ADMIRAL WATSON GETTING
 BOILED UP

The steamer Admiral Watson when she returns to the Alas ka run will be a f1rst-class tourist vessel. At present she is being overhauled. All state rooms are being converted to two-berth rooms with hot and cold water in every room.
 The Eitel Frederick, German liner interned during the World War and seized by the United States as a German raider, was recently purchased by the Pa cif1c Steamship Company. She will b eput on the Seattle San Diego run. This vessel is five hundred feet in length and was formerly used on the trans-At- lantic run.

SOMETHING TO WORRY

It is being reported that ma rine insurance rates in Alaska have gone up five per cent. The loss of the Brunvold and Imper- ial, halibut boats, the disaster to the steamer Starr and tug Roosevelt are said to be reason for the raising of the rates.
 Cordova claims that coast cutter stationed at that port would be of more practical benefit to the halibut industry than stationed at Junau. If so, then Cordova should have that coast guard cutter. Aside from social activity in and around Juneau, there are some who all lege that the Unalga is as neces- sary in the section of the capi- tai city as a sixth toe on mans foot.

 BY SENATE

Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, pres ident of the Alaska Agricultural College who recently appeared before the Senate Committee in support of the extension of the Hatch and Smith-Lever Acts to Alaska, stated that Alaska would receive an appropriation of $25,000 from the two Acts.

WOULD ENLARGE BUREAU
 ACTIVITIES

Representative White { Rep. ) of Maine is sponsoring a bill for the expansion of the activities of the Bureau of Fisheries while two Senate measures relating to load lines for American ship ping and payment of wages to Seamen may be considered by the House Committee on Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries during the present Congress
 MT. White is chairman of the committee, and author of the White Fish Law which governs the Alaska fisheries. It was the opinion of MT. White that no major legislation would be en- acted as this session of Congress would be too short.
 House Bill 1883, providing a flve-year construction an d maintenance program for the Bureau of Fisheries, which was passed by both Houses at the last session of Congress but was not approved by the President, he said, may merit some recon sideration by the Committee He will confer with the Department of Commerce and with others regarding the future course on this subject. The importance of the fisheries to the people of this country and the threatened depletion of the supply of many kinds of fish, in his opinion, require serious consideration.

KETCHIKAN TASTES CUP OF
 DEFEAT

The much touted basket shooters from the First City measured strength Monday and Tuesday evenings in the Sons of Norway Hall with the com ing Champs of the First Divi- sion.
 The game Monday was a slow affair which Petersburg took to the tune of 13 to g. The boys pulled their plays so that the two teams seemed pretty-evenly matched. The first half ended with a score of 8 to 4-Peters- burg on the long end of the handle. The second half the Ketchikan boys stood pat on their defensive play and Peters burg played many long shots for the basket. The score end ed 13 to g.

The Alaskan Glacier Sea Food Co.,, shipped out nine tons of shrimp meat on the steamer Northwestern and two and a half on the steamer Queen.
 Dinner says he will start buy ing halibut as soon as the sea- son opens and will likely have a shipment or two ready be- tween the 18th and 18th of the month.
 The market, Earl says, looks better than he has ever seen it. Cold storages are about cleaned out and prices promise to be real good providing the boats do not crowd in and kill the market. Very few salmon are showing up, but a few last month brought 36 cents a pound at Ketchikan.
 The outlook for trout is very good and prices will be high.
 Steelhead regulations are back where they were before the last changes, for the present. Alto gether every indication points t ca good year for the fishing industry.
 The spruce industry, accord ing to Earl, also is coming in for a big boost this year.

INSTALLING IRON CHINKS

The E. B. Demming canning interests placed orders last fall for $150,000 worth of salmon dressing machines with the Smith Cannery Machine Com pany of Seattle.
 This equipment will be install cd in the 10 canneries operated oy the Pacific American Fisher ies. which company is headed by Deming. Obsolete machinery will be junked. The iron chinks, 25 in number, will give this com pany an output of 625,OOO dress cd salmon every eight hours.
 This order is based on cycle records of salmon-next sum- mer according to the experts" will be the big run, in spite of the short season now prescrib- ed. sw
 Deming refused to merge with a number of other companies Since that time they purchased other canneries making them the largest company in the ter ritory with IS canneries in Alas ka and in Washington.

QUINAULT SEASON FAILURE

Even the most optomistic of the Quinault Indian fishermen expressed conviction toward the end of June that this is an off, season for the Bluebacks, or Quinalt river salmon. Indians fishing on the lower Quinault river continued making light catches through June.
 Gamers handling Bluebacks this season have not given out estimates of the amount expect ed at the outset. Prices to the fishermen have continued since the first of the season at 85c per fish regardless of size, delivered at the Tahola dock.

THE SECOND GAME WAS A
 WALKAWAY

The second game started with "Lightnin" Gordon in the line up. He added a lot of pep and zest to the game. The local boys opened up and gave the Ketchikan the works. Took the visiting team apart to see how they ticked, put them together and shot baskets almost at every wish. Gordon demon strated an uncanny ability to break through and disrupt the defense of the visitors. He shot several baskets which were not so bad. His team work with Mjorud and Runstad was very clever. Runstad and Miorud beth opened up and made their usual canny shots from differ ent angle of the floor. In this game Ketchikan was lost, had no defense and not much of fense. The game ended 35 to 12.
 The score does not indicate the fight that Ketchikan put up. They were a game bunch of lit tie fellows and they were fight ing up until the toot of the last whistle.
 Dick Hanson and Ed Lynch were the officials of the game.

