These facts have been known to fishermen since time im- memorial, so their first concern after making or buying net is to discolor it. Nets arc frequently dyed green, because that color more nearly than any other stimulates the hue of the sea.

 "Barbour's twine is standard material for nets. It is carried by all dealers in fishermen's supplies. It is white. If. MT. Barbour can dye it green without impairing its quality or increasing it's cost to any appreciable degree, he will confer a favor on fishermen. He will af- ford them more time during the closed season to discuss the big catches of the open period.

In an effort to obtain contract for transportation of mail between Southeast Alaska and Seattle, Jo- seph L. Carman, Jr., President of the Alaska Washington Airways, IS now in Washington, D. C., accord ing to edvices received here by A B. Hayes, Alaska representative oi the airways.
 We are hopeful of inauguratine an air mail service in the immedi- ate future,' said MT. Hayes. Ten tative plans contemplate tri-weekly deliveries at northern and southern destinations. The benefits of such quick, regular service to business interests in both the Territory and the States can scarcely be exag- gerated. Our proposal has led to some survey of the situation by post office, inspectors. I think they are unanimous as to the need and the advantages of the suggested service"

irving the second week in October. Leaving there early this Spring, they crossed the divide, dropped down the Bell River into Porcupine River to Fort Yukon, up the Yukon River to Whitehorse, by rail to Skagway and thence to Juneau by canoe.
 Let's of Winter Travel Their winter was not spent in idleness. The first thing done was to throw up a stout log cabin. AL ready the season was advancing with cold nights and days that the thermometer showed was around freezing.
 It was necessary to build fires each day to keep the moss used in chinking from freezing. Snow that lasted all winter had fallen.
 After completing the camp, the party sought for game for their winters provisions. In the entire Snake River district they could find neither moose nor caribou. With a sled and team of five dogs, part of their outfit when they left home, land two small toboggans which they "necked" they crossed to the head of Wind River where game was found in abundance. Moose and caribou were killed in suffi- cient quantity to feed both men and dogs.
 Then came weeks of trapping and travel. More than 1000 miles were covered during the winter. The Wind, Snake and Bonnet River val leys yielded splendid crop of furs. They took many muskrats, mink, martin, foxes, lynx and beaver. In the district, trappers and traders told them that muskrats were in greater numbers than had ever been seen before. One trapper last season had catch of 1,a00 rats.
 Build Skin Boat
 The breakup caught the party at the head of Windy River many miles away from their base camp, With toboggan frames for timbers, and using spruce and tamarack for ribs, they constructed canoe. out of moose hides, using four skins. In this they loaded the last of the supplies at their Wind river camp and dropped down that stream to the cabin.
 In a few days they descended the Snake and Peel rivers to Aklavik on the Mckenzie. Turning up the Rat River, they fought treacherous, boiling stream for 80 miles, spend ing most of the time in the water pulling their canoe upriver by man. power, It took IT days to cover the distance and hit the portage into Bell River.
 Using Stock Outboard
 
 | At Circle the party added a stock model outboard motor to it's equip ment. Now it travels de luxe and will do so to its tropic goal. It left Skagway at 10 am. Tuesday, ex- pectihg to come through here.
 But they reckoned without the 1 tide and fog. Tuesday evening they spent on the south end of Shelter Island, fogbound. Early yesterday morning they got under way for Juneau, but landed in a dairy pas ture at Mendenhall. Where they had expected plenty of water, con tented COWS were browsing. There are no tides in Saskatchewan, and the reality of their action hadn't been forced home on them until yesterday.
 They came to town late yesterday afternoon. After spending the night here, they left for Prince

Preliminary steps in dealing with two
controversies raised by railroad consol-

taken today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
A hearing date was fixed for March
10 for the consideration of the COMPETE
tive claims of the Nickel Plate System
and the Pittsburgh g. West Virginia
for authority to control the Wheeling
& Lake Erie Line
Confidently, the date of April 9 was
set for considering the Pittsburgh g.
West Virginia'S claim for power to pur-
chase the Western Maryland
The Wheeling g. Lake Erie stock
ownership has been divided between the
Pittsburgh g. West Virginia and Nickel
Plate interests, but the Nickel Plate
shares, by agreement with the commits
sion and the Department of Justice,
have been deposited with a trustee to
await disposition of railroads in the
consolidation situation.
The Western Maryland is now domi-
mated by the Baltimore 81 Ohio, but
the commission recently ruled that the
Baltimore & Ohio should divest itself of
its interest in the Western MARYLAND
on the ground that the association of
the two lines was a violation of anti
trust laws.

OF ROW AT HEARING
Argument Arises Over Sign.
ing of Act of Congress
Before City Heads.

An argument over the circumstances
under which President Coolidge signed
an act of Congress in 1925 enlivened a
hearing before the District Commission
ers today on proposed new code gov
erning the installation and operation of
refrigerating devices.
The law in question was signed on
March 4, 1925, and provides that dur
ing the operation of any machine driven
by electricity, steam or gas a licensed
engineer shall be present to supervise.
There is no qualification in the terms
Of the law so that by strict interpre-
tation it might be taken to refer to
vacuum cleaners, washing machines or
any other domestic electrical device.
John H. Lorsch, representing the
Engineers Union, Local No. 80, called
the attention of the Commissioners to
this act and pointed out that the pro-
posed code would allow certain auto
matte refrigerating machines to op-
Lusk, representing the Operative Build
ers' Association, then said that he knew
the circumstances under which Presi-
dent Coolidge had signed the act.
He said that the President called
for the then corporation counsel,
Francis H. Stephens, and asked
him If the act meant what it said, and
that Mr.. Stephens had replied that it
was obviously not the intent of the act
to apply to small domestic machines
and that the President had thereupon
signed the bill
Mr.. Lorsch denied that this was So

under which the President had signed
