A personal test by President
Hoover of the enforceability of
the Prohibition law is being
vatched keenly by observers. An
effort is said to be coming, to
make Washington a dry city. A
large paper says: “If prohibition
is enforceable in any of our ur
ban communities, the city of
Washington should furnish the
the proof.” Says another: “It
will be an exceedingly interest
ing laboratory experiment since,
if it is demonstrated that an un
popular law can not be enforced
n a community that lacks the
franchise and even by Mr. Hoov
er then the case for enforce
ment in other cities falls flat
ike a pancake.” Another large
magazine remarks that “If the
President succeeds in the Dis
trict of Columbia, then general
enforcement will be made easi
er throughout the country.”
HELGELAND ON FIRE STORM
The halibut fisherman Helgo
land caught on fire when 90
miles of! shore at the Kodiak
banks recently, and the crew
was forced to take to their dor
ies after using all their foamite
and pyrene extinquishers on the
blaze. A heavy gale and sea was
running according to Louis Holm
master of the vessel on the night
of Sept. 28 when fire was
discovered in the after part of
the engine room. When they
found it impossible to check the
blaze, they sealed up the craft,
threw her anchors overboard
and took to their dories.
When the flames appeared to
be dying they decided to board
the vessel as their position in
the dories on the high seas was
just as precarious. They formed
a bucket brigade and fought the
fire and succeeded in putting
repairs they sailed for Ketchi
kan where they reported their
experience. It is estimated that
the damage will amount to ap
proximately $3,000. It is thot
that the fire started by cross
jurrent of electric wiring, but'

SALMON PEtICE GOING UP
Whatever the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries may say as regards a
normal salmon .pack may be true
or not, according to who says so.
It is being pointed out now that
prices of pink salmon is going to
start off at $1.60 the dozen;reds;
are hitting $2.65 the dozen up to
$2.85. Cohoes have also stepped j
up to $2.00 and the ocean co- j
hces have climbed to $2.15 and
$2.25. The fall pack of this last
snecies are reported as being a
complete failure on the Sound
and Columbia River..
The rise in prices is due to the
on this year’s pack, shrdlu etao
shortage of 400,000 cases in pro
duction this year. And still the
bureaucrats and their hench
men declare a “normal season.’"
Jess Ames is leaving soon for
