AGENT WINN OF
ALASKA FISHERIES
GOES TO SEATTLE
BUREAU OF FISHERIES AGENT
COMPLETES WORK OF SEA
SON—LEAVES ALASKA
With all work completed for the
season, Dennis Winn, Alaska Agent
for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries,
left Juneau recently, says the Empire
on the last Victoria for Seattle. He
will be absent from Alaska for the
next three or four months, returning
before the opening of the 1926 sal
mon fishing season.
No information has yet been re
ceived at the bureau’s offices rela
tive to next year’s fisheries regula
tions, Mr. Winn said. It is almost
certain that some changes will be
made from the existing regulations.
Commissioner O’Malley has been at
work on these for some time and it
was expected he would 'be in posi
tion to make next year’s public some
time next month.
Mr. Winn will spend several weeks
in the Seattle office working up ad
ditional data on the bureau’s work of
the past season, compiling statistics
on the season's pack and preparing
for the 1926 program of the Alaska
field forces. These will probably be
augmented by additions to stream
guards and patrols insuring better
protection for salmon spawning
streams.

Mannequins Taught To
Strut and Glide Pose
PARIS, Nov. 27. (/P)— It was the
Mock Turtle in “Alice of Wonder
land” who studied “reeling and
writhing” in his underseas school.
Paris is going to do the Mock
Turtle one better in a school for
mannequins, where “pausing and
posing, and strutting and gliding”
will form part of the curriculum
this fall.
Less mysteries in their nature
are the simple physical exercises to
keep the girls’ figures trim and
neat—the instruction in the art of
“wearing f.urs” and initiation into
the secret of “showing off” a gown.
The course requires from IS to 30
lessons.
BIG NUKA BAY MILL
CLOSES FOR WINTER
The season of heavy snows ap
proaching was the signal three days
ago for the big quartz mill of the
Alaska Hills Mines Corporation at
Nuka Bay to cease operations for
the winter. The mine crews have
returned to Seward with the excep
tion of two men, Jim Foster and Jno.
Rice who will remain on the
property over the winter doing de
velopment work and getting out mine
timber. The mill will start grind
ing again May 1, 1926, it is stated.
Among those who returned to Se

to remain in Seward over the wunter
months or take a trip to the States;
Mr. Coffey is staying in Seward for
a while. Otis E. Harrington, a mem

BIG FUTURE IN
DAIRYING HERE,
SAYS NSPECTOR
FEDERAL INSPECTOR OF HERDS
PRAISES INDUSTRY IN
THE TERRITORY
Some day, and not so far off, Alas
ka will be a great dairying country,
in the opinion of Dr. Robert Jay,
Federal livestock inspector, assign
ed by the U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry to inspect dairy herds and
plants in the Territory. He has just
completed a trip which carried him
from Juneau as far west as Kodiak,
into Kenai Peninsula, the Anchorage
district, Matanuska Valley, over the
Alaska Railroad to Fairbanks, down
as far as Holy Cross on the Yukon
River and back to Fairbanks, then
out to Copper Center, Chitina, Mc
Carthy, Kennecott and Cordova.
“Nowhere in the wrorld can some
of the areas I have seen be sur
passed for dairyfarming,” declared
Dr. Jay. “Some day there will be
developed in the Territory a really
big dairying industry.”
Dr. Jay said he found the dairy
herds already inspected equal in
quality to those in the States. He
also found that from a standpoint
of health they compare favorably
with dairy stock anywhere. “I found
remarkably few diseased animals in
the herds. Those found to be suf
fering from infectious diseases were
almost invariably animals recently
shipped into Alaska from the States
and not stock carried over from for
mer inspections,” he added. He added
the territory needed a more rigid
law requiring official health cer
tificaates for animals brought in for
dairy purposes.
Having completed his work in west
ern and interior Alaska, Dr. Jay will
begin inspecting dairy herds in this
vicinity at once, says the Juneau Em
pire. He will be in Southeastern Al
aska for several weeks before re
turning to his home in Sacramento.
