Fish Buyer Injured
 As Craft Burns

George Collins of Wrangell, returning to his home port from Moves Island last week, was hail ed from one of the P. A. F. traps near Point Baker by Art Young, fish buyer and his son. Their boat, the Alice of Ketchikan caught fire and sank in mid chan mel of shore in Sumner Straits. MT. Young was badly burned about the face and hands, hiS lips were badly blistered and the hair on his head badly burned. The sons hair was singed when the gas tank exploded. When the boat sank, the men were left in mid-channel with only an old dried-up, leaking skiff. No bail CT in the boat, Young took off his boot and used it to keep the skiff afloat. They managed to reach the trap in an exhausted

Biz Show Will Be
 Staged Tonight

Hello Hawaii" the big show being staged by the American Legion under direction of MT. and Mrs. Ray Southard, has received it's final polish, and fin- al instructions to each and every part. After several weeks of much study and application, MT. Southard feels that the public is now ready to receive the ef- forts of the local cast tonight.
 Much singing dancing and dialogue will be seen and heard and enjoyed. Not often does such a show come to Petersburg nor for more worthy causes. It is to be hoped that every citizen will attend this show-the price is within the reach of all and the entertainment of class that Is i always appreciated
 The Legion will not be A. W. Q L. on tickets-lots of 'em for . dollar each. Step boys and get 1 vour front seat tickets early

Steal Boat, Oars,
 Leads and Lines

He was an old man, past his allotted three score and ten but he was independent, .eking out an existence by trolling. He came to town last week and tied up to the Trading Union float. Hitched to his little gasboat was his trolling boat. Securely tied was the boat when he went and turned in for the night but when he got up in the morning he dis covered that someone else had coveted that boat and during the quiet of night had made off with his little boat, lines, leads, and gear.
 Left on the beach without a trolling boat; the only tool he had with which to earn a few dollars, stolen from him; with out funds to buy another boat, this old man is wandering the streets of Petersburg wondering how he is going to get even the few dollars needed to buy sugar, and cream and flour and other necessities of life.
 And that foul thing that calls itself man-and fisherman-a disgrace even to the foul bird of Patagonia, travels on blithely indifferent to the cares he has added to the worries of an old man.
 If wishes ever came true, we wish this thief gets wrecked and never has another opportunity to steal another boat.

Opposed to Ha|ibut
 Policy
From Prince Rupert News.

... From Prince Rupert News.
 A communication received b, Mayor c. H. Amre from Hon. Ed. gar N. Rhodes, federal minister of fisheries, in connection witt the proposal that the govern ment might bonus Canadia~ halibut to the extent of twc cents per pound, declares that this would have no useful effect on shipments, as under the United States tariff, a bonus Of this kind would be automatic ically absorbed by being added to the regular duty rate.
 In connection with the with holding of clearances to hali- but vessels for ten days after en- tering, the minister states that this could not legally be done. Such an expedient could only matter for arrangements be- tween interests concerned.

Invite Congressmen
 Visit Petersburg

Mayor E. N. Dinner on behalf of the Town of Petersburg. last week invited the congressional part: now touring in the north t, stop off in this port and :c r.iake a brief visit. The mes~1 :~t and invitation were sent through MT. Ernest Walker Sawyer As sistant to the Secretary of the .nte,ior, who is travelling with the rarty. Representative Mur- phy of Ohio replied expressing appreciation of the invitation but doubted that the party coult make the necessary arrange ment owing to press of business in Washington and the uncer- tainty of connections. However if it is possible to do so, the stop over will be made.
 In view of the fact that Repre- sentative Murphy is a member of the House Committee on Ap- propriations, it is felt that il will accrue much to the advan. tage to Petersburg to have Mi Murphy and other members o1 Congress look into the need O dredging Petersburg Harbor.

New Coliseum Will
 Show Sat. Night

The new Coliseum Theatre, formerly the Mac Gregor The eatre will open its doors to the public for patronage Saturday night with the showing of 'The Lost zephyrs." This is said to be a very good show by those who have seen it.

This spring he commenced renovations and changes in the building to make 1t one of th7 best show houses in the North. B. w. Burke of Wrangell has had direction of the interior decorat- ing and the job now about com- .plete is truly a work of art. Oth- CT changes in the auditorium had to do with securing better acoustics so that patrons may enjoy an evenings entertain ment with effort. MT. Leuis Lemieux, manager of the Coli scum is mighty well pleased with the building and equipment and expresses it his opinion that ali theatre fans will like the new house. 1

Fisherman States
 Prices of Salmon

A group of fshermen-halibut were on the docks talking of salmon prices. They declared it impossible that canners in the state of Washington would pay ' cents per pound for pinks an.1 only pay to 5 cents per salm- in in Alaska.
 We may be all wrong in our statement-but if we are then Capt. Berry, fisherman and lead : CT in the Fishermen's Cooperat- . i've Association is all wrong for it will be noted that we quote h!s statements, last week, as was published in the Seattle Times.
 We quote Capt. Berry again: '"The fishermen wanted 10 cents a pound for humpbacks, but when the canneries showed they were unable to pay that price, they accepted the old price of ! cents a pound. The canneries are paying 25 cents for siIvers and 60 cents for sock eyes"
 A man whose integrity is not to be questioned. last week ad- yised this office that he had per- sonally read a contract held by a Puget Sound fisherman, oper- ating in Icy Straits and this contract called for 75 cents per sockeye salmon.

