The Dream Of An Alaskan
 By E. S Hungerf0rd

When I first laid out the se- quence and substance of my let ters to the Alaskan this one was listed as one of an altogeGh- CT different character; merely a reiterance of cold blOOded statistics and facts. Instead, l find myself impelled, while my impressions are fresh, to try to relate a recent, rather unusual, experience. My personal experi- enceS are of course of no inn rortance, but I thought that this one, if properly related, might carry a message.
 A few days since, I rigged a trolling line and went out to try my luck with the king salm- on. There was nothing new or strange about that. Having done considerable along that line in years past, I am no stranger to the art of stirring up an ash breeze to furnish motive power to tow a herring around by the nose In my recent venture, which was of course confined to the waters in front of town, there was only one thing notice- ably different from former years. The reward of my efforts! How ever after exercising my wiles for two days without tangible reward, unless lame arms and wrists might be so considered, on the third day l struck the right combination and my per- severence was finally reward cd. Bing ping ping! just like that and I had three fish in th.e boat. They were small, but for my purpose; canning and eat- ing, they were very satisfactory and welcome.
 I am very fond of salmon but, unfortunately, so constituted that an over indulgence in fresh salmon does not always set well

Interest seemed 10 he centered on the Forestry float on the other side of the cock from the float to which was landing and to which the Bureau of Fisheries boat 'Brant' was just tying up at the same time as I on my side was making my own lines fast.
 I certainly was 8 puzzled guy as ! made my way up the slip on to the dock. Just as I reached the dock level everyone seemed 70 go mad with enthusiasm over something or somebody on the Forestry fOat. There seemed to ne three bands on the job, all playing at once. Where they cu1ne from, I would not under take t0 say but I seemed to be familiar with the faces of many Of the players who seemed, at that particular moment, to be more interested in noise from their instruments than melody. The same with the crowd. I will ao.nit that I have never seen anything like it in my life. It was 8 joyous, noisy outburst of friendly feeling. Streamers Of scrpentine were flying every- wi ere. Just imagine the state of mind of any Alaskan walking into a celebration like that with nc cause other than a Bureau ol Fisheries boat in sight and you can imagine my puzzlemenl at that stage of my dream.
 Everyone was so busy making racket that I could not find anybody to tell me what it was all about. But finally, by dint Of some unmannerly crowding I gained my position of vantage,

Of course there can be no doubt that my previous three days of musing ever the fisheries problems of Alaska and the scarcity of her. ring in the inland waters as compared to former times when the herring schools maintained an inland water king salmon fisheries, the frailties of a Com missioner of Fisheries who is deliberately intensifying his condition by supporting t h operation of stink plants and various other angles to the same question had some influence over my mental reactions, even while asleep. I had and have no excuse for dreaming the dream that I did except the old saying Dreams always go by con- traries" In this instance at least there certainly is founda- tiOn for asserting the truth of this old saying, for never was 3 dream more at variance with conscious thought or bred ny expectation. But let us proceed:
 The night of the big salmon feed I went to bed, seemingly perfectly normal About two o'clock in the morning I aWoke myself, my wife, and the chil- dren in the adjoining room, from a sound slun1ber, by sit ting up in bed and cheering at the top of my voice. With as sound a sleeper as myself th.s is very unusual, but the strange part as I look at it, is the fan tastic dream which called forth the unusual demonstration. Here it is, as nearly as I can remember it.

auto.
Returning to Remington, he said.
Holta noticed the rear door of the
machine was open and the barrel of
the high-powered rifle was protrud-
ing.
Remington was dead. The bullet
had entered the central part of his
BODY, taking an upward course
through the heart. Holta and Lins-
sen fastened to the city with Rem.

0TTAWAPARLEY TO
PROCEED SLOWLY IN
TRADE AGREEMENTS
Plan Bi-lateral Treaties De-
signed Not to interfere
With U. S. Commerce

Ottawa, August 8.-(R)-A prospect
that the imperial conference would
limit itself to bi-lateral agreements
between the dominions and leave the
rest of the agenda for the coming
world economic conference at which
the U. s. will sit, appeared as the
conference began its third and per-
haps final week Monday.
The general belief was that Great
Britain would do something to open
her doors wider to the products of
the dominions, but that in doing so
she would be inclined to confine her
self to measures looking to an inter-
national revival of trade rather than
to purely empire benefit.
It was recalled that the Prince Of
Wales. on the eve Of the opening Of
the conference, referred especially to
the undesirability Of damaging the
empires world trade.
For the most part, 1t was expected
Monday, the new trade alignments
made here will be considered as revi-
sions Of Observation-Disclosures treaties
rather than an attempt to treat the
rest Of the world, particularly the
U. s.. as competitors.
On the average, the q. s. has
bought almost $500 900, 900 worth Of
rubber each Of the last five years
from the Straits Settlements, $780,
000. 900 worth Of pulpwood and news
print paper from Canada as we'll as
SO 100000 worth Of timber, $4,000
900 worth Of tin from Malaga and
90 worth OF tin from Malaga ana
from $4,000, 900 to $30,O00,OO0 worth
Of wool, hides and skins from Aus
tralia, New Zealand and South
Africa, respectively.
In these purchases, It was pointed
out, the U. s. supports the economic
structure Of the empire In no small
way, especially In taking rs per cent
Of the rubber produced there.
As result Of this, America appears
before the conference far less as a
trade rival than an indispensable
partner In imperial prosperity. Amer
leans have more than 5000, O00. 900
invested In the empire and they buy
from Canada more than IS times Is
much Is all the nations Of the COM
monwealth together.
