NEW DANGER ALASKA INFLUX

With nearly 260 passengers the steamship Northwestern is on the way to Alaska with the first large list of north-bound travellers for the year. More than 70 of the number are coming steerage.
 From all indications, many ships will have to be pressed into service to bring all the people who want to come to Alaska this summer. Un fortunately, many of those seeking to come are without funds beyond their fare. Some even have less than their fare and will stow away.
 The excitement over gold and the publicity Alaska is receiving in res pect to farm colonies, highway. navy, army, aviation and other en- terprises, has brought the territory into the spotlight in the States. Thousands are yearning to come here.
 Alaska wants more people. She needs more people. If she is to de- velop to stature she never will do so with her present meager popula- ton of 60,000. But Alaska does not want men who are broke or women who are penniless. The territory all ready has enough out of work and they are deserving of the first op- portunity to go to work.
 Alaska does need more people with money. funds, if you please, to rb in Alaska needs above all else prospec- tors - and that means prospectors who have funds to keep themselves in the field for at least half a year to a year. It will be a grave mistake to encourage prospectors without money or outfits to come North. And it will be more than a mistake to allow a horde of people to come here without funds seeking work. It would be nothing short of tragic in ease an influx of thousands of that class occurred.
 In the interest of the unfortun- ates now outside who cannot ade- quately finance or outfit themselye and of the territory as a whole i5 would be well if some authority b. set up in Seattle or the point Of de parture of ships for the North to head off all the would-be corners who have not sufficient funds to see themselves through. That very thing is practiced both by the Unit ed States and Canada when it comes to travel across the inter- national boundary line. It is prac- ticed in respect to people of any nationality entering the Yukon Ter ritory It can be done in respect to Alaska.
 If some such measures of pre- caution are not taken and Alaska becomes flooded with helpless in- dividuals. the government or au- thorities in position to now prevent such a contingency will be roundly blamed Now is the piping hour for action in the matter. - Anchorage Times.

BIGGEST GOLD STRIKE

The biggest gold strike of last year, the government has disclosed. was in old trinket boxes where Americans keep their family valu- ables.
 Since the government revalued gold at s35 an ounce, officials of the mint revealed, so many old rings and watch chains have been poured into traffic in scrap gold that it has risen from relative ob- scurity to a big business.
 Last year it passed the hundred million dollar mark, with old watches leading the list.
 One winner of the Kentucky der by cup contributed it to the pile of gold, but the year in which it was won is not disclosed.

ALASKA HERRING TAGGED
 TO GET MIGRATION DATA

 tags show their original uster. Fur ther, the cost of the material is only a fraction of that of nickel, decided advantage during these days of economy. The other 320O left over from the 1888 experiment.
 A total of 641 steel tags and 46 nickel tags were recovered Of these, 153, or 2.1 percent of the steel tags affixed at Craig were re- covered, largely from the Warren and Moves island areas (although a small percentage were reported as having migrated to the vicinity of Cape Omaneyl. Six-tenths of l per cent of the pure nickel tags were recovered from these same areas.
 Steel Tags Superior
 or the Sitka steel tags, 4SS, or A percent; and 40. or Is percent of the pure nickel tags affixed at Sitka were returned, being taken. as were those of the 1883 experi- ment, in the vicinity of Cape Om- aney. GA small fraction of these. too, were reported taken in the Warren-Noyes area.) Two 1883 tags were taken, giving the longest time out for any tag. The steel tags show a decided superiority in returns over the nickel ones used. owing. no doubt, to their greater magnetic attraction.
 Migration Data
 Test tags, placed in fish just be- fore being unloaded from the yes sels provided a means of estimating the interval between the time the tags were taken and the time the recovered tags were reported. It was found that there was, in many cases, considerable lag between the time the tag was placed in the ele- yators and its reported recovery.
 This, of course, confuses the in-

depreciation of the migration data. A system of recovering the tagged fish itself has been worked out and will be in operation during the com ing season. The tag will be indi- cated by the disturbance caused in a balanced electrical field by the presence of the metal, the impulse being amplified to permit automatic indication of the tagged specimen Such a device will make possible ac- curate delineation of migration routes not now feasible.

WILD DUCK COST HUNTER S44
James Price of Rehoboth Got In
Clutches of Law at Lewes

Fourteen dollars, eighty-three
and one third cents pound may
seem a record top price for duck,
but one three pound fowl cost jam
es Price, of Rehoboth, S44, and he
didn't have a duck dinner. The
duck is being held by State Detec-
tive Otto Donoway as corpus
delicti" in a state charge against
Price for shooting the duck on Sat
urday on Silver Lake, State game
refuge. Price was arrested by
Game Warden Algred Mcgee and
taken before Magistrate James T.
Lank, on several charges of viola
tion of the State game laws en-
compassed in the one act. It was
then that the price of duck reach
ed the zenith when the magistrate
placed the following fines against
the hunter; for shooting duck out
of season, $40 fine and $3.50 costs;
for shooting in game refuge, S25
fine and $3.50 costs, total, $44.
Price was given the minimum fine
on each charge. The duck season
does not open until November 20.
The young man pleaded guilty to
the charges and paid for the duck

ON d & C CANAL
Awaits Allocating of Suf.
ficient Funds and Award
ing of the Contract
SLOW PROGRESS is MADE

The dredge Mantua, of the u. S.
E. D., Philadelphia District, engag-
ed in dredging the Delaware City
branch channel of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, has worked to
a point above Fifth street bridge
and by the end of the week is ex-
pected to reach the intersection of
the branch channel with the main
canal Work in other parts of the
canal as well as building new high
way bridges at Delaware City, st.
Georges, Summit and Chesapeake
City, to conform to the span of 200
feet, are expected to begin as soon
as bids can be arranged and slIf-
ficient funds are made available ny
the authorities at Washington to
complete the job. This requires
time as the allocating of funds
have to go thru a considerable set
ting up and knocking down pro-
cess before definitely fixed. Weth-
er much can be done before next
spring depends on the weather.
With such an unusual mild autumn
winter weather is sure to set in
and interfere more or less with
dredging and widening the canal.
Edward S. Fay & Sons Company,
Philadelphia, Pa, contractors for
the Government on the renovation
of Reedy Island Quarantine Sta
ton, have about completed the con-
tract. On Monday and Tuesday
the contractor had a diver working
on repairs to the pipe line that car
ries water from the river to the
storage tank for fire fighting DUR
poses. In some manner the pines
leading into the tank had been dis
turbed since they were originally
laid and the automatic water sys-
tenn was not functioning properly.
The diver mended the pipes with
the use of clamps which eliminated
the necessity of raising them with
pontoons and repairing them above
water. The pipes have been placed
low enough in the river so that no
matter how low the tide may be
enough water would flow auto
matically into the large storage
tank to take care of fire emerg-
encies.