Normanm E. Mack of Buffalo,
 member of the Democratic Ma
 tional committe recently declar-
 ed: Never in my recollection
 has the outlook for Democratic
 success been brighter than now. l am confident the Democrats will elect the next President of the United States.
 And now Judge Kenneth Mac
 Kintosh declares before the Young Mems Republican Club CT Seattle, that it was his belief that Governor Roosevelt may be eliminated because he has failed to endorse the Hoover moritori- um plan. States Macintosh: Governor Roosevelt now ap- pears to be the outstanding pos sibility. But he is the only De- mocrat candidate who has not indorsed the moritorium plan. It may prove that by this failure he has put himself out of the picture. Newton D. Baker, Se- cretary of War under President Wilson now looms up as Demo- cratic presidential timber, ac,- cording to Judge MacKintosh.
 From now until elections are held and on until the national party conventions are held, a lot of political smoke is to be ex- pected and seen.

lnuestigator For
 B. r. Visits Here

George Rounsell, IT,, investi
 gator of the herring fisherie;
 for the U. s. Bureau of Fisher
 ies in Alaska, arrived in Peters
 burg during the week and spent
 6 couple of days here in the in
 terest of his investigations. H.. has been covering the various
 sections of the Division this year, gathering specimens of the
 herring to secure more data on
 the kinds, ages and conditions
 of this species.
 He states only five reduc-
 tion plants are in operation in Chatham Straits this year and that these outfits have only 25 seine boats working. In former years as many as fifteen reduc.
 tion with up to 80 boats gather tion plants have been in opera ing in herring for fertilizer and oil. The condition of the mark cts for herring meal and oils is in just as sad condition as ev cry other industry is facing by the present economic depression It is not generally believed that the Alaska reduction plants can survive this year.
 MT. Rounsefell's investigations during the past three years have vindicated the charges of this publication that depletion of this would soon become an accomplished fact unless reme- condition.
 The boat was valued at $8,500i and including gasoline, ice, casnl and all equipment, the loss was estimated at $17,000. cial regulations were promul- gated. The herring of Alaska arei not similar to the Norwey spe- ,ies. The Alaska herring are lo- gal fish therefore easily hshed 1 put. Herring fishermen the past few weeks have reported herring for bait as being very scarce. At 3 time of the year when there should be an abundant supply of this fish.
 MT. Rounsefell left for Juneau where he will continue work on his field notes. Last year he had published in U. s. Bureau of 1 document No. 1080 his report for 1880. This report has tot been published in the trade papers so far and may be secu.- ed upon application to the de- r {, ,rtment.

Trouer's Tax In
 Court Agair,

The validity of the non-resi- cent trollers' tax act of 1929 was again upheld and attacked be- fore Judge Justin w. Harding in the United States District Court here this week in the case of Wood Freeman, a Seattle troller, against WalStein G Smith, Treasurer of Alaska, At. torney General John Rustgard appearing for the Territory, ar rued that the Legislature had undoubted .ight to impose such ,aX if it were not "prohil'.c.ve and asserted that with average earnings of the trollers about S3,OO0 per year, a $250 levy could not be said to be prchibitive.
 H L. Faulkner, representing Freeman asserted that the Le- gislature no longer has any power to enact tax measures which discriminate between re sident and non-residents and has not had since the passage of the White Fisheries Act of 1924 Tn support of this position, he cited the opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals when the Free man case was before it during the past winter.
 No Answer Possible
 Mir. Fla .lkner contendcI tha, the Giro lit Courts decis.. ;. in this action is in effect a holding that the statute under attack is void and, in the argument before the District Court, it was con- tended that no answer could be filed which would constitute a defense to the plaintiffs com plaint.
 He referred to the language of the Appellate Courts decision as follows: Does the Territorial Act Of 1929 deny to citizens of the United SStates rights guar anteed to them by the laws os the United States rights guar strained to hold that it does. And he then pointed to the fol- lowing paragraph of the same decision:, "We are of the opin- ion therefore, that there is a plain and irreconcilable conflict between the act of Congress and the act of the Territorial Legislature, and in such cases the latter must yield.

Snitch Snuff Boxes
 From J. 5. Senate

Snuff boxes, an accessory oi the senate for generations, were missing recently But if souven- ir hunters pilfered them in the belief they were antiques, cap- ital attaches said they were fooled, for the boxes in niches on walls of the Senate chamber had been placed there only five CT six years ago.
 The snuff boxes are a relic of the days when it was the GUS tom for senators to use this sort of brain food.

 ALASKA HOLDING THE SACK

For years there has been agitation regarding splitting up the annual money derived from the sale of seal pelts from the Pribilof Islands where by three nations enjoy the proceeds and Alaska. where the dear little animals are born bred, and killed, holds the sack.
 Every civic body in the Territory should line Up on this matter in which the Territory is nually deprived of rightful thousands of dollars and present the case to official Washington. AS will we continue to lose thousands of dollars an- rually
 With present strong representation at Washington, Delegate to Congress Wickershan Alaska's should be presented at court very effectively. We believe this subject is one that will have the heavy and whole-hearted endorse r1ent of Delegate Wickersham.
 These thousands of dollars could be put to mighy fine in thousand ways.-Seward Gateway
 There is But"
 A few years ago. Governor Parks in his re- port on the seal herds of Alaska, made just such a statement If memory serves us correctly Later it was shown that the share to Russia and e Japan was negligible. The money from the seal herds goes into cost of operation of the industry and to the Fouke Fur Company of St.Louls which company dyes and finishes up the pelts for the Bureau of Fisheries
 If we are to believe the reports of the Bureau ot Fisheries, and we told we should there is profit accruing from the industry
