Tolls — Improved Alaska Serv
ice l> (lie Promise.
Color to the reports that the gov
ernment is preparing to t:ike action
towards improving cable facilities
across the Pacific is given by the
announcement that Col. C. A. Sea
oue. officer in charge of the Wash
ington Alaska military cable and
it is provided that in the event that
private companies do not undertake
this proposition in a reasonable time
that the government act.
Colonel Seaone lias prepared a
most exhaustive review of the brief
supporting the proposed northern
route cable, which has alst? been
endorsed by commercial interests
and army officers. Recently in tes
timony before the senate committees
President Carlton of the Western
I'nion said his company had in mind
two new cables across the Pacific,
both of them to be laid by the
northern route, which runs from
Puget Sound via the Aleutian isl
ands to the far east, taking ad
vantage of the Great Circle, which
means a cable 3,000 miles shorter
than the present one running frotu
San Francisco, Honolulu. .did way
islands. Guam, and thence to the
Philippines and Japan. It is ex
pected a cable laid by this shorter
route would cost millions of dol
lars less than oue which would fol
low the present one from San Fran
cisco.
I IIP M'aiue CUUIUUCI Ul tuiuuran:
has information showing that with
the economies of this shorter cable
it would effect a saving of $500,000
a year in cable tolls. Th>^ route
via the Aleutian islands not only
shortens the distance of the cable
but also gives desired resting places
for the cable and enables this coun
try to provide ample military and
naval communication.
When General Leonard A. Wood
sailed from Seattle on the S.S. We
uatchee for the orient he fanitliar
ized himself with the report com
piled by Colonel Seaone and a
statement from the Seattle chamber
of commerce, which has been active
in support of the cable for the last
five years. General Wood, accord
ing to cable advices received by the
Seattle chamber of commerce, is
expected to champion the shorter
route, which boasts military, com
mercial. strategic, geographical and
physical advantages not possible on
the longer Hue. By extending the
present Alaskan cable or by laying
one direct from Seattle to the Aleu
tian islands it wouul be possible to
have every landing on American
soil and no span would be greater
than 2.00 miles.
Colonel Seaone said he could not
officially state his mission but said
he had received orders to go to
Washington on temporary duty to
assist the war department represen
tative on the iiiter department com
munication boards in preparing im
portant information and data for
that board in connection with its re
port to the president, concerning
proposed legislation and policies of
this government in respect to inter
national and national electric com
munication needs.
While at the national capital he
will also take up problems affecting
the Alaska cable and he is under
stood to have definite recommenda
tions to make for improvement of
the service.
ALASKA EXCLUDED FROM
BENEFITS ASSESSMENT ACT
Senator Jones writes George D.
Schofield that on the suggestion of
Senator Poindexter, chairman of the
committee, the senate excluded Al
aska from benefit of the mining act
regarding assessment work on min
eral claims for 1921, and as a result
assessment work will have to be
done in Alaska.

Simpson, in the sub-Arctic, in con
structing an airplane propeller out
of a few dog-sled boards and glue
made from raw moose hide, an »>il
company's freight airplane escaped
being stranded at Slave Lake for sev

\V. A. Johnson, who had only a few
crude tools nt his disposal, worked
without a hitch and carried the ma

River crossing.
The emergency repairs were made
necessary when the airplane plunged
into a deep snow bank and splinter
ed oi^e of its propellnrs. if the new
propeller had not been made the
aviators -said they would have had
to remain in the north country until
the opening of navigation about

SAYS GOVERNMENT
BEING AS.SAn.KI>
New York, June.—The govern
ment established by Washington and
Hamilton "to bless all future gen
erations." is being assailed by the
red hand of anarchy on the very spot
of its birth," Senator Willis of Ohiu
declared in a Flag day address de
livered from the steps of the old
sub-treasury building in Wall street.
"Of what avail was the more per
fect union for which Washington
strove," he said, "if we of this day
permit it to be dishonored and de
stroyed by the profaning band of im
ported agitators who love neither
man nor God, and who would of they
dared, use the flag itself to kindle
the red flames of Bolshevism?"
Founders of the American govern
ment, Senator Willis said, intended
this to bo "un Americat. nation."
not a mere conglomeration of foi
eign peoples.

