'COLDSTEIN BACK F ROM FUR TRIP
 INTO INTERIOR
Mining Operations in Full Swing Irappers and
 Traders Sell Catches

Completing four weeks fur buying trip, Charles Goldstein ar rived in Juneau last night on the seaplane Patco which met him at Skagway.
 MT. Goldstein travelled via Skag- way down the Yukon river, buying all along the route, and going as far as Fairbanks, stopping for @ few days there and then flying to Circle and returned by river boat.
 "The Interior is having ban ner summer despite the set-backs caused by lack of supplies and ma- chinery due to the longsoremen's strike" MT Goldstein said Min ing operations are greatly stimu- lated and many men are working"
 Extensive purchases of fur were made, and MT Goldstein believes that the trappers and traders will dispose of practically all of their catch this season.

that the situation would be cleared up without delay he said no one could tell how long the current tie-up might laSt-it might end tomorrow, in one week or one month-it is impossible to tell
 There was no reason or excuse he said for the strikers to call off the Alaska agreement which was entirely separate from the re- mainder of the Pacific Coast. Most of the leaders and many strikers apparently entertained the same opinion. But the Strike Commit tee is in complete control of the situation and is all powerful. Every thing is being done that can be done.
 Prevents Stock Movement
 The tie-up of shipping on the Pacific Coast is doing serious in- jury to the salmon industry. No shipments have been made from Seattle of canned salmon for some time. Retailers stock are becom- ing depleted, the shelves the empty and other commodities such as canned oysters and other fish, are being substituted for salmon. If this condition should exist for an indefinite period it may take a long time for the canneries to recapture the market thus lost.
 MT. Friele said the Association of Pacific Fisheies has long fost- cred a policy of creating a spirit Of cooperation within the industry and between the industry and the Territory. Both of us will benefit from this" he said. He pointed to the establishment of employment offices in the Territory from Ket- chiGan to Anchorage and said that the Association was urging all packers to utilize Alaskans in their operations whenever and wherever 1t is possible. We believe they are making a quite satisfactory program and hope that this will continue in the future" he said. Anything our Association can do in this line or in any other way to assist you it will be more than glad to do and we will be glad to hear from you at any time," he said
 Medical Aid Is Vital
 Unless more adequate facilities for the treatment of tubercular conditions among the Alaskan In- dianS are made available quickly, within the next twenty or twenty five years the entire race will be decimated, declared Dr. s. F. Eel lows, Director of Medical Relief for the Alaska Division of the Office of Indian Affairs. He has held that position for the past three years and was recently ordered to report for duty at Alberqueque, N. M.,

 Cannery Outlook Foggy

| MT Schafer said.
 Cannery Outlook Foggy While the salmon packers vera successful in obtaining an inde- pendent code covering their own activities, thus simplifying many of their problems, the outlook for the current season is "foggy," de- clared MT Friele. Costs of pro- duction show an average increase of 80 cents per case, he said A market price of that commodity has not only not increased but is in fact 40 cents per case lower than it was last fall. All com modity prices, he added, have been advancing very slowly in recent months, and there does not seem to be much chance for an increase in the prices of canned salmon in the near future. It is too early, however, to state definitely what next falls quotations will be and the outcome of this seasons opera tions will depend upon market con- ditions at that time
 Strike Is Handicap
 The longshoremen's strike which tied up shipping to Alaska early last May for thirty days, and which after brief interlude has again blockaded the Territory also adds to the uncertainty of the industry's outlook, MT Friele declared. we have got enough supplies to carry us over for the next thirty days, but what now bothers us is how we are going to get our pack out to the market" he said
 MT. Friele remarked that he had spent his entire time early this spring trying to get the Alaska shipping released He praised the fine cooperation given by Governor Troy and other Alaskans and AL askan organizations. Forseeing, he said that resumption of the strike was imminent, he did his best to prevail upon Mayor Smith not to endeavor to open the port of Se- attle to general shipping, and he added T was thrown out of the Mayors office and the Chamber of Commerce a couple of times"

when his successor has reported for duty here. Increased hospital and medical facilities he said are badly needd. In the past two years despite every effort only one hospital and a few nurses have been added to the medical relief service. He urged support generally of Alaskans and such organizations la as the Chamber of Commerce to the aid of the medical relief pro- gram.
 In isolated communities, where the Indians do not have contact with the whites there is a marked freedom from diseases such as tuberculosis he said But where they do have the contacts the death rate from tuberculosis is Is times as high as it is for the re- mainder of the entire country. If hospitals can be built now and a systematic attack made, this Scourge can be checked he said. Much more money is needed than has yet been made available"
 Consolidated Is Suggested
 The Board of Directors today advised the Chamber that after a conference with local halibut fish ermen it had wired the Chambers of Wrangell, Petersburg, Ketchikan and Sitka suggesting a consolida- tion of areas two and three as a means of relieving existing condi- tions. The wire said. Juneau fishermen favor attempting relief by requesting the Tn tern ational Fisheries Commission to combine areas two and three with the pres ent season limit; and limiting the total per boat catch on all boats to 16,500 pounds. In present area two with continuation present per man limit thus greatly reducing schooner take area two; please contact your fishermen and wire their reaction this plan or inform us any other plan they favor so we can get combined action earliest possible"
 Local fishermen, the Board re- ported estimate that they have averaged only 36 days of actual fishing per man this season due to the curtailment program adopt ed before the beginning of opera tions last March They charge there is too much red tape and tco much regulations under present conditions.

