THE FISH QUESTION
We have been in the Territory
some twenty years, most of the
time on the Coa.«t, says the Sitka
Tribune, but what we do not know
about the fish question, would fill
the Congressional Library. We have
read and listened to fish experts,
near-experts, cannery-men, fishermen
offcials and pencil puhhers, only- to
become the more confused. How
ever, it seems to be expected of
every self respecting newspaper to
brew a kettle of fish of some kind
and the Tribune doesnH. want to be
the only- one with nothing to say,
even though we say nothing in say
ing it. There was one thing even
our obtuse editorial mind could un
derstand and that was the necessity
» of doing something to save and per
petuate the fish. But the minute re
serves were crated for allowing fish
escapement up goes another awful
howl, with everybody calling every
body names. Just as soon as two
and two make four, if enough fish
escape, everyone will have fish, but
if the fish don't escape no one will
have fish, and there you are. Let’s
have an armistice or a moratorium
or ultimatum on the fish and after
enough shall have escaped to insure
a supply, then we can begin the
fight over again about who catches
them and how they shall be caught.

BIG TIMBER IN ARIZONA
■Arizona forests produced 93,500,
000 feet of timber during the year
ending December 31, last, according
to a statement by William H. Kil
len, member of a large southern
Arizona lumber company with head
quarters here, in an address given
before the Rotarian organization.
Of Arizona’s forest supply Mr.
Killen said in part:
“It is estimated by the Forestry
Department that Arizona has 5,000,
000 acres of forest land, producing
about 5,000,000 feet to the acre.”
And in pointing out necessity for
forest protection and transplanting
of that portion now cleared be added
“At the rate at which the timber
was cut during the year just ended,
the supply will have become exhaust
ed in approximately twenty years.”
ICELAND SPAR MINE IS SOLD
An Iceland spar mine in eastern
Montana has been purchased by
Dr J. F. Rowe of the department
of geology of the state university
here. It is according to Dr. Rowe,
the only mine of its kind in the
United States, and demand for the
product exists both in the United
States and other countries.
Dr. Rowe stated that there are
two kinds of the mineral Iceland
spar and the optical Iceland spar.
The second is used to make Xicol
prisms and for other scientific work
BOY SCOUTS BURY PIONEER
Boy scouts of Butte gave burial to
John Kern, one of the founders
and the last resident of Highland
City, once a prosperous placer camp
in the hills ten miles south of here.
The aged prospector was found
dead in his cabin, with his dog
watching his body. It took a rescue
party twenty hours t get the body
through the snow to Butte.
ASTORIA CONCRETE CITY
Enginers wrestling- with the pro
blem of reconstructing Astoria's
business district, which was wrecked
by the fire of December 8, 1922,
have decided that instead of filling
in the streets with earth a better
method would be to bulid concrete
viaducts with concrete walls at
the sides. The city commission has
given its approval to this plan and
work has begun.
When Astoria was built ovef the
mud flats along the bank of the
Columbia river wood piling was used
to support the streets. These street
supports served as funnels for the
flames to spread in all directions and
were responsible for the extent of
the conflagration.
One suggestion of those planning
the rebuilding of Astoria was to
build retaining walls along the
streets solidly with earth, but the
concrete viaduct plan according to
; its proponents, would leave space
! beneath for laying municipal and
public serv ice pipes, wires and con
; duits, and would be more econom
ical than a solid fill. It was pointed
out that it would be fully as safe
from'fire if heavy concrete retain
, ing walls are built at curb lines
and fire curtains at all intersections.

TACOMA HAS DEVILISH WOMAN
Fisherwomen are said to be rare—
women being supposed to have neith
er the patience to wait for the fish
to get hungry nor the courage to
. disentagle the slimy, wriggly crea
tures after they have become suffi
ciently hungry to eat the bait, and
the hook.
Mrs. Lavina Hause, however, who
lives on the Narows, west of here,
is not only a fisherwomen, but a
devilfisherwoman. She fishes for de
vilfish, and she catches the danger
ous octopi in* such numbers as to
make the devilfishermen envious and
jealous.
Mrs. Hause, a wiry, little woman,
who became a devilfisherwoman two
] years ago for pleasure and profit,
declared she would rather bag an
octopus than “cook a good meal.”
although her husband and business
partner declares she is equally cap
able of either.
