ELIMINATION OF FISH TRAPS
 DETRIMENTAL
Gov. Martin, of Washing ton, Sets Forth Facts
 Interesting to Alaskans

Gov. Clarence D. Martins inau- gural address, given at Olympia, Washington, and received recently in Juneau, reveals, among other things, the detrimental results of the elimination of fish traps in Washington State-a matter of par ticular interest to Alaskans.
 In his address Gov. Martin said:
 T direct your attention to an alarming and costly trend in one of our major natural resources and industries-the commercial fisher ies industry on Puget Sound and the Columbia River. It now is ob- vious that Initiative IT, which was adopted by the people two years ago, is not working out as well as had been promised. Since this law became effective, our neigh bors, Oregon and British Columbia, are taking more and more of the salmon, while Washington's share is decreasing. This is especially disappointing because, while our neighbors are taking the bulk of the fish, we are spending much more money. effort and time for the rehabilitation and conservation of the salmon run.
 Some Figures
 Just few figures reveal graph ically that the trend is detrimental to Washington.
 Tn 1892, Washington packed 81,- 900 cases of sockeye salmon, val ued at $975 900. British Columbia packed 65,000 cases, valued at $780, 900.
 Tn 1886, Washington packed 43,- 900 cases, valued at s515,00O. Brit ish Columbia packed 180,000 cases valued at $2,160000.
 "On the Columbia River in 1882 Washington took 100000 pounds of Chinook salmon. Oregon took 8,500,0OO pounds.
 Tn 1896, Washington took B. 100000 pounds. Oregon took H. 100000 pounds.

ATTEMPT FOR ABDUCTION
 TWO CHILDREN
Traveller on Bus Reveals SchemeReport Made

EXTRA GUARDS ARE
 RUSHED TO NURSERY
May Be Only a Hoax But Provincial Police Talk
 ing No Chances

TORONTO, Feb. 13. - A wide- spread search has been ordered throughout Ontario to thwart re- ported plot to kidnap at least two of the Dionne quintuplets.
 Extra guards have been sent to the nursery of the famous quints.
 Attorney General Arthur Roebuck has ordered an investigation of the stocy given by an unnamed bus tra- veler who heard two foreign lock- ing men plotting the abduction.
 The traveller said one of the for eigners said:
 We will knock them off. Every thing has been arranged"
 In Hands of Police
 Provincial Premier Michael Hep- burn said: "The case is in the hands of the Provincial Police and they are quite capable of looking after the quints."
 Both the Police and Roebuck are inclined to think the tale hoax but they are taking no chances and extra guards have been ordered to the nursery to walk the beat about the five foot steel fence which guard the quints. Second Scare
 This is the second kidnap scare in less than two years. In March, l9s5, a kidnap plan was reported and one or more of the quints were to be spirited away in an airplane. The quints will be three years old on May 28.

SENATE FAILS TO ENDORSE DIMOND BOND DEBT PLAN
Support for Delegates Bill in Congress Is Turned
 Down by Vote of 4-3

By a vote of four to three with one absent, the Territorial Senate this morning killed the Rivers res olution which would have approved the Dimond bill in Congress to au- thoriZe the Territory to issue up to two million dollars in bonds for public works in Alaska. Senators Cochran, Roden, Powers and Pat tersoii voted against the resolution Rivers Brunelle and Walker sup porting it with Senator John De- vine absent due to illness.
 Senator Cochran of the Second Division opened the attack on the proposal with the assertion that he believed no bond issue should be considered without a vote of the people of Alaska No members of the Legislature mentioned in their platforms, the Senator said, there fore, le declared, there had been no expression of the voters which he believed should first be obtained.
 "Uptil the people of this Terri tory tell the Legislature they ap- prove such an action, we are not u h crized to consider issuing bonds" he stated.
 Tie Senator from the Second charged that million dollars of the money proposed to raise under the bond issue was planned to go to the University of Alaska. He said he was not opposed to developing the University but was opposed to granting it more than what seemed to him just share at this time. He cited the opposition of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce to the bonded indebtedness proposal and a sharp response from Senator Riv- CTS of the Fourth, author of the resolution who was defending the measure.
 ''As far as the attitude of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is concerned" declared Senator Riv- CTS, it has said no to every bit of constructive legislation that has come before this body since the session began. It represents a few special interests which have con- trolled it for years" He then point ed out as had Senator Cochran, that the Fairbanks Chamber en- dossed the plan, but while Senator Rivers held the Fairbanks expres- sion as an expression of the people of that district, Senator Cochran had interpreted the expression as a sentiment for the University which is located in that city.
 The Senator from the Fourth stoutly denied that one million dol lars of the issue would go to the University for five-point program He declared the sum would go, pri- marty into expanding airfield and road programs in the Territory, and pointed out that it was purely an enabling act.

REPUBLICANS PAY TRIBUTE TO
 GREAT LINCOLN
Large Number at Dinner to Honor Memory of Mar
 tyred President

In fitting tribute to that great American, Abraham Lincoln, who has become the patron saint of the Republican party and the cher ished figure of all Americans, Cas- tineau Channel Republicans, nearly 70 strong, gathered last evening in the Lutheran Church at dinner arranged in memory of his birthday anniversary. A fine group of true Alaskans and sound Americans, they filled the dining room audi torium of the edifice virtually to capacity and heard appropriate eu- logies to the 18th President of the United States, and the first mem Der of their party to hold that high office.
 Howard Stabler, well known Ju- neau attorney and Republican Di- visional Committeeman, delivered an inspiring Lincoln Day address, stressing the qualities which made the Great Emancipator an immor- tai in American history.
 MT. Stabler said in part:
 A Great American
 We meet here tonight to pay an affectionate tribute to the mem ory of Abraham Lincoln, a great American; man who rose from humble surroundings to become the sixteenth president of the United States; the man of whom one biog- rapher said. Abraham Lincoln has been the subject of more varied discussion than has been expended upon any other historical charac- ter save, perhaps, Napoleon
 Abraham Lincoln was elected to the American Hall of fame in 1900. People have often called him the greatest man who ever lived; but, in fact, he is not properly to be com- pared with any other. Let us take him simply as Abraham Lincoln, singular and solitary, and be thank full if we can make a place big enough for him among the worlds heroes; and there let him remain forever, lonely, in his strange life-
