 There are 16,O0O licensed dogs in King County and 16,00O,O00 in the United States" said Ralph Lomen, vice president and manager of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation. Canned dog food packed i nthe United States last year totaled 150,O0O,O0O pounds. Our initial order is going D New York on the steamship J. l.. Luckenbach
 We have two orders from New York that will give our Seattle plant a $3O,OOO payroll for this year. The manufacture of dog food has developed into one 9f the largest industries in the country. Last year the govern ment inspected 24,OOOOO0 pounds of dog food before it was placed on the market. Four years ago the output of the entire country was only 100000 pounds"

Shipping Bill Would
 Cripple Tourist Trade

Passage of the Davis measure TOW in Congress, amending tie coastWise shipping laws would seriously affect the tourist traf- f1c handled by Canadian OWnej and operated steamship lines, according to advices received by the Chamber of Commerce from Delegate Wickersham. The Chamber recently directed it's Legislative Committee to in- veStigate the effects of the bill and make some recommendation cn the Chambers policy in re- gard to it.
 The Committee wired the De- legate last Tuesday asking him the status of the bill and it's probable effect on Canadian vns- sells in these waters if it should be enacted.
 In reply, Judge WickerSham wired: "Davis bill was favorabiy reported by the Committe2 and is strongly urged by eastern in- terests who are concerned with Atlantic traffic without reference to Alaska. It is feared that pas sage of the bill would seriously affect tourist traffic on Canadian steamers and I am trying to in Guce it's sponsors to exclude Alaska from the operations of the bill"

CUTS CALLED PERIL
TO MAPPING PLANS
Engineers Council Assails Reduc-
tions of Funds for Topo-
graphic Purposes.

Reductions In appropriations for to-
geographic mapping and stream gauging
have brought protests from the Amer
ican Engineering Council, which de-
clareS that budget slashes made by the
House threaten to cripple the Nations
mapping program and to increase un-
employment among civil engineers.
In an effort to decrease Government
expenditures, the House recently passed
the Interior Department appropriation
bill" says the council. "The appro-
priations for this department, which
contains bureaus and services of vital
concern to the engineering profession
we're reduced from over $50, 600 900 for
1882 to slightly over $50,000,000 for
1898.
The Senate Committee on Interior
Department Appropriations has in
creased the items for topographic map
ping by 100000, making the apparent
amount for next year $619,000, as rec
commended by the budget.
However, the bill carries over q
supposedly unexpended balance of
S150,000, but there is not this much
left unexpended at this time for State
cooperative mapping, and it is very
likely that this sum will be materially
reduced by June 80, 1882.
IF the increases as passed by the
Senate committee are finally retained
in the bill the United States Geological
Survey will be able to match only
State cooperative work for 1888, which
is now requested, but no more. If the
increases proposed by the Senate COM
mittee are not sustained the topo-
graphic mapping program will be
seriously impaired"
