SEATTLE SPIRIT
Territory

Darwin Meisnest, Sales Manager of the Pacific Coast Cement Con- pany and former graduate manager of the University of Washington Athletics, thinks he has found ont the reason why Alaska halibut fish ermen sell their catches in Prince Rrpert. It is, he say, because they can get their liquor
 His argument would seem to be that if Seattle had this fluid, the fishermen would journey there or to San Francisco
 I'e calls the problem, "the pres, ent trend of halibut to eastern mar kets via Prince Rupert and the Can adian National Railway, instead oe Kctchikan and Seattle and Ameri can lines"
 Meisnest may have been a won dcrful manager of football teams, but he is woefully ignorant of the principles of simple business.
 he halibut fishermen take their goods to Prince Rupert because they can get a better price there than in Seattle. Isn't that a good reason. MT Meisnest?
 1t is not the liquor that attracts, it is the price per pound
 We would also inform Mr. Gradu- ate Manager of boys clubs, that fish sod in Ketchikan also go east via Prince Rupert.
 The spirit of Seattle is clearly seen in section 27 of the Jones Ma r;De Act passed for the benefit of Seattle. This law permits a ship rent south from Vancouver to Se- attlc, but forbids it north from the same point to Alaska. The effect is this-on every ton of freight con- signed to Alaska from Chicago and eat, instead of getting a terminal rae (same as rate to seattle), we p"y tribute to the steamship com- panies equal to the steamer rate from Seattle to Alaska ports. In Kethcikan this amounts to 1000, 900 per year.

MINERALS

''There is nothing in this section of the Territory worth prospecting for" said a newcomer recently. We picked up a report by the late Dr. Alfred Brooks and found 1t teeming with valuable information relative to minerals and mineral formation in this section. Old prospectors wnO have spent much time in the hills tell of prospects which run from Q few cents up to twenty, thirty and forty ollars the ton. But it takes time and money to develop to a stage where capital would be Interested in them. Reports from Prince of Wales Island for many years indicate much mineral in va ried forms to bring about a wonder ful development in that section. Fake section has it's coal which compares favorably with the B. C., CT Utah product and Totem Bay has given up it's specimens of th.e same product. But they all go beg ging for development.
 No, there is no mineral in this section of the Territory and there will be none until men go out into the hills and really search for it as done in other sections.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION


 Complaint is being made thar some little fellows are opening mail boxes in the postoffice and in some instances, misplacing mail
 We are taking the liberty of calling this to the attention of pa rents because our genial Postmast CT is not always in position to chase the little fellows away.
 To interfer, with the delivery of United Sta,es mail is a serious busi- ness-whether by man or child. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

WHERE IS THE PROsPECTOR

Only few years ago it was a com mon sight to see men, singly and in pairs, rowing or sailing from one point to another, and then dis appearing into the hills for days. weeks and months. Going back in the hills, now, on the mainland, one can find many traces of placer and hard rock mining. What has be- come of those men and why have they quit the hills? Are the Alas kans of today less hardy less at tracteed by the lure of gold?
 We think not. We believe that the dirth in mining is due to lack of earning power. Tn days past the miners were also fishermen and t"appers and they were able to earn enough to grubstake an outfit to last them through the period they

 SEWERS HAD NOT CAUGHT ANY SALMON.
 Long before the salmon reach the spawning areas and the bays and estuaries where seines can be oper- ated, the traps have taken their toll cf the supply.
 The burden of conservation falls upon the resident fisherman. His ea rnipgneorw xxx xxxvz b earning power is diminished, he is kept in perpetual slavery without the advantage of a "cultural wage"
 Resident Business Man Is Hurt
 The resident business man shuts his eyes tor the conditions or de"b- erately becomes a sycaphant for the cr1mbs which might fall from the tables or like the dog, waits for the bone which might be thrown to them
 The canners, in the main, operate commissaries or stores. They re- ceive preferential freight rates and compete with resident business.
 They hire 75 per cent of their labor from the States and by con- tract pay them off only at point of contract

WHAT'S GOOD FOR WASHINGTON \
 WILL DO FOR ALASKA

Many thousands of dollars arr, being lost to the Territory by the s-'ike being waged by the trollers on the summer fishing grounds. The striking trOllers claim, and with reason, that they were unable 10 Is S-5 cents per pound. Even when these prices were being paid,. many of the trollers were unable to move away from moorings in the diffet- ent bays because of the lack of gas ollne and oil as the oil companies refused to advance credit to the fish ermen and those who did put out their poles were unable to pay ex- penses With the expectation of heavy run of salmon, the buyers made two cuts in prices-down to 156-5. According to spokesmen Of the Union, this was contrary to an agreement made last year when bo,r parties agreed to give a 8-day notice before making any demand for, or change in prices.
 m penses
 Statement by spokesmen for the buyers is to the effect that they could not continue to operate at th4 early spring prices. Result the strike.
 Logical Results
 The press of Alaska, last year, without any knowledge of fisheries made the statement that the troll CTS were making daily catches of five and six hundred dollars worth of fish daily. This transformation led many trollers in the States to core up this way, putting more boats than usual in competition for 8 light spring run of salmon Troll CTS, who ordinarily would have made a living wage failed to make ends meet
 The Remedy
 in the States of Oregon and Washington, no one may fish fOr i commercial purposes until he has established residence for a pe- riCd of one year immediately prior l to issuance of license. These privi- l legged fishermen come to Alaska skim off the cream of the fishing ard return to their own waters from which Alaskans are prohibited | from fishing
