MAJOR STRONG-DONROVIN

The following by the Alaska Weekly, Seattle, is mighty fine description of the late Govern or Strong so we reprint it in part
 His appointment as Govern or of Alaska in 1913 was r0t al- together pleasing to the coliti- clans but was hailed with icy by ,he t0r7mon people of the ter rltory, who throughout j:i5 five years Cf service in that clparltv were the most welcome of guests at the Governors man sion and who knew that they had a frieni al court so long as u. 6 E.ljor was governor. His friends in the hills-the miners and prospectOrs-kneW that when he said, Come down to my road house and see me" that he meant just what he said and that a good meal and a pleasant chat awaited them when they had a chance to call at the Gov- ernor's Mansion.
 Major Strong, was a happy
 
 warrior, Fighting always for the right, as he saw it, he fought Joyously and without rancor or bitterness. He was a magnif- cent friend and a delightful en- emy for his enmities were found ed on principle and personalities were submerged. When he had fought the good fight and the smoke cleared away he was ready with that unforgetable winning smile and the hand clasp: that disarms hatred. Yes s--Alaskans loved Major Strong and still love him.. The courageous, kindly, clean spirit of the man could not have died. So long as there are sourdoughs that spirit will be vital inf1u- ence and Alaskans will be proud to'claim kinship with him in the great sourdough clan.

SOME RUN OF FISH

A fisherman from the Bristol
 Bay writes as follows:
 "Close season begins at six
 o'clock Saturday and continues
 until six o'clock Wednesday. Re-
 gently a. trap tender left the cannery for one of the traps on a Wednesday afternoon and was at the dock before seven o'clock with a scowload of salmon. Be- fore seven o'clock Thursday morning a total of eight scoW- loads of salmon were delivered from that one trap"
 An average scowload of sal mon holds 10000 fish. Before one hour after close season was delivered to the cannery 10000 salmon from the trap and before 12 hours had elapsed 100000 salmon were delivered from the one trap.
 This under the Watchful eye of Bureau of Fisheries agents.
 We cannot conceive of such a quantity of fish getting into this or any other trap-legally. The entire operation resolves itself to the fact that the trap was fishing before six o'clock We'd nesday and all the fish deliver ed were illegally caught.
 The law and regulation is for resident Alaskans-not. for the migratory eXploiters and pros ii tuters of the fishing industry.
 And the Bureau of Fisheries agents-from O'Malley down to his imported creek Watchmen- are parties to said operations.

DULUTH, Minn., Aug. 16. - H. Olson, aged 29, Duluth dock work CT, confessed here to the staying of Dorothy Aune, in Minneapolis, last Tuesday. Chief of Detectives R. E. Donaldson expressed doubt concerning the mans story.
 Olson told the police he was drunk last Tuesday. He wandered to a vacant lot and went to sleep When he awoke he saw the Aune girl go by.
 q did not know what I was doing. I do not think did any thing to her but when she began screaming I killed her I then be- came scared. I found some gum nysacks, wrapped her in tall grass, I do not remember anything l did" said Olson.
 Olson was arrested by the police when he attempted to commit sui eide, saying he hoped to escape punishment. He tied rocks around his neck, waded out into the water to his chin trying to drown him. self

actually entertained young engi- neer in their home some time be-. fore and this fact drove the vicar to demand vindication at law.
 The action failed; Heiling was cleared of the charges against him and Beautiful Mas Home was characterized as a book about any Dutch town, with entirely fictitious characters.
 But a wedge had been entered into the happiness of the flesh-and- blood vicar. Despite the clear na- ture of the testimony in court. the Heermans could not erase the sus- picion that had touched their home.
 At last both realized that they could no longer be happy together. Divorce followed-and still the crlst whisper was not dead in the town. The break in the vicars family ap- parently did nothing but increase its virulence.
 One afternoon, without warning, she took a revolver from her bu- reau drawer and pressed it to her temple. ..
 Real life and fiction had met at strange and tragic crossroads.

Australia s CooI Trade Is At StandstiH

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 16.- Carrying coals to Newcastle is a phrase that has become literally realized in Australia.
 Australia has abundant coal sup plies, but for months the industry has been at a standstill because of the high cost of production. The owners sought, by protracted negotiations and conferences, to in- duce the miners to consent to a wage cut, but the cry mot pen ny off the pay, not minute on the day" was raised.
 Then the South Australian Gov ernment Railways began to import fuel from Great Britain rather than pay the high prices for Aus tralian coal. Next the owners closed the mines, and for some months now orders for thousands of tons have been going to Eng land and New Zealand.
 The trade in South American ports that once took supplies from Australia has been lost.

book Mia, bored with the monotony of life in the village, allows her. self to become infatuated with a young engineer, who is in the town on business. There follows love affair, glowingly and realistically described by the author. Then the engineer gallant leaves town-and Mia is in despair.
 The novel is brought to a grim conclusion by the suicide of Mia.
 Just another gloomy novel in the modern manner for the outside world-but a bombshell for Emmen.
 The villagers knew, of course, that no hint of scandal had ever touched the vicar's wife. They knew that she was a quietvoiced, per- feGtly contenoea. young womals who certainly had given every evidence of being in love with her husband. But the gossip rolled up as gossip does and finally tumbled against the ears of the vicar and his wife.
 Then Mynheer Herman, reused by the prairie fire of talk in the town, brought suit against the au- thor of Beautiful Mas Home" It was true that the IIeerman's had
