 Fisheries Returns Less
 "The returns from the fisheries, ' commented the Governor, were Jess both in quantity and value than in 1881, but this decline may be attributed to market conditions rather than to lack of an available supply. In keeping with the estab- lished policy of the Bureau of Fisheries, precautions were taken to assure an adequate escapament of salmon to the spawning grounds. There were evidences of i'm pairment of the runs in a number of localities, notably in the Cook .sInlet and Prince William Sound areas, necessitating further limita- tions on commercial fishing so that succeeding cyclical returns will be assured through adequate seeding. In some districts the restrictions were relaxed because of the abund- ance of fish.
 Future Is Assured
 "The efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries are directed toward a perpetuation of the fisheries so That there will be stabilized an- nual production in every district Tn fbo coI,,,o,, ficI,ariac +hic ;c achieved by so regulating the catch as to permit an escapement of fish to the spawning grounds in suffi. cient numbers to assure an ade- quate supply of young salmon.
 Careful observations are made during the season and appropriate regulators are promulgated from time to ime.. Prior to the inaug- uration o this policy the salmon fisheries Mre depleted and there was grave Hanger of complete ex- termination in certain areas Now the production is fairly well stabil- ized and the future of the industry is assured"
 Values Are Cited
 Gov. Parks gave the values of the fisheries production for 1881 as. $35 5,594, ,752, exclusive of ac- quatic furs, decrease of $4,084,- 297 from 1880. The value of the catch to the fishermen was esti- mated at $10,043,O00, which was

 Favorable predictions for next year are further justified by the substantial expansion of opera tions in, and productions from gold lode properties throughout the Territory"
 Reviews Public Resources
 The report reviewed at some length Government administration of public lands and resources thereon. It cited the vast timber resources in National Forests and prospects for their utilization
 It noted the attempts to set aside Admiralty and other South east Alaska islands for a bear pasture, and declared this was not needed for conservation of the species. "The reservation of the islands is not desirable; in fact, it would seriously retard the devel- opment of the Territory" asserted Gov. Parks, adding: Ample pro- vision has been made for the pro- lection of wild life by closing large areas elsewhere.
 Moreover, it is practicable to utilize the natural resources and at the same time afford ample pro- tection to the wild life on the islands"
 He points to Mckinley National Park as one of these, and urges its continued development for re- creational purposes.
 Cites Government Agencies He covered adequately the op- erations of the Alaska Railroad, Signal Corps wireless and telegraph system, Navy radio communica- tions service, Coast and Geodetic Survey work, Lighthouse Service, Coast Guard Service, and other .instrumentalities for public service in the Territory.
 Aviation was said to have pass ed the experimental stage" and ito have taken it's place among the recognized transportation facilities of the country. He urged Army airplanes stationed in the Territory, If for no other reason than to train their pilots under conditions as they exist in these attitudes"
 The history of road construc- tion and agencies charged with that work was reviewed. Figures for Federal and Territorial appro- priations are cited to show that Alaska is bearing proportion of the cost of construction and main- tenance of all projects.

TOKYO, Nov. 25.-The Japanese Cabinet has approved the largest National Budget in the history of Japan, two billion, two hundred and thirty-nine million yen which is about $447 800 900.
 Approval of the budget was made despite persistent warnings from influential financial interests.

 Gold Output Grows
 Gold mining is the only branch of Alaska's mining industry tc prosper in 1881, the Governor de- clared. According to statistics prepared by the United States Geological Survey, Alaska, since 1880, has produced minerals, chief ly gold and copper, valued at S641,- 59l ,OoO. The peak of production was reached in 1916 when it was reported to be $48,386, ,508,
 Since that time there has been a gradual decline, reaching low point last year when the value of all minerals amounted to $12,278.- GOO. It is encouraging to note however, that the gold production increased approximately $1,000,000 over that of 1890. Early reports from mining districts indicate there will be material increase in gold output for the next year.
 Alaska Juneau Leads
 "The total gold production from all sources for the year was put at 459,900 fine ounces valued at $9 ,507 ,000 as compared with 410,020 ounces worth $8,476,000 in 1930. Lode mines produced $4,665, ,000 in gold and of that amount about 83 per cent came from Southeast Alaska, principally from the AL aska Juneau, the largest mine in the Territory
 "The perfection of method for successful mining and milling the low grade ore on this property is recognized as one of the most remarkable achievements in mod ern mining" declared Gov. Parks.
 Copper Hits Toboggan
 The copper mining industry hit the toboggan in 1881, and it's out put was approximately 22,614,O pounds, valued at $1,887 0O0, the smallest on record. It was not much more than one-third of the output for 1880. M
 Silver, largely a by-product of copper mining, also materially re- duced in volume and value. Lead, however, reached a new production total with 3,32l 900 pounds but ow- ing to the low prices prevailing, the value was ony $126,O0O. Other minerals are produced only in minor quantities and do not at present figure largely in the in- dustry as whole. Platinum pros- poets in the Good News Bay sec- tion attracted some attention early in the year.
 Coal production declined slight ly from 1930 figures, both in quan- tily ana Value or output.
 May Be Factor
 Deposits of many of the lesser known minerals, such as antimony, arsenic, bismuth, chromium, iron, manganese, mercury, molybenum nickel, tungsten, zinc, asbestos, barite. garnet, gymsum, jade, and sulphur have been reported but the extent never has been de- termined.
 Although the various minerals mentioned have yielded only small returns, their diversity, wide dis tribution and the interest that has been aroused in the search for them indicate that they may be an important factor in the future mineral output of the Territory, ? said the report.
 The outlook for the mining in- dustry for the next year is most encouraging. Reports from all dis

