CANNERS INTERESTED IN
THE TARIFF LAWS
Mr. Victor Elfendahl of * the
Skinner-Eddy Corporation has
returned from New York to see
the inauguration. His principle
interest in Washington affairs
these days centers in the new
tariff bill. The salmon packers
of Alaska are asking for a sub
stantial duty on salmon to off
set the large importation of Rus
sian salmon that are coming to
the United States. He says that
there are enough salmon in Si
berian streams to furnish a pack
equal to that of Alaska.

The Congress is in session to
day trying to clean up some ol
the more important bills on the
Calendar. They are now engag
ed in acrimonious debate in the
House over the so-called na
tional origins bill. This is a
measure that will go into effect
July 1st of this year but the Pres
ident must issue a proclamation
to that effect on or before April
1st. The measure before the
House is for the purpose of ex
tending the time for national
origins act to go into force. Ev
en if it passes the House it i£
likely to be killed in the Senate
in the closing hours .of the ses
sion. The national origins act
bases the immigration to this
country on the census of the
year 1790, and permits present
entrance to the United Stated
in proportion to the nationals
who were resident here soon af
ter the Revolutionary War. This
of course, gives England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales a very
large quota and reduces the quo
ta for some other nations to a
negligable number. It . also ef
fects the German and Scandina
vian quotas materially. The fol
lowing changes in the immigra
tion quota will come about when
the new law goes into effect.

LaTOUCHE MINES KEEP CAMP

Recent Reopening of old Proper

Anhcorage Times '
There is a lot of activity at La
To.uche this winter, according to
M. L. Ekert, Anchorage man, who
returned to the busy copper
community. The reopening of
the Ladysmith property recent
ly has added considerably tjo the
operations in .that part of Alas
ka, with about 100 men employ
ed between the two properties
and the promise-^f steady em
ployment throughout the re
mainder ofi'the year. The Lady
smith mine has been closed fqr
a C9nsiderable time, the Beatson
irine haying been the only pro
ducing property on the island
during the recent years.
The two properties are suffi
ciently. close to. each other so
that both can be served from one
camp, which greatly? simplifies
details of operation and inci
dentally makes. business better
for the two . Anchorage young
men who pave the hotel conces

Mr: ' tfkert did* not hear any
talk of the Beatson mine closing
down because of exhaustion of

there have been reposts in clr
