CLAM PRODUCTION
 SHOWS INCREASE

owing to the resumption of oper- ations at Kukak Bay, the prouction of claims in Alaska increased over that of the preceding year, not withstanding decline in the Prince William Sound area, where the fall pack was curtailed because of un- favorable market conditions Of the total output about 65 percent came from the vicinity of Cordova, 27 per- cent from the Kodiak area, and 4 percent each from Cook Inlet and Southeast Alaska.
 The number of persons engaged in the industry was AS, as compared with 342 in 1884. Products con- sisted of 34,l09 cases. or 887,502 pounds of canned clans (of which 857,742 pounds were razor clams), and 150 cases of clam juice, having a total value of $197,581. This is an increase of about IA percent in quantity and percent in value over the production in 1884, when 782> 288 pounds of clam products were prepared, valued at $188,666.
 
 The Pacific American Fisheries salmon hatchery at Hugh Smith Lake was the only fish cultural es- tablishment operated in Alaska dur ing the year. This hatchery collect ed 34,383,000 red-salmon eggs in 1885, from which 32,531 ,0O0 fry were produced and liberated in Alaska waters.

Alaska Line to ImproveService to Territor,

veloped rapidly, providing a great saving of time for transportation of passengers between centers of population, and serving numerous places remote from regular lines of transportation. Planes are being used extensively to move personnel and supplies to mines and to trans port prospectors and their outfits into heretofore practially inacces- sible places.
 Development of planes and air transportation companies has great ly exceeded development of proper landing fields. Beginning in 1923, transportation by air has grown to be an important factor in the de- velopment of the Territory as indi- cated by the following figures:
 Fiscal Fiscal
 Yr. 1895 Yr. 1886 Planes in service. 73 79 Plane miles ..........1 ,685,6 2,130, ,929 Passengers ............ 13,318 16,982 Passenger miles. 2,148,692 3,035,0l8 Freight ..................1, ,496,917 2.l38,886 Mail .....................- 225,840 279,73O
 With the exception of $96,000 of Federal funds allotted by P. w. A., all airfields in Alaska have been constructed with funds provided by Territorial appropriations and To- cal contributions.
 AirfieIds
 At present there are 83 so-called airfields which can be used. Only two of these have runways over 5000 feet, five have runways be- tween 2,00O and 5000 feet, g have runways between 1,500 and 2,000 feet and 53 have runways less than 1,500 feet in length.
 These fields have not been To- cated on natural routes, but have been constructed at points where needed, in order to move passengers and freight from some central point to various isolated localities. Less than a half dozen fields have been constructed solely for emergency landings. With the possible future development of air transportation in mind, a program has been pre- pared to provide adequate landing facilities for planes in Alaska. Briefly this program provides for the construction or improvement of 145 airfields and construction of g landing floats for pontoon equipment. The land fields are classed as nine Terminal, nine in- termediate, 65 Emergency and 62 local. The latter designation ap- plies to those fields not on desig- mated air routes but necessary to serve small villages and mining op- erations. Six principal air routes have been designated and the plan provides for landing facilities at in tervals of 50 miles, or less. These

"BUSINESS AND LABOR"

Roger Louis Stevenson said that we live not by

was increased by nightfall until
at one time there were fully A.

The principal attraction during
the afternoon was the GROWING

Queen of Key West. This was done
with Miss Bethancourt wearing a
beautiful gown and three young
ladies representing Club MART,
Agramonte Castle and the Cuban
Club, acting as maids of honor.

new YORK AQUARIUM OBTAINS
FINE COLLECTION OF FISH
SPECIMENS FROM KEY WEST


Fifteen hundred giant starfish,
rainbow parrot fish, pudding wives,
spiny Holsters, octopi, sea anem-
ones and a long list of other ma
rine curiosities, comprising the
largest shipment of fish and inver-
terbrates to arrive at the New York
Aquarium, came in last night
abroad the Mallory line freighter
Henry r. Mallory from Key West,
Fla. The entire staff of the Aqua
rum worked until after midnight
transporting the specimens from
the ship to their new home at the
Battery.
The hundreds of weird creatures
were collected by Hamilton C.
Knowles, tank man in charge of
the Aquarium's salt water collec-
tions. After a preliminary checkup
of the various tanks. Charles II.
BREEDER, Jr.. assistant director of
the institution. said the collection
was fine one.
Outstanding among the inverte-
brates were dozen diodema. or
black sea urchins. These creatures,
the first Of their kind to be ex-
hibited at the aquarium. were like
round pincushions studded with
long. dark pins. These brietloe orc
extreme brittle and causn severe
pain when any one attemrted to
handle the urchins. Among other
unusual specimens were thirty
large rainbow parrot fish and a
giant Nassau grouper, which was
six feet long and weighed about
$50 pounds. There were about
thirty different kinds of inverte.
brates.
Queen Angel Fish
In the shipment were dwarf
squirrel, queen angel fish. beche

an jets of air into each tank.
Cargo booms hoisted the tanks
onto five big trucks. Three or
four attendants boarded each
truck. Each man was equipped
with a large dipper with which he
stirred the water to keep it aerat-
ed on the way to the Aquarium.
At the Battery all hands turned
to unload the finny cargo. Even
DR.. Ross Nigrelli, the Institutions
parasitOlogist, stripped off his
shirt and dashed about with nets
full of fish. One man stood be-
side the tank on each truck and
dipped up the fish in a net. An
other ran with them into the
building where another passed
them up to other attendants on
top of the big tanks. They grabbed
the nets and hurried along cat
walks to dump the creatures into
the proper exhibition tanks.
'Netful of Puddingwives'
Far into the night the Aquarium
was a beehive of men running
about with fish. The building rang
with such shouts as "Netful of
puddingwives; where'll put
'em?", "Giant starfish coming
up" "Parrot fish for the fourth
tank on your left" and "Spiny
Holsters fresh from Florida"
When it came to the big group
er it was a different matter. While
it was still in the tank on the
truck, five men fitted a canvas
straight-jac about the big fish.
Then six men hoisted it out and
logged it into the building. With
much stTaining and grunting they
lifted it to the edge of one of the
big floor tanks. The jacket was
unlaced and the 250-pound
grouper flopped into the tank. 1t
swan to the bottom and remained
still for long period, cycling its
new Surroundings.
The fish were caught off Key
West by Knowles and hired fish
ermen who took them in nets or
caught them on handlines.
