Mixing bowl sets have more

which are decorative adjuncts to
the modern kitchen.
Al nest OF bowis will serve pri.

is the holding of leftovers in the

for this purpose.

''Northerners are often asked

nations Of Europe; the Monaghan,

and Chinese and many other
tribes and nations, and the Ethi-

 Have you wondered MT. Busi- ness Man. how many of you ii Alaska are going to declare a dl- vidend for this year, let alone a quarterly dividend? And how many Of your fishermen custom CTS are going to do without many of the common necessities of life which you sell?

challenges that statement and charges that his administration of the Alaska fisheries is by and with the consent of the Big Packing Combine, that his re- gulationS are to protect their in terest alone and NOT for the conservation of the fisheries.
 Why Close Yakutat Area?
 Capt. M. B. Dahl this fall went
 to Ya&utat to buy echoes from
 the fishermen. He found that the Libby, McNeil & Libby can- nery were paying 15 cents f)r the same kind of salmon that they were buying for 85 cents in
 this end of the Division. So Captain Dahl offered 30 cents and got the fish. The next trip to Yakutat the company Offer9d t35 cents so Dahl went them bet ,ter by paying 40 cents. Before .be finished getting his load one 'of those peculiar O'Malley flats was issued closing down the Va kutat district.
 Now earlier in the fall Cap tain Dahl saw MT. O'Malley ard was assured implicitly and be- Iyond question that there W2s ino reason why Dahl should not procure all the salmon at Yaku- tat he desired and that he could proceed without fear of the bH- reau.

THEY MAKE OUR FISH LAWS

Going back over the hearings before the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee in Wash ington, 1921, Representative Ed mUnds of Illinois, Packing House District, Chicago, he has this to say: MT. Edmunds. I may be dense, but from my own experi- ence and observa ton up there, l would say that fishing by traps gave the fish more chance to reproduce than did fishing by nets and purse seines.
 MT. Sutherland. No that is not a fact.
 MT. Edmunds. That is my own observation. I saw it myself; I saw hundreds of nets, and of course the fish had no opportun- ity to get into the streams.
 MT, Sutherland. That can be done.
 MT EdmundS. And I know this, if you set trap and it is .set properly, the fish have a chance to go upstream"
 The joker being that If the traps WE'RE SET right they would give the fish a chance to .go ID Stream-BUT they are set to get all the fish. It matters not whether the fish are caught by seine or trap, if not enough are permitted to escape the in dustry will suffer and the Ter ritory must suffer the conse- .sUenceS in the end.
 The primary object in the fight of Alaskans is preservation of salmon and preservation of population. Without the fisher ies industry the residents of the territory will be. without means of earning a livlihood; without population industry and busi- ness must go to the walls of bankruptcy. Your choice, gen. tlemen.
