!. GOLDSTEIN IS
 BACK FROM SOUTH

L Goldstein, Juneau merchant, accompanied by Mrs. Goldstein and child, returned on the Alameda last night. after spending six weeks in the south, principally in San Fran cisco.
 In an interview with the Brad ley interests he heard optimistic reports of development work on the Taku properties A talk with the Cameron people disclosed nothing new since their filing Of applica- ton for preliminary permit to de- velop a power site at Lake Doro- thy.
 On his return north he conferred with fishermen in Ketchikan and Petersburg regarding two weeks delay in resuming halibut fishing in order to give dealers time to dispose of their surplus of frozen halibut. These conferences were satisfactory, he said.

 CAUSE WORRY

VANCOUVER, B. O., Jan. 29.- The approaching release about the middle of February of 105 Doukho- Dor men and women from Oakalla after serving sentences of six months each for staging nude parade near Nelson, is causing considerable speculation as to what will be dcne with them.
 It is presumed that Government authorities will decide upon some ! scheme for handling them.
 Ordinarily prisoners are released through the prison gates and left to start out for themselves. Should this be done with the 105 Douk- hobors, with their penchant for parades, nude and otherwise, Van coAver might well witness some starting scenes.
 The prisoners were brought here on a special train from Nelson, but ordinary regulations do not provide for their return in that manner. They would probably also be without funds.

 Flying over the drifting ice in Cook Inlet, Nieminen and Cope landed on the snow flats after To- eating the trapper's cabin and within lew hours Gotherberg was on his way to the hospital
 An Indians letter explaining the cause of death as Gotherberg dic- tated, brought the news to Leise The letter stated Gotherberg had killed several of his dogs because he was no longer able to prepare food for them After starting h. eian dog teams toward Cook Inlet to aid the trapper, Leise travelled toward Anchorage hoping to send ia plane out to bring Gotherberg to the open water of the Beluga River.

Will Delay Opening of Sea- son Because of Gut
 of Fish on Market
AGREEMENT IS BEING
 REACHED BY BOATMEN
Alaska Fish Vessels Will Remain Off Banks If
 Seattle Boats Do Same

A glutted frozen fish market and fear of repetition of conditions which existed in 1928 in the halibut industry has caused an exchange of telegrams between the Fishing Vessels Owners Association of Seat tie and Juneau boat owners result ing in an agreement to remain off the fishing banks the first two weeks of the halibut open season. Petersburg and Ketchikan halibut men also have agreed to this. ac- cording to cablegrams received by I. Goldstein, and the c a n d n fishermen will also fall in line, it is said.
 The following telegram addressed to l. Goldstein and Company Ju- neau, was received from Seattle January 21:
 Fish companies are having diff culty in disposing of frozen hali- but and large surplus will be held over unless vessels delay operations. Prices during summer will be small unless companies dispose of sur plus. We fear repetition of con- ditions in 1928 when low prices resulted from surplus being held over. Vessel owners here have de- cided to stay in additional two weeks if boat owners up north will do same. Please get meeting of Juneau boat owners and find whether they are willing to stay in with us and wire results i'm mediately.
 Fishing Vessel Owners Assn
 Local Reply
 After a consultation among local boatmen the following wire was sent in reply:
 Juneau boat owners will stay in two weeks if the rest of the fleet will do the same. Keep us informed if there are any changes. Let us know what the rest of Alaska towns are going to do
 oOdb OWAlClos
 Cause for Gut
 Fishermen interviewed today as- sert that the glutted condition of the frozen halibut market is due to the big catches taken to Victoria by Japanese fishing boats. Over 100000 pounds of halibut were unloaded there last season at a price considerably under the pre- vailing rate paid to American and Canadian fishermen. it is said.
 A delegation of Juneau boat own- CTS will attend the Chamber of Commerce luncheon tomorrow for the purpose of explaining the con- dition of their industry A peti- ton addressed to Congress will ask for some measure of relief from what they consider unfair compe- tition
 About 450 boats and 2,300 men in Seattle, British Columbia and Alas ka are affected by the agreement to delay fishing for two weeks. Ju- neau claims a fleet of 28 halibut boats, Petersburg 50 and Ketchi- kan about 25.

service to the Bureau of the
Budget. Additional funds to In.

Money Expected
Officials said approval by the
Budget Bureau probably would
mean that the required funds
would be appropriated by Con-
gresS In the second deficiency
bill that soon will be placed on
the legislative calendar.
Assistant Customs Commts-
sioner Frank Dow estimated that
diamonds to the value of from
$40, 600, 900 to $4,000. 900 are
smuggled into United States an
nually. Because Of figures on
world production and legitimate
sales of diamonds, the volume Of
these gems entering into the
illicit trade can be estimated
with some accuracy.
Watches valued at about $l0.-
OOO, 900 were believed to have
been Smuggled in last year. As
| to other merchandise, jewelry
and narcotics, however, officials
said that no accurate figure is
available. It was the opinion
that goods entering the country
without paying duties are valued
at an enormous sum every year.
Keep Closer Check
By the use Of mora agents
abroad the Government MI have
an opportunity to keep Q close
check on the diamond sales and
on the activities Of the Known
rings Of jewelry. narsOtiG and
other merchandise SmugglerS.
Agents abroad tip off the Amer
ican customs officers wher is
suspected that large smuggling
operations are about to be at
tempted.
The high rates of the Smoot
Hawley tariff bill will offer o
greater inducement to Smugglers
to seek to bring merchandise into
the country illegally. a reduced
rate on diamonds, jewellers be.
lieve, would decrease SNUG Cling.
