 Library for Territory

Travelling libraries which would visit for a while in every community in Alaska was advo- cated before the Juneau P. T. A., recently by Charles W. Hawkes. worth, Acting Chief of the U. s. Bureau of Education activities in Alaska. The proposal is a modified form of the country plan which operate to advantage in virtually all the States. Books would be made available in re- mote places to persons now de- nied desirable reading matter, and the expense would be so small as not to be noticeable.
 The monetary outlay for books would not be excessive. Four thousand dollars or one thou sand dollars for each division would be sufficient to take care of this plan. Eight thousand books were recently received by the Bureau of Education in Alaska from San Francisco for distribution in Alaska. Allot- ments for distribution to the various divisions had not yet been made according to state ment by MT. Hawkesworth.

NUMBER 24
Fishery Regulations
 For 1881 Released

The fisheries regulations for 1881 have been released, text of first copies being in the hands of bureau of fisheries officials in Juneau. There were changes in season fishing dates for the several Southeastern Alaska dis tricts. The only change made in the Icy Strait district is that the traps will close on the 3rd Of August, the closing date for seinersl remaining the 9th as last year.
 Skinner and Eddy Corpora ton CT Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation loses one trap in the Port Althrop district and loses another at Point Adolphus. The Pacific American Fisheries Com pany loses it's trap in Idaho h. let. Opening fishing season in the western district is on the 18th of June and closing date August 10th with the fall season running from October 1 to OctO- Der Is. The opening date in the eastern district is June Is and closes on August IA. South of 58th parallel fishing will be per mitted from October 1 to the 18th inclusive.
 North Prince of Wales area opens July 10 and continues August 20 with a fall season for seiners only from October 1 to the 18th inclusive. South Prince of Wales district open July 15 and lasts until the 24th of Aug uSt for seines only; in the south eTn Ketchikan district, the sea- son opens the 5th of July and closes on the 18th of August, eX- cept for traps; fall fishing from October 1 to the 18th inclusive is also permitted.
 Tn the Stikine area the closed season was advanced from June 10 to June and the opening date for fishing advanced from June 20 to the 25th. The fall close date was advanced from September 30 to September g. cutting off one week from the fishing season.
 The trolling seasons are un- changed in Southeastern Alaska. The summer closure beginning August 25th to September 2Oth is effective throughout the Divi- sion except on the west coast of BaranOf Island where the area between Cape Ommaney and the north entrance to Puff1n Bay is not effected by the closing re- gulations. This cuts the fishing area permitted last year to about one third.

Sockeye Pact Put
 On Creased Skids

With Governor Roland H.
 Hartley and the two United States senators from Washing ton, Wesley L. Jones and c. c. Dill, opposing it, the sockeye salmon treaty between the Unit ed States and Canada will un- doubteddly be withdrawn from the United States Senate by it's Canadian sponsors.
 This was the attitude taken by sponsors of the treaty and men who have been seeking the ratification of some such pact for the last twenty years. "The treaty is dead, so there is no reason now why it should be discussed" said E. A. Sims of Port Townsend, former member of the State Fisheries Board and one of the most active fisheries experts who favored it's adop- tion.
 The Canadian government and the British Columbia authorities will not again open negotiations, the fisheries men, who have been working for the preservation of the sockeye industry, believe. All feel certain that British Colum- bia will now lift it's restrictions and permit the same types of gear and regulations to govern the taking of sockeyes on the Canadian side as now exist on this side, with the result that before 1883. the sockeye indus try will become a thing of the past, these men declare.

their failures TO themselves. On the

failures. To put these two propositions
another way, failures are often personal
eVentualities, successes very frequently
social eventualities.
Among your acquaintance you are
able TO count scores Of men who might
be great successes If they could only
summon the courage to cut themselves
away from their present ties. Lacking
that courage, they live along from year
to year. apparently satisfied TO stick TO
their routine employment. They are
slaves and they know it, They right
fully regard themselves as failures
Also among your acquaintance you
may count scores Of men getting along
well, who, resting on the protecting
arms of some established concern, are
said to be successes. They make a good
living so far as bread and butter are
concerned. or contribute TO a living
The worst part Of 1t is they seem to
harbor the suspicion that their success,
measured by conventional standards, is
really due to their own efforts-their
own inherent worth.
The psychology Of success and failure
is hidden away in the innermost re-
sources Of ones personality. Fear and
courage are the emotions concerned.
Failures fail, first OF all, to fear Alright
For fear properly directed is the es-
sence Of courage-the surest guarantee
Of success.

