Objects to Tariff on
 Halibut

MT. H. E. Lokken, represent ing the Fishing Vessel Owners Association of Seattle, appeared before the Committee on Fri day in protest against any ac- tion by Congress that might shut the Pacific halibut vessels out of the Prince Rupert mar ket. MT. Lokken made a very favorable impression upon the Committee. His statement was to the effect that any interfer- ence with the present method of marketing halibut in the Bri- tish Columbia port would be ruinous to the fishermen and vessel owners. He said that there were twenty-five hun dred halibut fishermen on Se- attle and Alaskan boats and that to man they were against the closing of Prince Rupert market. Sutherland supported him in this claim.
 Representatives of the Ketchi- kan business interests have not yet appeared before the Com mittee They will have an op- portunity to do so late in Feb ruary when the free list is un- der discussion. It will be about one month before the Ways and Means Committee reaches this free list part of the tariff bill.
 Dr. Bunnel, of the Alaska Col lege, has departed for the West. One of the bills in which he is interested has passed bot h Houses and now awaits the Presidents signature. It would convey large areas of public land to the Alaska college to be sold for the benefit of the institution.

 Protest will be registered by the local Club to the Legislature that under the present school laws the local school, based on expenditures of 1927, is getting about 75 per cent instead of 85 contemplated by the law. MT Bowman was appointed to take this matter in hand.

Washington News

The past week brings no par ticular change in legislative matters affecting Alaska except that the bill to permit boxing contests in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii has passed both branches of Congress and should receive the presidential approval soon.
 The fight in both branches over the increase in the appro- priation for prohibition enforc- ment has held public attention during the week. The increase was practically defeated in the House this week when the bill went to conference. The in crease was made in the Senate to the amount of twenty-four millions of dollars by what is known as the Harris amend ment sponsored by Senator Harris of Georgia. The House leaders fought the increase and were joined by many heretofore ardent dryS. The anti-saloon leaders were strongly for the in crease. Some members profess to see in the incident a break ing away from anti-saloon lead erShip but it is more probable that the drys who refused to furnish greater funds for dry law enforcement were prompted by desire to not embarrass the i n cOmi g administration by placing this large fund at it's disposal as it is not believed that any great showing of en- forcement could be made in the administration and the drys would clamor for better enforce ment with greater funds at com mand.
 The Ways and Means Com mittee continues it's hearings on the tariff every day. They have passed the schedule that in cludes fish and will not reach that item again until February 24th when the free list comes up

Pictures for Alaska

The ten thousand SchOOl-chil- dren and teachers of Alaska have just received as a gift from the National Association of Audubon Societies, a supply of d-study material which will not only serve to arouse their interest in this important subject, but will teach them better to know and to appreci- ate some of the common birds of their great country. The ma terial consists of the pictures of twenty Alaskan birds reproduc- ed in color from original paint ings by Americas well-known ird-artist, Major Allan Brooks, These are accompanied by text descriptive of the birds.

Nailed to the Floor

The high school basketball team journeyed to Ketchikan last week with a blare of trum- pets and much cheering. Their many friends and admirers ad- monished them to bring home the bacon"
 They got to the First City and took in the sights, ate more than was good for them and generally slacked up physically and mentally. When they met the Ketchikan high school team l the second night they were in town the Ketchikan team played ring around the rosy with our boys. Every one of the local boys was bolted to the floor, and locknUts screwed up 50 tight they could not move out of their own way to get the ball They had no Offense let alone speaking of defense So they had the discomforture of tasting a bit of the short end of scores they had been handing other teams. They were left at the post and never had a hcance to more than let the fans know that they crossed the line at the finish. Score 1877.
 The second game the coaches had found some monkey tools laying loose, So they got busy and tied the local boys loose from their bolts, riVets and nuts s0 that the Ketchikan team did not know whether it was playing basketball or just on the floor to watch our boys pass, dribble and shoot baskets at will. Two lone shots for Ketchikan in the first quarter gave them 4 to23 for Petersburg, Ketchikan still thinks it can beat the local boys. And they can if the boys find another bunch of shackles, bolts rivets or what have you, to stick to the floor with. The team returned on the Alameda Sun day. The defeat did them a little good.

Fish Schedules up in
 Hearings

The Ways and Means Com mittee of the House of Repre- sentatives holds hearings every day from ten o'clock in the morning until five thirty in the evening. These are very inter esting sessions which permit any person who is interested in tariff changes to appear and to state his views The closing days of this week were given to the schedule on agricultural products and provisions which include fish.
 Delegate Sutherland appeared and urged a duty of fifteen per cent ad valorem on shrimp meat now carries a duty of f1f- teen per cent and Sutherland told the Committee that they were both luxuries and quite similar foods and therefore the tariff should be the same on eahc product. Over half a mill lion pounds of shrimp meat is shipped from Alaska every year at a valuation of over two hun dred thousand dollars.
 MT. Sutherland also asked for tariff of four cents per pound on StOckfiSh. This is a product of southwestern Alaska. Resi- dents of the Shumagin group of islands have been engaged in preparing this fish product for the American market since the close of the world war. Dur ing the past three years the Norwegian product has flooded the United States market at a price with which the Alaska producers cannot mpete. Sutherland seemed to have the support of the New England salt fish dealers in asking for this tariff on stockf1sh. AL though Sutherland contended that the duty on salt fish from the vessels should not be reduc- ed but rather should be increas- ed the Gloucester, Massachu- setts, manufacturing interests would have the present duty of one and one-fourth cents per pound reduced to three -fourths of a cent per pound. There seemed to be a difference of opinion among the Gloucester men on this item as several held for the present duty.
 The Alaska delegate asked that the tariff on Scotch cured be increased to two cents per pound. There were represent atives of New York importers of salt herring and mackerel present who urged that all duties be removed from these two varieties of salt fish.
 The hearings are largely a contest between American pro- ducerS and the American inn porters. One man made long appeal for removal of the pre- sent duty of fifteen per cent on crab meat. He represented the importers of Japanese canned