about $2,0O0,000 less than in 1930 Compared with the 1930 output there was decrease of seven per cent in quantity and II per cent in value.
 There was employed in the com mercial fisheries a total of 22,571 persons. Of that number 12,36C were white, 4,838 Indians, 670 Chi nese, 997 apanese, 2,742 Filipinos 855 Mexicans, 32 Negroes, and 5 unolassified as to race.
 Other Fisheries Decline
 The herring industry experienced a sharp decline" Southeast Al aska's mild-cure production in- creased but this was more than offset by declines in other dis tricts.
 Increased restrictions and read justrnents of working conditions together with decreased prices, com bined to bring about a decrease in the returns to halibut fishermen In 1881, 946 persons were engaged in the haibut fishery and the AL aska fleet landed 2O,425, ,633 pounds valued at $1 1,352,687. Of that amount, 9,626,118 pounds valued at s68,480 were landed in Alaskan ports.
 In 1930, the Alaska fleet pro- duced 31,557O84 pounds valued at $2,991 400.
 Some Make Gains
 The cod fishery showed an in- creased production value of about DO per cent, but the total was slight. The clam packing industry showed a substantial increase in output and value of products, about 50 per cent in quantity and 29 per cent in value over 1880.
 The shrimp industry expanded from Southeast Alaska to include small areas in Prince William Sound, but the output and value was slightly below that of 1e3O Crab-packing condtti ons were slightly expanded and showed an increase in value and quantity.
 Fur Seal Operations
 In the 9 years since the eradica- tion of pelagic sealing by interna- tional covenant and Government control of seal herds on the Prib- ilof Islands, the herds have in- creased in number from 132,000 animals to nearly nine times that number, and many thousands of skins are taken annually for sale in the worlds markets.
 In 1881, 49,524 seal skins were taken by Government crews at the sealing grounds on the Prib- ilofs, the greatest ever recorded up to that time since 1889. "The history of the restoration of the seal herds. is most interesting ana ai1ordS a demonstration Of what may be achieved by proper methods of control and wise utili- zation of the surplus declared the Governor.
 Make Good Profit
 Continuing he pointed out: Sta tistics compiled by the Bureau of Fisheries disclose that since 1918 approximately $6,0OO,0OO has been deposited in the United States as net revenue derived from the sale of seal skins and fox skins. During the same period about 50 per cent of this amount has been expended for administration and improve ments.
 Improvements on the islands consist of concrete dwellings, hos pitals, machine shops, warehouses, salteries, school houses and roads. The Natives on the Islands par ticipate in the returns from the sealing operations and during the

of the Rev. Maj. Giles Buckner
Cooke of Mathews County, Va.
The part he played in the Civil War was
a responsible one. He was closely aSSo-
ciated with several of the South'S fore
most leaders, and is the only surviving
member of the staff of Gen. Robert E.
Lee
Mai Cooke is about to celebrate his
Gath birthday anniversary. It is difficult
to believe that he is SO near the century
mark. One must describe him as 81
years young-not old! His interest in
affairs of the day, his enjoyment of life,
his trips to speak at conventions or to
attend directors meetings of institutions
in the establishment of which he has
played a part-Seldom do we find man
of his years possessed of degree of
mental and physical strength, of spirit
ual serenity and uplift, equal to that of
this erstwhile soldier who is now a re-
tired minister of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church.
He was born in Portsmouth, Va, on
May Is, 1888. After finishing the Nor
folk Academy he entered the Virginia
teachers was Mai. Thomas J. Jackson,
about whom he tells story which in
dicates that the name bestowed at the
Battle of Bull Run could with equal
suitability have been applied in earlier
years. Maj. Jackson took charge of a
Sunday school, and was annoyed by the
irregular and tardy arrival of the teach
erS. He requested that they be prompt
the next Sunday, but they were not, so
at the close of the session he made an
announcement: Ladies and gentlemen,
last Sunday notified you to be here at
B O'Clock today. You did not meet here
at o'clock. You were not punctual.
Now, next Sunday the Sunday school
will open at 8 o'clock, and if you are not
present the doors will be locked"
That" says Maj Cooke, shows the
will of 'Stonewall Jackson, then abso-
lutely unknown except around Lexing-
ton, where he was respected as being
deeply pious."
a FTER graduating from v. M. l., in
1859, the young man began reading
law in Petersburg, Va, a center of the
gay social life of the period. But be-
meath the carefree existence were SOM
Der, swirling currents which in 1861 drew
the Nation into war. Cooke enlisted at
Norfolk and was Immediately given de-
taehment Of men and orders to take all
the powder out of the magazine at Fort
Norfolk and convey it by steam tug to
Richmond.
After delivering the powder to Gov
Letcher, he met a friend, Philip st.
George Cooke Next morning Cooke was
made brigadier general, in charge of
the Department of Northern Virginia.
He had Cooke transferred to his staff
with the rank of first lieutenant, and
sent him with his son, John Cooke, to
headquarters at Alexandria
One day several months later Ned
Bunting, owner and editor of the maga-
zine called Ned Buntling's Own, rode
across into Virginia from Washington,
mounted on magnificent black horse
and waving United States flag. When
stopped by the Confederates, he made a
little speech: Gentlemen, I have not

