ary under the Presbyterian

ean Revival” and “My expert-j
ences with Chinese Bandits’ were
interesting topics listened to by

provements are also being made

end freighter.
The Long-Bell Company, tim
ber and mill, are in the market

[appointed agents at Wrangell
and Juneau to secure these seed.
The Alaska Game Commission

matters pertinent to the fur
game of Alaska. Their actions
and regulations will be publish
ed. later.
Lawrence K. Kubley of Ketchi

ON FEDERAL PAYROLL
-x
Says Arthur Brisbane: The re-1
luctance of Gen. Emilio Aguinal
do to accept leadership of a pro
posed new opposition party in
the Philippines is in keeping
with his deportment since he
made his peace with the United
States government. As leader of
the Philippine insurrection, he
was the principal exponent of
’r>dcredence: but since he war
taken by Gen. Frederick Fun
stan, he has been getting alon~
peacably and amicably with the
constituted authorities. His son
was educated at West Point and
he has found much to admire
and to praise in the American
administration of the islands.
The Real Reason
General Aguinaldo since hh
capture by Gen. Funston has
been a pensioner of the United
States government. His pension
is said to be $25,000. American
money. In his own country the
fiery Fillipino general is con
sidered a traitor of his peonle.
For a pension he refuses to side
in with his people for their ab
solute independence.

SPOILS OF “SEWARD’S FOLLY
---x
When Secretary Seward nego
tiated for the purchase of Alas
ka for $1,500,000 plus $5,700,000 j
for the Russian naval demon-!
stration in New York harbor
during the Civil War, this vast
unknown land was dubbed “Sew
aid’s Folly.”
Last year the Alaska fisheries
clone produced $50,795,000 while
its mines produced $16,066,000
in minerals and $528,000 in coal.
Since 1918, $4,477,000 has been
deposited in the United States
treasury from the sale of seal
skins.
When that wealth begins to
remain in the territory it will be
a mighty rich country to live in.

THE FLEET ItEST FOR SHORT
SEASON
-x
Safe in port, after braving the
dangers of the storm-swept Pa
cific, virtually the entire Seat
tle halibut fleet is tied up at the
Fishermen’s Dock in Ballard.
They await the bells which will
signal full speed ahead again for
Alaska waters on February 12th.
Long lines of schooners, with an
astonishing variety of rigging,
apparently resting after long and
hard battles with the elements
on the fishing banks. The Hard
ings, Coolidges, McKinley’s and
I incolns, are tied up side by each
the bonnie colleens are tide up
side by side awaiting the lifting
of the ban on fishing in Febru
ary. None of the units now de
pend on sail alone but most of
them have this auxiliary power.
The seventh closed season, un
dev the international treaty is
a subject which is receiving the
serious thought of boat owners
and crews.
The smaller beat owners favor
an extension of the closed sea
son—an added two weeks. The
owners of the larger vessels a^e
strongly against the proposal,
hi this they voice the sentiment
md the active support of the
Fishing Vessels Owners’ Associa
.ion.
No substitute proposal to pre
sent extermination of the hali
but. has proposed. The in
ernational fisheries commission
•epoi’ted its activities and studv
out had no other positive data
)r plan to offer than has been !
•ubmitted in the past.
The rate of depletion of this I
n snite of more intensive fhhing
s about ten per cent a year. In
he years, according to the In
:ernational Commission, the seed
stock will have been so dimin
shed as tc make it unprofitable
to r-oerate.
This matter vitally concerns
Petersburg and every other Alas
ka community. Any solution
hat will conserve future supply
viil benefit the Territory. Eva
sion of the responsibility of pro
tecting the supply v/ill only be
economic sucide.
Two Thousand Employed
According to the Fishing Ves
sel Owners’ Association, about
2.000 men are employed on the
^00 vessels (American) operating
in Alaska. Two hundred
fleet hail from Seattle and the
other hundred are locally owned
and operated. The season just
'dosed had a catch of 43,000.000
pounds valued at $12,900,000.
