THE ALASKANS
Alaskans are great travelers. They sure are. They come with the
grass in the spring time and leave with the geese and the ducks in the fall.
The hotel keepers in Seattle wear diamonds and live on truffles and pate de
fole gras in the spring and fall and send their wives to Europe through the
summer on Alaskan money. Alaskuns do not ask what tthe fare is from;
here to.Seattle. but inquire what the waiter costs. They tip lavishly and
unwisely and return C. O. D. The money spent by our first families in
keeping up the palatial line of steamers would pay off t'.e territorial d>'bt
ud prov,de a handsome war bonus for our disabled soldiers.
Alaskaus are noted for their fine display of nugget jewelry and for
giving four bus for twenty cents worth of service. They may also be dis
tinguished by their ore samples. When Seattle was discovered by Jim
Hill in 1S97, it was rebuilt and furnished by Alaska money. At this time
it was a sleepy little village, and so slow that when a boat arrived, the
steamer captains sent their whistles in by mail a day or so ahead of time s(>
that the citizens would have time to get down to the wharf. Things have
changed now. The town is up and coming, it has the finest system if
^ruftlug in the United Slates, and a patent office clerk Is kept busy filing
improvements The hotel clerks have got so whenever they sec a fur coat
and nugget pin, they jerk down hard ou the trusty Burroughs and yell.
"Fry two." Then the guest is given a back room, top floor for fear the
unusual noises will keep him awake. Seattleites have the notion that A<
a-^aus sleep with their clothes ou to keep from taking a bath. Every wo
nit-n clerk thinks she is the flrst female he has seen for a score of years,
and restaurant keepers hunt up Urn imaginary diet of hot cakes and beans.
By the time* the visitor has overcome these notions he is ready to return
north m the spring.—Seward Gateway.
BOAT SAVED BV FREAK
TRICK OF HUGE ICEBERG
Hiding dry on the top of an Ice
berg. wnich suddenly broke from the
bottom, letting the bout into the
water, free from injury, was the ex
perience of Capt. Jack Hadland on
his boat White Bear, Tuesday, last,
at >11 o'clock at night, while oif
Woody Spit, coming out from Snri
dum.
The White Bear is on the Juueau
I'etersberg mall route and Sumdum
is one of the poru touched on the
route. Captain Hadland said the
night he struck the iceberg was
black and foggy. The tide was ruu
nitig out about Ave miles an iiour
and it was difficult to hold the
cvurse. He had just ' taken the
wheel while off Woody Spit, when
tie boat wai suddenly jolted, theu
slid along the surface of an iceberg.
Tne berg raised out of ui water
about seven to?; he said, and then
started to slij over ou oae side.
At the same time i> began tj crack
on tue bottom and quukiy and
quietly split op?u. and the White
Hear went do*u ic the opeuing mid
rest-id safely on the water, with two
walls of ice rising about six feet on
each side.
"1 want to tell you it didu't take
us long to ,-et >ut from hoi<vee.n
th'-«e two wails of ;te." said Cap
tain Hadland. ' Wueji we were clear
we looked the bout over and found
it had suffe'Jd ao iaiuries except a
few scratched be;o v the waterline
It was so dark we were unable to de
termine the si..«j of the berg hut it
was huge.
"1 have never known of a sim
ilar experience in all the years I
have been on the sea. Had it not
been that the side of the berg we
struck sloped considerably and with
no jagged joint the boat would
uLdoubtedly have been smashed and
those aboard drowned.
"The White Bear Is certainly a
'bear' for standing rough handling
when it could come through treat
ment it received when we hit that
berg."
Captain Hadland said the waters
below Juneau are filled with ice
bergs and the dark foggy nights
mak. navigation difficult and dan
gerous.—Juneau fimpire.

PHONES TO BECOME
RADIO RECEIVERS
Everett, Wash., Oct. IS.—Tele
phones in Everett, already equipped
with a device which measures con
versation. are to be made into wire
less receiving stations through the
use of an attachment supplied by the
Puget Sound Telephone Co., an in
dependent corporation which serves
this city.
To hear concerts, news bulletins
and other features thrown onto the
air by broadcasting stations of Se
attle. 30 miles from here. Everett
r«dio fans, who also are telephones
subscribers, will simply hook their
radio receiving sets onto the at
tachment, which is known as the
radio adapter, and which will fit
into the telephone bell box. Ex
pensive aerials and wiring will not
be needed.
In addition to supplying the adap
ter, the telephone company, work
ing with the Seattle Kadio Assica
tion. will mail to its radio sub
scribers weekly programs of the
broadcasting stations and wll collect
$5 a year from each fan to defray
the cost. The Senttle association
hopes to have telephones in all
other cities within a radius of 100
miles, equipped with toh adapter.
