ULNA, RADIUS BRING $2O BILL,
 BUT THEY SMELL FIERCE
lAlaska Pressl

(Alaska Press)
 The ulna and radius of the left front leg, my friends .......... Sounds like a veterinarian s diagnosis, but it means hard, cold cash to a small army of hardy AL askans who are now roaming the Inever-neyer lands with muzzle- loader and eutlass, looking for coyotes and wolves!
 At the office of Territorial Treasurer Oscar Olson, they're handing out twenty-dollar bills like they were tickets to revival meeting, to anyone who has the old ulna and radius.
 These two bones are a surety against hocus-pocus, and plenty good proof that somewhere in your sojourns you met up with a beast who either had immediate designs on you, or was asleep.
 Appropriations tota1ing 40,000 by the last territorial legislature, which reward each coyote or wolf killer with $20 per carcass, have dwindled down to approximately S15,O0O because of the thorough going interest Alaskan hunters have taken in garnering these twenties.
 Bounty Raised
 Four or five is the most any hunter has bagged in the past year, of which there is any proof in MT. Olson's office, but often ship mentes of Is wolves come in from some post trader at Fort Yukon or some other locality.
 here, but often shipments of h wolves come in from some post trader at Fort Yukon or some oth- CT locality.
 The bounty was formerly $15 apiece for wolves and coyotes. 1t three 3-month periods last year, ITS wolves and 513 coyotes were shot and their front leg bones turn ed in for bounties. Treasury office statisticians report that while some of these wolves whose identifica- tion marks were received last year did not qualify for the $20 bounty, which went into effect March IA last, a marked increase in the num- Der of trophies" received has been recorded.
 In other words, the boys further north figure the best way to keep the wolf from the door is to go out and snare him. But the girls in the Treasury office are a bit sour on the whole thing. For your infor- nation, the ulna and radius has a powerful aroma

ONE WORD BATTLE
Steward Gateway


 Four o'clock Sunday morning and the gavel falls, sounding finis to the Territorial Democratic convention for 1886.
 For nearly two hours a battle had ragged, and all because of a six-line amendment to Section III of the plat form, and an amendment of one word to the amendment.
 Section III renewed opposition to federal control of the fisheries of Alaska, which federal control has re- suited in a short season of highly intensive fishing and discrimination against Alaskan labor to the detri- ment of local fishermen, business men and the entire populationof AL aska." And went on to urge that the organic act be so amended as to pro- vide the Territory with legislative powers to administer the fishing in- dustry.
 Amendment to Amendment
 Came then the amendment. intro duced by Thos. M. Donahoe, young attorney of Cordova'
 ''We urge the elimination of the standing and floating fish traps in Alaskan waters to the end that 1aal- flied resident fishermen Of Alaska may be afforded the opportunity of securing a just return for their la bor expended as participants in the great industry that has been devel- oped from the natural fishing re- sources of the territory"
 The innocent sounding word grad ual" was introduced by M. E. Mona gle of Juneau, as an amendment to the amendment, qualifying the word, elimination" but instantly the ir- repressible H. McCutcheon was on his feet and he wanted to know co the minutest detail just what was intended to be conveyed by the word gradual. While it was only one word, one word brought on many others in the furry of talks that fol- lowed.
 Nip and Go
 It was nip and go with the argn- ments as also with the roll call vote that followed, by which the amend ment to the amendment was lost by the close margin of 40 to 36. Not so with the amendment itself, which

DIM0ND SENDS REPORT
 OF FISH TRAP HEARINGS

CContinued from Page One) mems organizations in Alaska, and others. Delegate Dimond made she opening statement and outlined the general purpose of the bill, namely for conservation of the salmon, and to eliminate the special privilege and the monopoly inherent in the owner ship and use of traps. The Al aska Seiners Association sent two representatives to Washington to testify iii support of this legislation, Jake Zeldenrust and Thomas Haa bury, of Ketchikan, Alaska, who pointed out to the Committee the need of the legislation. The wit nesses showed on a chart which they had prepared, the great number of salmon traps in southeastern Al aska, and pointed to regions which formerly contained salmon in large numbers, but in which the salmon had been practically all caught out through the use of the traps. They also explained to the Committee the unhappy condition of the seiners ill southeastern Alaska, who during the past season made very little from seining, probably on the average 70 more than $100 apiece. The Cor doya and Prince William Sound Fishermen and Cannery Workers' Union was represented by c. Chester Carlson, of Cordova, Alaska and Harry, Stuhr, of Seattle, Washing C11th iand, all of whom gave testimony in support of the bills.
 Resident Fishermen
 At the request of the represent atives of the Cordova and Prince William Sound fishermen and can nery workers, and with the full ap- proval of Messrs. Hanbury and Ieldenrust, the Delegate proposed an amendment to his bill with ref erence to the residence of seine fish CT in Alaska so as to provide that in the year 1887 at least 5O@o of the salmon taken by seiners in AL aska must be caught by residents of the territory, in the year 1888 at least 75 % of the salmon so taken must be caught by residents, and in 1889 and all succeeding years all of the salmon taken by seines in Alas ka waters must be caught by res idents of the territory, the term resident" being defined as in the Act establishing the Alaska Game Commission. This proposed amend ment was deemed necessary by the representatives of the fishermen's organizations in Alaska in order to meet the objection strongly urged by the packers that there were not enough resident seiners in Alaska to supply full packs for the canneries.
 Former Governor William Sulzer of New York also made statement to the Committee at his own request and urged the elimination of all traps.

to his mind - the pleading, tawny

"It's the first time we've had a
chance to serve our first client in big

we'll have record of accomplishment.
MIR. Welden will be delighted and it
will prove to your father that he made

hotels and restaurants. 1t will be only
a question of minutes -"
Father isn't here. Is there anything

Smiling softly. Josie went into the
living room and listened dreamily to
the radio. The shrill command of the
telephone brought her back to i'm

her father.

