Word lias been received' that

l.e'irlnss in Juneau beginning May
■19. it will consider the questions

tures of the service rendered «>}"
th® p'eamship companies, emd> the
question as to whether or not Ameri
can Tessels caa give the people
adequate facilities for the movement
of fish from Alaska *o the Sound.
T:i this connection arguments in
lavor of permitting' Canadian ves
t's to enter the Alaskan trade Will
be heard.
[*, is very desirable that all
Chose wiio have complaints, or rea
sons wby freight"rates should be re'
duced, or arguments to present in
iavtr ct a better transpotation ser
vice, or anything or nature or kind
whatsoever in connectioa with, ship
ping to suggest, should prepare to
oresent their needs and desires at
thesj bearings. It is certain that
the disposition of thq Shipping
jBoar<i is to give the people a
square deal, but it & not likely that
any further hearings will l>e giv
en for a long time. These bear
ings have beet* set because there
has Deen so much, said concerning
these matters, and out of & desire
tj se<ure accurate Information. This
Is one great chance th» people
of Alaska have bad, and1 they
should make the most of it. — Ju

The United States is making every
e'lort to cement the friendship of
the Allied nations in. the great con
f» ct, and with that end in view,
the entrance of Italy'as an ally in,
tbe war against Germany is to be
ooserved throughout the Nation.
1>e following telegram was xecenr
by the Alaskan last evening'.
Juneau, May 15.—To The Press,
—I have just received' the follow
ing te'egram:
"For your information, May
twenty-fourth, anniversary of Italy's
enf-auce into the war, will be cele
brated throughout the United
States as "Italy Bay.' Everyone
will be asked to wear a flower and
write *o friends in Italy on that
day as a sign of appreciation of
what Italy hs. done. We will hold
mass meeting in New York to ex
i>!ess Americran. friendship. The
piesideut of the United States has
kindly consented to act as patron
of the celebration. We hope that
you will see your way clear to
direct public attention to the cele
bration in your cty. Kindly wire
fully any action taken."
"CHAS. K. HUGHES,
"President Itlay-Americau Society,
"165 Broadway, New York."
Tt is my wish that this request
be complied with as fully as pos-,
•?!ly)e and that the day mentioned be
on?erve(t as far as possihle.

BELUGAS DRIVEN TO
SHORE BY THRASHERS
A .herd of five hudnred Beluga
•vhal.es flashing white in the sun
light as they described graceful
arcs above the surface, fleeing
front deep water in the middHa of
C.o«k Inlet to the shoal waters of
Haiiotit cove in an effort to es
cape from the vicious charges of a
si hooi of thrashers, was the un
usual sight that greeted the eye
of Keith McCullough several weeks
ago as he was engaged in the
fish'ng industry in Kaohemak bay
neir HaJbtit cove.
J'he school or tftrasners came in
from the open sea and spotted the
her;* of belugas as they were play
fully riding 'be 'Raters in the inlet
opposite Seldoria. With, lightning
rapidity the thrashers attacked the
h ?rj and destroyed two or thee
ois bulls before the latter were
ar.I« to reach, the shallow waters
sear the short, along1 which a reef
rang for a distance of several miles.
Once in the ahoe.1 waters the white
wha.es could be plainly observed and
as long as the thrashers remained
in the inlet the whaies continued
to lemain in their retreat.
The sight of the big number (if
waa!es so close in has never be
fore been noted even by the old
es» inhabitant of Seldovia, said«
Mr. McCuJIough.
Thrashers are the real sharks
of the sea and their only purpose
seems to be to attack and destroy
other fish. They can only at
tai.K their prey from beneath, and
='.>usrquiently require deep water
fcr their murderous activities. The
whales are evidently advised, of
ihis lact and no sooner Js a thrash
er noted than the whale immediate
ly swim a for shallow water. But
this is the first time, say old resl
letts. of the Seldovia country,
that a herd of the whales
ias ever been chased into the
waters of Halibut cove.—Anchorage
