tBy F. c. Hanford)

Much has been said in the past fifteen years about the dredging of Wrar gelI Harbor. During last year this became a reality at a cost oi forty-two thousand dollars. There were two bids submitted for this work. one by the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company and the other by the General Construc- ton Company. The writer has never been able to find out who this com pany really is. The money appropri- ated for this work has been spent the dredge is gone and what have we to show for the forty-two thous- and dollars?
 This year to date the Wrangell City Council has spent $1,557.62 on floats and driving pile, $422.19 of this money was spent for piling, $ Sl . 116.29 to the Wrangell Packing Company, F. S. Barnes, president, for driving these piling. This makes a total of $43,557.62 spent in one year on harbor and floats and still we have no harbOr for small boats
 Recently the inner harbor back of Shakes Island has been surveyed and estimates given on the cost of a proposed small boat harbOr. The estimated yardage to be removed is 15 5,000 cubic yards, making depth of seven feet at all times. The estimated cost for removing this is 5 $5,0O0.
 We now have one hundred and twenty boats both large and small

Richie Tells of Arrival
 North Wind in Hawaii

John Richie, writing recently from Hawaii to a Wrangell friend said that he was in Honolulu when the North Wind, former freighter in the southeast Alaska service of the Northland Transportation Com pany, was held in that port by union pickets.
 The freighter, chartered by Pan American Airways for survey work in the Pacific in connection with tt5 proposed aerial route to Australia. became the eleventh vessel to be struck in Hawaii after the start of the maritime strike.
 Carrying a crew of 3S and command ed by Capt A. J. Borkland, the North Wind, en route to San Fran cisco, was forced to put into Homo lulu due to a shortage of fuel and water. She was also slightly crip- pied because of a leaky boiler sus- tained in a buffeting 5O-mile gale encountered several days previously.
 The freighter docked at Pier ( al 1 D. m. Shortly afterward, union pickets, bearing their familiar pla cards, began pacing to and fro in front of the pier Crew members be gan leaving the ship shortly before D. m. taking their dunnage with them.
 How long will the North Wind be here?" a reporter asked one of the seamen.
 "As long as the other ships are came the reply We're union men"
 Capt Borkland, although he fear ed a strike, was not officially noti- fled of the mems intentions.
 Late that night only Capt. Bork- land, other licensed personnel and the radio operators were left aboard Which meant incidentally, that all had to eat their breakfast ashore as we'll as following meals.
 The North Wind steamed from San Francisco October g, under or ders from Pan American to proceed to Kingman's Reef, Guam, Rake and Midway. The ship refueled at Guam and had steamed 1869 miles since that time which accounted for the fuel and water shortage.
 With the North Wind in port. Honolulu had approximately $40 striking and stranded seamen in the city.

Anchorage Woman
 Gets $500 In Suit

Mrs Anna McMahill was awarded $500 damages when a federal dis trict court jury returned a verdict awarding her $500 for loss of earn ing capacity and $500 for pain, an- guish and mental suffering" as a re- suit of a fall sustained May IA, 1886, on a city sidewalk. Mrs. Me Mahill sought $10, 1000, of which $9,- OOO was for loss of earning capacity and $1.O0O for mental suffering. pain and anguish.
 Counsel for Mrs. Me Mahill had Anchorage taxpayers excluded from the jury on the grounds that they were interested parties because if judgment were won against the city the taxpayers must pay it.
 Mrs Me Mahill told the jury she sustained a black eye, seriously bruised shoulder and knee and back injury. Alex Liska, chiropractor said certain nerves leading to the plaintiffs arm and foot are dead and that it was hard to tell if the injury is permanent.
 Dr. A. s. Walkewski testified that he attended Mrs. McMahill soon af- ter her fall; he recommended x-ray examination but that she refused He gave as his opinion that her in juries were superficial from the in- complete examination he had been allowed to make.
 "Prior to the opening of the city's ctd nF n d appeared in behalf of Mrs. Me Mahil and substantiated her claims that the fall was due to a defect in the sidewalk.
 Knocked Unconscious
 Vending said he was walking with Mrs. McMahill at the time ol the accident. She tripped and fell he said. She was knocked uncon scious and he sought a doctor.
 Vending said his ankle wal twisted slightly when the plank or which Mrs. McMahill tI1pped flew out of place and landed cross-wis' on the sidewalk.
 Judge Simon Hellenthal when in structing the jury said that the cit! must have notice of a defect in { sidewalk before it can be held liabl for injuries caused by the defect.
 The judge said this notice may b. actually given to some official, O it may be implied from previous ex istence of such defect for such length of time that the city shoul, have discovered it by exercise o ordinary" diligence, in time t have repaired it before the plaintiff sustained her fall.

