 The Herring Fishermen
 Fishermen have observed the operations of the herring opera tors who come into our midst for a few short months, milk the Territory of it's riches and return to the states to build up communities at the expense of the Territory. These men dur ing the past summer caught thousands of young king salmon which went into the reduction plants and came out as oil and fertilizer. The larger or sale able salmon went to the buyers, on occasion. These facts are in- Controvertable. For the bureau 01 frauds (fsheries) to attempt to do so would only betray their ignorance.

Expert Says 1000 Cars an
Hour Pass Easily on
TWo-Lane Highway.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-How
many automobiles can travel on a
highway without congestion?
DR.. A. N. johnson, dean of en-
gineering of the University of Mary
land and member Of the highway
traffic committee of the national
research councils highway research
board, has answered this question.
In a report made this morning be-
fore the annual meeting of the
board, he said:
1.-THE two-lane road practically is
free from congestion up to 1000 We
hicles per hour The three Lane
road practically is free up to 1000
vehicles and is congested not to ex-
coed one-fifth Of the time up to
/ 300.
with further increases in the
number of vehicles per hour, con-
gestion increases at a more rapid
rate on a two-lane than on a three
lane road When four fifths or more
of the traffic is in one direction, the
two-lane road is practically free
from congestion up to 1900 vehicles
and the taree-lane road up to
2 300"
Observations also were made on
four lane road, but there was not
enough traffic to cause congestion
the greatest rate of passing being
1928 vehicles per hour. In making
the observations congestion was
said to occur, DR. Johnson ex-
planned, when a reduction of speed
was noticed and the drivers began
to crowd each other.

DROUGHT BELIEF
BATTLE LOOMS
Cut in Loan to Farmers
Will Stir Strife.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The war
over drought relief appropriations
will be fought all over again after
the congressional recess, if the house
appropriations committee reduces
the authorized $45, 100000 for loans
to farmers.
Democrats served notice today
they would vigorously oppose any
attempt to reduce this figure in the
appropriation bill, to be drafted
soon, when they heard reports that
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde might
urge a smaller appropriation at this
time.
The bill passed recently merely
was an authorization for the $45,-
100000, and a separate measure
must be passed carrying the money.
The committee will begin next week
to draft a bill when it hears from
Hyde, who originally recommended
a $25,000,000 appropriation.
The senate raised the amount to
$60.000,000 and the house voted $780,
100000, a compromise being reached
at SIS, 100000.
