THUMBS TO NOSE
The herring reductionists and
The Pacific Fisherman stick
iheir thumbs to their noses at
Alaskans and their fisheries and
it'll them to like it. Supine and
spineless, many of them do. But
another chapter remains to be
v ritten. Opening paragraph is
like this “Oldest Herring Reduc
tion Plant Will not Operate This
year, Account No Herring. Oth
er Plants to Follow Suit Later.”
As usual, it is the Alaskans
who will be holding the empty
Lag.
Rememebr those thumbs—and
like it!
NO PLACE FOR TOOLS
Coroner James N. Whitfield of
Richmond, Va., declared that the
death of Mrs. D. W. Timberlake
of that city, was due to the pre
sence of a pair of surgical forc
eps left in her left side, in the
abdomen, following an operation
three years ago.
The length of the forceps was
five inches. The physician in
charge of the autopsy testified
that he and three internes were
present when the forceps were
discovered.
CHICAGO IS BROKE
The Chicago public schools;
may have to be closed on the 1st
of February because of the mud
dled financial condition of the
city.
“I cannot see how it i: pos
sible to continue the schools
next month,” H. Wallace Cald
well. president of the board of
education said at a recent meet
ing of the board. ‘‘Even if we
pass the budget we cannot get
tne funds.
The school crisis is brought
about by the fact that there is
no market for 1930 tax anticipa
tion bonds.
PLETHORA OF WOMEN PUTS
DANISH MEN ABOVE PAR
An Associated Press dispatch
cf recent date declares that a
survey disclosed that 25 per
cent of the children of Copen
hagen are born of unmarried pa
rents. In Danish towns illegit
imacy reaches 14 per cent and in
rural districts 3 per cent.
The Danes are usually liberal
toward marriage. They recog
nize the rule which permits un
married school teachers to have
children. This position is based
cn the ground that every woman
has a right to raise children and
that there are not enough hus
bands to go around.
Danes marry late in life. Sev
enty-five per cent of the men
between the ages of 20 and 29
are unmarried.
GRUNT—NOT CHUCKLE
-x
Well we see where Henry
O’Malley, commissioner of U. S.
Fisheries, got harpooned again
the other day by a well-known
alleged Alaskan residing at
Washington. We can vision
O'Malley’s grin and chuckle
from here.—Seward Gateway.
If O’Malley grinned and chuck
led over the forceful blows giv
en the Bureau of Fisheries by
Delegate Sutherland, then Hen
ry is thicker skinned than he
has evidenced in the past. The
blows brought grunts, and not
grins and chuckles.
MULE HAD REAL KICK
A jug of “white mule” was
left in an oven of a cookstove in
a Springfield, Oregon restaur
ant. It exploded, rocked the
building, shattered the plate
glass and sprayed the cook. It
was thought by neighbors that
a bomb had been exploded in
the building. Proprietor jailed
for driving while drunk forgot to
tell his cook to remove the mule
from the oven before it got a
real kick.
POLICY VINDICATED
-x
When Victor H. Elfendahl,
president of the Association of
Pacific Fisheries declares that
‘ We think we have inaugurated
! notable conservation measures,
but we have only started, judg
ing by this Canadian action,” j
he admits the allegation of Alas- j
kans that honest conservation
of the fisheries has not yet bean
attempted and that more drastic
measures in harmony with the
Canadian policy are necessary.
The day has passed when the
condemnation of the Bureau of
Fisheries brings criticism from
thoughtful Alaskans—and can
rerymen. The entire fabric of
cur economic system is wrapped
up in the fisheries. Complete
destruction of the fisheries by
“kidding” conservation regula
tions can no longer be tolerated.
The continued support of the
O’Malley system of parcelling
out waters as a special privilege
and the illegal definitions of the
law by underlings of the Bureau
of Fisheries has driven too many
residents out of the Territory.
It is time every citizen of the
Territory quits kidding himself
by bunkum propaganda put out
by organs which profit from the
system which makes peons of
freeborn citizens.

VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE
The Yukon-Pacific Highway,
as it is now being termed in the
North, is to be virtually an ex
tension of the Pacific Highway
now extending from San Diego
to Seattle and Vancouver. Going
north it will follow in the vicin
ity of Hazelton through the
highly mineralized belt in the
the vicinity of Portland Canal
end the famous Premier mine,
and also through a similar re
gion to Atlin, Whitehorse and
Fairbanks, hooking up with
Dawson, Mayo and other im
portant interior and Coast
I
points of Alaska and Yukon.

ANTI-REDUCTION BILL
A bill designed to prohibit the
use of food fish for reduction
purposes in Alaska has been in
[troduced in Congress by Dan
Sutherland, delegate from the
Territory. The measure is iden
tical with the bill which Mr.
Sutherland fostered two years
ago and which failed of passage.
V hile herring operators have
been watching the situation
closely, they feel inasmuch as
Congress declined to act on the
previous measure, there is little
likelihood it would destroy the
industry at this time. This is
particularly true as the present
administration is dedicated to
“farm relief” and the Suther
land measure, by cutting off
an important source of fish
meal, would undoubtedly in
crease the cost of that increas
ingly vital commodity to the
farmer.—Pacific Fisherman.

I The marriage of Miss Hilda
.Nystrom to Mr. N. O. Hardy of
!Juneau, recently took place in
[Seattle. Mr. Hardy will Ice re
’membered for what he tried to
■ c'o while in the legislature and
failed because right thinking
A.askans blocked his moves.

GOVERNMENT MAKES DRIVE
ON VIOLATORS
-x
There are about 400 persons,
including public officials under
Federal indictment for conspira
cy to violate the Prohibition
laws.
In the Federal District Court
at Oklahoma, 102 persons are
accused of conspiracy and their
trial was started Wednesday. :
Chevene, Wyoming, South
Texas and Northern Idaho are
cl her court centers where vio
lators of the liquor laws are be-]
ing tried.
Izzy Goldstein and family re-:

C. T. Gardner returned this,
week. He has been busy south
getting his political fences fix
ed.
Construclion of a new road
along the Tulsequah River, a
tributary of the Taku River in
Lhe newly discovered Taku min
ing district is announced from
British Columbia. Work there
on will begin as soon as feasible
in the spring. This road, which
begins in Canada will be the
f rst road built by the provincial
government to cut through the
Alaska panhandle. It will open

IIALIBUTMEN WILL NOT FISH
In consideration of marker j
conditions and particularly the j
large stock of frozen halibut
from last season still remain' n
in storage, the the halibut fish
ermen of Juneau, Petersburg, j
Ketchikan, Prince Rupert, Van- j
couver and Seattle, acting on
the suggestion of the fish buy
ers have agreed to remain idle!
in port until after March 1st, al
though legally the open season j
for fishing will begin on the!
morning of February 16th
This will give the market de-!
nand an opportunity to catch |
up with the offerings and may j
also result in the saving of lives!
and property on the banks.
There is a growing conviction
amongst the fishermen that the
closed season should be extended
to more fully cover the season in
which severe storms may be ex
pected.
While this two-week post
ponement of the halibut season
is entirely voluntary on the part
of the American fishermen, due
to the consequent low prices
which would result if the sea
son were actually opened Feb
ruary 16th, it would seem im
n
nerative that something be done
to combat the importation of
Japanese halibut into Seattle.
It is reported that four million
pounds of Japanese halibut were
imported into Seattle last year
at six cents per pound. That is
lour cents under the lowest
price American fishermen cun
accept ana remain in the busi
ness.
