THE FISHERIES HEARING
Alaska should be well represented
at the fisheries hearing which is sched
uled to open in Seattle on November
20. For years the North has been al
together too complaisant about these
hearings, trusting to the bureau of
fisheries to protect the interests of
the territory from serious inroads on
the fishing resources of the various
Alaska waters and streams.
The result can readily be seen in
the decreasing packs. - Not only is the
catch of the local fishermen, in every
section, lighter, but even the canner
ies can not take out the fish they se
cured in former years with even less
improved methods. Why can’t they
do it? The answer is plain enough—
there are fewer fish to be had as the
result of their indiscriminate opera
tions, which to a large extent have
prevented the fish from reaching the
spawning grounds.
SALMAGUNDI
Since the time when Diocletian at
tempted to fix prices in Rome—the
year being 301 A. D.—there has been
no more general disturbance because
of the cost of living than there is at
present. It is even worse now than
it was then, because there are more
people in the world, more people who
are cross or hysterical, more people
impregnated with class-consciousness,
more business agents and walking del
egates and more people who are gen-1
erally dissatisfied with everything. In
stead of being purified by the fire of |
war we appear to be more antagonistic j
than ever. Threats abound, contracts,!
*
in .so far as collective bargaining be
tween capital and labor is concerned,
are viewed as the former German gov
ernment viewed its treaty obligations,
and any old agreement is merely a
scrap of paper if either party thereto
wishes to avoid its terms.
Not since the captain of the Pinafore
sang of his troubles have things been
tween peoples who are able to main
tain armies are continuous. Insurrec-.
more at sixes and sevens. Wars be
tion and riot are of daily occurrence.
Strikes abound everywhere, and we •
have heard senators of the United
States voice a desire to have the Presi
. dent impeached because of his advo
cacy of the League of Nations.
No sooner had Chicago finished with
its race riots than Boston jumped into
the limelight with a strike of its police,
while the steel workers have further
agitated the situation by calling a gen
eral strike.
It is unquestionably true that all of
the troubles base on food costs, and
when this is again regulated by sup
ply and demand most of our troubles
will vanish. Things do seem to be
rather at odds just now, but there is
no reason to be dow'nhearted. The dif
ficulties we are experiencing are not
new. They have all been here before
and were overcome. Price-fixing both
ered Diocletian and the Emperor Ju
lian was up against it along about the
year 361. If you are at all discour
aged, forget the newspapers for a
while and dig into your history a bit.
There is not an original trouble under
the sun, except engine trouble, and
the garage men are still working.
The Daily Times is in receipt of a
copy of the Germantown, Penn., Inde
pendent Gazette, a weekly paper of
which Colonel Frank Wilbur Smith
is editor and one of the owners.
Colonel Smith was lately assistant
chief of staff of the Eighty-ninth divi
sion of the American expeditionary
forces in France, and will be remem
bered in Cordova as the postoffice in
spector who spent some time here sev
eral years ago in the prosecution of
the embezzlement in the local office,
in which $4,000 was involved.
Information brought from trfT; west
ward is to the effect that Representa
tive John Noon of Seward is being
mentioned as a candidate next year
for the Democratic nomination for del
egate to congress from Alaska.

GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS
Historical Appellations Bestowed on
Summits of Mountain Range In
Old Vermont.
Heretofore when one “spoke of the
presidential range everyone — every
New Englander, at least—knew, with
out further particularizing, that Mount
Washington and its attendant summits
was the subject, writes Allen Cham
berlain in the Boston Evening Tran
script.
Henceforth one must needs be more
specific, since during the last year a
rival presidential range has appeared
on the map in Vermont. That region,
hitherto generally spoken of as the
Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying
between Middlebury gap and the Lin
coln-Warren pass, was but little
known, except in its southerly portion,
until the Green Mountain. club men
ran their Skyline trail through. They
found there a maze of unnamed sum
mits grouped as in council, and seem
ingly worthy of being recognized as
individuals of distinction.
•lust north of these heights is the
rugged mass whose summits have been
known for more than half a century as
Mounts Abraham and Lincoln. Quite
naturally the idea of a 'new presiden
tial range arose and, with great»parti
san restraint, four of the neighboring
mountains were therefore named
Mount Grant, Mount Grover Cleve
land, Mount Roosevelt and Mount
Woodrow Wilson.
Poisoned by Ink.
Behind the scenes at the Globe the
ater, w here, to the delight of all play
goers, Miss Violet Vanbrugh has scor
ed another wonderful success In
“Trimmed in Scarlet,” the famous ac
tress told me this amusing story of her
early days.
“We were playing ‘Romeo and Jul
iet’ on tour,” she said, “and one night
in the poison scene, Juliet found her
self without a phial. The audience
was waiting, and in despair she
snatched an ink-bottle from the stage
carpenter, and gasping ‘Is it empty?'
rushed on.
“Rut when the hapless lady raised
the bottle to her lips and tipped It
downwards, a strain of ink descended
over her chin and down her white
dress. The house yelled at the comi
cal sight.”—London Tit-Bits.
No More Shiny Domes.
After the wonders which we have
seen worked for the soldiers who suf
fered disfigurement during the war,
It is not surprising that plastic sur
geons are turning their attention to
improving civilians also. Ugly noses,
projecting ears, harelips and all sorts
of other obstacles to good looks will
probably be easily corrected in the
not-far-away future. The most in
teresting thipg along this line which
has been recently discovered is that
no one need suffer from baldness uny
more. By grafting a piece of skin
from some part of the head where
hair is still growing onto the bald
patch, a new covering is said to be
insured.
