But such a purpose as the present Commissioner. seems to have_can be.warked.out without | creating a panic among the op- erators, For example, I found the general spirit of the cannerymen seemed to be this—We don't want to lose our traps, but if they all lose some and it is for the besi, for the people of Alaska. then I'm not kicking.” “I was very much surprised and | vet pleased to see this spirit among | the cannerymen, egpecially' the big, ones, “I was not ahie to get any can-| neryman to commit himself as to! the probable price for pinks. Some | said it weuld open at 3! cents and others said it would open at 8 cents. I formed,the opinion thati it would open at 8 cents and that| | there "would be ksener competi- tion for. fish for two. reasons.. There ! will be more canneries in (:pex'at.i.onl and '$here, will, be: a. reduction in| the number of trap-caught fish.| The market for salmon will also be ‘better,.so. the brokers predict. This will make the operator bolder in| bidding for fish and will bring| higher prices for salmon.” | Douglas Church Services ‘DOUGLAS NEWS — SGHOOLS OF “DOUGLAS TO “OPEN MONDAY iPlenty of Wler Seems Now Assured—Frozen Pipes' Thawed Out The Douglas School Board has announced the reopening of schop next Monday morning for the firs' regular session since December 1f ‘The forced closing on Decembe 18 occasioned by the extreme co! weather ran into the Christmas va cation which was continued durin | the ;past. week on account of thc shortage of water.

D Price of Fich “It is possible through the pow-| er which the law gives the Com- missioner of Fisheries for him to| “persuade” the cannerymen to stab-| ilize the price of fish. Of cours cafifictymen realize that this can- not be done so long as the fish are v % bought by the piece because cf the varying weights of evin the same| species. But many of the operators ‘were of the opinion they could pay $1 per case for raw pink fish and that this price would be a gen- | eral increase in the price of fish ln some dlslncts The advantage > v BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG TEK = TBK- - ANOTHER L) LAC LETTER b MR.

The objection that it “would require weighing machines would be met by using large boxes measured to contain, say, 100 cases. Or else, the fish could be counted and at stat- ed intervals reduced to “cases” by the average number of fish per case. “The former system is already ‘m; ‘Washington and Senator Dill.
