 News of the strike was brought to Juneau by H. s. Graves and Peter Brevick, prospectors who have been in the district for the past three months. Graves said that he believes the strike is to be one of the richest in the world, altho only spread over a small area.
 If the strike turns out to be tcna flde, it will be the first platinum strike of consequence On the continent, it is reported by geologists.

The Fishing Industry In Russia
 Juneau Empre

Russia, under the Soviet Five Year Plan, is making giant strid- es in building up it's fishing in- dustry, says a Department of Commerce publication. Before the World War, although 500,000 persons were employed in this industry, it was technically very backward. Production was, there fore, very low, considering the abundant supplies of fish avail able. The total catch in 1913 a. mounted to only 924,820 short tons.
 The Soviet Five Year Plan provided for technical improve ment of methods of catching and handling fish, showing in.. provements for the first three years. In 1881 the total eaten was 1,413,477 short tons, and last year it had mounted to 1,575,O56 short tons.
 The fishing industry is in the hands of the State which oper- a1es in three ways, through fish cries managed directly by the State, through those managed by fish cooperatives, and through collectives which in nclud e in.- cceasing numbers of individual fishermen. The share of the latter groups in the total pro- auction of fish is large and growing. It was 60 per cent i,' 1880 and 88 per cent in 1881. Collectivism Of fishing h s brought many changes and inn provements, such as the use of poWerboats, motorized fishing stations, and better boats, gear and equipment. The engine pow CT available for fishing rose from 10000 horsepower on January ], 1929, to 150,000 horsepower on the same date this year. The number of boats increased from 67,1OO in 1880 to 73.8OO in 1881.
 Improvements in tranSDOrta-

the proportion of fresh fish ship ped to market.
 Fish canning is also making great strides, and facilities are constantly being enlarged. Pro- c,uction of canned fish, in cans Of 400 grams net, amounted to 56,262,000 in 1880 and 74,297,600 in 1881. Canning methods are being improved, with increasing recovery and utilization of by products, such as oils, fish-meals, etc.
 For the improvement of the technique of fish and prepara- ton of fish as a food and for other purposes the Soviet Goy- ernment has set up number of scientific institutes and experl- ment stations, located at the chief points of catch and pro- duction, and supervised by a central scientific organization, the TSIRKH Central Scientific Institute for the Fish Industry) The tasks of this Institution in- clude Investigation of different districts, study of kinds of fish i1l each, migration and other habits, etc.

reasons of putting the country on a

discouraged at the Capitol and in de-

The recent change in reapr ortion-
ment of Congressional districts in
several states has salutary effect on
legislators. In the states affected, it
is interesting to observe that leeisla-
tors who must be elected by the vot-
ers of the entire state instead of one
district have been giving special at
tentiOn to problems of the common
wealth. Formerly, it was difficult to
have member of Congress concern
himself with affairs outside his i'm
mediate bailiwick. Now they are alb
sorbed in selling their service to the
state. The relative security that
some incumbents enjoyed when
charged with maintaining political
fences in a few counties has been
wiped out by the reapportionment

patent medicines for the relief of de-
preston victims are concocted with a
free hand on Capitol Hill. Bitter
partisan warfare has broken out in
the Senate and House over this issue.
Concern is felt in various quarters
that in attempting to fabricate solu-
tlon Congress may aggravate what is
really serious problem of relief ad-
ministration. With the national leg
islative body in open disagreement as
to relief forms, the fear is manifest
that local agencies may be tempted
to let up on their activities in anti
cipation of generous Federal aid It
is of genuine Importance that Con-
gressional meddling should not break
down the lavish system of local COM
relief work that has been built
up over a period of months.
The drive for reduction of personnel
in the Army and the Navy has been
given a severe setback as a conse-
quence of the Sino-Jap war. The
voices of peace organizations while
raised in protest against increased ap-
do not fall on ears as re-
ceptive as was indicated last fall.
Congressional leaders have postponed
consideration of appropriation bills
affecting these two armed services.

MANY ATTEND
SHIPPING MEET
FinlaysOn Livestock Group Decides to
Continue Shipments by Rail.
Donates to Extension Work.

About 125 men attended the annual
meeting of the Finlayson Livestock
Shipping Association at the Finlay-
son town hall Monday and took part
in discussing plans for 1882. After
detailed discussion of shipping by
truck or rail, the association finally
decided to ship by rail due to the
fact that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company had been allowed to
make a minimum car rate of six
thousand pounds. 1t was felt by the
members that with this minimum
rate that their shipments would be
more satisfactory by rail than by
truck.
c. NJ. Doren, representative of the
Central Livestock Shipping Associa-
tion of South st. Paul, was present
and talked on shipping associations
throughout the state. He told the
members that he was very much
pleased with the interest they are
taking in regard to their association.
A talk was also given by County
Agent Fred B. Willrett on Extension
activities in Pine county for the year
1882. A good deal of interest was
taken in the Extension service and
the association voted to make dona-
ton of SIS for the carrying on of
boys and girls All Club work during
the coming year.
The arytreasurer, E. N.
Bengtson, reported that twenty cars
of livestock had been shipped by rail
which returned $15,O52.66 to the ship
pers.
Harold Mach acted as manager
during 1881 but declined the nominal
ton for the year 1882. Frank Hobbs,
Clifford Carman, Frank Wiener, and
Alex Carlson were reelected to the
board for the coming year.

PINE CITY LOSES TO
NORTH BRANCH QUINT'

North Branch defeated Pine City
high school in basketball at the ar
mOry Friday evening by a score of "a
to %. This game was another very
close affair and was a surprise to fol-
lowers of the sport in that Pine City
had previously defeated North Branch
on the latter's floor by a decisive
score.
The game was rather loosely played
with Pine City trailing their oppo-
nents much of the way. In the last
half, the Pine City team seemed to
pull together and overcame a point
lead to tie the score. Shortly before
the final whistle, North Branch Sc
cured the winning basket and held
the lead.
Pine City is to play Finlayson a re-
turn game at Finlayson, Friday eve
ming, Feb. IL, and this game is ex-
pected to be an interesting affair
since these two teams played double
period overtime tie when they met on
the armory floor.
The referee for the game was M.

COUNTY SURVEYOR

At the meeting of the county board
on February 9Th, James Buckley was
appointed to the position of county
surveyor. Wendell P. Huber held the
position for several years, but secured
work with the state highway depart

lowed the work of surveying land in
Pine county. He has compiled many
field notes and is familiar with the
government plats and measurements.
A brother, William ]. Buckley, was a
former county surveyor.
