C0RDOVA WANTS SALARIES
 FOR US. COMMISSIONERS

The Cordova chamber of com merce recently went on record as definitely favoring the elimination of the fee system for United States commissioners in Alaska and the substitution, instead. of a stated salary for these officials.
 It was pointed out, states the CordOva Times, that fees earned by Alaska commissioners in a majority of eases were far below a living wage, and that as a result it was difficult to get responsible and competent men to act. The case of the Cordova United States com missioner was cited and it was shown that he was actually forced to pay out more for stenographic services in the handling of certain charity cases than the amount of his entire monthly income from fees. A resolution was drawn for circulation among other Alaskan chambers in an effort to have such a deplorable situation remedied

EARL 0HMER HAS SHIPPED 125
 BREEDING MINK SINCE SEPT.

Earl N, Dinner of Petersburg, president of the Yukon Fur Farms Inc, states that his farm has ship ped out of Alaska to many places in the United States approximately 125 breeder mink since last Sep tember. Of recent date six hundred belts have been taken off the ranch and shipped to New York. The farm has raised a very fine quality of mink and all shipments of breedr ing stock were more than satisfac- tory to all those who received them.
 The fur markets, he says, are all asking strongly for ranch raised mink instead of wild mink because they are of much better quality and bring higher price. The furs that are now leading in demand are mink and silver fox,

Announcement has been made by A. R. Brueger, well-known fish buyer of Wrangell, that he has completed arrangements for a mod ern two-line hand-pack salmon cannery to be located in a new building which will be erected shortly on property belonging to the Mccormack Dock company. The new cannery will have a capacity of 1000 cases a day, and will afford employment to approximately 20 persons. It is expected to be ready for operation by May 20.
 "The prime reason for this new enterprise is to increase the quality of our present fresh and mild cure products" Mir. Brueger said, "and we expect to do this by utilizing broken and partially mutilated fish which would otherwise have to be frozen or sold as second quality"
 New Diesel Tender
 A new tender with 100 h.p. die sel engine will be placed in com mission at an early date, and will be engaged in carrying fish from various grounds and stations. The present carrier, Alyeska, will be re- tained in the same line of work.
 License has been granted for a wireless and radio station to be operated within the corporate limits of Wrangell, Mr. Brueger said. This station will probably be installed in the new cannery, and will main tain communication with the sta

Council Asked tOStOp
 Radio Interference

G. NJ. Bidwell, whose patience has been exhausted for some time by radio interference which seems needless, is circulating a petition this week, signed by voters and taxpayers and addressed to the mayor and councilmen. It asks that the town council take action towards eliminating the large and growing amount of interference to radio operation caused by electrical appliances.
 Nearly all of this interference, states the petition, 'can be elimin- ated by the installation of a small filterette which will be supplied locally at the lowest cost. The ra- dio is the greatest single pleasure that we have in Wrangell and it does not seem fair to the majority that a few should deprive them of this pleasure"
 The closing paragraph asks for immediate action and suggests that an ordinance be passed to cover the matter. The following persons had signed the petition up to Wednes day afternoon:
 c. p. Kirtland, H. W. Nettleton F. S. Barnes, E. NJ Campbell, G. J. Fabricius, T. J. Mcbride, D. L. Wing, C. C. Mundy;
 c. F. Hurley. Chet Lloyd, J. Sa- bol Wellons, C. W. Bradley, James Nolan. s. Cunningham, E. R. Old field, A. R. Brueger, Mrs. NJ. O. Johnson, W. M. Whitehead, George M. Bidwell, H. Armstrong, I. C. Bjorge, 2. M. Bradford, Frank Churchill;

Projects Planned to
 Improve Farm Home

N WASHINGTON, DC. Jan. S-De- Eelopment of a super-power project in the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys, which would place cheap electricity with modern living con veniences in every farm home Of the middle west, is contemplated in a bill Senator Shipstead will in- troduce in congress.
 The Minnesota senator, regarded as the father of the upAer Missis- sippi river nine-foot channel navi- gation project, said here that his program was a logical development of inland waterway improvements for the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
 The project would provide for dams and reservoirs on the Ohio and Mississippi and all their tribu- taries wherever possible. Cheap water power wherever practicable would be developed. and where not practicable local oil using plants would be erected for the develop ment of cheap energy.
 The huge water shed would be divided into regional sections for the development and transmission of power The same regional divi- sions would furnish opportunity he believes for cooperative purchasing of power-using and bathroom equip ment, financed by the government over a long period of time on a plan similar to that of the federal hous- ing administration.
 A bath room in every farm house is the goal toward which he is aim ing. Sixty percent of farmers now have automobiles while only about 5 percent have modern baths.
 To satisfy the demand for con- yeniences that go with an accept able standard of farm living, Sena- tor Shipstead declared, would pro- vide labor not only for the idle in the upper Mississippi but for mil lions of men now idle in factory towns throughout the country.

 TO CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. 4- Alaskas delegate to congress, An thony J.

