Opinion in other cities wheer this

a wonderfully acted, convincing bit
of work. This is due both to the
skill put into its production, and to
•the fact that it is an adaptation from
a Saturday Evenjjig Post story by
ithe well known fiction writer, F
iSeott (Fitzgerald.
“The Offshore Pirate” is the story
of a group of people who adopt des
perate measures to save Ardita Far

scheming Russian who is after hei
money. -Piratical tactics in Ardita'

thrilling escapades, endyng in a re
versjff of the intriguer’s hopes, and
(the ushering in of new ones.

THE WORK OF THE BUREAU OF
FISHERIES IN ALASKA.
(By K. M. Ball, Assistant Asviit at
Liiifjc, Bureau of Fisheries.)
• The Bureau of Fisher ies fame into
Alaska in 19«»5 by authority of Congress
to begin the artificial propagation < I
salmon. Money was appropriated for
i that purpose, ami. in accordance with
the recommendations* of a special com
mission appointed in November, 1902, by
direction of the President, to inquir.
into tlu* needs of the sjflmon fisharh s
: of Alaska, a site for the first Federal
I salmon hatchery in the Territory wai
1 selected at the head of McDonald Lake,
i then known as Vos Lake. The outlet
stream of this lake empties into Yes
| Bay, a small arm of Behm Canal, in
I denting tlie mnitdand of Alaska at a
1 point about 5a miles northeast of Ket
chikan.
The hatchery was built in 1905 and in
1900 the work of propagating, salmon
was begun. Two years later a similar
plant was constructed on Lifnlk Lake,
j Afognnk Island. These hatcheries are in
{Operation today. Millions of young sal
mon have been liberated from them
into the wait rs of Alaska to aid in
maintaining the most commercially im
' portant fishery of the Pacific Coast.
IP'fore 1906, the enforcement of the
laws of Alaska was lodged in the Treas
ury Department and administered largely
by the Customs Service through the
i eourts of the Territory and those of
Washington, Oregon and California. By
i the Act of Juno 26. 19<>6 Congress passed
j the first strictly fishery law of Alaska,
thereby investing the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor with authority to en
i force it. Tho Bureau became and con
j time s to lie the agency through which
that authority is exercised. This act is
i the present fishery law of Alaska. Tt
; was passed primarily for the protection
and regulation of tie* salmon fisheries,
i then and now tli • most valuable fishery
j of the Northwest. In some measure it
was also made applicable to all other
j Territorial fisheries.
As tine* went on, the fishery business
| expanded until it became tin* chief in*
! dustry of Alaska; it maintains that pre
■ eminence today. This rapid development
and growth of fishery activities soon
, rendered the law of 19116 inadequate, n
failed to accomplish the object of its
enactment as the escapement of salmon
into the streams beyond the reach of
J fishing apparatus was insufficient to
maintain the runs. Fortunately, pro
vision was made in the law whereby
the Secretary could extend protection
to the fisheries by departmental regula
tions adding to the prohibitions of the
Statute by closing streams and in other
[cases by extending the zone of prptre
| tion at the mouths of streams. The
j Bureau ’supplies the Secretary with in
I formation regarding the condition of the
• fisheries at such places and their no* ds,
! thus enabling him to promulgate the
i necessary orders and regulations for
] their better protection. When this ac
tion is insufficient to save the fisheries
1 from depletion and ultimate exhaustion
1 recourse is had to more drastic measures
such as tho creation of fishery reserves
by Presidential orders giving the Sec
retary' absolute control through the
Aside from this pha.se of the Bureau’s
activities, encouragemnt is given to tho
i fullest development of all the fisheries
1 consistent with a continuing supply of
fish. The Bureau also aids in the in
. treduction of improved methods of pr«»
jwiring fislnTy products and by giving
' to interested persons tin* results of
.laboratory tests and experiments in tho
I preparation of food products and other
varticles of commerce obtained from the
i hi'a. A notable example of its work
, along tills line was the introduction of
. the Scotch cure of herring. The quan
tity and value of this Alaskan product
i is now exceeded only by the quantity
j ami value of its canned salmon,
i In addition to the enforcement of the
! fishery laws, the Bureau is also charged
1 with the enforcement of the laws and
j regulations for the protection of fur
j seals, sea otters, walruses and sea lions.
[Its work with the seal herd of the Bnb
ilof Islands Is too large a subject t»- be
discussed at this time hut tin* out
j standing facts may be mentioned.
From 1870 to 1910, sealing on tin*
I islands was carried on by common ial
companies under contract with the
United States to pay a certain royalty
for each pelt taken, killings being lim
| ited to animals not more than three
! years old. During the same period,
! pelagic sealing was carried on by Am*
] erieans, Japanese and Canadians, op
erating vesesls in Bering Sea and the
1 North Pacific Ocean. Seals of both sexes
I and all ages were killed indiscriminately
and a large percentage of them were
I never recovered. As a result of the
killings on land and son before 1910.
j the herd was seriously depleted ,*tnd its
• complete extermination seemed inevit
able if such operations were not dis
j continued. An effective remedy had u
be applied promptly if the herd * ur
| vived. As a step in that direction, tin
| United States refused to consul* i a
| further leasing of scaling privileges on
1 the Pribllof Islands. It followed this no
tion by entering into negotiations with
| the governments of Great Britain. Japan
and Russia to conclude a treaty lor tin
j effective protection and preservation ot
! the fur seals and sea ott#*rs, which < ul
, minated in the convention of July 7,
j 1911. In due time ratifications were ex
changed at Washington. The treaty be
came effective December 15, 1911, and it
j specifically continues in effect f“i 15
| years and thci rafter until terminated by
.twelve months’ written notice given by
one or more of the High Contracting
Parties to all of the others. Upon its
adoption, pelagic sealing ceased and th
j preservation of the herd was reasonably
• assured.
Beginning in 1919, the Bureau took
; charge of the Pribilof Islands and the
seals that annually resort there to
| breed.
1 On August 24, 1912, Congress passed
an Art giving effect to the Convention
of July 7. 1911. In Its larger aspects,
it is administered by the President but

