COLLEGE STAFF
Clarence L. Anderson, son of
Louis Anderson, of this city, who
spent a number of years in the
Northland and who still considers
himself an Alaskan, was recently
confirmed as a member of the fac
ulty of the University of Washing
ton, from which institution he grad
uated not long ago.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in
its issue of August 7, has the fol
lowing to say about the young
sourdough, who is making a name
for himself in the development of
Alaskan fisheries:
“Two new faculty members,
whose elections will be confirmed
at the meeting of the board of re-!
gents of the University of Wash-'
ington, to be held Friday, are Dr. .
Matthew Lyle Spencer, director of
the school of journalism, succeed- j
ing Colin V. Dvroent, who goes to
the University of Oregon, and Prof, j
Clarence Louis Anderson, who has
been appointed instructor in the fish- j
eries department and is now work- j
ing on the new laboratory which
the department is to have in one
of the naval reserve buildings, which
have been taken over by the uni
versity. Dr. Spencer is at present
teaching journalism at the L'niversi
ty of Wisconsin and expects to ar
rive in Seattle about the first of
September. He is a graduate of
Kentucky Wesleyan college and
took his doctors degree at the Uni
versity of Chicago. He has had
considerable newspaper experience,
besides teaching English in different
universities. His latest newspaper
experience was with the Milwaukee
Journal, on which paper he served
as reporter, copy reader, and chief
editorial writer.
“Prof. Anderson will be teaching
in his own university, having gradu
ated with the class of 1917. He
has had a good deal of practical
experience in the fishing industry
and has been laboratory instructor
in the university biological depart
ment. Since his graduation he has
been with the United States bureau
of fisheries, spending his summers
in Alaska, where he introduced the
Scotch cure for herring, and his
winters in California, studying the
canning and salting industries in
that distriet
“The university school of fisheries
is the only one in existence outside
of Japan. It began operation last
spring and indications point to a
large enrollment in that department
this fall. The buildings which the
department has taken over from the
naval reserve are being equipped
with up-to-date scientific apparatus
and the most modern machinery for
carrying on the various operations
connected with the preparation of
fishery products for use as food.
The director of the department,
John N. Cobb, is a man -with large
practical experience in the fishing
business, and it is his expectation
to develop his department to be of
great practical value to the fishing
industry of the Northwest.”
_
‘'Eat-em-up” Frank returned to
i his ranch up the river this morn
ing, after a brief business visit in
Nenana. He was a passenger on
the launch Victory.
DOG OWNERS, NOTICE!
Owing to the scarcity of fish and
the increased cost of other dog
feed, it will be necessary for me to
i
advance the monthly rate for feed
ing dogs from $4 to $7. Those hav
ing dogs at my place below Nenana
are hereby notified that I will rot
continue to feed dogs at the old rate
after September 10. The dogs must
be either taken away by that date
or left where they are with the un
dersanding that the board there
after will be at the rate of $7 per
month per dog. NELS STOL.
COBLENZ.—German manufactur- J
ers are planning to rehabilitate
their world trade by “a new policy.”
according to a writer in the Deutsch
er Handel Warte of Nuremberg. It
contemplates nothing less, he says,
than abandonment of the “flooding
of foreign countries with trashy
goods.”
Admitting that the outlook for
German exports is “unfortunate," in
view of the progress in manufactur
ing made by Japan, America, Eng
land and other countries, the belief
i is expressed that those nations are
so busy trying to increase their in
dustrial production that they are
becoming lax in the matters of
beauty, quality and price,
j “America seeks to drive Germany
from the world markets,” says the
j article. “The Entente concerns it
j self also with working against our
jexports in neutral countries. Yet
: all this cannot scare us. It is
(thereby made clear what boundless
j esteem exists for German manufac
tures in enemy countries. The goods
(which are best, most beautiful and
] cheapest will find their way into
i other lands.
j “Through improvement of our
j scientific methods our government
must promote German export busi
ness. The means are already at
hand. We possess research insti
tutes for coal, iron, leather, textiles
and food chemistry. We must step
farther along this road. Besides,
professional schools are to be im
proved in order to raise the general
; level of labor. Technique and sci
ence must work together to save the
raw material.
i “Already foreign firms are seek
i ing German goods. In Berlin a
German-American Merchandise Ex
change has been organized. A num
ber of American chambers of com
merce have raised the demand to •
renew business with Germany as
soon as possible. It is known that
in South America there is also
■lively need for German wares. The
sharp competition which is already
apparent between England and Am
erica will be profitable for our ex
ports. The ten-year-long relations
of our merchants with other coun
tries c-an build the bridge for our
i export trade.
“The earlier flooding of foreign
countries with trashy goods will
cease. We shall lay emphasis on
goods of quality, for only the best
■value products will henceforth gain
entrance to the world's markets. If
: peace and order can be restored
i in the Fatherland, then we need not
I be uneasy about the outlook for the
future.”
