NO PLACE LIKE HOME
 SAYS (. T. GARDNER

Juneau's troubles resulting from what is considered here as un- favorable weather are as nothing to the difficulties experienced ln the States, according to c. T. Gard ner. who returned this week from the Outside
 While the local Taku wind blew a e0-mile gale and broke into print in Seattle papers, a 75-mile gale on Puget Sound received practi- cally no notice, he declared. In Bellingham harbor, where many small boats were to safety from a storm, few million feet of logs broke loose, caused a great deal of trouble for days and sank sev- eral boats.
 Nor is the water shortage in Juneau in a class by itself, said MT. Gardner. Five miles of the main line in Everett, Washington, was frozen for some time this win ter. With a regular consumption of 5000,0OO gallons daily, the sup ply there was, at one time, down i to 100000, and it was finally necessary to pump water from a nearby river into the reservoirs.
 Damaging winds in Oakland Cal, and heavy snows in Glen dale, Cal, were also cited by MT Gardner as unfavorable conditions experienced in the States.

tremely difficult was the declara- ton made by Attorney c General John Rustgard, who reminded the Chamber that Washington was in- clined to discourage halibut fish ing because of the belief that the halibut banks are being fished out
 After further discussion the mat ter was turned over to the Local Industries Committee, which will work with interested parties in the matter and report to the Executive Board next Tuesday
 c. T. Gardner, who recently re- turned from Seattle, told the Cham Der that the canneries who are now using fiber or paper boxes, are threatening the prosperity of Alas ka lumber mills.
 With several canneries usin 2 these new boxes exclusively and Seattle manufacturers encouraging the change the box factory at Wrangen. he said, is soliciting out side business, and this season will manufacture a number of cheese boxes. He expressed the opinion, however, that the paper boxes would not be used permanently because of their frail construction.
 Seattle Lumbering Quiet
 The lumber industry in Seattle, he declared, is about 90 per cent quiet at the present, due to se- were weather and lack of water lin the streams and rivers.
 | Approximately $3,500 has been pledged or paid in by 197 members for 1880. II. c. Walmsley reported At least fifty more members are expected to join shortly, he added
 No definite action was taken bJ the Executive Board on the water shortage here. Data will be gath cred by the Chamber in co-opera' tion with R. F. Lewis, President O the Juneau Water Company whC will be in Juneau in the spring

RELIEF ASKED
 FOR FISH MEN
 BY GOLDSTEIN
Suggests Chamber Work for Tariff to Keep Out
 Japanese Halibut

Declaring that the voluntary" two-week postponement of the hali- but season on the North Pacific is due to the consequent low prices which would result if the season were actually opened on February IS. I. Goldstein, local merchant, told the Chamber of Commerce to- day that it is imperative some thing be done to combat the im- portation of Japanese halibut into Seattle. He addressed the Cham Der as a representative of local fishermen.
 Two years ago, MT. Goldstein cited. the frozen halibut market was swamped. Fishermen were warned to postpone activities for two weeks, failed to heed the warn ing. and consequently eive d, throughout the season, the lowest prices in the history of the in- dustry in Alaska.
 With the over supply threatening the market this year, the only hope the fishermen nope to receive a good price for their catches is to remain in port for two weeks after the season opens, he declared.
 Prices Serious
 At the present time, MT. Gold stein continued, there is sentiment in Washington favoring the clos ing of the season November l, in- stead of November 15. With eight and one-half months the longest season possible this year is a ne cessary the fishermen receive at least ten cents a pound for then fish which will enable them tc make little better than wages.
 T understand" he said, "tha1 four million pounds of halibut were imported by Seattle from Japan a six cents per pound. That is fou cents a pound under the pric which local fishermen must recelv in order to remain in their busi ness.
 -Four or five hundred people ar directly affected by the industr here. The Fishermen's Association in Seattle is taking the matter u with Congress. My suggestion that we do the same through ou Delegate to Congress, and secur if possible, a protective tariff. Pc tersnurg.