''He was shot," Tracy said.
She nodded.
Where did the gun come from?"
''It's mine. Someone must have
taken it from that dresser drawer"
mo one heard the shot?"
Apparently not"
We'll have to call the captain"
''Now?"
Right now"
Her hand released its grip on the
foot Of the bed and went to her throat.
I'm afraid I'm going to faint" she
said. "I'll step out into the breeze a
moment. You'd better telephone the
captain"
She left the cabin and went to the
rail. Tracy stepped to the telephone.
Captain Pollard will come at once"
he was told.
He heaved sigh of relief as he slid
the receiver back into position. He
glanced out through the open port
hole. The deck lights had been turned
off at midnight, and the deck showed
merely as a vague vista Of half illumi-
nation. Suddenly. as Tracy looked.
the lights blazed on, etching the deck
into white brilliance against the black
ocean.
That would be the result of his
message to the captain. Tracy thought.
and then stared incredulously. The
unexpected switching on of the lights
had caught Lynn Downey unaware.
She was facing the bow of the ship.
and in her hands she held a bit of note
paper some six inches long by four
inches wide. 1t was, Tracy saw. a
piece of ruled paper such as might
have been torn from loose-leaf note
book. and there were nine holes. three
groups of three holes each.
Lynn Downey's red-tipped fingers
closed about the paper. crumpled it
into ball and pushed it down the
front of her low-cut dress.
At that moment Tracy heard the
slib-slop. siib-siob of the captains
slippered feet.

Jefferson Davis Pope called for long

to the back of the store.
"Your call, MIR. Welden," he said,
with calm triumph.
Still mopping his face with crim-
son towel, the scowling steel nsGgN0ts
trotted forward. Josie looked con-
fidently into young Mr.. Pope's face
and smiled.

service he gets from Tend Your Busi-

proudly. His testimonial ought to be
worth its weight in gold"

came into the Office Monday morning,
praising the initiative and enterprise
of jefferson Davis Pope.
The telephone shrilled again.
Listen Josie, is your fathers car
at home? Could you pick me up right
away? You see we've located Welden.
He's out on the golf course at Coon
Hollow. They offered to give him a
message when he came in but want
to go right out there and -"
Don't waste time talking" said
Josie crisply. Meet you in ten min
utes at Tenth and Burns"
The rush of air felt good. 1t matched
their mood. Josie pulled the wheel
around and the coupe shot from the
concrete to the darker macadam of
the county road.

the company. For - for emergencies
like this"
You're wonderful" Jefferson Davis
Pope shouted.
Josie had an idea. She twisted her
head and lifted her small chin.
kiss me-" she said.
They shot past the string of white
houses which went to make up the I'M
incorporated town of Orton, crossed
the concrete bridge over Grand River
and started up the long, steep hill be-
yond.
The entrance is just to the right
after you pass the top of the HILL"
Jefferson Davis Pope told her. Going
to have storm"
As Josie swung the front wheels into
the gravel fash of light streaked
across the windshield, followed by a
loud rumble.
Another break" Josie called over
the sudden rush of water against the
glass. The old coot'll be heading for
the club house right now. Save your
chasing all over the course. Cheers?'
The coupe slithered up to the main
portal just as the white columns were
blotted out by binding flash of
lightning. That was Close" Jefferson
Davis Pope said, as he grasped the
door handle. Il won't be long. If he's
in, Ill get the call right through"
Success Josie cried after him.
Gray sheets of water were still
sweeping the wide lawn when the
front door opened, ten minutes later,
and jefferson Davis Pope emerged in
the wake of stout, red-faced man
who was still struggling into yellow
raincoat. Josie swung the door of the
car open.
Telephones out of order here!
Jeff shouted. well try Orton. Get in
Mr.. Welden.'
It was evident to Josie that the
red-faced man was delicately balanced
at the moment between a reluctance
to leave his dry surroundings and an
uneasy fear of the reason for his leav-
ing.
"You don't have to let me down
easy. young man." he bawled above
the noise of the storm. ''Is - is it my
wife?''
jefferson Davis Pope shook his head.
Long distance. Very important"
MIR. Welden hesitated. He scowled
and looked backward. Josie said the
only thing she could think of at the
moment.
ITS a matter of life and DEATH"
The old gentleman reacted directly.
He paled and stepped forward. Life
and DEATH" he stammered.
jefferson Davis Pope had been dis
turbed by Josie's well-intentioned
words. He tried to correct the list to
the urgency side. important. Oper-