SPECIAL RATES FOR sTUDEN

Word is sent out by Dean Ernest N. Patty of the Alaska College that Dr. Charles E. Bun nell, president of that instltu- ton obtained from the Secre- tary of the Interior the promise of reduction in rates for stu dents who enter the college. The special rates will be over the Alaska Railroad and will go in- to effect in September, the be- ginning of the next academic year. Students will receive round trip ticket for the price of one. This will be of special ben eft to students from the south ern end of the territory who must purchase tickets from Seward to Fairbanks.
 It is expected that by this ar engagement, enrolment at the college will be augmented.

WILL BACK MOVEMENT TO
 SEND BOYS WESTWARD

Considerable interest is being shown by the several members of the Club in the efforts of the local boys to bring the basket ball championship to Peters burg. At this time there is ev- cry indication that they will. They have a percentage of 1000 in the series so far. Ketchikan and Wrangell have met defeat at the hands of the local boys; they have yet to meet Juneau and Douglas. Reports are that the Gastineau Channel boys will have to travel a lot faster than they are going now to even make a tight game.
 In event the boys win the championship the Club will sponsor a community meeting to raise funds to send the boys Westward to measure strength with westward teams. This is thought an opportunity the boys may never have again. A trip to the States is uncom- mon while a trip to the vest ward is seldom, if ever taken.

ASKS FOR TAX ON CLANS

A letter was received by the Chamber of Commerce from M. B. Dahl and MT.

The resolution is forth coming as everyone in the Club is of the opinion that the clam industry needs every protection from foreign competition.

liquor law violations were included in the blanket description of fe.on- ies contained in the code. If there --s such misunderstanding it sh ..l be corrected" he said.
 The crime code became effective September 6, 1927, and since that time IS men and one woman have been given the mandatory life im- prisonment sentence. The fourth offense of six of these. including Mrs. Etta Mae Miller of Lansing, was violation of the liquor law.
 The first to feel the provisions of the law was Fred Palm of Lansing. convicted on liquor law violation charge September 29. 1927. His case came to be known as the life for pint" case, because his final con- viction was based upon the posses sion of small amount of liquor. In Palms case. however. his previ- ous record included convictions for various other crimes. That of Mrs. Miller was entirely on liquor law of- lenses. She was sentenced Decem- Der 31, 1928. It was her case that indirectly led to the furore over the laws provisions and inspired the legislative activity for an amend ment.

 One Room Huts House Family "The peasants house is one room structure which might be mis- taken for a stable. The tribesmen reserves one side of his abode for his animals whil his family occupies the other side. kurds sit on the floor when they rest or eat. there fore they do not need tables or chairs.
 "The tribal chief or headman fares better. He has a house for his fami- ly and a guest house where he lives and entertains his guests. He is of tended if a traveller does not drop i'm Once the traveller has stopped. he must remain for dinner. The food is placed on the floor in the center of the diners Should guest stretch his legs toward another person. convey food to his mouth with his left hand, or fondle the dog. his host is of tended. No knives and forks are to be found in the kurd silver closet but if a guest has difficulty in feed ing himself with his hands, a spoon will be handed to him. Few meals are served that do not include mast (curdled milk) the favorite dish of the Kurd. A little water mixed with the mast makes mastao. the kurd national drink. The tribesmen like vegetables but seldom serve meat.
 A Wife for . Goat
 Under the Moslem law, the kurd may take four wives. Wives are bought. so the peasant usually has only one. The chiefs take the full quota. Wives are priced according to their rank. The tribesman can get wife in exchange for a pony or goat. or one may cost the. equivalent of $2.50o. The wedding entails a sea- son of merrymaking in which the whole tribe joins. but 1t takes less than a minute to dissolve a union. The man simply says I divorce you three times and the parties are free.
 ITO the foreigner. the kurds seem to know little else than the art of highway robbery. Many of the moun- tain tribesmen are adept thieves. but in the hills as we'll as the plains. many kurds earn honest livings by farming and cattle raising. kurds are pastoral people. seldom moving from their villages except to migrate to higher attitudes during the sum- mer for new pasturage. Now and then a whole tribe will move from a village. The tribesman takes his roof. the only valuable part of his hut.
 life is hard in the mountains but the family has time to play. In the summer camp the young tribesmen spend their leisure moments playing touch-last on horseback. Children play a sort of hockey. with crooked sticks and wood balls. Now and then the traveller will see a deck of cards in tent but they are usually used by the children. Gambling is not in dulged in by the tribesmen. who, after hard days work enjoy sitting outside their tents. smoking cigar ettes."

Granting of leave to Dr. Wilbur convinced political circles here that he was slated for . post in the cabinet of President Herbert Hoov- CT. He will leave tonight for Cht cago to attend 8 meeting of the hospital council of the American Medical association. whence he will so to New York and later to Wash mgton for MT.

 Dr. Wilbur admitted belief that Stanford trustees would extend his leave in case of "eventualities."
 ''I shall so to Washington to at- tend the inauguration of my old friend and associate. MT. Hoover. but beyond that I can say nothing" Dr. Wilbur told newspapermen.
 Friends of Dr. Wilbur said they believed the post of secretary of the interior had been offered to him and
