ommending to the Secretary,,of. Com
merce that future regulations to be
issued permit the Yukon .river to be
opened to king salmon fishing, allow
* ing 50,000 to 60,000. to be taken, and
limiting operation, .to. king salmon gill
nets, and limiting the season to the
. time wnen the bulk of, king salmon
are running. Commissioner O’Malley
wrote a letter, ta. this effect to the
Delegate, with permission to give it
publicity. The. Delegate then had
about 75 copies of.thisjetter printed
and sent to.persona.wha might be in
- terested, particularly, along the Yu
kon river, and personally wrote on
each letter.:. “Do..you want this’
Write to. me- Wickersham.’ As a
result some have written favoring
the opening^oi .the.mouth, of the lu
- kon, while others have written. in
opposition, claiming that the run of
.he salmon..up the river would he af
fected as would also the natural sup
ply of food,as.furnished by the sal
mon to a couple of thousand men,
women and children. The Delegate
has sought, information from the peo
ple interested so that he might ben
in position, to again take the question
up with Commissioner O’Malley and
either urge or oppose the opening of
• the mouth of the Yukon for fishing,
is.,the facts, should warrant. From
responses so far received the Dele
, gate is inclined to believe that the
bqst interests of the fishing industry
and of the people along the Yukon
require that he oppose the new con
templated regulations.
The Postoffice Department has os
ti&Ushed a postqffice at Lakeview,
alppg the Alaska Railroad, and
• named Harold Long as postmaster.
Various .applications are received
bi, the Delegate from persons in the
■ States who wish employment in the
several Alaska towns from Hyder to
Npme. One of tin latest is from a
19.31 graduate of Harvard, residing at
, Brooklyn, who would like to secure a
place “in the recently constructed
wqod pulp plant situated about 20
mjles from Juneau.” He is out of
lu.ck because tie plant has not yet
been erected
H. A. Clarke, the. postmaster at
R*by, bar, resigned and left with Ills
wife for Seattle, where she is to re
ceive medical treatment. Miss Mil
dred. M. Fisher has been left in
’ charge of the office and is an ap
plicant for the vacant, post.
The. Bureau of Indian Affairs is to
erpet a number of school buildings in
Alaska, and.complaint comes from
• various persona. that the lumber a; d
material for the buildings have been
purchased in Seattle, when the mills
in tile Territory are equipped and
capable of filling the orders at equal
cost..
Information comjs from parties in
Los Angeles that they are contem
plating the erection of a plant to pro
duce wocd pulp and news print, if
proper arrangements can be made
with the government for a suitable
tract of timber and the necessary
water power. The Tongas Forest Re
! serve is preferred and “the necessary
I millions for the erection of the plant
j ave ocen pledged,. conditioned on se
I curing satisfactory leases.”
A bill had been introduced in the
second session of the last Congress
to extend the facilitie of the Public
..ealth Service to seamen on govern
ment vessels not in the military vr
naval establishments, but, like many
I other bills, this one failed of passage,
and inquiry no wcomes as to whether
le present Delegate intends to re
introduce the measure after Congress
convenes in December, which of
course he will do. The previous bill
< had been commended by Secretary
j .ellon, who wrote
J “By special acts the personnel em
i ployed on board vessels of the Coast
; Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey,
| Bureau, of Lighthouses, Bureau of
1 Fisheries, and those belonging to the
Engineer Corps of U. S. Army, are
I entitled to treament by the ' Public
; Health Service, but there are a few
bessels such, for instance, , as those
i belonging to the Bureau of Education,
Forest Service, and Department of
Justice, whose personnel is not en
titled to treatment and who, as a
matter of convenience to the govern
ment and also one of equity, should
be included among the beneficiaries.
: The additional cost will probably be
: insignificant.”
Miners and other residents of Cir
cle protest against the contemplated
removal of the Signal Corps station
from that station to ircle Hot
Springs. They declare that Circle is
the central distributing point for
Fort Yukon and neighboring sections
and that a change would seriously af
fect mining and navigation on the
Yukon river during che open season.
In the economy program of the
government and the consequent re
duction of the Army posts there has
been no desire to dispense with Chil
koot Barracks, located near Haines,
and regarded as easily unique among
the army posts of today. One of the
newspapers in this city describes it
as the.most northern of all garrisoned
posts, set among tree-clad and snow
covered mountains, in a country

KODIA KISLAND CATTLE
KILLED BY BBOVVN BEARS
A brown beer raid on a Kodiak
island cattle ranch, in which five an-1
imals were killed and two others had- j
ly torn up, is described in an official
report made to Governor George A.
Parks by Dr. Jules B. Loftus, Terri
torial veterinarian, who returned re
cently from an inspection trip to Ke
nai peninsula and the Kodiak-Afog
nak region, says the Juneau Empire
This raid occurred early in May.
Dr. Loftus, who was in Kodiak to in
spect dairy stock and visit fur farms
in the vicinity, was called hy H. S.
Albert to treat th einjured. stock.
In his report to the governor, Dr.
Loftus said:
“At Kodiak, H. .abort asked me
to come out and care for an injured
j cow and loo kinto some loss he felt
; sure he had sustained through bear.
| Both cows had claw marks on their
I necks and wounds from the teeth of
| the bear on their Backs. One cow had
two teats severed from the udder
completely and the other two badly
lacerated. This cow gave birth to a
fine calf three days later, but due to
the inflamed condition of her udder
it was necessary to supply a nurse
cow for the calf. I accompanied Mr.
Albert up on the range and we found
five distinct kills. One of these, a
suckling calf, and the remainder long
yearlings to adults. The kills were
about four days old, and no doubt oc
curred when the two came to the
; ranch buildings.
j “The entire herd of fro m50 to 70
j hed moved in near the buildings and
were reluctant to leave. Two year
! lings and the suckling calf were eaten
j up completely, only the bones re
I maining. rFom the other kills only
the udders had been eaten. The tracks
of two bear were easily found in the
alder patches where the kills had
been dragged and at least a dozen
beds had been dug. One quite large
track, between 11 and 12 inches in
length for the rear foot and the
smaller track was about 9 inches in
length. From the appearance of the
carcasses I think it likely that the
kiling was done in one night and,
after a day or two spent in the vi
cinity, the bear did not come again
to eat.”

KICKS AND COMFORT.
The editor uses his utmost skill
To choose timely topics his columns
to fill
And feels he’s succeeding admirably
till
He reads these three words: “Stop
my paper.”
One itme is dead by a man who is
“wet.”
He writes: “Your last sheet is the
worst yet;
If this be the kind of junk we’re
going to get,
I tell you right now, ‘Stop my
paper.’ ”
Another subscriber is thoroughly
“dry.”
The very same news item catches his
eye,
And straightway he sends in these
words:
“Me, oh, my!
You’re the country’s worst . foe—
‘Stop my paper.’ ”
Thus wee kafter week the gamut
is run
Through articles sober and dashes
of fun,
And in spite of the care with which
all has been done
Somebody writes in, “Stop my pa
per.”
But the editor knows that throughout
the wide earth
Are many who, knowing the paper’s
true worth,
Read parts they don’t like with tol
erant mirth
And never write in, “Stop my
paper.”