The conversation-measuring de
vice. which, it is said, is not used
anywhere else in the world, has
been operated here for eight
months and enables the company
to charge for the telephone serv
ice according to the length of the
conversations.
When many residents found that
the device, called the telechromo
roeter. increased uieir monthly bills,
they protested to the State Depart
ment of Public Works, which held
a meeting September 6, to decide
whether the affair must be aban
doned. In the meantime 629 Ev
erett residents have signed appli
cations for new telephones to be
installed if the machine is given up.
Friends of the telechromoineter.
say that some of the opposition was
caused by the fact that it made
"listening-in" on party lines cost
just so much for every minute the
telephone receiver is off the hook.
The Woman's club will debate the
question "Should Women Serve on
the Jury" at their meeting at the
Social Center at S o'clock. All Skag
way women are Invited to attend
this meeting wheLher or not thsy are
members of the club.

2 Resolutions
Are Passed By
Fish Industry
At a meeting of the American
Fisheries' Society, held last month
in Madison, Wis., two resolutions
were pusseo relating to Alaskan flsh
eries matters. One of these was in
connection with salmon spawning
streams said to be involved in proj
ects (or development of pulp mak
ing resources and the other the pro
posal of the Department of Com
merce to extend the present limits
of the Alaska Peninsula fisheries
reserve.
I'ower i«n<l Pulp Projects.
The lirst mentioned resolution, as
it appeared In the current number
of the Pacific Fisherman, follows:
"Whereas, there are several pro
posed water power developments in
Alaska involving either the erection
of dams for power or for pulp mills
on salmon canning streams, in Al
aska; and
"Whereas, it is known that the
Federal Power Commission is from
time to time granting preliminary
permits for the erection of such
dams: and
power sites and paper mill .sites is
likely to result first, in the removal
of the forests on the water-sheds of
salmon spawning streams: secondly,
iu obstructing the streams by dams
so as to more or less effectively
prevent the ascent of salmon to the
spawning beds. and. thirdly, the con
sequent serious poisonous chemicals
discharged by pulp mills; and
"Whereas. it is well understood by
all those who are familiar with the
development of dams end pollution
of streams on the Atlantic Coast,
that they result in the rapid de
struction of fish life in the streams:
"Be it therefore resolved by the
American Fisheries" Society at its
annual meeting in Madison, Wis
consin, on September 6-S, 1922, that
the Federal Power Commission and
all other government authorities con
cerned in the development of power
and pulp mill sites in Alaska be ad
vised that it is the opinion of this
society that great harm and detri
ment to the salmon industry in Al
aska will result unless the greatest
care Is exercised In permitting, for
any reason, the obstruction and pol
lution of salmon spawning streams In
jAlaska: and
i"Be It resolved further, that the
secretary be instructed to forward a
[copy to the President of the United
I States, to the S<?cretary of Com
merce, to the United States Commis
| sioner of Fisheries, to the Secretary
I of the Alaska Interdepartmental
| Board, and to the Secretary of the
j Federal Power Commission."
( The resolution endorsing the pro
(posed extension of the Alaska fish
eries reserve said:
"Whereas, it is a known fact that
the salmon fisheries of Alaska are
'not producing as formerly; the de
cline being due partly to lack of
adequate regulation and partly to
other causes, and
"Whereas, the Department of Com
merce has been attempting to meet
existing conditions by the establish
ment of reserves in those districts
most vitally affected and has already
j established several such, said re
serves being necessary on account of
the inability to secure a compre
hensive fisheries code which could be
readily administered and which
would adequately protect these dis
I tricts. and
"Whereas, we understand the Sec
retary of Commerce has now before
him a proposal for the extension of
the boundaries of the Alaska Penin
sula Fishery Reservation, said boun
daries to be extended so as to in
clude all waters of Hristol Bay north
to Cape Newenham in Bering Sea
and in the North Pacific Ocean those
waters including Cooks Inlet. Shell
kof Straits and about Kodiak Island,
a section within the areas of which
at present nearly three-fourths of
the Red Salmon of Alaska are pro
duced.
"Now, therefore, be it resolved that
it Is the sense of the American Fish
eries' Society, in convention as
sembled at Madison, Wisconsin, Sep
tember 6-8, 1922, that we heartily
endorse the creation of the reserve
referred to and our secretary is
hereby instructed to send a copy of
this resolution to the President of
the United States, to the Secretary
of Commerce and to the United
States Commissioner of Fisheries."
