HERRING “TRAMPS”
OF THE SEA
Not many people know tha
the herring get to be 30 yeari
old and that they are consid
ered the “tramp fish” of the
undersea world. This fact ii
vouched for by Olaf Floe, man
ager of the Northwestern Her
ring Company’s plant at Pori
Conclusion, southern end ol
Baranof Island, in an article
in the Ketchikan Chronicle
Mr. Floe says that an eminenl
Norwegian who has made a
study of herring all his life, ad
mitted that science had learn
ed very little about the habitf
of this numerous fish, and that
they arei known to live thirty
years. “I call herring a tramp
fish because they have no reg
ular habits the same as sal
mon and other species, as far
as known,” said Mr. Floe.
“They are one of the most
prolific of spawning fish in
existence and if their eggs
were not destroyed by natural
enemies they would soon pack
the oceans. It has been demon
strated that the herring in the
colder waters of Bering Sea
and the North Sea and near
Iceland are slower to mature
and are generally larger than
the herring in warmer waters.
The unprecedented herring
run recently near Unalaska,
and the big run in Chatham
Strait at the present time indi
cates that there are plenty of
herring. Moreover, most of
the herring caught in Alaskan
waters are what we generally
term ‘ocean herring,' and it is
generally believed, though not
proven, that the greater part
of the herring spawn in the
ocean. It is known that they
can spawn at a considerable
depth.”
While no authentic cases of
tularemia are known from
Alaska, biologiists of the U. S.
Bureau of Biological Survey
are said to be looking for evi
dence of that disease in the
North. Several months ago,
when this disease was first dis
covered, a warning was issued
by the bureau. The disease oc
curs in epidemic form among
rabbits, wiping out the animals
in entire sections. As Alaska
rabbits disappear intermittent
ly from the ravages of some
unknown disease, it was
thought it might be tularemia.
This epidemic is said by scien
tists to be communicable to
man and frequently with fatal
results. In issuing its warning
regarding the eating of rabbit
meat, the Biological Survey
advised that such food be
thoroughly cooked in order to
destroy any germs that might
be present in it.
The Coast and Geodetic
steamer Explorer, which work
ed in Southeastern Alaska dur
ing the past summer, recently
developed boiler trouble in
Clarence Strait and radioed for
assistance. The lighthouse ten
der Fern picked her up and
towed her to Ketchikan for re
pairs.

BRIEF ITEMS
FROM All
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
I
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A southeaster which swept
the seas from the mouth oi
Resurrection Bay to the west
ward of Kodiak, drove practic
ally all of the halibut fleet
from the banks, nearly brought
disaster to several and almost
wrecked the Ilene, of Ketchi
kan, recently.
A native of Wrangell named
James Shakisaw was rushed
to the hospital there recently
for treatment after imbibing a
quantity of insect killer, which
he mistook for white mule.
Mrs. Josephine McRae, pro
prietor of a restaurant and
rooming house at Talkeetna,
was found dead in her rooms
recently. An inquest was held
and a verdict was returned by
the jury that death had result
ed from pneumonic condition
and heart trouble. She is sur
vived by a son living in Cali
fornia.
The Ilene, Captain Matt Mad
son, owner, limped into the
port of Seward with a disabled
rudder and a stove-in pilot
house. She was hit by a wave
off Portlock, that carried away
the rudder and nearly took
off the deck structure. Fortu
nately the boat was far off
shore, for she drifted ten
hours before the rudder could
be fixed and the engines got
ten going again. The Ilene had
a crew of 9 men, and had just
arrived on the banks when the
storm came up.
Thomas Gerard, who for the
last two years has been flying
out of Fairbanks for the Ben
nett-Rodebaugh Company, has
entered the aviation field on
his own acount. He recently
arrived in Fairbanks with a
Stinson biplane, with enclosed
cabin, with a capacity of four
passengers besides the two
pilots.
W. L. Hammond 71, well
known mining man of the Gird
wood district, died a few days
ago in the Anchorage hospi
tal, where he was taken
on May 15 last, suffering from
a paralytic stroke.
At a special election held in
Fairbanks on October 15th,
proposed ordinances granting
franchises to F. A. Neville for
a period of 20 years for a tel
ephone system and for a heat
light and water franchise,
were defeated. Two hundred
and ninety-five voted in fav
or of the telephone proposal
and 308 against it, while 293
voted for the heat, water and
light franchise and 355 against
it. A short time ago the citi
zens voted down a propostion
to bond the town for a munici
pal plant to supply heat, lights,
power and water and a tele
phone system. This leaves the
council with but one proposit
ion at present before it, that
of the Northern Commercial
Co., which has supplied the
services for some years past.
Charged with wantonly de
stroying food fish, A1 Minard,
superintendent of the Sunny
Point cannery, near Kake, was
arrested in Seattle recently
following his indictment by the
federal grand jury at Juneau.
The indictment against Minard
was based on the allegation
that 8,000 humpback salmon
were thrown overboard from
the gas boat Pickaninny on

The Alaska Railroad steamer
Alice, which' was hemmed in
by the ice at Dugan Creek,
while upbound from Tanana
to Nenana, on a special voy
age, is apparently there for
the winter. The hoped for
warm spell, which might have
cleared the Tanana River part
ially, did not come, and with
the ice growing firmer each
day the problem now is to
place the vessel in a safe place
for the winter. It is believed
that the passengers are now
at Hot Springs, which is only
io miles below Dugan Creek.
Cordova Igloo, Pioneers of
Alaska, is starting construction
of a typical pioneer log cabin.
The cabin will be erected so
as to command a good view of
the bay and the town. A big
fireplace will be included. It is
expected to have the structure
in readiness for the Grand Ig
loo convention, which meets in
Cordova next March.
Deer hunters in Southeastern
Alaska are finding no scarcity
of game, according to reports
received by the Alaska Game
Commission. The animals are
reported to be in fine condit
ion. Forage has been plentiful.
The fawn crop this year is
known to have been excellent,
and unless there should be an
extra heavy fall of snow this
year, causing the deer to
starve, there will be no short
age of deer for several seas
ons.
The town of Flat, historic min
ing town of the Iditarod, is be
ing moved bodily to make way
Matheson's dredge, in much
the same manner as the town
of Chatanika was moved when
the Fairbanks Exploration
Company began dredging op
erations. Gold deposits on
which Flat rests are too valu
able to be left and the dredge
is now moving up the main
street with business being mov
ed out of the way. Both the
Matheson dredge and that of
the Riley Investment Company
are said to have experienced
their most sucessful season in
years. It was reported that the
latter cleaned up $14,000 in
an 8-day run. By next spring
all of Flat will have been re
moved to another site, it is
said.
Peter Anderson, Alaskan sour
dough and famed as the first
man who planted the Ameri
can flag atop Mount McKinley,
was married in Seattle recent
ly to Mrs. Mayme O’Neill, of
Nenana. The couple went to
the states recently after a ro
mance at Nenana. Anderson
was a member of the Lloyd
expedition, which scaled Mt.
McKinley in 1911.
Wm. Mathews and “Spike''
Curtis, of Skagway, while on
a goat hunting trip, discovered
the body of Art Wilson, partly
submerged in the sand at Dyea.
Wilson had evidently been
drowned about three weeks.
James W. Rombo, a resident
of the Fairbanks district for
many years, died at the Pio
neer Home at Sitka on Septem
ber 15. He was 78 years of age.
