TROUT BOUNTY HELPS INDIANS

"Commenting on the federal bounty of ridding the Bristol Bay salmon spawning areas of the pre- datory Dolly Warden trout with a bounty of Sc each on trout tails Hon. Geo. A. Parks governor of Alaska, makes the following interesting con- ment:
 'The Bureau of Fisheries arranged for the od- CT natives of the Bristol Bay district to take the trout. They were paid in cash if they desired, or in staple merchandise by local storekeepers In the past, not a winter has gone by when we have not had calls for relief of destituton among these people. This year, despite the fact that the fur catch in the district has been almost failure the few thousands of dollars coming in to them from the taking of trout, together with this additional supply of food, has enabled them to get through the winter without either the territory or the fed eral government being called on to render them material financial relief. f.'-Pacific Fisherman

reasons are these, the mills are not modern and the cost of transportation to main transoceanic lines is prohibitive
 The Immediate Market
 The market is ready for exportation of logs. The hemlock is drug the market but has good price for export in large quantities. Spruce is in limited demand here but unlimited demand outside
 Hundreds of loggers with a payroll of two million dollars could be at work next fall and win ter, if the Forestry Department would issue per mits for export for the period of year.
 We Are Criticised
 We are criticised for this suggestion and told that the policy of the Forestry Bureau has re- suited in what development Alaska has, and has forced pulp mills to come here.
 We that this policy has net been re- sponsible for a single mill in Alaska and even those mills that have remained are confessedly in a bad financial position
 Suppose the Salmon
 Raw salmon is exported without restriction. Why not logs?
 Even the canneries which produce the fin ished product IN Alaska do not support the argu- ment of the Forestry Department because about the only good Alaskans get from these canneries IS that the cannery supplies the market for the raw salmon Everything else is done by laborers from Seattle"
 Hardly single resident of Alaska is employed in a herring plant. Has the Enpired "yelled' about that?
 Virtually no resident is employed in the west ward" canneries Wherein does Alaska benefit? Has the Empire protested that condition? What is the difference in this from the eAportation o1 logs?

CAR LIFE
BY J. LEO SUGRUE
Times Automobile Editor

With engine and chassis lubri-
cation approaching high state
of perfection and simplicity, the
owner of the modern car is look
ing about for new economics by
better fabrication.
Now hat he does not have to
bother with grease cups and do
gymnastics under the engine every
500 or 1000 miles, his atten
tion turns to the fabrication of
certain units of the car which
never before have been favored
with this treatment. Superlubri-
cation of engine and chassis is,
in short, stimulating interest in
auxiliary fabrication.
Saving Parts
Motorists today are saving
parts of the car and it's acces-
sories which in the past dried up,
rusted and wore out prematurely.
They are not taking any extra
time in which to do this work and
achieve this sort of trouble pre-
vention. In most instances the
time used is fraction of that
formerly consumed in greaSing
the major units or in changing
the engine oil.
For the first time since the
automobile dawned upon the
transportation horizon, hoods are
being fabricated regularly. Even
windshields and gasoline tanks.
Running boards are coming in
for bit of attention, too.
The float mechanism of the car
buretor is another part of the car
that is improved and prolonged
by the addition of an occasional
drop of very light oil.

IT'S STILL 4 PROBLEM

The press of more spectacular events
has caused most Americans to forget
completely that the world still has
highly unsolved "Chinese problem" on its
hands. A few years ago this problem
got plenty Of attention, and this nation
did what it could to help solve it: but
the work isn't done vet, and China is still
puzzle, mysterious ferment which
can produce almost anything
One is reminded of this by an address
recently made at Chicago University by
IuSuke Tsurumi. former member Of the
japanese Parliament.
Mr. Tsurumi declares that rev AS
latte federation Of great power and sig
niticance is apt to develop unless Great
Britain. America and Japan can find
some way Of establishing unity in China
and OF guaranteeing Japan free access to
raw materials.
If definite step is made toward
these obiectives, radicalism in the far
east will be tempered and stability will
be given to peace" he says. Japan will
be allowed to follow the course of nor
NAL development toward liberal demo-
cracy.
But II these oDJectNeS are not accom-
plished, so that the social upheaval in
China continues to result in chaos, and
the pressure of population in Japan be-
comes too acute, there will be important
consequences. Social democracy will
gain force in Japan and gradually lead
her away from Anglo-SaXon countries
in the direction of new confederation
Of Asiatic peoples. The new social dem
Ocracy will make it easier for Japan to
settle her differences with China. and ii
will also be easier TO make a new under
standing with other rising peoples in the
South Seas and India.
All of this is worth thinking about.
The "Chinese problem" is Just as much
trouble now as it was three years ago
when American warships hurried to the
treaty ports Sooner or later, statesman

F0R A REAL VACATION

Now that the summer automobile tour
ing season is getting under way, the Am
erican motorist might as we'll sit down
and ask himself Just what 1t is that he
is going after when he takes his Vaca
ton.
The answer, in most cases, of course
would Observation-Disclosures amusement,
a change of scene Yet many of lis, by
trying to cover too much territory, by ad-
herring too closely to schedule, by retus-
ing to leave our ordinary habits of life
behind us, fail to get any of these things.
We come back from our vacation more
tired than when We started out. Ii is
commonplace expression that you need
another vacation TO get rested up from
your first one
Probably if is the motorist who suffers
in this way more than anyone else. The
reason. generally is that he tries to go
too far and do too much. He makes his
destination his goal and not the mere
fact Of wandering.
Why put yourself ON schedule when
YOU take a vacation drive anyway? Why
make up your mind that you are going
to get to this. that Or the other place re-
gardess of any obstacles? You might as
we'll be travelling about on business. 1t
puts you under a strain. You do not get
the rest you need.
A simpler, much more enjoyable plan.
is to start out without any very defin-
te notion where you are going and with
no set schedule whatever. In this way
the real Joy Of motoring can be tasted.
You pilot your car along at comfort
able pace-and how much less tired one
gets driving at 80 miles an hour than
driving at 50.-and when you find a
pleasant place you stop and enjoy 1t.
You loaf, in other words, stopping when
and where YOU please, changing your
course when YOU strike an interesting
road; and when YOU get through you
have been rested in body and mind and
are ready for ;,nother years work
The man who tries that kind of vaca-
ton once will never go back to the other
kind. 1t pays big dividends. To be free
from the tyranny Of watches, time tables
and schedules for two weeks is a great
blessing