Salmon Will Provide
 By-PrOduCt Industry

 That the salmon fisheries of Al- aska will provide one of our most V ua bl e by-product industries, when certain economic haudicaps now interfering with this develop ment are overcome, is pointed out in the January issue of Pacific Fisherman by Roger w. Harrison and Andrew w. Anderson, technol- ogists of the U s. Bureau of Fish cries.
 The authors point out that a large amount of waste material heads, tails and viscera, is annually d S c a d by the salmon can neries since the material is not suitable for food consumption. Loss of weight in preparing the fish for canning, as determined from meas urements in the Kodiak Island region, amounted to 30.6 percent on Sockeyes, 22 percent on Kings, 32 percent on Chums, 38.2 percent on Pinks, and 33 percent on Cohoes. While this material is unsuited for use as food for human consump- tion, it is rich in the same oil and vitamin values found in the more palatable portions of the salmon, it is stated.
 Difficulties which have prevent ed commercial development of uses 1, for this waste material are said to be chiefly the relatively short sea son for operation, and the large a D a c t y operations required to handle the material when it is avail able. In the past the value of the material recovered has not been sufficient to meet the cost of main taining a reduction plant for the short period of operation each year.
 The authors of the Pacific Fish erman article believe this difficulty may be overcome by the develop ment of manufactured products hav- ing greater value and to preserve the waste by some means so that it could be converted into meal and oil at the convenience of plants work ing the greater part of the year.
 While in the past, salmon waste materiol has been converted chiefly into meal and oils used for technical purposes, greater value for the oils may be obtained by preparing them for human consumption.
 Other studies by the authors in dicate considerable usefulness for this waste material as poultry and animal feed, and for the develop ment of vitamin oils for therapeutic use by human beings.
 Especially interesting use for this waste material is indicated in stud ies carried on using specially pre- pared salmon meal as food for young fish. The use of properly prepared salmon meals, replacing the rather expensive materials gen orally used in fish feeding, Is said to result in greater saving than a corresponding substitution of sal mon meal in the usual diet of farm animals
 This article also calls attention to the recent work done on the use of an extract. of salmon milt in the treatment of diabetes. This 'protomin" extract reduces the shock resulting from the injection of insulin. It is also pointed out that other pharmaceutical extracts may be developed as a result oi further work with these by-products of salmon canning.

NOTES FOR LIQUOR HELD
 INVALID BY HELLENTHAI

Promissory notes given in pay ment for liquor during prohibition days are invalid, Judge Simon Hel- lenthal ruled recently in district court in Anchorage in the case of J. J. McIsaacs vs. Gust Envall.
 MacIsaacs sought payment from Envall for nine promissory notes to- taling $576, EnvalI contended the notes were given in payment for liquor and were therefore not legal
 Judge Hellenthal ruled against eight of the notes, totaling $40O. pointing out that to declare the notes valid would be to uphold an illegal contract The notes were made during prohibition.
 The remaining note for $176, is- sued February 10, 1892. was sub mitted to a jury after Mir. McIsaac contended it was not in payment for illicit liquor. The jury ruled against him after an hours deliberation.
 McIsaacs contended the note for SIC was in payment for room rent damage to room and perhaps other causes, but not liquor. Enyall con- tended it was in payment for room rent but also for illicit liquor.
 the jury were that the city is not an insurer against injuries sustain ed on it's streets and sidewalks, and that it is required to keep it's side walks in reasonably" safe and serviceable condition.
 No Notice Given
 That the city of Anchorage was not negligent In the care of it's side walks and received no notice of a defect in the sidewalk in question and that the city is not insured against injuries were points brought out by Karl Drager city attorney as he closed the city's defense.
 MT Drager said the instructions of the court would bear out points of his contention concerning the law on the matter. He claimed that 1 Q prove the city was negligent, the plaintiff must prove that the city had notice of a defect and that it failed to make repairs. He contended this had not been done.
 The city claimed the petition pre- scented by property owners for a new sidewalk was not a notice that the old one was defective and dangerous and that nothing had been said in | the petition to this effect. He point ed out that the property-owners un- doubtedly wanted a cement sidewalk in line with the general progress ] the city is experiencing.
