GAME LAWS ARE
QUOTED BENEFIT
TO LOCAL HUNTERS
For the benefit of those wishing
to know the Alaska game regulations j
the following portion from the Game i
Laws is printed by the Alaska 1
Game Commission. The season for ;
hunting ducks and geese opened Sep- i
tember 1. '
A resident Alaskan, who is an ■
American citizen or one who has
taken out his first papers within
the past seven years, does not re- j
quire a hunting license this year.
A jion-resident who has not been
a year in Alaska, but is an Ameri
can citizen will be required to pro
cure a $10 license to shoot small
game, including geese and ducks.
It is absolutely unlawful for an
alien, to own or be possessed of a
shotgun, rifle or other firearm, ex
cept under an alien special license,
issued thru the Alaska game com
fnission.
One Alabama newspaper puts it
this way: “If you like our paper,
tell the world: if you don’t like it,
keep your fool mouth shut.”
As we understand it, it is hate
ful of Germany to send fighters to
Morroco, but noble of America to do
it.

COLLEGE CHEMISTRY
IS OUTLINED FOR
COMING SEMESTER
_ , * : ■
The earth, with everythin:? upon
t, is composed of the chemical ele
ments. Upon the nature of these ele
ments and their multifarious combin
itions we depend for the possibil
ity of existence; without them, the
miverse, as we conceive it, would be
roid.
Thus chemistry possesses a funda
mental^ shared only by physics; to
gether these branches of the great
doctrine of matter and energy deal
with the underlying structure of
things. All our bodily life rest3 on
this foundation. Upon it all other
sciences are built, because they are
concrened with occurrences in na
ture which are based upon, the chem
ical elements and the chemical and
physical laws governing these ele
ments.
It is scarcely necessary to point
out the practical value of the sci
ence. The present attainments in
medicine are largely due to prog
ress in chemistry. The production
and intelligent use of fertilizers have
a highly important bearing on the
yield of agricultural products. Ex
amples of the dependence of indus
try on chemistry are seen every
where: in dyes, soap, glass, steel,
paints, and rubber—to mention a few
of the most necessary products upon
which our civilization depends. Chem
istry is one of the prime agencies
for utilizing most effectively all our
natural resources, and when such
treasures as petroleum are irretriev
ably gone, the task of providing sub
stitutes will fall upon trained chem
ists.
The College offers a course lead
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Sci
ence in Chemistry. This course not
only is designed to impart a knowl
edge of the principles of the science,
but also is planned to cultivate spir
it and habit and to teach methods of
scientific observation and reasoning.
With these ends in view, the stud
ent is instructed in the theory of
analytical,, organic, and physical
chemistry; and is required to spend
a large part of his time in laboratory
work. The graduate from this course
will be fitted to specialize in any
branch of, chemistry intelligently
and can take up further work in
medicine or other allied sciences.
The department of chemistry also
offers subjects pertinent to the needs
of students majoring in other de
partments.
General Inorganic Chemistry is re
quired of all Freshmen selecting the
technical courses. This is a basic
lecture course with experiments and
.recitations, supplemented by labora
tory work. It deals with the funda
mental laws and theories of chemis
try; the metals, metalloids, and
their compounds.
History of Chemistry might well
be classed among the humanities, as
it is the aim of this course to install
an appreciation of the spirit of pure
science for science’s sake. Lectures
and assigned readings lead the stud
ent to a consideration of the prob
lems which beset early chemists,
their experiments, the rigor ot their
logic, their inductive and decluct.ve
thinking, and their -nevitable con
clusions.
Qualitative Analysis and Stoichio
metry are Sophomore courses desigii
ed to develop laboratory technique
and a comprehensive gVasp of the
practical applications to fundamental
stoichiometrical laws to chemical
calculation.
Quantitative Analysis is offered in
1 the Junior year. This is primarily a
laboratory course, and involves the
accurate quantitative determination
of chemical compounds, ore's, alloys
fuels, etc. A shorter course is de
signed for students of Mining and
Agriculture. To exemplify the prag
matical aspect of these courses; by
a combination of effort among the
students enrolled in them during the
spring semester of the past year, the
complete analysis of a local post de
posit was made and checked—a wort
involving more than seventy separ
ate determinations.
Organic Chemistry, a laboratory
and lecture course dealing with the
typical carbon compounds of the
straight chain and cyclic series; anc
• Industrial processes in the manufac
ture of the common acids, alkalies
and salts, glass, ceramics, paints, ce
: ment, rubber, petroleum products, anc
the like; are al3o open to Juniors.
Physical Chemistry, Qualitative Or
ganic Analysis, and a Thesis Course
or under-graduates complete the sub
jects listed in the department, but
it may be possible to arrange as elec
tives special subjects not list. The
2lose contact between teacher and
students makes possible a choice of
work suited to individual needs, and
insures individual attention.
Wm. D. Coppernoll, Attorney
Departs for the East; Been
To States Every Year, 1912
..—
William D. Coppernoll, one of the
best known attorneys in the Terri
tory of Alaska, and who for many
years has maintained legal offices
in Seward, will be among the local
residents who will depart for the
States on the steamer Northwestern
which is scheduled to depart tomor
row evening.
Since 1912, Attorney Coppernoll
has made 15 trips East to visit his
family and relatives, most of whom
reside in New York and at Washing
ton, D. C. In fact he has been Out
side every year, he states, since
1912 and on two different occasions,
twice in one year. He does not an
ticipate being absent from his locaL
office for more than two months.
FIRST REPORTS
RECEIVED FROM
TAGGED SALMON
' _u_i ' l: 1
While few returns of tags taken
from salmon marked during the pres
ent season by the Bureau of Fish
eries have been received, the indi- s
cations are that the Bureau will gain i
much valuable information regarding
the movement of salmon runs from
this source. From one cannery alone
the local office of the bureau has v
received 31 tags, says the Empire of
recent date.
The Libby cannery at Taku is the
only one reporting up to the present
time. Between July 9 and August 8,
it found 31 salmon baring tags
marked with the official tag of the
Bureau of Fisheries. It is believed
that several hundred of the tagged
fi3h were taken- by the various can
neries on which complete data was
secured.
Of the 31 reported by the Taku
Harbor plant, 25 were caught in traps
and six in gill nets. Thirteen of the
fish were taken in Frederick Sound
and 13 in Icy Straits, all in traps
Five were taken in gill nets in Taku
Inlet. Full reports, showing the
places where the fish were tagged
and the point taken will be released
by the Bureau after the fishing sea
son _ in this district is ended.

Dr. J. A. Jackson and brother, J. W.
Jackson, both of Madison, Wis., were
among the prominent arrivals on the
steamer Northwestern this morning
on the Northwestern. Dr. Jackson is
a member of the medical staff of the
University of Wisconsin and J. W.
Jackson was a Lieutenant colonel dur
ing the wrorld war. For some months
he was stationed at Camp Lewis as
remount officer. They will depart for
the interior, probably on Monday,
thence into Fairbanks and back to the
