;» WHALING INDUSTRY THREAT
IENS HERRING FISHERIES
At the rate wnaies are being kill
ed in southeastern Alaska It ia on
ly a question of time when the
great mammals will be extermin
ated and with them will go the her
ring, according to fishermen who
are well qualified to speak on the
question.
1, During the past season approxi
" 1 n aiely six hundred whalee were
►
I killed by two big whaling outfits
to the westward. This meant a
revenue to the whaling stations ol
approximately six hundred thou
sand dollars.. As far as Alaska
was concerned it meant nothing in
the way of revenue save the taxes
paid.
Contrary to belief, say experienc
\ ed fishermen, the whale is one of
I the most valuable adjuncts to the
herring industry. It is the herder
of the deep, and drives the fish in
to shallow waters of the bays and
r inlets from which the major por
^ tion of herring are taken. It is
the habit of the whale to spot the
\ herring when in the deep sea and
\ begin rounding them up into com
t pact masses to better facilitate
feeding. To escape the attacks ol
the whales, herring move Inshore.
rI hose in turn are followed by sal
mon permitting of their capture
before the spawning season and
when they are at their beet.
The Scandinavian countries early
discovered the value of the whale
as an adjunct to herring fishing.
► In fact, the whale was the very
►! keynote to successful fishing, in
► I many instances herding the fish ln
►; to such compact masses that, those
► in the center of the school were
► forced out of the water. The fish
Si ermen always sought the whales ol
,! the North Sea, knowing that they
^! would be near the schools of her
£ ring. fB.
H With respect to local herring
\1 fishing, the waters of lower Cook
Iniet are the most prolific In the
v. orld. The quality of the fish tak
en has established them as a staple
article in the markets of the world,

There’s This “Human
Side” To Gasoline
and Oil—
A 'very human one, we think—here in the West—to Union Not>
detonating Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil. And we believe that
you’ll be interested in it
OU, probably, don’t think much
X about the gasoline and oil you use.
You buy a good grade. One makes your
motor go. The other lubricates it. You
don’t check up very accurately on mile
age or on costs. You simply get “ten
gallons’’ or “a quart,” and off you go.
It’s rather impersonal.
And yet a gallon of gasoline and a
quart of oil are chock-full of personality!
There is the personality of those ex
tremely human beings who are intensely
interested in making theirs the best, even
if it be by but a shade—and there are
people like that in oil companies, just as
you may be Use that hi the business you
are in.
Speaking for this Company, we can
say that we have hundreds of them—
all vibrant personalities and all eager to
excel. For when they do excel they rise,
and are promoted, mad their wives, their
children and their friends are proud of
seas
They want to make a better gasofina,
a better oil, to satisfy a natural d«fct td
work, achieve, surpass, sucott4 fac'itlt

If you could ask any of our chemists,
or Union Oil refiners, or research SMtt
—the men who handle the processes, ar
those who check results •— about the
quality of nondetonating Union Gaso
line and non-carbonizing West eta
ARISTO Motor OH, their conviction,
we believe, would convince you* Thefe
belief would ins pice yours. Their enthu
siasm makes you enthusiastic.
In them you would find the “person

If, as is claimed, the whales will
soon be exterminated, the fisher
men will suffer untold loss and the
industry will seriously crippled if
not actually wiped out.
Some years ago it was reported
that the herring had left certain
waters in the North Sea, and it
was believed they had migrated.
It was discovered that the exter
mination of the whale herds was
the cause of disappearance of the
fish. The Scandinavian countries
immediately enacted laws protect
ing the whales and the fish are
again in their accustomed waters.
The herring fishermen are alarm
ed at the rate the whales are being
killed to the Westward, and it is
reported the matter will be taken
up with the Bureau of Fisheries,
asking that curtailment be made
in the taking of such large num
bers f mammals each year.—An
cnrage Times.
CRIME NEWS
We do not believe that the news
papers and those who clamor for
the suppression of crime news
exactly understand each other. It
is hardly likely that anyone wants
all newa about crime kept out
of papers. It is rather the undue and
unnecessary prominence that is giv
en to criminals and their deeds
that is objected to and frequently
this objection is more a matter of
taste than of a desire to ignore
crime. It must be apparent even to
publishers of metropolitan dailies
^hat the average editor lacks the
proper perspective in dealingwith
the daily grist of the crinjte in a
legger or a beer runner or a crook
legger or a beer runner or a croo
ed politician murders or gets mur
dered, the facts of th9 crime cer
tainly should be printed. But the
Minute details of criminal alliances,
the intimate history of the under
world characters,, their silly nick
names, their lineage, and other
familiar information so glibly dis
cussed by police reports it is doubt
ful if any great number of news
paper readers even in cities where
such criminals thrive, are interes
ted n this minutia or even read
it when printed. We sometimes
wonder why the police reporter is
not relegated to a less important po
sition on the staff, merely for the
sake of making a more readable pa
per . The average news editor is
a peaceful individual, frequently
domesticated, generaly a man of
education and culture, and he must
get weary of handling the sordid
stories of a lot of uninteresting low
brows who would never get their
names in the papers if they did not
commit crimes.—Gibson City (111.)

NEW METHOD OF FREEZING
HALIBUT
In connection with the opening
this afternoon by J. J. Bowie, sec
retary of .the Bioogical Board of
Canada, of the new fisheries ex
perimental station at this port,
there was a demonstration by D. B.
Finn, acting director of the station,
of a new brine method of freezing
halibut that has been devised here
and which is such an improvement
In the matter of preservation of
the fish that it will make possib
le the marketing of frozen fish on
the eastern retail markets as the
equal of fresh.
The demonstration g ho wed the
difference between air frozen and
brine frozen halibut under the new
system developed ber9, following
investigations that have been going
on this season. Air frozen halibut,
It was shown, was relatively dry
when thawed out and the flesh
was in no way comparable to fresh
halibut, whereas the flesh, when
the brine method was mployed,
could hardly be distinguished from
fresh fish either in texture or
quality. The new method thus
mado it possible, the demonstration
proved, to place brine frozen hali
but when thawed out on the market
as the equal of fresh, which it was
impossible to do under the air
freezing system. Mr. Finn also gave
a demonstration of the oils that
caused old halibut to become yel
