sons why the fish is so little

and bony for human consump-
ton.
FISH GETS AROUND
Yet writes Roy: More people
come into contact with menhaden
in some form than with any 9TH

in the industry last year are a
mere handful compared with the
number who use menhaden oil and

FISHWHEEL STRIKE
 < FOLDS UP. WINTER

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. 1-tR Whatever became of the Fish wheel gold strike?
 Rowling Arctic winds and sub zero temperatures have the answer to that question clutched closely to their frigid bosoms.
 Oldtimers Sam Gamble and Ed Farrell, who held hopes of a gen. uine strike" up until last week, have returned to Fairbanks.
 They declare wryly that nothing can be determined until spring, but prospects look pretty bleak"
 Drilling operations recently stop red at 50 feet when warm Chinook winds thawed the Yukon river ice and backed water over the drill holes.
 The strike started back in Octo- Der when Clifton Carroll reported finding a few nuggets attached to the muck on the axle of his fish wheel some 30 miles south of Fort Yukon.

ABOUT TAKING ALASKA'S CENSUS

There has been considerable comment regarding the taking of the in Alaska, moving the date from April to February.
 In this regard, the Anchorage Times prints the following editorial:
 Federal and Territorial officials hit foul ball when they at Juneau recently and set the date for starting the 1850 census of Alaska After delibera- tons and consultations they came up with the date of February l.
 They could hardly have selected any date more contrary to the best interests of the people and the Territory of Alaska The decision bids well to yield detrimental results which will plague Alaska for the next 10 years
 "February is the month when the Alaska popula- tion is at it's lowest ebb.
 Tt is the month when those who travel Tn the States for personal business reasons, are absent from the Territory.

Smart Politician

When Harry Truman became Pre- sident of the United States he scarcely knew the young man who today enters his Cabinet. Probably the first time he came to appre- ciate him was when Harold Ickes resigned and Chapman accomplish cd the miracle of keeping all Inter- for Department executives from re- signing in protest with their old chief.
 Later, Truman came to know Chapman even better when his whistle-stop campaign in the sum- mer of l948 got off to a miserable start. At Omaha, Truman spoke to half-empty house. Crowds along the way greeted him with less than lukeWarm enthusiasm.
 Suddenly Oscar Chapmon was rushed to his home town. Denver, then on through the far west ahead of the Presidents train.
 Chapman knew the west. Thanks to this knowledge and his pollt- ical sagacity, the Presidential trif which started like a funeral dirge ended like a bandwagon. Playing his part backstage, as usual, Oscar had quite a bit to do with the pol itical miracle that confounded the pollsters in November l948.

Bull Moose Bosses

It may show a trend of the times that the three men Oscar Chapman worked for most of his life have all been Teddy Roosevelt Bull Mcosers. And of recent years these Progressive Republicans have been among the pillars of the Democratic Party
 The three men are Judge Lind say, Sen. Ed Costigan of Colorado and Harold Ickes. The latter two were delegates at the Republican Convention which nominated Taft in 1912. They walked out in protest and later drafted Teddy Roosevelt.
 It was through Senator Ed Cosl- gan that Chapman happened to meet FDR and enter the new deal. Chapman had managed Costigan's campaign for the Senate in Col orado in 1930, and despite the fact that Costigan was bull-mooser, Chapman elected him on the Demo- cratic ticket Later Costigan visited Franklin Roosevelt, then Governor of New York, and took Chapman along. They talked about conserva- tion.
 We must keep young men like this in government" Roosevelt said, referring to Costigan's assistant and also having in mind the proDa- bility that he, Roosevelt, would be the next President of the United States
 After his election, FDR did not forget. He notified Costigan that "a man named lckes from Chicago" would be the new Secretary of the Interior; and that marked the be- ginning of the hookup between Ickes and Chapman-a hookup that has continued to this day.

 "February is the month when the Alaskan economy is at the lowest point of it's annual cycle It is the most unfair month to for takers to pile records which supposed to reflect the true population and economic facts about life in Alaska. i "The selection of February for the census should bring immediate reactions from every resident who is interested in facts and the proper development of Alaska.
 Government agencies should be concerned inas- much their program in Alaska will be judged at the nations capital the basis of the population served Congress will gauge the importance of appropriations the basis of the census.
 The 1850 population figure will be used in de- ltermning the advisabity in projects such road building community facilities, health and welfare programs law enforcement requirements, statehood, transportation and postal services
 "The military establishment will look to the cen- ss for an accurate picture of the civilian economy upon which so much dependence is placed for certain services and facilities.

 Ut is difficult to understand how officials could select the most undesirable date to compile such important information.
 "'There must be why February was designated Whatever they they are overshadowed bv the tremendous importance of having an accurate reflection of the population count and of the economic activity that is part of Alaska throughout the pro- ductive months of the year Perhaps the officials chose the month when 1t is most convenient to the Territorial school teachers

given him credit for the many things he has accomplished. Chap man. for instance, has been push ing the production of synthetic oil and gasoline. working behind-the- scenes with Ger. Joe OMahoney of Wyoming.
 It was Chapman who months before the oil crisis in the winter of l947-48 warned the industry that they faced a shortage. Later, the big oil companies were actually running advertisements urging con- sumers to use less oil.
 Early in the new deal it was also Chapman who led the fight against child labor in the beet-sugar fields. As a boy he had worked in the tobacco fields of Virginia, and knew child labor first hand. Chapman was also sent to the Far West as trouble-shooter when the grazing act was first passed in 1884. Ickes and Roosevelt had persuaded Congress to regulate the public domain in the Rocky Noun tain states, where big sheep and cattle men had fenced in large areas of government land.
 Irate groups of cattlemen greeted Chapman wherever he went, but after listening to his persuasion for half an hour, one cattleman got up and said:
 We're all used to having the government in Washington cruc-y us; so this is nothing new. But it is new to have someone come out and consult us about the way we want to be crucified. This man Chapman is at least good enough to come and listen to our side. So I'm for him."

Liberal Battler

Old-time observers say there are two kinds of politicians in Wash ington-those who watch to see which way the wind is blowing, and those who stand up and buck the wind no matter how hard it's blowing.
 Chapman is in the latter class. And his battles-wind or no wind have always been on the liberal side. However, he has worked so quietly and kept himself so much in the background that few have