called upon, it is backed by the!
great IaIkji' contractors, who supply

often is asked to in' rvene in the
lnltercst of the prevailing order of
things and usually it can induce tic*
workers, by one means or another,
to tv turn to work. It is strongly op

influence to prevent them from gain

WOODMEN OF WORLD FOUND SANITORIUM AS WAR MEMORIAL
■Woodmen sanitorium
OMAHA, Neb.—The Woodmen of
the World, a national fraternal or
ganization numbering 800,000
members, has begun the erection
of a tuberculosis sanitorium at San
Angelo, Texas. This will bo the
first of four such institutions for
the treatment of members to be
built in different states In the next
.year or two, according to W. A.
Fraser,sovereign commander of the
order.
The sanitorium will be known ns
“The Woodmen of the World War
Memorial Sanitorium” ant. will be
in honor of the members who made
tiie “supreme sacrifice” in the world
war. A monument to the dead
heroes will be erected in front cf
the main group of buildings and
will be inscribed with the name
of every Woodman who died in the
great conflict.
The Woodmen appropriated
? 100,000 to build ti institution
with the proviso that a state with
suitable climatic conditions appro
priate an equal amount. This re
sulted in bids from Texas, New
\
Mexico, Arizona, North and South
Carolina, the two Virginias and
New York. Texas won by the do
nation o£ a tract o£ land valued at
$100,000.
The sanitarium will bo a recon
struction and enlargement of an
old Spanish mission. .The main
building will be 300 feet Ion* by
50 feet wide and three stories high
with broad verandas surrounding
it on every floor, in which the pa
tients will live in the open air. An
administration building, a residence
for the chief medicat officer ar. I
cottages for nurses a- d assistants
will complete the architectural
group. It will bo opened in tL»
