PHIL. ABRAHAMS
Established in 1897
l'ho probable income of
tl>« government from the
seal herd in th§ fiscal
year ending June 30 next, will be
upward of $760,000, according to
Hugh H. Smith, United States fisli
commissioner, and It will increase
s^eailily thereafter. It ig the be
lief of Smith that the time is coin
ing when the government will de
rive a net income of a million dol
lars a year from the herd without
any impairment of it.
In addition, there is the income
from foxes in Alaska, now amount
ing to about $60,000 a year. From
seals and foxes the government is
now making tjvo or three times as
much as is appropriated by Con
gress for the Alaska work of the
Department of Commerce.
The total number of seals estimate
ed to be in the heird in 1915, when
an olficial count was made was
36S.S72, as compared with 294,
6S7 in 1914, 268,305 in 1913, and
21l>,738 in 1912. The number in
191 li was 417,329.
Low .Mortality liatc
Iu 1912, 5,228 pups of the sea
sou were branded on, the Pribilof
Islands. Subsequent observations
made on these branded animals
have been productive of valuable
information la regard to the natur
al hit-tory and growth of seals.
Sonio of these animals were ob
served in 1913 they were noted in
largo numbers. Th^ number that
returned in 1915 was so large In
comparison with the total number
of goals under observation, as to
indica'e a lower mortality in the
first three years of a seal's life than
had ordinarily been assumed.
The plan of marketing the Beal
skins in tills country, Instead of
sending them abroad, has been a
marked success, according to gov
ernment experts, who point out
that a reliable market now exists at
St. Louis which is well supported.
This home market idea was first
given definite Impulse in 1915.
Seal and fox skins are now dressed
and dye I iu St. Louis, and the an
nual sales are attended by many
home buyers.
A cash balauce of $217,026.50
on LecembeT 31, 1916, is shown
iu the biennial report of W. G.
Smith, territorial treasurer, a copy
of which was 'received todafc- by the
Daily Alaskan. The items include
general fund, $196,344.58; fish
eries, $2,260.31; fore-st reserve,
$18,381.61.
Request is made by the treasur
er on the ground that "there seems
to be no further necessity for the
Fisheries fund," that he be au
thorized "to close it out into the
general fund."
These recommendations are
made: that tho schedulo imposing
a tax of teu dollars on attorneys,
doctors and dentists be so amended
as to make clear whether a firm
shall be taxed collectively or each
member be taxed; that th<j sched
ule imposing a tax of five dollars
on automobiles be so amended as
ty make definite whether there shal
bo a distinction based on the pur
pose for which automobiles are
used; that the fifteen dollar tax
on bakeries be either removed or
be graduated according to the
amount of business.
Recommendation is also made
that means be provided for enforc
ing the collection of the tax of
2 Ms cents a hundred pounds on all
fish sal*ed and mild cured, except
horr.'cg. Treasurer Smith states
that many Individuals and email
concerns are evading- this tax .
SAYS ARCTIC ALASKA
HAS COAX, OIL LAKE
Extensive coal ledges and a
gvea* lake of oil in Arctic Alaska
are reported by Alexander Smith,
according to the Fairbanks Citizen.
Mr. Smith is quoted as saying
that he wont through the Koyuk.uk
country as far as Pod lit. Barrow.
He said ten white people were
j living there. From there to Her
schel island, he said he saw no
I white men and met only seventy
naMves .
Though he described both the
coal and oil ag being of high qual
ity, Mr. Smith said he doubted thftt
either would become valuable on
account of their being in a nearly
inaccessible country.

Reindeer Clothes.
Garments made of reindeer sldn are
remarkable for their moisture resisting
capability as well as for their warmth.
The Ualr, unlike that of many animals,
Is not hollow throughout its length,
but is divided into watertight cells fill
ed with air, which appears to be under
compression, so that when the gar
ments are placed in water the hair
swells without breaking, and the wear
er is buoyed up and does not readily
sink if he falls overboard. Among
the Russians, Swedes and Norwegians
reindeer clothes are very common.
No Sentiment "or Jack.
Not every one Is imbued with senti
ment, as this story teaches: Fred Jane,
the writer on naval subjects, used to
tell of an old gentleman, au enthusi
astic member of the Navy lcague» who
visited Portsmouth ai:d looked at Nel
son's Victory, lying in the harbor. A
bluejacket passed The ol 1 gentleman
seized him ami pointed to the Victory.
"D'you know v.lim Unit ship means,
my man?" he exclaimed
"Rather." replied t..c blucjiuket. "It's
the old tub they hold courts mar
tial in."
WATCH YGiifl MEAT.
POLT.TUY sIkiuU Ik- carefully look
ed over before U'liig bought or
eaten. It should be yellow or
pink in uppearuuee and should have a
fresh odor, wish i S .•? skin unbroken.
Stale poultry becomes flabby.
The crop and abdomen become blu
•sh green, the eyes are sunken and the
skin pulls apart easily. A good way
iit tell a tender chicken is to test the
rigidity of Its breastbone. A tender
young chicken's breastbone Is soft and
bends under the finger, while the
breastboue of an older fowl is harden
ed and will not give under pressure.
Good pork must be solid, and Its
flesh must be pink and its fat pure
white. Never bay nor cat pork which
is soft and yellow. Bad veal is detect
ed by the soft, mushy, sticky appear
ance, while the fat has a grayish, lead
en color. The fat on fresh veal should
be firm and white- and lie smooth be
tween the muscles and surrounding
tissues. Lamb and mutton must also
be firm, with the fat white and hard.
Good beef Is of n rosy red. color,
with cream colored, firm, elastic fat It
should be scarcely moist to the touch
and should not be wet and flabby,
either pale or purple in color.
As soon as moat or fish comes from
the market it should be examined in
the folds and crevices to make sure In
truding flies have left no eggs behind
them. These are not only disgusting,
but dangerous. A wire safe in the cel
lar is a good place to hang meat. In
mutton or in lamb the marrow or soft
fatty substance should be taken from
the backbone, as also the thin mem
branes which appear under steals and
chops, as those decay quickly and are
therefore liable to taint the whole
piece. Never leave meat in paper, but
put at once on a clean plate, unless it
Is hung. Fish should not be laid di
rectly on artificial ice. as the ammonia
lsed is apt to combine wilh the fish
,ind cause ptomaine poisoning. Do not
cover meat or tish tightly before being
cooked and never cover cooked food
such as soups, meat and vegetables
ivhile still hot. I.et tliem cool as rap
Idly as possible, then cover. Rneons
and bams may be kept in any cool
place where there is plenty of cold air
n circulation about them to prevent
mildew. They are best hung protected

A UNIQUE RECORD
Ver* Few Like It la Our Broad Re
public
Grateful testimony for Doan's
Kidney Pills, published1 everywhere
is of Itself convincing evidence of
merit. Confirmed testimony forms
sMll stronger evidence. Years ago,
Mrs. Mason gratefully acknowledged
the benefit derived from Doan'a
Kidney Pills. The statement is
now confirmed—thfl proof mora
convincing. Cases of this kind
are plentiful in the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills—the record is unique.
Mrs. David Mason, 2715 Bast C.
St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "I had a
dull, heavy ache in my back and it
was lame and weak. Severe head
aches and dizzy spells were common.
The kidney secretions passed too of
fen and I always felt tired and
worn-out.. Doan's Kidney Pills rid
me cf the trouble." (Statement giv
en September 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915, Mrs. Ma
son said: "I have used Doan's
Kldne> Pills since last recommend
ing them and have found them just
as effective as in the past."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs, Mason, has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.,
