HALIBUT SEASON IS HERE.

The 1884 halibut season opens tomorrow and already the majority of the fishing vessels are on their way to the banks
 Good luck to these hardy fishers and may they return with good catches and sell at good prices
 The men who go down to the sea in these habut fishing craft know that time is money and fish are gold They must be on the banks when the season opens.
 Last year the catch ran more than twenty -one million pounds of halibut and about million five hundred thousand pounds of cod
 Some may shake their heads and mourn that the funs gone out of fishing with commissions and codes and such. But all figure that when the catch is in the price is paid and the profits split share by share they'll make enough in the six months to perhaps tuck them snugy away.
 Here is good luck.

Trade with Alaska.
Howell. Mass. Courier-Citizen.

Howell, Mass, Courler-CltlzenD
 On account of the remote situation of Alaska, it is possible to obtain figures of it's trade with the rest of the country such as are not available for any of the State. The Daily Alaska Empire, in its recent development edition' has published table of shipments from this country which shows falling off marked that of our exports to foreign countries The reason for the decline is evidently, however in part somewhat different. The high mark was reached in 1927, when the Territory took our goods to the amount of $53000000 In 1882 the latest year for which statistics pub shed, the amount S19,000000
 Some of the details are easily explained Beef and veal shipments, which also at their maximum in 1927 shrunk from nearly 100000 pounds to 2401 050. This is probably due to the development of reindeer breeding. As matter of fact some of this meat is now exported to the United States proper. The decline in pork, ham, bacon, mutton and lamb shipments much smaller and that in poultry and game was negligible The last mentioned item showed actual gain in 1880 and 1881 the figures for the previous banner year of 1927. The falling off in dairy products and eggs also comparatively small Wheat flour and sugar have than held their own. The great shrinkage in manufactures of wood doubtless to be accounted for by the building of mills to work up Alaska's abundant supplies of material There has, the other hand, been an enormous increase in the shipments of paper boxes and cartons.
 Alaska is supposed to have vast reserves of coal
 
 complications growing out of the discovery of ex- tensve frauds and the subsequent cancellation of all remaining claims. This situation has been set right but imports have not yet diminished great ly to indicate that the Territory is becoming independent of outside supplies Indeed the decline in purchases of goods which be produced at home indicates that the depression has played part in the general shrinkage Of course in the case of most commodities the lower prices of 1882 account for large part of the money decline.
 The next decade will probably witness a good deal of further readjustment in the trade of this Territory with the United States proper In the course of 10 years it is possible that some of the items will be almost eliminated while, with grow ing prosperity others will greatly increase. There will be continual shifting in the proportions of various commodities until Alaskan possibilities have been further explored and it be better de- termned in what respects the region can be entirely self supporting, and what articles must always be obtained from the United States or from foreign countries

ALASKA LOSES ABLE OFFICIAL.

While all Alaskans pleased tha the merit of B F Heintzleman has been officially recognized by his promotion to higher. and more responsible position in the Forest Service, the regret that ms new work will take him away from Alaska IS general
 In the fifteen years more that he has been here he has demonstrated that he is one of the very best public officials that ever associated with the governmen mt of this Territory
 Of the hghest character, intelligence, compet- ence and er 4rgy, he has impressed his personality ndelibly upon Alaska The usefulness ot his service to the Territory is of high order. He has accom- plished great good which will retain it's importance even though he may be far away. The hope that he may return again to the Territory in an official capacity, or otherwise, is sincere and widespread.
 He will leave Alaska with the assurance that he takes with him the love and esteem of the people remaining behind. That he will make good in his new work there is no doubt. Making good is a part and parcel of MT. Hentzleman. He has always made good throughout his still brief, but very active career He is expert in his profession to which he has been devoted and faithful but equal with aithfulness to his profession has been his desire to be useful to the public. He is a good and able man, and fine and patriotic citizen

amendment by the committee, but Norris believes 1t still is a big step toward outright popular election.
 As originally drawn it would have divided the electoral or Presidential" vote, the amendment terms it. in each State in proportion to the popular vote received by each candidate, but the committee changed this to give the States entire electoral vote to the candidate receiving plurality of the direct vote.
 "In effect" the committee report said, ''this is 10 change from present conditions, except that 1t does away with the Presidential Electors
 Under a change made by the committee the candidate receiving the highest number of such votes if that number constituted 35 per cent or more of the total would be President. The election hen, could only be thrown into the House if two 3r more candidates had equal and highest number of votes, received 35 per cent of the total.
 In such event the House would choose from not more than the highest three on the list and the Senate would name the Vce-President under similar circumstances from the two highest.

 The various clubs are requested to send a delegation to a meeting listed to take place at the Wilson's club rooms on South Wilson street.

Refuses To Pay,

II won't pay a cent

Fl won't pay d cent"
 Just that remark put John Marrone, 2S, of 672 Wilson street in a police jail cell this morning. It really, however, was more than that remark since parking tag was also connected with the case.
 It seems that Sunday night, Patrolman Michael karpelman placed a tag on Morrone's car parked on South Elm in what / the policeman says was a re- strieted area. The driver not only failed to pay but failed 10 appear in court this mOrn- ing to answer a summons.
 He came in when court was all over and was spotted by PatrolnIan Karpelman, who took him downstairs for an interview with Desk Sergeant Joe Baglcy. It was then that Morrone remarked about pay ing with the result given above.
 "You'l be of the force for this," Morrone told Patrolman karpelman as he was being brought to cell.
