O’'Malley Bocsts Fisheries A new circular issued by the De- partment of Commerce on the game fisheries of Alaska was ex- hibited steday. at- the Champer’s meeting. It was written by Com- missioner Henry O'Malley, and is the most comprehensive survey of the subject yet to be compiled. It Includes a map of Southeast Alaska showing the more important fresh- water streams and lakes in the Panhandle, and lists in the manu- seript fishing streams and trolling waters all over the Territory. It contains a fine description of “strip” fishing for king salmon in the vicinity of Juneau, A supply of the circulars wiil be ordered oy the Chamber for dis- tribution to persons inquiring about sport fishing in the waters of this vicinity. Defense of the purchase of cross ties for the Alaska Railroad outside of the Territory. was contained in correspondence received from Sec- retary Ray Wilbur of the Interior Department. His letter cited a let- ter from Gen. Manager Ohlson of the railroad which claimed that the Government saved $15,000 on the recent order placed in Seattle, and that the ultimate saving in the life of the ties would result in an an- nual saving to the Government of $150,000. The Executive Board reported it had written the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce offering to co-operate with it in a survey of opportunities for investment . in Alaskan industries, This was proposed &s a means of curbing fake promotion ..schemes said to be flooding the Northwest to the injury of legitimate invest- ment opportunities in the Territory.

Bralller did a fine piece of work getting so many of the party back at this hour, Although the surf Had gone down somewhat, it was neverthe- less quite an undertaking to bring an injured man and three women “The next morning, Mr. Brallier, in charge of the motor sailer and a surf boat, went in to bring in the rest of the party and all the baggage and bedding. The motor sailer was anchored beyond the the surf and the transfer of the rest of the party and the baggage to the ship was accomplished by 9 a. m. Food Short “When the party was picked up they had only beef and bread to eat. The beef was obtained as it usually is on the island, by shooting a bull, but they had 53 or so long that it had become very unpalatable. Their bread was made from flour, the last of which was a year old and wormy and buggy. In order to make bread they had to use three of four times the ordinary amount of yeast. The coffee was used up within about a week of their arrival on Chiri- kof. They made biscuits out of baking soda, flour, tallow and water, the tallow being melted down from the bull fat. They used tallow for butter—or nothing. Matches Nearly Gone “The match situation was ser- ious and the party had one penny box of matches left Wien they throughout the country, somewhat alarming, at first. But his fo‘.lri weeks of sickness were only an oc- casion of reinvigorating his health, and, on February 2, he celebrated with joy his diamond jubilee of existence, Among friends whom Bishop Crimont saw while = he was in the East were Thomas Riggs, former Governor of Alaska, and Mrs. Riggs, both of whom were/ in good health. Attends Religious Profession After his return to the West, | Bishop Crimont had the pleasure to accompany Mr. and Mrs. L. H Metzgar to the ceremony at Bel- lingham, Wash.,, of the religious profession of their daughter, Vir- ginia, on February 15. Of the cere- mony he said, “The scene was one of grandeur and . exaltation, well compensating the great sacrifice made by the parents and by their daughter. For a young lady, with a mind endowed with fine culture, and thoroughly equipped by every accomplishment, and charm of per- son, o aspire confidently to a career worthy to be envied by any young woman of her position, and deliberately, by an act of her will, unaided by sentiment, to choose a career of service and of self devo- tion to the welfare, spiritual and corporal of the thousands, and tens of thousands of the children and adults with whom Providence will .place in touch with her, and within the sphere of her work, is a sight on which anyone may look with 2 feeling of exaltation and admira- tion. “Mr. and Mrs. Metzgar may well be proud of the distinguished honor that has come to their family in the person of Virginia Metzgar, who in ‘"her religion is Sister Mary Rosarli, in the Order of the Sis- ters of St. Joseph of Newark. “The Sisters of St. Joseph have won the esteem and love of Alas- kans by their devoted and able service in the hospital at Ketchi- kan."

It was necessary ta be armed in walk- ing across the island, as there are numerous bulls in the cattle herd and they are quite ready to charge anyone on foot. . They had only 20 rounds of ammunition left and! had begun to break down shotgun | charges and me’y the pellets into slugs big enough to kill a bull and | thus maintain their meat supply. “With the highly unbalanced diet and total lack of vegetables in the latter part of their stay, they found themselves hungry no{ matter how much bull beef and) musty bread they ate. SMOKE ALFALFA “Some of the party were quite heavy smokers, including the two girls from Chicago, and they were hard put to it to find substitu- tions. The best substitute they found after trying tea, powdered yeast and other things, was al- falfa which -had been left on the island for horsefeed. Into the al- falfa they rubbed mentholatum and dubbed the product '‘Chirikof Spuds.” They told me this was al- most passable as a smoke, how- ever they ran out of mentholatum a few days before the Tallapoosa an-lved" * JAPANESE A ARE §.05 NEARING JEHOL FOR AN N ATTAGK Question Arises Regarding Chinese Movements— Air Scout Reports CHINCHOW, March 2.—Wheth- er the Chinese defense of Jehol has already collapsed or has mot begun fs a question in the minds here for some time by the ex- tensive work of his tremendous diocese.