Washington. June 21.—High
prices of foot wear which obtained
during 191S and resultedetaoni
during 191S and were increased in
1919 resulted from "abnormal condi
tions of supply und demand, both
economical and physcological, arising
from the war," the federal trade
commission today reported to the
house of representatives. The report
was submitted in response to a res
olution.
"incident io these conditions." the
report added, "were large margins of
profit taken by tanners, shoe manu
facturers, wholesalers, jobbers and
retailers," wl.ose large earnings
were declared to be " out of all pro
portion to the increase in their cost
per unit."
The advance in the price of shoes
ilnally was terminated by the "so
culled buyers strike" in the spring
of 1920, according to the report.
Failure of leather and shoe prices
to decline as extensively as did high
prices after the "buyers strikes" was
attributed by the commission to "a
tendency to base selling prices on ac
tual rather than replacements costs,"
and to the fact that other prices had
not declined as much as had raw ma
terials.
"In any event," the report con
cluded. "the present prices of hides
and skins and the conditions exist
ing n these phases of industry, justi
fy an expectation of still further de
clines In the quoted prices of leather
and shoes."
Earnings of 3C1 reporting shoe
manufacturers representing 62 per
cent, of the 1919 production, aver
aged IB.2 per cent, on their total in
vestment according to the commis
sion's figures, which asserted that
earnings of 32 typical shoe wholesal
ers and jobbers averaged about 22
per cent, on the investment in 191S
and about 31 per cent, in 1919.
'SHARK FACTORY"
NEW INSTITUTION"
Victoria, B. C., June 14.—Eighty
sharks were caught in one week at
the new Anglo-British Canadian com
pany's shark factory on Parker Is
land in the Gulf of Georgia. Every
ounce of the monsters which averag
ed a ton each will be made into com
mercial products.

President Alaska Sulphur Company
Visits Seattle Office on Com
pany Business.
W. W. Johnston, president of the !
Alaska Sulphur Co., with offices in |
the ltaiiroad Exchange building of
Seattle and Wrigiey building of Chi
cago, spent the week in Seattle on
company business.
The Alaska Sulphur Co. is oper-j
atiiig at Lost Harbor, near Kodiak,
where the company has a 100-ton
refinery ready to operate as well as
development work on the Buckley
sulphur claims under operation. On
the Watson additional men were sent |
to the company plant.
President Johnston informed the
Dispatch that the company was free
from debt, all equipment paid for.
and in excellent shape to market its
prpducts. lie says within a short
while the company will be making
regular shipments of sacked or bulk
sulphur to the markets.—Dispatch.
shark is the hide. This is manufac
tured into leather which runs from
an inch thick to the thinness of pa
per. Roots and shoes made of it are
said to be absolutely water-proof.
This is true, it is declared of no
leather now in use. The moisture of
even a damp walk will soak through
ordinary sole leather.
Before being tanned, the outer
skin, known as "shagreen" is re
moved. This is as -rough as the
coarsest sandjmper. The under skin
looks as if it had been woven and in
terlaced by a machine. This quality
accounts for the remarkable durabil
ity of ihe leather. It takes fifteen
days of specialized process to turn
out the finer leathers and six months
treatment to prepare sole leather.
The walls of the shark's stomach
are made into a fabric that is so thin
is is almost transparent. It is soft
and pliable despite Its extreme
toughness and it is said may be
worked into a kind of a cloth for ]
garments. I
The shark's head is made into glue '
and its body into lioh meal and fer
tilizer. The fins are prized as table |
delicacies by the Chinese. The teeth (
are used for making ornaments. The
liver runs GO to 70 per cent, of the
finest oil of which 10 per cent, is
almost pure glycerine. Cod liver oil
of commerce is really shark's liver
oil.
"Shark factories are new in Amer
ica," said Kelson Macdonald of the
enterprise. "There are Hundreds of
them in Norway that are immensely
profitable. Millions of sharks live in
the water of the British Columbia
coast. The higher north you go the
more you will find. The supply is in
exhaustible. I believe these sea ter
rors will in time become the basis of
a million dollar industry."
