WHY ASK THE TRAP OWNERS

Commissioner Frank T. Bell wants trap owners to advise him on what traps they want to be abolished. He has addressed to them & circular letter to that ef- feet. Why is it necessary for MT. Bell to ask for advice from inter- ested parties? He is in better posi- ton to know what traps should be abolished than any individual trap owner. He has all the necessary data at hand. At least he maintains a bureau with agents enough to furnish him with reliable figures on the location of each trap, the amount of fish it catches and whe- ther it defeats the end of proper conservation. One might as well ask prisioners what rules they want made for their government. Each trap owner will want to keep his best trap" No one can blame him for that.
 The people of Alaska have been very patient with MT. Bell. They took him at his word that he was a politician, but believed he was sincere in wanting to give the peo- pie 8 square deal and make rules which would benefit the largest number. The dummy traps" abol- ished last year in favor of the best fishing traps sort of jared belief in his capabilities. However, he still has 8 chance to show that he means business. Perhaps it was the fault of his advisers. Perhaps he expected too much from trap own CTS. Anyway, he will not accom- plish anything by asking the advice of interested parties. - Alaska Fishing News.

SOUTHERN PAC. ANNOUNCES AIR CONDITIONING PROGRAM

Plans calling for air-condition- ing of all passenger equipment used in limited trains on it's four trans-continental routes as we'll as the air-conditioning of a large part of the equipment of it's principal trains operating on the Pacific Coast from Portland to Guadala- jara, Mexico, has just been any, nounced by the Southern Pacific company. The work, to begin inn mediately on about 260 cars, will involve an expenditure of approxi- mately $2,000,000, according to Felix S. McGinnis, vice-president in charge of system passenger traf- fic. and is continuation of the eompany's program for adding to the comfort of passenger train travel begun last May with the partial air-conditioning of certain trains.
 The new program gives cons1d- eration to the comfort of passen- gers in tourist cars, chair cars and coaches and all such equipment on principal trains operating between the Pacific Coast and Chicago and New Orleans will be air-condition- ed. It is expected the new equip ment will be ready for service May 1, at the start of next years tour ist season, McGinnis said.
 Leading trains included in the Fov oir-anndif3nn- ing are the Cascade, between Port land and San Francisco; the Over land Limited, between San Fran cisco and Chicago; the Sunset Limited, between San Francisco and Los Angeles and New Orleans and the Golden State Limited, be- tween Los Angeles and Chicago. Additional equipment to be air conditioned for other trains in cludes pullmans, tourist cars and dining cars for the West Coast, be- tween Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles.
 Pullman sleeping cars, cafe and observation cars operating over the Southern Pacific's West Coast of Mexico route between Nogales, Ari- zona and Guadalajara, Mexico, will also be air-conditioned, it was stated.
 This extensive program of regu- lating the interior temperature and humidity of passenger cars will supplement the more than 100 air conditioned cars that are now in service on Southern Pacific lines.

MILL HAS BEST YEAR SINCE
 TAKEN OVER BY NUSsBAUMER
fContinued from Page One1

tCO0Llnueu rom rage OHeJ when local logs were unavailable, the entire amount was paid to local loggers. During the early months of spring and summer a crew of 24 men were engaged in getting out logs. Later in the sea son about 15 men were thus em- ployed. The logging contractors were Art Larson, Fred Wigg, Paddy Thomas and Henry Johnson.
 Future Uncertain
 No definite plans for the future have been decided upon. There is enough lumber in the yard to take care of local requirements until February at least. Immediately af- ter Christmas Nussbaumer will leave for Seattle and Portland to book orders. Much repair work is necessary, however, before the mill can enter into a new year of opera ton.
 "The past three years have meant struggle" Nussbaumer said. q have made personal saeri- fees to keep the plant going,-al- ways with the hope that outside capital could be brought to see the possibilities here. Tn 1893 I doubled the business of 1882, and this year I doubled last years business
 q appreciate the support Pm getting, but I believe there would be more of it--more local support if the people of Wrangell could be made to realize what this mill means to the community. A payroll of $3O,000, and this doesn't include the amount paid to the loggers, makes a big difference in com munity like ours.'
 Prospects for business in 1885 are exceedingly encouraging, Nuss- baumer intimated. The company still has an unfinished tie contract with the Alaska Railroad, and in qulries from several sources indi- cate a, general business pickup. The mill has a large tract of tim Der in Southwest Cove on which stumpage has been paid to the government, but which has not been completely logged