Yukon Territory and the Territory of Alaska.
 The two home rule bills would transfer control of the fisheries, ex- cept fur seal and sea otter. from the department of commerce to the Territory, and give Alaska control of it's game and fur-bearing animals which are now governed by the de- partment of agriculture.
 Other measures introduced by Delegate Dimond would:

 Grant lou acres or lanu or one placer or lode mining claim in Alaska to surviving residents or the widow or minor children of deceas- ed residents of Alaska who served in the World War.

 Prospects for 1885
 MT. Brueger, who returned from a business trip to New York recent ly. is optimistic about the prospects for the fresh fish business. "I think the market demand and prices for the coming year will hold up fairly we'll" he stated. ''Of course, we cant expect to get the prices for spring fish that we did for fall fish. The markets for these two types of fish are separ- ate and distinct. Virtually all spring caught salmon is utilized for export, or sold in the middle west. The fall fish. which is of better quality, is sold almost ex- clusfvely in New York.
 We will utilize fish which would come to Us ordinarily-tha is from trollers and gill-netters. There will be no interference with the supply of fish for the local can neries already in Wrangell, nor will our product affect their mar ket We will have no fixed quantity production Our two lines will have capacity of 500 cases eaeh-one line for one-pound flats, the other for one-pound flats or tails. The canning machinery will be fur nished by the American Can Com pany, and will be electrically driven. All fish will be butchered. cleaned and put in the cans by hand"

 The Christmas Fund was started 20 years ago by ". D, Gross, own CT of the chain of Coliseum Thea tres in southeastern Alaska. The Juneau Empire of December IT commented on the philanthropic spirit which has prompted Mir. Gross to sponsor this project, as follows
 ''Fwenty years ago Dave Gross was raising a Christmas fund to provide spending money for resi- dents of the Pioneers Home at Sit ka by benefit performances at his Grand Theatre. Twenty years ago, the first subscriber to his benefit was B, M. Behrends.
 During the twenty years that have elapsed, the number of resi- dents of the Home has grown, and every year since that time, Mir. Gross has increased his efforts to provide each old-timer with some money of his own that he could rat tie in his pocket and spend for himself during the year. Recently MT. Gross has started his fund among Alaskans in Seattle, where the Alaska Weekly is assisting him in getting subscribers He has con tinued his subscription list in Ket- chikan, Wrangell, Petersburg and Juneau. That the fund has contin- ued for twenty years since its start with MT. Behrends' subscription in 1914, is proof of it's worth, and of the industry and kindly spirit of MT. Gross who has never failed to provide the Pioneers with this Christmas offering"

Bridge Players Enter
 Contract Tournament

Frank Barnes and Br. Scruby are the committee appointed by Van Fisk, president of the Bills club, to organize the contract players of Wrangell for a tournament to begin about February l.
 Mir. Barnes leaves on the Vic toria, and while away will look over all the new books on contract and bring back some of the best, so that any arguments over bidding, leads, etc, may be settled without the wife's resorting to the rolling pin on the arrival home after the eve nings play.
 Tables of Contract will be started at once at the club, in order to learn the number that will be in terested. The front room will be turned over to the contractor" so as to have the benefit of silence.
 At present the committee mem bers believe that it will be best for everyone to arrange partnerships for the period of the tournament, a couple to play together from begin ming to end. They admit the risk of a husband and wife partnership but if the agreement is voluntarily entered into, they accept no blame.
 All those interested are asked to see MT. Barnes or Dr. Scruby, or show up at the Bills club on Fri day night Membership in club is not necessary,

Alaska Gold for 1884
 Valued at $16, 793,OOO

The Department of the Interior announces, through an advance statement prepared by Philip S. Smith, of the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey, that the minerals produced from Alaska mines in 1894 had an estimated value of $16,793,000. as compared with $10,366,OOO in 1883. This brings the value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 to more than $6S0,000, 1000, The fig ures for 1884 are preliminary esti- mates and subject to revision The final figures will appear in the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska, now in preparation.
 Gold
 The gold production of Alaska in 1894 is estimated to have been worth S16,105,000 based on the current price of S35 a fine ounce. This value exceeds that for the pro- duction of any other year subse- quent to 1916. In this comparison, however, it should be remembered that in all the preceding years the established price of gold has been $20.67 an ounce, so that the new price is about 69 percent greater than the old price The total value of the gold production of Alaska from the beginning of productive mining in 1880 to date is estimated as nearly s435, 100000,
 Copper
 The value of the production Of copper from Alaska has for many years been an important item in the annual inventory of the miner al output of the Territory, amount ing to the enormous total of more than $214, 100000. With the recent decline in the price of copper, how ever, it has no longer been profit able to continue the operation of the large Alaska copper mines, and they were closed down in 1883 and remained imperative in 1884
 Silver
 In 1854 silver to the value of about s74,000 is estimated to have been produced from Alaska ores and metals. By far the largest part of this silver was recovered as a minor accessory of materials valu- able primarily for some other metal, notably gold. Thus. nearly three quarters of this total was derived as a byproduct in the treatment of gold ores from the lodes of the Ter ritory, and somewhat less than
