WASTE ON HERRING—The Alas
ka Fisherman in its August number
makes some very serious charges
about the waste of herring that
should be investigated. It mentions
the names of several persons and
alleges that these dumped large quan
tities of herring into the bay. The
alert Petersburg Herald takes the
article in tow and has the following
to say editorially: “Herring as a food
fish is as valuable, or more so, than
salmon. It fine qualities are becom
ing known. It is being put up for
the market in increasing quantities
each year. Over $12,000 was this
season expended in Petersburg by
one firm alone for herring for the
middle western market. The ‘Fish
erman’ claims that “Dago” fishermen
from the Outside, fishing fro the fer
tilizer plants have been dumping
herring overboard. These charges
should not be allowed to pass un
noticed by the authorities. Now is
the time to begin to conserve the
herring—not after it has gone the
way most of the salmon have gone.”
The airplane returned to Fair
banks recently from McGrath where
it had gone early in the week with
Harry Carter. The following day
Noel Wein went to Brooks with a
passenger and brought back to Fair
banks three, Billy Mahan, Sam God
frey and Nicholas Lefenson.

DETAILS OF
TRAGIC DEATH
REACH DAWSON
Fred Johnston Arrives with
Story of Drowning of
H. B. Iseman./
BIS CANOE WAS UPSET
Party Was Relaying Some
Launches Over Rough
Waters.
(From the Dawson News)
Details of the tragic fate which be
fell Harry B. Iseman while on a trip
up the Pelly river reached Dawson
by Fred Johnston, who brought
down Iseman’s launch. Johnston, who
was one of the members of the par
ty which had to swim for life, states
that he and partners were relaying
the launches over swift water in the
MacMillan. One launch had already
been carried above the rough water,
and Iseman, Envoldsen, Billy Silas
and Johnston were returning in a
canoe to get the other launch. The
canoe had negotiated the bad water,
but as it was rounding the bow of
the launch, which was tied up at a
small island in the river the canoe
capsized and threw the four men
into the rushing stream on the out
side of the launch. Johnston made
for the Uunch, while Silas and En
voldsen hit for the shore. Johnston
states that after he had reached the
boat he saw Iseman in the distance,
and, after starting the engine, he
started after him, but the body dis
appeared before he could reach the
spot and was never seen again. For
two days the downhearted compan
ions tried to locate the body, but
without avail. Johnston states that
Iseman was wearing a pair of large
rubber hip boots at the time( and he
thinks that they were the reason for
the man not being able to help him
self.
The place where the tragic acci
dent occurred is a spot about forty
miles up the MacMillan where the
water is very swift and deep and
where the river is fairly wide. With
Johnston, Dan Gleeson, Fred Envold
sen, F. Jackson and Billy Silas, Har
ry Iseman was making the trip up
that river with his launch carrying
supplies for the other men who were
on a prospecting trip and who were
being led by Billy Silas, who had
reported a new gold find in that
region.
The death of Hary Iseman comes
as a severe shock to Dawson. Born
in Butler, Pa., he came to this coun
try in 1901 and for a number of
years was engaged in mining in the
Klondike. Following his mining ac
tivities he made a trip into the low
er river country after which on his
return he became connected with
the Klondike Mines Railway and
ever since the closing of that road
he had handled the business affairs
of that company in Dawson right up
until lrts death. Mr. Iseman had
held several high office positions in
Dawson, being a man of much abil
ity and a chartered accountant. He
was accountant for Burrall and Baird
Limited a few years ago, from which
company he became connected with
the Yukon Gold Company, which
position he retained until the first
of January, when he again was ap
pointed to the staff of Burrall and
Baird. Mr. Iseman was held in high
esteem by everybody who knew him
and especially in the Masonic lodges,
where he held 'high offices. He was
a member of the Dawson Shriners
Club and his loss from their ranks
takes away a valuable member.
Harry Iseman had always taken an
active interest in the mining game
in the North and had always been
in touch with mining companies on
the outside who had implicit faith
in his business ability. He was
a man of quiet manner and much
! charm who loved the out-of-doors and
who delighted in his books. Every
one who knew him was his friend,
| while his quiet and calm demeanor
had won for him a large circle of
friends and acquaintances. For the
last several years he had taken a
keen interest in motorboating, while
he was always fond of hunting and
' being on the -water. He had made
; many trips with his fast launch up
and down the Yukon an<1 oQ jtE9 @49
streams, and his careful manner of
handling a boat had often won rec
ognition from his passengers. That
he should meet with such a tragic
death is very sad and the sympathy
of lal Dawson and vicinity goes out
to his widow and relations who mourn
his loss. Mr. Iseman was fifty years
of age and leaves, besides his wid
ow in Dawson, Gladys Iseman, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. McKeen,
his mother, father, three brothers and
a sister. With the sad death of such
a capable and well known man Daw
son has lost one of its most cher
ished citizens, a man whose calm
judgment and established ways plac
ed him among the number of indivi
duals who lived as a governor in
the human wheel of progress. His
death is a decided loss to the com
munity and in the departed man the
North ha3 lo3t one of it3 strongest
supporters.