and decided that If he lived he would
become minister. Not long after the
first Battle of Manassas he passed the
tent Of "Stonewall" Jackson He remem-
bered-but let him tell the story in his
own words:
I'm my last term at v. M I. Maj. Jack
son sent me to the blackboard and gave
me problem to demonstrate. When I
had done so, he said, talking very short,
That will do, sir!' sat down next to
Hays Woody, who said, Buck, Old Jack

imumO was upset, and at the end of
the term I went to Jackson and said,
Maj. Jackson, did you mark me 1?'
Yes, sir! Why did you mark me 1?'
Because you did not take the subject I
gave you, sir!' 7 did, sirl' After dis
cussing the matter intemperately, left
without telling him good-by. I had not
seen him since. Now I gave my horse
to friend to hold and went in to speak
to him. I said, General, come to beg
your pardon, sir, for the intemperate
language used to you when I graduated
at V. M I. Since that time I have been
converted, and now ask you to forgive
me- Gen. Jackson promptly and freely
forgave me. We had a short talk, and
as 1 left he said, Come to my quarters
next Sunday and hear DR.. Pendleton
preach I went, sat by his side through
the service, told him good-by, and never
saw him again."
ON the death of Gen. Cooke, in Deem
ber, 1861, Capt. Cooke was assigned
to the staff of Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard,
commanding the Western Department,
as assistant adjutant and inspector gen.
eral. He was loaned at various times
to the stats of Gen. Braxton Bragg and
Gen. Sam Jones, and was made major
while with Bragg, in 1868.
When Grant appeared before Peters
burg, in 1864, after the disastrous assault
at Cold Harbor, Lee was slow in compre-
hending that Richmond was no longer
the principal point of attack, and
ignored Beauregard's calls for reinforce
mentS. At o'clock in the morning, on
June 18, Beauregard sent Mai. Cooke to
Lee with the message: unless you send
me reinforcementS by early in the morn
ing, nothing but God Almighty can save
Petersburg"
Lee was at Drewrys Bluff, about 19
miles away. He had refused to see two
earlier messengers. When Cooke ar
rived he hunted up one of Lees staff
who had been a schoolmate of his in
Norfolk and at v. M. L, Lieut.. Col. Walter
H. Taylor. He explained the situation,
and through Taylor obtained the inter-
view. He minutely described the des-
perate situation and gave Beauregards
message. Gen. Lee replied reverently:
Il hope God Almighty will save Peters
burg" and bade Cooke send Col. Taylor
to him.
Cooke returned to Petersburg with
Kershaw's Division, which he posted in
the trenches about am. Before noon
Lee arrived with his staff.
This was Cookies second meeting with
Gen. Lee. The first was in May, 1861,
at Richmond, when he had been sent by
Gen. Cooke to lay before Lee a plan of
signals to be used on the Potomac River.
His impression of Lee at that time was
that he was zone of the greatest, ablest

The day has passed when we
had to choose between ugly
shoes and uncomfortable shoes
for walking or, street wear.
Most of us can remember when
there were no good looking
shoes without high heels, when
walking shoes were simply that
and nothing more. when the
woman who worked, or who
walked a great deal, had no
choice between decidedly utili-
tartan types. and shoes with
heels so high that they we're
comfortable to only a few peo-
pie who really preferred such
heels. But the practical turn
of fashions has changed all
that. Now street shoes are a
class to themselves. with as
much fashion as evening shoes,
and built for hard use as much
as the old-time walking shoe.
Lower Heel Smart
This is partly due to the
vogue for lower heels for walk
ing, which is just another evi-
dence of the determination of
smart women to wear clothes
suitable to the occasion. Now
1t looks rather out Of plsce to
see high heels with a tailored

or sport-like costume, unless
the shoes are themselves very
simple, and designed for sports.
The best heel for street wear
is the continental" heel, which
is neither high nor low, shaped
enough for good looks, but sub
stantial to walk on. Shoes with
this heel are suitable for all
street wear, for spectator sports,
and for informal afternoon oc.
casions, if the material of the
shoe is in keeping with the
fabric of the gown.
Sandals for Street
Just to prove that you can
get extremely smart shoes with
this heel, we have sketched one
today from a downtown store.

with a little lighter tone, near
enough the same color. It is a