OLYMPIA, Wash, June 28. - Ten persons were killed and five injured in a terrific explosion that wrecked the Denn Powder Company's plant, eight miles from here late yesterday.
 Two women and 12-year- old boy were among the employees killed when eight tons of newly mixed dynamite detonated with crashes heard many miles distant. Identification of the managled dead is difficult.
 Some of those in the plant were hurled 75 feet.
 The property loss is estimated at $75,0O0.
 Police and firemen were rushed to the scene to prevent brush fires started by the blast from spreading.
 Ed Parker, an employee, said the first blast was in the mixing machine and that started a fire. Workers turned on the hose but the fire spread. Some of the em- ployees fled, then came the ter rife detonation.

been placed. There remain about 150 or 200 inside workers yet to be placed, who will no doubt be ab- sorbed quickly when the canneries start operating" MT. Friele said Delay of Ten Days
 Due to the waterfront strike SUD- plies and crews for the Bristol Bay area were delayed 10 days in getting away from Puget Sound which gave them only 10 days, in- stead of the usual 20 days, to make cans and preparations for the op- ening of the season. In spite of the necessary rush. the Kvichak River cannery was in shape to operate when the season opened Monday, according to MT. Friele
 Last season a pack Of 90,000 cas- es was put up at the Kvichak Riv- CT cannery and it will probably not exceed 50,000 this year due to the five year cycle by which can nerymen estimate their seasons pack. MT. Friele said. The entire Bristol Bay pack, which was ap- proximately 1,5O0,0O0 cases last year is not expected to be over 1,000,- 900 this season, he declared.
 Good Pack Expected Southeast
 'In the Southeast Alaska can neries of the Naket Packing Com pany, a fair pack is looked for this year though the two year cycle of this section is not always reliable. The season opens at Hidden Inlet on July 5, at Union Bay on July 10 and at Waterfall on July 15."
 "The strike is darkening the out look of the salmon market, as there are more cases on hand than was the case last year, and due to the prevention of shipping, they are accommodating in the Seattle ware houses. There are at this time approximately 100000 cases of pinks 100000 cases of reds, 50,000 cases of echoes and 50,000 cases of chums, which must be disposed of, on hand. Market prices this season are less than last fall, with pinks $1.10 a case, chums $105, medium reds $135 and reds $175. An at tempt is being made to raise the price of reds to $1.80, but has not yet been effected" he declared.
 "The opening of Alaska ship ping in time for the Bristol Bay canneries to operate this year pre- vented a loss of at least $1 ,000, ,000 to the salmon packers as well as a tremendous loss to the Territory in taxes and employment MT. Friele said.
 This will be MT Friele's last trip to Bristol Bay this year and he expects to return to Juneau by plane July 10, to proceed from here to his Southeast Alaska head quarters at Waterfall.
 Eigel Buschmann, General Su- perintendent of the Nakat Pack ing Company, accompanied MT. Friele to Juneau yesterday and will continue with him to Bristol Bay tomorrow. MT. Buschmann will remain day at the Kvichak cannery and return to Juneau on the same plane. Others who will make the trip tomorrow are L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent for the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries and Hugh J. Wade, Deputy Administrator of the MIRA for Alaska. The latter will also return on the same plane to his headquarters here while MT. Wingard expects to leave the plane at Cordova on the southbound trip and there connect with U. s. Fish cries Commissioner Frank T. Bell, on the Rrant

Outstanding.
Of all those who have attempted
to record it in harmony, it was Bach
alone who was able to Undue the tell
ing with vitality and life fire. Through
profound devotional sensitiveness, per-
haps, or the natural shrinking from
or inability to relive the great trag-
edy. the successors of Bach have pro-
duced music in which the fundamental
vitality has been lowered and the true
reason of the Passion-that through
death there should be life consequent-
ly overlooked.
Bach's contemporary, Handel, chose
'The Resurrection" as subject for an
oratorio written in Italy in 1708. At
though his messiah" has grown in
popularity with each generation and
it's majesty impresses itself with con-
stantly renewed force, his attempt to
picture the glory of the resurrection
came to naught and has had no per-
Torrance worthy of remembering.
The promise of Immortality which
the Easter day brings is but con-
firmation of what every one knows
who has music in his heart. Music
is the one gladstone ingredient in the
sorry mixture which is life and it is
there with a constant message Of hope
and indestructible vitality. For this
reason alone 1t should be given prom

observes a writer In the Washington
Star.
1t is a remarkable fact, however,
that the aspect of Joy and liberation
which is the ultimate accomplishment
of the events Of Holy week has been
of so little inspiration to the great
writers of music. It is, perhaps, i'm
possible for the human mind to ade-
quately grasp the meaning of the re-
demption and so to glorify it in the
Ioutpouring of the one divine element
with which we are blessed-music. It
is true, when Christ rose from the
dead 1t was without accompaniment
of angel choirs, but silently and I'M
ostentatiously the great benefit to hui
mainly took form. The angel at the
tomb sat quietly without harp or trump

Is not here" and the news was car
Eied as quietly to the waiting apostles.

after should have been a source of
