She is known to have been in Cape Nome for some time also About 1900 she was re- ported to have married Charles A Brown in Dawson City and became Mrs. Florence A. Brown. Charles A.

She is also known along with others to have suspected crooked work on the part of one of the Alaska banks then and came on to New York, engaged ! lawyer and went back to Alaska, bearing the expense of over $2OOO and won. This was about 1902 or 1903. She is. also known to have visited California at times. She t also known to have used the name of Florence A.

HERRING SEWERS BLAMED
FOR SALMON SHORTAGE

Tom Hanbury, veteran troller of Southeastern Alaska, says some of the best king salmon grounds al- ready have been destroyed by sein- CTS catching herring for herring re duetion plants. and the remainder of the grounds will go the same way unless something is done.
 T am 65 years old, Hanbury re gently informed the Ketchfkan Chronicle. T have fished all my life. have been over every foot of the king salmon grounds in South eastern Alaska.
 We used to catch king salmon by hand trolling and power trolling in close to the shore on the ocean side of Baranoff Island. Now we have to go 12 or 14 miles into the Pacific ocean. Why? Because the seiners have destroyed their feeding in close to shore.
 This summer I witnessed fifty Puget Sound seine boats catching herring in one spot near Baranoff Island. Wherever the herring showed up there was a fleet of boats right on top of them with no chance for the small trolling boats. We used to follow the herring to catch king salmon for the kings feed on tn herring and follow them, but this can no longer be done with the big seine boats scooping up the herring I am willing to make a statement that for every 4.000 barrels of her ring taken from the waters not more than 1000 barrels are canned for food purposes. The remainder goes for fertilizer.
 "On this last trip in my little trolling boat, the Comet, left hero July and made the trip to the Baranoff grounds, around Baranoff Island and out in the ocean from Sitka, around to Cape Spencer and back into Icy Straits and Chatham and covered several thousand miles looking for king salmon. Why? B cause most of the old grounds have been killed off by the destruction Of herring
 "The Yes Bay grounds are gone The Hadley grounds are gone. The Chomley grounds are gone. The in shore grounds from one end of the ocean side of Baranoff Island to the other end are gone. Small trollers who used to make their catches in inside and safe waters, now risk their lives by going out into the Pa cific ocean to try and make a living.
 "Unless something is done to stop the wholesale destruction of herring, the natural food for all kinds of fish, there will be no king salmon to catch in few years from now. Ev- cry one In Ketehikan knows me. They know that know the game of fishing, and they know that I back up any statements I make"

Romance Plenty

The massacre of Braddock's splen- did legions by q handful of French and horde of naked savages is the historical high spot of the story, but there is sufficient love romance to satisfy the film hunger of such fans who want to see love in a beautiful setting.
 Tim Mccoy in the starring role. and Joan Crawford as the featured feminine lead, are supported by a notable cast, including Tom O'Brien. Louise Lorraine. Roy Darcy, Frank Currier. Edward Connolly, Lionel Belmore and a number of white and Indian character actors.
 The story is an original from the pen of Peter B. Kyne. and brings into the plot such historical figures as Major George Washington. Gen eral Braddoek, Generals Gage and Gates and Governor Dinwiddie, head of the colony of Virginia in 1755.
 The plot is daring and moves with speed. There are thrills aplenty and suspense up to the final fade out. Mccoy and Miss Crawford have proved splendid foils in beau tiful romance.

REINDEER CANNERY BEGINS
 IMPORTANT INDUSTRY

Alaska has resources, of course, and the dailies of the big cities are just discovering that the Alaska reindeer is to be put in a can. This does not mean that he is to be canned, in the slangy sense, and turned out of his job. The reindeer meat has long been shipped to the markets in the States both dried and fresh, but now it is to be canned anf sent all over the world. A canning plant capable of handling 10000 cans has been shipped to Alaska from Seattle, and this is the begin ming of what promises to be an inn portant industry in the north.-Sew ard Gateway.

THE WHOLE TOWNS TALK ING," 1000 Laughs. with Edward Everett Horton and Virginia Lee Corbin, TriMe Friganza, Otis liar Ian, Dolores Del Rio, Hayden Ste- venson, is a screamingly amusing comedy drama about a romantic young lady who declares that she will marry only man of the world.

 Clare Windsor is featured with Nagel in Tin Hats, and George Cooper, Bert Roach and Tom o.Brien are in the cast. The story is an ori- ginal by the director, and was adapt ed by Donald Lee.

HOW coME.-wHERE FROM
Quantities of Grape Skins Removed
 From Plugged Up Sewer

Somebody in the Woodstock ave nue section of the city must be very fond of grapes. Possibly they had a party and made some fruit punch. Nc one knows. but there is a sufficient quantity of evidence so that Sherlock Holmes would have little trouble n solving the problem of why the sewer was stopped up.
 Late Sunday night Frank Dumas, superintendent of streets. was com ing home from q trip out of town and noticed that a sewer manhole was overfiowiHg. It was too late to do anything to remedy the situation but the next morning he had his men on the scene bright and early.
 After considerable work the cause was removed in the form of quanti- ties of grape skins in which were mixed the remains of oranges, le. mons and bananas. No raisins ap- peared in the mixture. No complain has been entered but the street de. partment will appreciate it If tho person who is making. just what no one knows. will dump the grape skins on the garbage heap.
