ALASKA LAST
CHANCE FOR
FISHERMEN
* In California. Oregon and Washing
ton and Southern British Columbia
waters, salmon fishermen look up from
| their nets and ask, ‘Where do we go
from here*, hoys?’ The? cannerymen
reply. 'To Alaska, the* last chance.’ ”
In these words, the Alaska Kish and
Game club of Juneau, in a report cov
e-ring fish depletion made to Tho.Vas
Biggs, Jr., governor of Alaska, sums
up what it calls ‘‘a miserable contest
between nature and man.” The re
port was mad** public by 10. J. White,
chief of the official Alaska publicity
bureau.
"Strenuous efforts must be put forth
for the- maintenance of the- salmon,
attacked as they are, by the fisheries
during the* most vital period of their
existence, the spawning season,” the
report continues.
"When the fish are taken in the
spawning season, not only is the fish
forever lost, but billions of eggs that
me,lit reproduce the kind are gone.
When it is considered that an adult
feinab- salmon contains at least three
thousand roe. that it took JO.000,000
female- and an equal number of male
fish to supply the pack for 1017 and a
like- number for that of litis, assuming
that the* run is equally divided between
tin- sexes, what a tremendous loss it
means for reduction and maintenance.
It is truly wonderful that tin* specie
has survived the- handicap Natute
is struggling deperately against man,
but In* is going to beat her in Ala ka
as well as elsewhere and tin* race is
approaching tie finish.”
In a statement accompanying tie- re
port. Mr. White- asserts salmon ar«- be
coming scarcer each year in localities
whe re canneries have been operat'd
for any considerable- pe riod of ve;»r>. ;
"Wien tie- mat te-r of eb-pb-t lie I ue

FIGHT SONG
CAMP LEWIS, Oct l.Y -Governor
Moses Alexander of Idaho on his trip
of inspection to Camp Lewis heard the
first redition of one of the 13th Divi
sion fighting songs which will he
taught the soldiers before they go
overseas.
The song entitled "Cntll We're
Thirteen Miles Past Berlin" was com
posed by Arthur Freed a former res
ident of Seattle, but who until called
into the army was a composer for a
New York music publishing house.
Now it is Private Freed, 13th Sanitary
train.
The words of the song follow:
Thirteen they say is an unlucky num
ber.
That bad luck cannot miss.
But they're all wrong, just bet your
life.
What do you think of this?
CHORDS
Woodrow Wilson has thirteen letters
In his well known name;
Thirteen stripes in the flag of old
Glory.
For those thirteen states of fame.
With those thirteen stripes as our
only mascot.
The 13th Division must win.
For we'll never stop our long, long

Till we re thirteen miles past Berlin.
Thirteen you'll find is the unlucky
number
Only for the Huns.
For it’s the number of a division
