Hatchery Men Transferred;
H. F. Starr to Relieve Drager
Travel orders were received this
1 week by Supt. Drager for himself and
Hatchery Assistant J. C. Bush. Mr.
Rush will leave for Ketchikan imme
diately following Mr. Starr’s arrival
in Seward, while Mr. Drager will wait
over a week to acquaint Mr. Starr
with the station and the proposed
plans for next season’s operations
Mr. Starr, who coined here from the
Ketchikan hatchery, has been with the
commission for several years; pre
vious to his assignment to the Ketch
ikan station he was hatchery foreman
at the Juneau station, which has
since been abandoned. Mrs. Starr and
children will either arrive on the
same boat or one soon after. The old
er of the two boys will take over the
duties of hatchery assistant tempo
rarily.
Mr. Drager informed the Gateway
that he had received no definite in
sturctions as to what his new assign
ment would be but thought that it
would probably be in charge of the
new field station at Duke’s island,
where there is being constructed a
large salt-water feeding pond for the
feeding of young salmon fry. This
work (the feeding of young sal
mon fry in salt water feeding ponds)
is one of the most far-reaching steps
in the propagation of salmon that has
been taken in years, and is the direct
result of the experiments carried on
last year by the Alaska Territorial
Fish Commission under the direct su
pervision of Supt. of Hatcheries, Ed
win Wentworth. These experiments
proved the plan feasible, and the re
sults obtained in rapid growth were
remarkable. Salmon fry placed in the
salt water feeding pond June 2 had
attained the length of eight inches by
August 21, less than three months
j later. This work has attracted con
siderable attention from the people
interested in fish propagation and
conservation. The Pacific Fisherman
in one of their issues devoted consid
erable space to the work and gave
the Territory due credit.
Seward loses two good citizens in
j Mr. Drager and Mr. Bush. Both have
j made a wide circle of friends while
here, and it is with deep regret we
chronicle the change.
A young Miss from Mississippi won
a contest in Chicago as the healthiest
farm girl, by a score of 99.44 per
cent. Ivory soap has nothing on
her.
Most men have a passionate desire
for truth which does not conflict with
their preconceivable notions.
As we understand it, in the next
war Uncle Sam and John Bull will
be allowed to win five battles each
and Japan only three.

Portland School Girl

(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Miss Julia
j Groo, 18, of Portland, Ore., has been
awarded a $15,000 model home as
i first prize in a home lighting essay
contest in which 1,000,000 school
children in the L'nited States and
Canada compel01 the Lighting Edu
cational committee announced here j
the other day.
Ten other boys and girls received

1,000 Marriage Brokers
are Operating in Berlin
BERLIN, Jan. 15.—Berlin is a city
of matchmakers. Recent statistics
show that there are no fewer than
$1,000 marriage brokers engaged in
finding life partners for men and wo
men here.
The brokers are apparently di
vided into three classes—first class
brokers, who only deal with clients
of high social standing; brokers of
the second class, who handle the
love affairs of the middle classes;
and the third class brokers, who
deal only with the working classes.
One of the leading brokers, a
woman with an “upper class” fol
lowing, boasts of having made thirty
three successful matches in three
years.
It seems that most of the marriage
brokers’ dents are women with
dowries whose beauty does not
equal the charms of their pocket
boks.
