CLOSED SEASON
IS FAVORED BY
ALAS. FISHERMEN
VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 30. (£>)—
The whole halibut industry of the
coast is behind the international
treaty providing for a closed season
of three months of each year on the
halibut banks of the North Pacific,
W. A. Found, of Ottawa, director of
the Canadian fisheries service, de
clared here.
4‘It is a little early yet to deter
mine the effect of the closed season
which was in effect from November
16, 1924, to February 15, 1925,” he
said, ‘‘but it will be continued for
the same period for two more years
at least.”
Mystery Race Planes
To Enter U. S. Meet
LONDON, Oct. 30.—Secret tests of
the two mystery racing airplanes
w'hich the British hope to recapture
the Schneider trophy cup from Am
erica are being made.
The construction of the machines
has been closely guarded and but
few details regarding them have
leaked out. It is understood that
they are extremely diminutive in
size, but powered with special Na
pier engines of 450-600 horsepower.
Equipped with floats as seaplanes,
it is expected they will develop
speeds well in excess of 200 miles
an hour. They will be flown in the
American races by Captain Henri
Biard and Hubert Broad, with Birt
Hinkler, famous test pilot, accompa
nying as reserve pilot.
Angus McLeod, former resident of
Anchorage and for some time an in
mate of the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka,
w'as adjudged insane by a jury in the
U. S. Commissioner’s court at Sitka.
William Waechter, oldtimer of
the north, is reported to have died
at Port Angeles recently. He was
engaged in the meat business in
Dawson, Fairbanks and Nome and
has many friends thruout the north.

Game Wardens May
Search Automobiles
Without a Warrant
OLYMPIA, Oct. 30. (£>)— Pro
vided there is reasonable or
probable cause for believing
that an automobile contains
game birds or animals unlaw
fully taken, game wardens may
legally search such automobiles
without first procuring a search
j warrant, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral E. W. Anderson has inform
ed J. W. Seldon, prosecuting at
torney of Pierce county.
The opinion, which reverses
a former ruling of the attorney
general’s office, is based upon
a recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in a li
quor case in which the powers
of search and seizure •were en
larged in that distinction was
made between a dwelling
house, store or similar build
ing and motor boats, ships, or
automobiles, it was'pointed out.
ROMANIA ON THE
BRINK OIL BOOM
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Oct. 29.
(/P)—Roumania seems likely to expe
rience the greatest oil boom in her
history. The big well of the Rom
ano-American company, a subsidi
ary of the Standard Oil company,
which recently was on fire and burn
ed for 50 days with the destruction
of a millioiwlollars worth of crude
oil, today i™gushing 12,000 barrels
daily.
This well was the latest extension
in the Moren field and its bringing
in has revealed enormously rich
new strata in that region. It is
considered likely that deep drilling
will lead to the discovery of further
oil in large quantities.
BREWERSOPEN
BIG FIGHT FOR
MILD BEVERAGES
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. (/P)—The
United States Brewers’ association
yesterday announced inauguration of
“an open and honorable fight to le
galize the manufacture of 2.75 per

poin in legalizing the sale of non

Heating System Will
Be Installed In Cafe
No more shall the cold shiver at
Fisher’s Cafe, states the proprietor of
the popular eating house, for a special
heating plant has been ordered thru
the Seward Machine Co., and upon its
arrival from Seattle on one of the next
steamers, it will be installed immedi
ately. The local firm of Cal M. Bro
sius has been awarded the contract
for the carpenter work in connection
with the installation.
Henry Feldman, of the Fair
banks creek hard rock belt, is a
visitor in town, and reports present
conditions point to a prosperous
season next year in his district.
A 2600-foot tunnel has been com
pleted lately on the Crites & Feld
man property and they now have
500 feet of ore above them. They
expect to commence work early in

out the summer.
The Wackwitz brothers, Fred and
Charley, who have been working
a hard rock property on Bedrock
creek all summer, have suspended
their labors andf are heading for
the wild of the Beaver district,

COLONEL MITCHELL
A FORMER ALASKAN
Col. William Mitchell, storm cen
ter of the army aircraft controversy,
was formerly an Alaskan; that is,
he at one time, when Lieutenant
Mitchell, served with the- Signal
Corps in the Territory, in charge of
telegraph construction work, says the
Valdez Miner. The records of the
Valdez office of the Signal Corps con
tain no record of his service in the
North, but Mrs. Campbell, wife of
Sergeant J. M. Campbell, now in Val
dez, remembers Lieutenant Mitchell
being in Skagway in 1901, and that
he had been at Nome, St. Michael
and other points in Interior Alaska.
It is presumed that Lieut. Mitchell
had charge of the construction on
the telegraph line from "Eagle down
the Yukon river. The original line
from Valdez having been built to,
then the chief army post of the inte
rior. Later the interior headquarters
were removed to Fairbanks, and the
line to Eagle abandoned.
G. C. Henderson, manager of the
San Juan Fishing & Packing compa
ny, this district, accompanied by Mrs.
Henderson, were Seward arrivals to
day on the Yukon, .from Sawmill bay.
They depart for Seattle tomorrow'
night.
