UNOFFICIAL
STRIKE AMONG
BRITISH SEAMEN
LONDON—An unofficial strike has
broken out in London and elsewhere
and is threatening to spread and af
fect British ships in foreign ports, as
it already is doing in Australia, and is
making progress in Canadian ports.
According to reports the trouble arose
when the seamen repudiated the agree
ment signed with the employers. The
Daily Mail alleged that the strike was
stirred up by Communists. Already
a large number of Japanese vessels
are tied up as a result of the strike.

thought he would give her a
little about it, so he wrotioa:
“Dear Jessica: Dadica and Ma

but he doesn’t know whether
to get a Fordica or a Chivica.
The old cowica has had a calf

You affectionate brother, Tom

POPULAR GIRL, KETCHIKAN
PASSED AWAY RECENTLY
The many friends of Eloise Am
undsen were shocked recently to
hear of her death. Miss Amundsen,
who has lived in Ketchikan the past
10 years, was very well and favor
ably known there. She was promi
nent in her high school classes and
won much commendation as a mem
ber of the high school girls’ bas
ketball team.
Her cheerful spirit and willingness
to help out at all occasions won her
a host of admirers who will regret
her passing. During the final weeks
of school last spring she became ill,
and although she was able to com
plete the school yekr, her condition
became worse and several weeks
ago she was taken outside for special
treatment.
She is survived by her father and \
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Amund
sen, three brothers and two sisters,
all of whom live in Ketchikan.
REVIEW OF BIG
FOR ROTARIAN
ALFRED HOWE PRESENTED IN
TERESTING STATISTICS ON
HALIBUT INDUSTRY.
Reviewing the Pacific Coast hali
but industry from its beginning up
to the present time, says the Ketch
ikan Chronicle of recent date, Ro
tarian Alfred Howe gave an inter
ssting and informative talk at the
noon meeting of the Rotary club at
the Blue Fox today.
Mr. Howe said that whereas the
ndustry at first used small boats
or which $5,000 was considered a
arge price, larger and still larger
mats are being built until' recently
is high as $41,000 was paid for a
lory schooner. Long liners have
cost up to $2S,000 or more.
Mr. Howe estimated that at the
iresent time about 210 vessels and
L.500 men are engaged in the Pacific
lalibut industry of which about 1,
L00 men operate out of Ketchikan,
lie said that fishermen who have
leretofore made their homes in Se
ittle are moving to Ketchikan in in
creasing numbers and that many
nore would be likely to come here if
'acilities for tieing up boats for the
winter were proved.

BACK GIVES OUT?

Resident of this Locality.
Are you dragging along day after
lay with a dull, nagging backache?
Do you feel tired, lame and achy;
ufter sharp, torturing pains at every
udden move? Then look to your kid
itys! Colds, strains and overwork
veaken the kidneys and bring on
hiobbing backache and knil'e-like
winges. Don’t risk serious kidnev
lisease! Use Doan’s Pills—a sliwu
ant diuretic to the kidneys. Read
vhat a resident of this locality says:
Martin Varela, 466a Paris St., San
Francisco, Cal., says: “My back
lidn’t permit me to lift because it
vas sore and lame and took all I
:ould do to keep going. As I bent,
t seemed as though my kidneys
vere being pierced with a knife. I
lad to get up at night to pass the
cidney secretions and they burned
tnd were often heavily laden with
sediment. Doan's Pills cured me.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.

FISH TAGGING
IN SOUTH HAS
ODD RESULTS
CHINOOKS NUMBERED NEAR
BARCLAY OUND CAUGHT
IN COLUMBIA RIVER.
Ichthyologists are being forced
to revise their opinions with re
gard to the feeding grounds of Co
lumbia river Royal Chinook salmon
as result of the returns from the sal
mon-tagging experiments being con
ducted this summer by the interna
tional fisheries commission, accord
ing to a study of the returns of tag
ged fish, says the Astoria Budget.
Without an exception, tagged sal
mon caught in the Columbia river
of Oregon coastal waters this sum
mer were marked by the British Co
lumbia department of fisheries off
the coast of the province. No fish
have yet been taken bearing a tag
affixed by the Oregon or Washing
ton operations.
This would seem to indicate con
clusively that the salmon entering
the Columbia river, at least during
the present year, have made their
summer feeding grounds off the Brit
ish Columbia coast.
A report from the British Colum
bia fisheries department shows that
with two exceptions, all the tagged
salmon taken in Columbia river were
tagged and released off the coast of
Vancouver island, opposite Barclay
sound.
Practically all of the tagged fish
caught in the Columbia have been
Chinooks, although one or two sil
versides or cohoes, as they are
known to the northward, have been
recovered.
This, however, was to be expected,
as the great majority of the fish tag
ged by the British Columbia opera
tions were Chinooks with but a few
silversides marked.
The fish are caught at sea by
means of purse seines. Small metal
tags bearing serial numbers are fix
ed at the base of the caudal, or tail,
fin and fish are released.
Oregon students of the life and
habits of the salmon admit that they
are confused by the result of the
experiment, it not having been be
lieved heretofore that the Columbia
river Chinook fed to the northward
of the river.
It is significant that none of the
tagged fish recovered have been of
large size. This would seem to show
that the big Chinook either do not
feed to the north, or else make their
habitat farther off shore than the
tagged operations have been con
ducted.
