A REAL FISH STORY
The champion fish story of
the ages is that of Jonah and
the whale. But we have in
our American history a fish
story that admits of no argu
ment as to whether it is fact
or false. When Daniel Web
ster and Lord Ashburton
were making the boundary
treaty between the United
States and Canada the latter
stood out for the Columbia
river as a natural dividing
line. Webster stood for the
forty-ninth parallel.
The brother of the English
prime minister was in the
west, fishing on the Columbia
river. He had bad luck.Either
the fish were not educated to
rise to a fly or he was a poor
fisherman. Be that as it may,
he was so disgusted that he
wrote his brother: “There
was no use making a fuss
about the country, as it was
n’t worth a damn.”
So Lord Ashburton wras in
structed to yield the point,
and half of what is now the
state of Washington was sav
ed to the union. On the other
hand, Lord Ashburton would
have traded the entire Cana
dian northwest, Manitoba, A1
berta and Saskatchewan for
two or three of the northern
counties in Maine. There was
where Daniel Webster miss
ed out.
But neither he nor anyone
else in 1840 had the slightest
knowledge of the value of
that vast region dotted now
with prosperous cities and
with wheat fields of magnific
ent extent. But Daniel Web
ster could not see it.
In British Columbia, how
ever, they still sigh to think
that anEnglishman’s bad luck
in trying to catch salmon cost
them such a rich and noble
territory.—Cincinnati Enqui
rer.
THE SEASON DRAWS
TO A CLOSE.
In the past few days, tourist
travel to Alaska has dropped.
Fewer boats are coming nor
th. All that marks the begin
ning of the end of a season
far more successful than had
been expected. At the same
time the fishing in the Ketch
ikan district ended recently,
and within a short period the
canneries will be running
through the last fish of the
season—a season which also
has been far more successful
than had been expected.
So it is that the summer
and the beehive of activity
that has been Ketchikan will
leave us for another year.
Immediately, we have some
thing to look forward to: the
fair. After that will be Christ
mas. Then spring and anoth
er fishing season, another tour
ist season.—Ketchikan Alas
ka Chronicle.

“There are other markets
that lay in the future—those
that will result from the nu
merous military landing fields
with personnel, that are now
projected. Naval bases and
military ammunition and sup
ply depots will soon be reali
ties, all employing hundreds
of men and supporting large
lists of families.
there is no reason to doubt
but that the scientifically rais

this valley, “The Bread Bask

“In conclusion permit me
to say that Alaska’s first Col

with the human factor, hum
an nature being what it is.
“Farming is hard labor, and
it will take labor to produce
results on Matanuska soil,
just as it does on any farm.
“Let us hope that these1
people brought from the povj
erty of their homelands to
this newly given opportunity
in a virgin unspoiled country,
will be sufficiently apprecia
tive of the task that confronts
them to give to it the best j

“If they do this, we can,
ask no more. They too, as
well as Matanuska are writ
ing a new chapter in Alaska's
history.”
