MOURNSDEATH
OF FAITHFUL
CANINEFRIEND
--
C. C. Beck arrived on one of the last
trains from Kennecott, and will leave
on the steamship Alameda for Seattle,
having been called out on account of
the death of a dog, Nip, to whom Mr.
Beck was very much attached, and
which he will have mounted.
The death of this faithful animal
recalls an endurance test of Western
range horses in a novel manner. Mr.
Beck and three other cowboys made
a horseback journey of 20,000 miles
thrjuugh the capital of every state in
the Union, and won a purse of $20,000.
The party started from Olympia,
Wash., May 1, 1912, with five Western
range horses, under an agreement
with more than four hundred stock
men of the Northwest to visit the cap
ital of every state and reach the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition by June 1, 1915,
with at least one of the original
horses. The purpose of the trip was
= to demonstrate the endurance of west
ern range horses and their ability to
adapt themselves to every change of
climate, change of food and roads, and
all other tests to try to the utmost the
mettle of the animals. Of the five
horses that started from Olympia, just
one stood the test—a little spotted
pony of Morgan aipl Arabian breed
that answers to the name of "Pinto,”
which is still in the possession of
George W. Beck of Seattle.
And Nip. by the way, shared honors
with Pinto in endurance and every
other phase of the journey. Nip was
a black Gordon setter with an intelli
gence that was almost human. He
was just six months old when the
party left Olympia, and three years of
= his life were spent in travel. He was
an ardent boomer of Fisher Harris'
famous slogan, “See America first.”
Nip traveled farther and had more
experiences than any other member
of the party. He could not say much
about them, but his master kept an
accurate record of all his perform
ances, including upwards of 2,000 skir
mishes with belligerent dogs encoun
tered along the way. He established
a record which, if he were only of
another color, would easily have put
him at the head of the “white hope”
list. His overweight woul^- indicate
that he was not in training^and was
overfed, but his record beliesTSoth.
Taking into consideration the many
tours of exploration made daily, it is
estimated that Nip easily traveled
twice as far as the horses, and dur
ing the entire time had not as much
as a sore toe in the way of afflictions.
Pour times—in Arizona, New Mexico
Kentucky and North Dakota, he found
the going not exactly to his liking. He
didn t complain, but his masfcr feared
that Nip's feet might become sore, so
they were encased in soft leather
'■ boots.
FISHINGINDUSTRY IS
CROWING IN ALASKA
Leaflets giving a list of fisliiiig in
dustries in Alaska, together with the j
A:aska and local address of each com
pany, have been compiled by the
Alaska bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce. As in previous seasons,
salmon heads the list with moye than
a hundred canneries, nearly as many
sslteries and fifty mild-cured plants.
Herring ranks next in importance.
With the market croated by war last
year, dozens of new plants were
opened and the herring sr.lteries at
(be close of 1918 numbered about one
hundre^r Canning of herring was
carried on by only two canneries, one
located at Port Walter, the other at
Dig Port Walter.
Fifteen plants specialized in the
suiting and canning of codfish, while
the clam canning industry, which was
scarcely started until last ye^r, was
represented by eighty plants by the
end of 1918.
Under the heading “miscellaneous,”
are included canneries which engaged
in the preservation of atkaflsli, mack
erel, sablefish, shrimp, whale, ancho
vies, crab or clam cocktails and trout.
Several companies, specializing in
flsl; byproducts.and fertilizer, are also
listed.
Copies of the leaflet' mr.y be ob
tained upon request from the Alaska
bureau, Seattle Chamber of Com
merce.

PRICES MUST
COME DOWN TO
NORMAL BASIS
Prices of commodities entering into
the production of gold in this country
are gradually but surely being brought
to a normal or pre-war basis, and
within a few months gold mining in
Alaska will be resuming something
closely approaching its old-time mag
niture, according to B. M. Behrends,
president of the Behrends Bank of Ju
neau, the pioneer institution of the
territory, to a Seattle Times reporter
recently.
"From mail and wire information I
am receivinig daily from Juneau, I
am satisfied conditions in Alaska as
regards gold production and general
business are greatly improving,” said
Mr. Behrends. “In the mines in and
about Juneau there are now more
miners at work than when the armis
tice was signed. Miners are coming
from Butte, Kennecott and other cop
per districts, and the shortage of com
petent help is being relieved.
"As general business and labor con
ditions all over the country are
brought to a normal basis, the terri
tory of Alaska will be one of the first
parts of the country to feel the quick
ening pulse of better times and in
creased business activities.
"The suggestion that some means
be found to artificially stimulate the
production of gold was happily dis
missed at Washington, D. C.,'as im
practicable and unnecessary,” Mr.
Behrends said. “After all is said and
done, commodity prices and labor cost
must ultimately be fixed as before we
entered the war, on the basis of the
cost of gold mined in the ground. The
economic principles and standards
which obtained before the war will,
of course, obtain and be in operation
and effect now and hereafter. Gold
fixes the price of everything man uses
and consumes.
“I believe that both labor and cap
ital should frankly and in a practical
manner co-operate in solving the prob
lems of readjustment. Fortunately we
have no reconstruction problem such
as faces the people of Europe. Care
I should be taken by employers to bring
; the readjustment process i to a suc
cessful end with as little harm as pos
sible to business and with the least
^possible injury to labor.
“And at the same time labor should
unite with capital to aid in the neces
sary readjustment of cost of produc
tion of all commodities with as little
friction and stoppage of business as
is possible. The cost of labor fixes
the cost of food and commodities. Un
alterable economic laws are now
working to hring about a return to
general pre-war conditions, and all
who help forward that process and
work with it, instead of fighting it,
will be better off in the long run.”
.Mr. Behrends came to the Pacific
coast as a young man in the late
80s, and made his home in Juneau,
where more than thirty years ago he
established his bank. He made his
first hanking connection in Seattle
with the Dexter Horton Bank before
the great fire of June 6, 1889, and
during all the intervening years has
bqen a frequent visitor to Seattle.
