JAPS DEPORTED
ON SAMPSON
Inmates of Local Federal Jail or
First Leg of Long Journey
to Native Country
The four seal poachers win
were captured by the rcvenui
cutter Manning a year ago la.sl
August will leave on (he Sampson
in charge of Immigrant Inspectoi
Domeanus Maskeyviczius as un
desirables, and will be shipped Ic
Japan on one of Ihe lirst boats
having Seattle for the island
kingdom.
The pri oners have just com
pleted serving out the fine of $1,
000 imposed upon them by the
commissioner at Unalaska less
the deduction for good time.
At the time of the capture the
Manning sighted several small
boals about dusk poaching on the
islands, but all succeeded in mak
ing a getaway in Ihe darkness
but the one boat.
The islands are raided almost
every year by poachers after the
guard maintained by the cullers
leave. The small boats row in
from Ihe ship ami in one even
ing kill several hundred of the
helpless f»eals. Sealing has been
a profit able industry for many
years for American, English and
Wapanese, but at the time of the
treaty between England and the
United Slab's sealing within 50
miles of the islands was prohib
ited. In spite of this law last
year tin- five Canadian sealing
vessels returned to Victoria with
an average catch 'of 000 |o Hie
boat, supposedly captured 50
miles from Ihe islands. All Ihft
boals were late returning to Vic
toria. No American boats are
riMW in IV ser-t bus tiess.
Owing to Ihe Japanese govern
ment having joined the United
Slates and England in a new
treaty all Japanese citizens will
be prevented from sealing in
Bering sea, a< are Ihe citizens
of the other treaty countries. The
Japanese government has made
payments to all ils citizens for- the
loss of occupation. Captain* of
sealing vessels receive $500 and
sealers $800 each, the captains
receiving less, as the government
figured they had more chance for
work in their lines than Ihe hunt
ers. w hose business hn< been wip

Ask any doctor yon know. Yaldez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Yaldez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
