TOO MUCH STOMACH TROUBLE.
Too many Alaskans are suffering
stomach trouble to have the epidem
ic due to chance. From Cape Nome to
Ketchikan the old sourdough who has
lived in the Territory for a decade or
more, is being forced to hie himself
to Mayo Bros.’ for a new lining for
an organ which once could digest a
steady diet of sourdough hot cakes and
other comestibles. Prominent diag
nosticans of Seattle claim that this
relapse of a once robust organ is
caused by a prolonged diet of canned
goods. It is declared that after these
goods remain in the can from five to
twenty years they absorb more or
less tin from the inside of the can, and
it is this metallic acid which acts upon
the mucous membrane of the stom
ach.
Which may be true to a certain ex
tent, as the average Alaskan family
uses a vast quanity of tinned meats,
vegetables and soups, the good wife
refusing to allow culinary duties to
interfere with her social enjoyments.
Down in the Sunny South we never
heard of a man wearing out his stom
ach with corn pone and hominy, and
while a majority of the inhabitants
measured six feet the long way they
average six inches through, due to pel
lagra. ground itch and goobers. A
man must die some time, and how can
he die a more noble death than a
martyr to the canned goods habit?
According to statisticians ten thou
sand Alaskan wives are working for
Mayo Bros, this fair day of our Lord,
with their daughters following in
mamma’s footsteps so far as being
graduates in a tinshop.
In, the good old days when the fam
ily flour sacks were used to patch
the youngster’s britches, or make un
derwear for the feminine portion of
the household the stomach seldom
troubled one save at meal times. It
was an obedient servant and worked
24 hours a day on whatever was set
before it. It grew and thrived and
at times became embarrassing on ac
count of its size. Today the stomach
is used as a cesspool for foods that
were probably placed in tins about the
Spanish War period.
Which goes to show that a man
may be ever so healthy and receive
his death sentence at the hands of
his best beloved.

Closing Order Issued.
“Proceeding to Bristol Bay I found
the run at Naknek and on the Kvi
chak side of the bay a failure. I
immediately wired to Washington for!
a closing order for that side of the
bay so as to permit the remainder j
of the run to go on, unhampered, to
the spawning beds. On the Nusha
gak bay side the run was normal
and very good packs are being put
up there but some of the cannery
companies transferred their boats
from Naknek to this area and as it
was feared the escapement would
be seriously impaired by this action,
I secured a closing order for this
area, which took effect at 6 p. m.
July 18, and penalizing the compa
nies who increased their gear on
this side of a week’s fishing.
Seals Are Increasing,
“We visited the Pribilof Islands and
found the seal herd in excellent con
dition this year. The census 'will
show over 850,000 animals on the
rookeries. It is estimated 20,000
seal skins will be taken from the
herd this year, an increase of about
4,000 over the take of last year.”
Visit Many Ports.
The party of prominent people de
parted from Bellingham for the
North on the steamship Catherine
D, of the Pacific American Fisheries
fleet, sailing direct for Port Moller.
Stops were made at Squaw Harbor,
King Cove, Ikutan, St. Paul and St.
George Islands and Bristol Bay.
Members of Commission
Congressman Wallace H. White
and A. M. Free, are both members
of the committee on marine and
fisheries. In view of the broad pow
ers it conveys, much is expected from
the White Fish Conservation meas
ure in Alaska, Mr. O’Malley admit
ted. He said the White bill gives
the fisheries bureau great discretion
ary powers, but though he has high
hopes of its utility, he asserted that
it will take four or five years to de
termine how effective it is. Com
missioner O’Malley has been engag
ed in fisheries since a boy. He an
nually makes a trip to Alaska in or
der to keep in closer touch with the
industry which he is firmly convinc
ed is the Territory's largest asset
and the most vital problem.
