HOUSE DISCUSSION
 AIRS DANCERS 10
 HERRING INDUSTRY
Fisherman Says Bui One School of LiffIe Fish Sill
 Infaef, Sifka

When the House Of Represent a. i tives acted favorably Monday cn Representative Coffey's memorial in support of Delegate Dimonds bill in Congress to save Alaskan herring ! fisheries, and interesting story was developed in testimony of fishermen on the floor
 Delegate Dimond's bill would pro- hibit fishing for herring in South east Alaska, except for purposes of curing for food or preserving for bait.
 John Kayser, union lobbyist fish erman from Ketchikan. said This is something we have been praying for" and went on to give stark picture of a great resource danger ously near the extinction point in the Panhandle waters of Alaska.
 How Industry Started
 Kayser said the herring industry received it's conception in Killisnoo in 1882 and then centared in the Petersburg area around 1900, many plants packing large quantities of cured food herring. but as the pack ing increased and the herring sup ply began to thin. boats moved farther and farther away to get cargoes.
 By 1915, Kayser. said, the effect of heavy fishing began to be seri- ous, and in 1918. the Bureau of Fish cries complained of the waste in the industry brought on by the death of millions of small herring en- meshed with older fish, but useless as food for the packers
 The Bureau of Fisheries recom- mended these smaller fish be util- ized for fertilizer and meal and as packers developed this phase of the industry, they began to learn that fertilizer and meal reduction of herring was more profitable than curing for food
 Fertilizer, Meal
 By 1927, according to Kayser, the trend began definitely towards fer tilizer and meal, with 90 seine boats operating in the Southeast Alaska area.
 The fisheries couldn't stand it. Kayser said, adding that since then, herring have been on the way out. " Kayser said 1888 herring pack fig ures were only half of those in 1897, with the same number of boats and packers working" and that in 1888, mot a pound of herring was put up for food purposes
 Is Now Dangerous
 Representative A. P. Walker, troller from Craig, said any contin- uance of herring fishing in South east Alaska lis dangerous, and that herring represent the base food fol salmon and other fish, and with nc

Christian Science Talk
Given in Fourth Church

A lecture on christian Science
The Open Door to the Infinite" was
delivered last night by William
Duncan fitzpatrick, c. S. B., Of De-
troit, Mich, in Fourth Church edi-
flee, Sixteenth and Oak streets
NV, under the auspices of that
church. The lecturer, who is a
member of the Board of Lectureship
of the Mother Church, the First
Church of Christ Scientist in Boston
Mass, was introduced by DR.. L. v. B
Marschalk, first reader of Fourth
Church.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said in part:
Most people today. if they are
inclined to give thought to the
subject at all, agree that correct
concept Of God and of man cannot
be gained through the medium OF
the five physical senses God, as is
generally admitted, cannot be COM
pretended nor approached through
the processes by which or through
which we apprehend and Judge the
physical universe, including physical
man.
I'm other words, God, obviously
cannot be seen or known materially,
for does not st John tell us that no
man hath seen God at any time?
which, being the case, naturally en-
forces the logical conclusion that
man in the image and likeness of
God cannot be cognized through the
medium Of the physical senses.
THE revelations of Holy Writ
impel the conviction that the man
of Gods creating is an exact and
changeless reflection or expression
Of God.
Some may be willing to admit the
spiritual and incorpereal nature OF
God, but spiritual vision has not yet
furnished them with the concept OF
man in Gods image and likeness az
purely spiritual and without physi-
cal and material accompaniments.
+ y + X
obviously, God did not create
man to become the object of a ma
terially chaotic universe.
X
"And here is where Christian Sci
ense steps into the breach, and
through its Christianly scientific ex-
PLANTATION of God and man gives
mortals the true concept Of them
selves in Gods image and likeness,
and the true vision of God as ON
nipotent and ever-present good,
freeing men from the bondage Of
those influences which have ever
beset the path of mankind, and
offering q full salvation from sin,
sickness, poverty and inharmony."

Weasels are not members Of the
famous Seven Sleepers Club. They
are abroad all winter, dressed in
their lovely ermine coats, caring
neither for the snow nor for the
cold, searching winds.
During the summer they are
clothed in a fur coat that is a yell
lowish- brown, somewhat darker on
the crown and center back and q
lighter shade on the legs. The chin.
throat and lips are pure white. The
tail is buffy yellow, tipped for
one-quarter of its length in black.
During the winter the weasel will
be q pure white with the exception
Of his whiskers and tail tip.
It has always been a mystery how
one weasel could make so many
tracks In the snow. Those inter-
ested in this fact have gone to the
trouble of ascertaining the truth
about the matter and found the
constant moving about and retract-
ing was the record of a restless
hunter of the night.
The home nest is a snug affair,
usually so well hidden by low-grow-
ing shrubbery that you are not
aware of it, and the opening is so
inconspicuously placed that it es-
capes attention of inquisitive foes
who also may establish a winter
residence in a burrow beneath q
tree.
All weasels are flesh eaters and
where poultry yard is close by the
weasel is a regular visitor, unless
the owner takes immediate steps to
catch the thief. Ground squirrels,
birds and small animals otherwise
are hunted with success.