A guest room should contain every
comfort and convenience for a visitor
that lies in the power of the hostess to
provide. The size Of the room limits
such provisions in many houses, but
assuming that one room at least can be
a spare room" the problem is how to
furnish it adequately.
The old-fashioned term "spare room"
was once spoken of with pride by the
hornemaker. It indicated that her
house was so large that there was an
extra room that could be given over to
the use Of visitors, or remain idle when
there were no guests.
In the early settler dwellings and the
pioneer cabins of the West it was
enough to have shelter for a family.
There could be no thought given to
extra accommodations. When a living
room was apart from the comfortable
kitchen sitting room it was provided
With a large bed covered with as hand

WHEN there's company is it neces-
w sary to make any change In the
usual fare?
Some persons think It is ostentatious
to change the menu Just because there
is company. Others think it is neces-
sary to splurge a bit, with unusual or
expensive food, II there is company.
It certainly isn't necessary to splurge.
On the other hand, it certainly isn't
ostentatious or queer to wish to give
your guests something a little better
than daily fare.
1t is very commendable TO want TO
give your guests something specially
nice. The only thing to look out for is
that you don't pile up meal that Is
too rich, too elaborate. Don't get ex-
pensive, out-of-season things; don't
have a lot more courses or q lot more
elaborate service than usual. Don't at
tempt any thing you can't carry out.

more than usual by all means do so.

four tablespoonfuls OF -four, q heaping
teaspoonful of dried herbs, q table
spoonful of grated onion and one-fourth
cupful OF drippings from breakfast ba-

over it pint OF cider and q cupful of
spiced vinegar and let stand for at least
two days, turning 1t frequently. Some
people like to let 1t stand for four days.
Wipe dry and bake on the rack Of an
open pan in a hot oven for the 1irst 20
minutes, then in q medium heat for
the remainder Of the time. About 80
minutes to each pound should usually
be allowed for roast lamb and the meat
should be basted every 20 minutes.

Be Ready to Add to Meal

regular meals so that they become COM
pany meals. It just takes the addition
of one or two things, little extra care
in setting the table and IN serving TO
make a simple dinner, well cooked and
well planned, into one that Is quite
unusual.
You can have on hand, in the refrig-
orator and in the pantry, supplies that
viii always turn the ordinary meal into
the company meal Suppose, for in
stance, you are having for dinner beef
stew with mashed potatoes, boiled onions
and boiled carrots. For dessert q rice
pudding. A good, plain, substantial
dinner. Wen take Il for granted that
it Is well cooked. Certainly 1t Is not o
So-callsd company meal.
To begin with, the meal Is fun Of
nourishment. You don't want to add
many more heavy things. But you

on hand, bottled, and when you need it

half hour and then open and pour. Or,
II you wish, you can make it by strain
ing off the juice Of canned tomatoes
and seasoning 1t. You can, If you wish,
add a quarter or half as much orange
juice to the tomato. II you have mint
growing in the garden, add leaf; or,

minced. Instead of orange juice, you
may add onion juice to the tomato cock
tail, with some paprika and red pepper.
Instead of tomato juice cocktail, you
may serve a fruit cocktail. You can
have the makings Of this cocktail in
cans or you can make it from fresh
fruit I think the best cocktail 10 O
combination Of both fresh and canned
fruits. The fruit must, in any event,
be carefully and daintily prepared and
served IN long-stemnled glass cups. It
should be very lightly, II at all, sweet
ened.
Another good first course that Ia not
too heavy is a tomato canape-a thick
slice of tomato laid on a thin slice of
hot buttered toast, with q spoonful Of
Russian dressing topping It.
Now you might dress up the rice pud-
ding by adding layer Of jam or Jelly
to it and then a meringue, which you
brown in the oven. Then chill the
pudding If you have some stuffed
olives on hand, serve those with the
main course. II you have some bread
sticks, crisp those in the oven and add
those. And If you have a box OF minis,
serve those after the dessert.
