, of Pittsburgh, vice chair
man; Senator David A. Reed, of Penn
sylvania; Representative John Philip
Hill; Representative Finis J. Garrett;
Col. D. John Markey of Maryland. and

the hospitals we used have been re-
turned long since to peace time duty.
A few unofficial monuments mark GER
tain battle scenes, but the official bat
tie monuments are yet in the prelim-
inary stages. The American Legion
naires who return to Europe for their
convention at Paris next September
will miss a great many sights which
were familiar in 1917 and 1918.
But there are eight permanent, plain
and prominent mementoes of the
Legionnaires Of ten years ago-the
eight American military cemeteries
overseas.
These cemeteries, the final resting
places of more than 10000 Of those
who followed Pershing overseas, are
now handsome, well-kept, solemn fields
of honor. At dawn the flag is raised
over each Of them. Each sunset it is
lowered. In each the crosses stand in
