Information reaching thé Department of Com- merce indicates that the salmon fisherles the far eastern waters of Russia last summer, like thpse in the Pacific Coast waters on the United States and Canada, had an off year. On Sakhalin Island, the fisheries caught a full quota of salmon but on the left bank of the Amur River and on the coast of the Okhotsk Sea the ¢atch was but from 30 to 60 per cent. normal. More fish then usual were taken on the upper Amur owing to a weir breaking under the pres- sure of an unusual flood, The third salmon run, starting September 14, was very poor. BOUNTY Because of sult of the greed States in which in STEM CONDEMNED. be the re- trappers in on certaln Biological the abuges claimed to of hunters and bounties are paid predatory animals, the United States Burvey has issued a statement in which it de- clares that the bounty system is ineffective. This s food for thought to Alaskans inasmuch as the Territory has been, and still is, expending thou- sands of dollars in various kinds of bounties, and at the last session of the Legislature extensions were madg to the system For many years the Territory has paid boun- ties on eagles and wolves. Now coyotes and hair seal are added to the list. The total cost of the system during the current biennium will reach many thousand dollars. There is little question about the effectiveness of the bounty on eagles. Their number been largely de- creased. As the cffectiveness the wolf subsidy there is room for argument. Undoubted- 1y it has stimulated hunters and trappers to keep after them, but their numbers have not been held down. and the bands seemed increased. It is probably true, also, out the bouuty the increase would much larger, since the price of pelts on the market 8 not’ sufiiciently attractive to induce systematic hunting and® trapping of the animal How the system will work out on coyol: hair seal cannot be determined until g lov ‘time has elapsed. The views of the Biological Survey on Vties as set forth in a recent bulletin follow: An interesting statement relative to wolf bounties has receitly come to the attention of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. Bounties on wolves have been paid in Minnesota from 1878 to the present time, and in this period these totaled $1,243,927. In 1926 the bounties amounted to nearly $110,000, but the largest in any one year—1919 was $124,446. During the first =even months of the present year $99,762 ha been paid The Biological Survey regards (he bounty system as expensive and in- effective, as there has bheen in this and other cases no diminution in the wolve; although the amounts paid steadily in- crease. One reason for the failure of bounties to eradicate wolves and other destructive animals is that under the system hunters resort to all kinds of schemes to maintain their income. example, a female wolf or coyote which soon produce young will be de- set free when trapped; some pups found in the dens will be to grow up; coyotes have actually ‘4n order to increase the ‘amimals on which to collect ‘bounties are not paid d into another State obtainable, On ome have to of that have with- been an by _the nd Class | will promptly ! to the, sdited to!

The s it would like to see the groatest pos- sible f interchange of people between the United States and pada, but, failing that, thinks that Canada herself would enter no pro- test against the application of the quota system to her emigrants. It might indeed be a very good thing for Canada to be put upon the quota list No doubt under the new era of development which is open- ing in this country, we can stand the existing drain of our citizens and potential citizens to the United States. But no doubt also the ap- plication of the quota to Canada would operate to stimulate the increase of Canadian popul tion, and, for our part, we shall utter no pro- test if the flow of people across the American boder is restricted by such an act of Congress.

The news that Alaska has at last recognized the copper cent as part of the currency of the United States brings to mind the resistange of the West to the money of the East. In the old days the West refused to be bothered with any- thing less than a nickel. Tt wanted silver dol- lars instead of paper dollars, and usually pr ferred gold coin to paper except for the large denominations. Now the dollar bill and the copper cent have captured the last stronghold and Alaska has taken up the ways of the East. | Fastorners frequently fail to grasp the sig- <rern names for fractional coing— ;* ande “six bits,” which ows, mean a quarter, a half seventy-five cents. The origin of the ican “bit,” or lzl/. cents, is somewhat ob- since there Was no coimage of that de- nomination. Probably the word “'bit” was first used to describe the Spanish real which formerly was in current use. The elght-real coins, or Spanish dollars, were stamped with the figure 8 and attained fame as ‘“pleces-of-elght.”” A short “bit” was ten cents, while a “long bit” was fifteen. The copper cent has many uses in our day and it would be somewhat difficuit to get along without it. Some have advocated the coinage of a 2% nt piece to supply certain needs of trade. Now tha* the cent has beenm accepted as part of the coinagey Alaska will soon get used to it. Its appearance in the Northland is a sign that the older culture of the Hast has at lust reached to every part of our country and its noncontigu- ous possessions. 1 If Senator Reed runs for President we'll see some campaign statements hot enough to burn the paper they're printed om.—(Cincinnati En- quirer.) 2 There isn't any Wild West any more, so just where is a young man supposed lo go?—(Port Angeles News.) b In flying the North \Atlamtic the pilot face all the hazards of tr ng a weather in one day.—(Boston pnld.) the!
