RACE DISTINCTIONS IN
VIRGINIA

Down in "Old Virginia." a bill
has been introduced in the legis-
lature. and has passed the lower
house, known as the Racial In
tegrity bill. and defines Negroes
as persons having any ascertain
able amount of Ethiopian blood
without reference to limit of time
or number of generations, and
would define Indians as persons
having one-fourth or less of
white blood would still be regard
ed as Indian. but if he had any
Negro blood whatsoever within
his veins, he would be a Negro.

a race with an uneven and unstable
measure of explanation. 1t was then
that Chief Cook exclaimed:

HERRING "TRAMPS"
 OF THE SEA

Not many people know that the herring get to be 30 years old and that they are consid- cred the tramp fish" of the undersea world. This fact is vouched for by Olaf Floe, man. ager of the Northwestern Her ring Company's plant at Port Conclusion, southern end of Baranof Island, in an article in the Ketchikan Chronicle. MT. Floe says that an eminent Norwegian who has made a study of herring all his life, ad- mitted that science had learn ed very little about the habits of this numerous fish, and that they are known to live thirty years. ''I call herring a tramp fish because they have no reg ular habits the same as sal mon and other species, as far as known" said MT. Floe. They are one of the most prolific of spawning fish in existence and if their eggs were not destroyed by natural enemies they would soon pack the oceans. It has been demon strated that the herring in the colder waters of Boring Sea and the North Sea and near Iceland are slower to mature and are generally larger than the herring in warmer waters. The unprecedented herring run recently near Unalaska, and the big run in Chatham Strait at the present time indi- cates that there are plenty of herring. Moreover, most of the herring caught in Alaskan waters are what we generally term ocean herring and it is generally believed, though not proven, that the greater part of the herring spawn in the ocean. It is known that they can spawn at a considerable depth." s,a

Deer hunters in Southeastern Alaska are finding no scarcity of game, according to reports received by the Alaska Game Commission. The animals are reported to be in fine condit- ion. Forage has been plentiful. The fawn crop this year is known to have been excellent, and unless there should be an extra heavy fall of snow this year, causing the deer to starve, there will be no short age of deer for several seas- ons.

The Alaska Railroad steamer Alice, which was hemmed in by the ice at Dugan Creek, while upbound from Tanana to Nenana, on a special voy- age, is apparently there for the winter. The hoped for warm spell, which might have cleared the Tanana River part tally, did not come, and with the ice growing firmer each day the problem now is to place the vessel in a safe place for the winter. It is believed that the passengers are now at Hot Springs, which is only 10 miles below Dugan Creek.

Gold deposits on which Flat rests are too valu- able to be left and the dredge is now moving up the main street with business being nov ed out of the way. Both the Matheson dredge and that of the Riley Investment Company are said to have experienced their most successful season in years.

While no authentic cases of tularemia are known from Alaska, biologists of the U. s. Bureau of Biological Survey are said to be looking for evil dence of that disease in the North. Several months ago, when this disease was first dis covered, a warning was issued by the bureau. The disease oc- CUTS in epidemic form among rabbits, wiping out the animals in entire sections. As Alaska rabbits disappear intermittent ly from the ravages of some unknown disease, it was thought it might be tularemia. This epidemic is said by scien- lists to be communicable to man and frequently with fatal results. In issuing its warning regarding the eating of rabbit meat, the Biological Survey advised that such food be thoroughly cooked in order to destroy any germs that might be present in it.
