 Differences between fishermen and opera tors were settled amicaby. The canneries opened up as usual providing employment to large number of Aaska's inhabitants. Allied industries became active, also, including the trap wire factories, lumber mills and supply houses. Of course all this activity would have been wasted if the fish had failed to come.
 When the Daily Alaska Empire published it's progress and development" edition on July 3l prospects for big fish year in the terri tory were bright.

Maybe the Japanese in vasion" was not as serious reported This pack means $l0000,000 or more, not an incon- siderable sum anywhere, although it is grati- fyingly large in Alaska Officials estimate that the total pack for Alaska this year will be some 6000000 or 100000 cases

IAN ALASKAN FISH STORY"

The story of Alaska s vast salmon industry spread around the nation Down in Beaumont, Texas wher oil is the No. l business the Beaumont Enterpris rises to note that $1O0OO0O0 fish harvest is Brstc Bay is not an inconsiderable sum anywhere" and after glancing The Empires recent Progress and Development edition, the Enterprise comment as follows on An Alaskan Fish Story:
 The 1887 salmon season opened in Alaska under conditions that were not overly bright" Last year Nearly 100000 worth of fish and fish products were shipped from the Territory of Alaska major portion of it attribut- able to the fact that Alaska packed last sea- son 100000 cases of salmon, the largest yield thus far to be taken from Alaskan waters in a single season.
 Alaskas fishermen and other persons who make livelihood from the territorys Mum Der industry" wondered if 1897 would be good fish year. The Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau says there some trouble over wages; it was backward season and in some places the runs were late. Some uneaSiness was caused by reported Japanese invasion" too.
 But the dark clouds rolled away The fish would not let Alaska down. They never have it seems and if man will just use about half the intelligence in dealing with the Alaskan fish industry that some of his insect rivals

A good anti-freeze mixture should
have a boiling point near that of
pure water and it should have a
high heat conductivity 1t should
not freeze during it's useful life, it
should not be injurious to engine,

it should be Inexpensive.
There are a number of CONNER

market ranging in price from about
81 gallon on up, which will give
satisfactory service if the manu-
facturer's directions are followed in
using them.
Homemade mixtures do not al

sometimes used, but it is rather
hard on hose connections and it
presents a real fire hazard in the
event of a cracked block or loose
hose connection. Alcohol has. a low

EDITORIAL

Once, so the story goes, there
was a very wise and gifted man
with great insight into human af-
fairs. Men and women came to him
from far-off places to get the bene-
fit of his kindly but penetrating
Judgment. And none, so it is told,
ever went away without being given
the light needed for his circum-
stances. Among the many who came
to him was a man who asked this
question:
"What shall / do to enlarge my
possessions and to gain me the
most satisfaction from them?"
Quite simply and promptly the
answer came:
"Be thankful"
The wise man perhaps lived en-
tirely in legend but his answer is
eternal truth. For it is only through
a spirit of thankfulness that true
perspective of values is ever pos
sible. And strangely, as one opens
his mind and heaft 10 Caat SplrlC
the things to be thankful for grow
in worth and number. That was
the miracle of the first Thanksgiv-
ing. The original thought of the
Pilgrims was to set aside day for
fasting and lamentation over their
hardships But more thoughtful
member of the little band suggested
that it would be better to take
stock of their lot and to render
thanks to the Lord for ouch bless
ings as they might find. The whole
spirit of the colonists and of the
occasion was transformed. And the
observance of that day has come
down to us as one of our great ma
tional heritages.

stumbling pursuit of happiness
mankind has found little that was

IT'S almost unbelievable but it is
true that many amateur snap
shooters have the notion that it is
only the unusual that is worthwhile
swapping. When they travel, a
camera is taken along to get pic
lures of new scenes and new faces
but they use it around their homes
only on special occasions.
But" you may say, 1--WE already
made good snaps around the house.
What else is there to shoot?"
Nobody can answer that question
for you directly. But it's dollars to
doughnuts that there are dozens of
untouched picture possibilities. And
all of them interesting as the ones
already in your album.
The secret of finding them is sim.
ply a matter of keeping your eyes
open. Get the habit of looking at
things -everything7-as though you
had never seen them before. It's
