industry the sportsmen and the bears must not be molested, and if they kill few Alaska residents what's the difference
 they are only poor SiWashes or moneyless damphools who would make homes in the wild erness.
 If you will make a record of he depredations of this pet of MT. Whites you will find at least two deaths a year in the past ten years from these harmless animals" and many more badly mauled. Certainly Alaskans tread the hills of AL aska more times i'll a year than MT. White will in the next hun cred years, and they know from litter experience that this bear needs not the protection of the government. To wander along the edge of the woods when the salmon are running and the lear are sluggish with feed is no trick, and if MT. Whites 35 bears are actual fact it was at such streams he saw them. But lid he go tramping through the woods on Legitimate enterprise and startle this animal? Oh c;! That's something else. We may have hvsteria in AL aska, but 1t is unanimous, and whether it is roal or oil Or fish or bear reserve:::.~is, we want no more of them 1f MT. Write and other spoftsmen wish to propagate these animals we suggest he take them to Maine or the Adirondoks or to Yellow stone and turn them loose there. We brought the bison tc Alaska because we wanted them in Alaska. Let the sportsmen take the grizzlies to the states out don't foist on us anothe, law which we will have no in tention of keeping Public opinion makes laws and breaks them but in the breaking o1 them the citizens become crim- inals. Enough criminals we have now without deliberately legislating us wholesale into that class.

Under the present Bureau 0 Fisheries the late May an' June runs of salmon are n more. Under tte Forest Depart ment the sawmills have becomf bankrupt and the loggin9 camps have closed while mil lions of feet of over-ripe timbe gre wasting away. Under the Biological Survey the fur game has become virtually extinct and they have secured a law which premits searching of homes, boats etc, without search warrant contrary to the guaranties Of the Constitution. 4sls.ska's coal was tied up, like wise it's oil, so that development stopped forthwith.
 Now comes MT. White with his plea for more reserves for the protection of an animal which has no value to anyone save the man with more money than brains who wishes the territory to set aside reserves for the pro 7 agation of bears in order thlt he may engage in the noble sport of killing them.

MAY PERMIT FISHING YU-
 KON RIVER NEXT YEAR

Various people living along
 Yukon river have written the
 Delegate asking that he exert
 his influence with the Bureau
 If Fisheries to the end that fish ing operations might be con-
 tucted at the mouth of the ',iver. After a very satisfactory conference with Commissioner
 Henry O'Malley last week the
 Delegate received letter from The Commissioner reading as follows:
 Confirming our conference of
 today regardino the opening of
 he Yukon to a limited amount
 If fishing: For long while l
 rave been favorable to an open
 Ing of the legal area of 50 yards off the mouth of the river where gill net fishing can be conducted, but I feared that if 1t were thrown open and the salmon market became stabiliz- cd, operations might become so extensive as to be harmful to the river.
 After our discussion, have arrived at the definite conclu- ion that fishing operations can be permitted on the basis of all lowing 50,000 to 60,OOO King almon to be taken. This in ny judgment, will not encour- ge any large canneries to go 1to that field but will permit he local people to sell and ship their product to the states. I shall, therefore, recommend Q the Secretary of Commerce in the regulations that will be issued in December, 1881, that ,2e river be opened to King salmon fishing limiting opera ltions to King salmon gill nets, end limiting the season to the t;me when the bulk of King salmon are running. There vii
 undoubtedly be some chuln salmon caught but only limit d number. in my judgment and will not interfere with the
 people living along the river
 'Tho depend on catching salm-
 on to dry for their own food and
 that of their dogs. I hope that
 this action will bring about a Isr1all industry at the mouth of the Yukon, conducted by local people. You may give this such publicity as you desire"

Thompson OF New York, third.
In an early Jam the nail on the

ripped off and the Frenchman was
limping badly at the finish. The
injury was painful but not serious
and Keller will 60 through with

Food Prices Drop
,17l1 Per Cent Decrease Since NoYem-
Der Is, 1880, Reported

According to the Federal Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, retail
food prices in 81 cities declined
two percent in November as
compared with October The
total decrease in the retail price
of food since November IS,
1880, is estimated. at l712 per
cent.
The issue of the Weekly for
November IA, 1880, contained
advertisements giving prices in
the Chapel Hill market as fol
lows:
Creamery butter 42c; sliced
bacon, carton, 39c; grape juice,
pint. 25c; ID. can fresh coffee,
43c; 2 cans Carolina tomatoes,
25c; 5 cans peaches 81; fancy
Florida oranges, doz., 35c; large
grape fruit, 2 for 25c; "a lbs
-four and 5 lbs. meal, $1.25.
Last week local prices for
popular foods were quoted as
follows: creamery butter 32c
sliced bacon, carton, 28c; grape
juice, pint, zoe; sugar cured pea
nut hams zoe; fresh pork hams
tic; 5 cans peas 81; dressed tur-
key, 35c. The price of turkey
was advertised at the same fig
ure last year.
The Bureau of Labor Stats
tics remarks that present food
prices are still 1867 per cent of
those for 1918. This means
that, although the prices of some
things have fallen below the pre-
war level, food prices remain
1877 above those Of 1913 in the
81 cities included in the survey.
