FOOD VALUE OF FISH
I^ish. should occupy a more im
Dor'an' position iu tho American
d.et. 1 his is the decision of the
AmerJcau Fisheries Society, recent
ly 'n session at Xew Orleans, pro
bably influenced by *rade interests,
bu» nevertheless worthy of consid
eration. With, the advances in the
cos» of meat, Americans are likely
to aciiu re new friendship' for a fish
tli.x fcr purely ccouomic reasons,
•>..!e from relative dietary values.
Tfce Fisheries Society contends
tua» fis*» a-re more valuable as a
foci *i:un eggs, beef or poultry, and
U makes a showing in comparative
inures as to calorics, proteins, car
bohydrates and other measures of
food value.
Xn doubt the portions of this
couc'ry remote from the coasts
.vou'.d be more liberal consumers if
'I'e supoly was more economically
haadleJ. The society voices some
compiaints of this and suggests the
oareels post and express lines as
convenient and economical mediums
oi supply foT the consumer. Eng
land delivers lish by parcel post.
J' is sjpplied to consumers, pack
ed and refrigerated, at from 5 to
10 ecu's per pound, according to th
variety ordered.
l»ut even at exis'ing prices the
f'iii demand in this country is con
s'au'ly increasing. Compared} with
teef, poultry and egg prices
h".Hbuf, cod and salmon are more
economical foods, especially for
these v. ho live jvi'hin a reasonable
tils aucfa of the seaboard, and a
less expensive system of handling
and distributing would increase the
nblic demand very materially.—Se

V FINE ADVERTISEMENT
'1 he announcement that by an
ovetw helming vcte of the people
Alaska has recorded its decision in
favor of prohibition, -will fee a great
a lv» rtisement for the big Territory.
It »:11 open the eyes of the peo
'-!e cf the States, ■who have long
rgarded the inhabitants of the
nortaland as a semi-barbaric race,
&iven to watonnees and desregard
o' the commou rules that guide clv
•'lizat.on. As a matter of fact, Al
askans are essentially law-abiding
and law-respec'ing people. At th
very first opportunity, the Alaska
legislative assembly passed a law
giving -women tie right of suffrage.
And now ye record ourselves in no
uncertain terms "with! rsepect to
*>rchibition. "We are in advance of
many of the States of the Union, an1
amorg these stages are several in
tlit* extreme east that have always
labored under the delusion that
thev were the leaders in civilizing
influences.—Anchorage Times.

Interior has thg determination, of
the ulaces at which the experimne'-l
Stallone shall be erected in the
United States. He has selected
Fairbanks as the sits p£ the first

John A. Davis, oX the bureau of
mines, under the interior depart
ment, is on his way to the states
after having visited) Fairbanks
to make an examination of the
country iu and around, that section
and to perform certain, preliminary
work in regard to tbq establishment
of the experimental station.
On his journey to Fairbanks Mr.
Davis had considerable experience
in trail travel. Hq was elgven days
going and about ten days coming
ou\ He was accorded every; court
esy and facility for his investiga
tion while iu Fairbanks, Thie Fair

organizations signified their willing
ness »o co-operate with! the new bu
reau.
'inis esp^rimenim buuuu win ve

benefit of the miner .and general

Mr. Davis will have charge of the
Fairbanks station. He will return

and Mrs. A. M. Broughtoai.
The Dewey is the oldest, and one
of the most popular hotelsi in Skag
way.
Mr. Clemenger has been conected
with this hotel for many years,
and for that reason need not bet in
troduced to the people of Skagway,
ucrr the travelers la the north. Mrs.
Broughton is a recent arrival in
Skagway. but may properly be
classed among the pioneers of Al
aska. She spent several years
in Alaska, some ten years ago. At
fna time she was in Skagway sev
eral months, and was engaged at
the hospital as a trained n iree. Lat
or she went to Whi'ehorse where
she engaged lor some time in her
orofession as nurse; from there she
went to the interior, where she
taught school until her marriage
with. Mr. Brought on. She has ex
perienced all the hardships incident
to a life in the interior of Alaska.
She understands the people of Alas
ka, and also the conditions in this
northern country, and will undoubt
edly fill her new position with erred
't to herself and to the satisfac
tion of her guests.
FAVORS I*OLIXICAL PARTY

tpe first one so far that has mani
fes ed any desire *o do anything in
a bi< way for Alaska," said Hillery,
"and while I have been a lifelong
Reoablican, I am strong for the pa{
ty wheih will do the greatest good
in fhe North.
"Prohibition has won its fight in
th* last great frontier country in
Affipr-'ca and I want to say that
prohibition in Alaska will do more
good ard carry with it less chance
of business demoralization than it
coul •. anywhere under the Ameri
can llag. Whiskey has been Alas
ka's ertatest ctarse and I am glad
i* has gene to stay.
"The banking business is con
stantly growing in strength in the
southeastern part of the country,
the Skagway branch of the Bank
of Alaska having received; deposits

HIES NOTES
Haines, Dec. 6—Therg is quite
an e.oidemic of measles among the
Indian children at Haines, and in
j consequence thei white school has
closed for the present. I am told
that there are some twenty; odd
cases iu the Presbyterian hospi
tal; there have been no deaths re
ported so far.
Haines is experiencing) the hard
est storm that I have even seen
here a* this time of year. The
suow is some four or five feet deep
on a level, and for the last three
days there has been a very; heavy
wind from the ChilJtat, causing the
suow to drift badly. One of the
f-"n* doors in town is cmpletely
covered upi with snow, and: some
niaces 5n the streets it is from six
to eight or ten feet deep, with
the thermometer showing down
about zero.
Homer Banta who was operated
t>Ei at the Post hospital is reported
to l>e getting along nicely, but Will
not. bf able to leave the hospital for
a week or two yet.
The party which' was to have
come off at the A. B. Hall ton&ht,
has again: been postponed indefinite
ly on account ot the fiT'demk) of
measlea. t ■ ' •
