AN EXCELENT BEGINNING
As the result of a season's
investigations in Southeastern
Alaska a representative of the
United States Department of
Agricultuer has discovered that
the proper way to utilize the
waste of the salmon canneries
i- not by use of a central plant
but by small units operated in
connection with the various
canneries. This sheds some
new light on the matter but
atte-ts the accuracy of the pre
vious investigations of the
l usted States Bureau of Fish
eries which arrived at the same
conclusions more than two
years ago. !u his “Salmon
Fisheries f :he Pacific Coast."
pubis shed in 1011. John N .
Cobb, at that time, an Alaskan
agent of the bureau makes the
statement: “The great desider
atum of the salmon fisheries
of the Pacific Coast at the
present time is the k vention
c; a small odoriess fertilizer
plant* * * wmen can be
e•: ir ‘he various salmon
canneries.”
\ w the: us original conclu
-0- e been verified it is
hoped teas he Bureau of Fish
e e- ". .. demonstrate the prac
t cabtilty : :he plan by induc
ing the federt! government to
l i a :e-: : .ant. There is no
question 1 :: f the Bureau
were to make a practical -uo
cessful iemonstration of its
scheme, th u *.he plan would
soon be adopted by all the
larger salmon .nneries. with
great benefit to all coueerend.
Some little progress has al
ready been made along this
general line by the Canadian
government whi h. through
the Departmne? of Marine and
Fisheries operates iogfish re
do ton plants on the Atlantic
coast.—Pacific Fisherman.

A SUGGESTION REGARDING
THE -CANAL
A noval interpretation of
how the Monroe doctrine
: should be applied after the
completion of the Panama can
al has just been voiced by a
German diplomat of authority
and high position. In sub
stance it is lo give the United
Stales full control as far south
as the isthmian waterway,
' but to let the countries of Eu
rope, including Germany, have
a free field from Panama lo
Tierra del Fuego.
The high standing of this
i diplomat may reasonably be \
expected to influence the
standpoint of Germany in any
r future controversy involving
, the famous doctrine of Ameri
i can foreign relations; conse
quently his \ iew? are not with
j on t a certain interest. He
[ would cut the American con- i
| tinent in two at the Panama
| canal and allow to the United
States full aud free hand as
far south as that waterway,
t but exdubed from the sphere
>1 any Wa.-hington supervi
sion or control the relations
«f Germany and the other Eu
i ropean powers, with the states
:«f South America. He be- j
eves Germany should refrain
from any interference whatso- ?'
ever in Mexico, and that the
same rule 3pply to all the Cen
,ra! American slates. This
would involve a virtual exten
sion of the southern boundary
of IheUniled State* to the
canal. *o far as the relation* of
ihese Mate* to the Europen
powers is concerned. This
: will be *een, is the Monroe
doctrine for Central America
• n an even stronger form than
* at pre*ent enforced.
But the Europen Mate* must
,ud shosild. this diplomat be
eve*. be allowed to settle their
controvehsies with the
'ountrie* south of thi* line in
’.heir own way and without re
ferenee to Washington. Role
of the United State* as guard- ,
ian and protector to the whole
continent is. he believes, a
thing of the past; the South
American states have reached
ear- of discretion; they are
•ut .<•' the legitimate sphere of
onlrol of the American de
part men t of state; the
countries of Europe are en
::iled to insist on a free hand
in their relation* with them.
Manager J. C. Barber of the
Citizens Light. Power ater
company, is working out a
schedule of price* for supply

PLANNING CHANGES
I As was intimated after the
purchase of the steamship
Admiral Farragut for the
SeatUe-San Francisco service
other Admirals of the fleet of
the American Mail Steamship
Company are to be brought to
this coast by the Alaska Pacific
and Alaska Coast Steamship
Companies. According to lo
\ cal officials of the company,
plans will shortly mature for
[ the addition to the Seattle fleet
I of the steamship Admiral
Dew or Admiral Schley.
President H. F. Alexander, of
[the Alaska Pacific and Alaska
Coast Steamship Companies,
who left recently for Wash
ington D. C... is expected to
continue on to Philadelphia lo
consult with the owners of
the Schley and Dewey, and
Manager C. \Y. Wiley le fi
Seattle lo day to join him there
Results of the negotiations
should be known here in an
other week.
With the Admiral Schley or
i Dewey the Alaska Pacific Com
pany will have three Admirals, j
with the Sampson and Far- j
! ragut. which, it is understood.!

will be operated in the Calif-j
lornia service. The steamships!
Watson and Bnekman would ,
then be used in the Alaska J

BACK FROM A LONG TRIP
After a trip into the interior
lasting all summer. John Fint
zen the well-known miner of
the west coast arrived down on
a recent boat from Wrangell.
John reports that he had been
prospecting with his gold mag
net for old creek beds and be
lieves that he has found ground
that will prove a winner, at the
same time demonstrating to
his entire satisfaction that his
invention is as effective in lo
cating gravel as it is quartz.
John -tales that the weather
of the upper Stiknie has been
wretched this summer wet and
cold. Day after day the rair
falling steadily in a region us
usuallv considered arid in
the dry -eason. In July he say
it froze ice a- thick as window
g!a-~ and the thermometer
was down to ten above zero in
August.
One feature of the countrv
appealed to him, the abundance
of all kinds of game. The last
lime he was in the Cassiar he
-ays. wolves were plentiful and
game scarce. A bounty ho
heen put on wolves since, and
-now they are scarce and game
plentiful, and he i- of the opin
ion that the same would be the
ca-e if a bounty were offered
for wolves in Ala-ka. He says
he -aw a moo-e within twenty
mile- of Wrangell and thinks
| that they would soon -oread to
. the other islands of that r iei
jnily if they were pro'eeted.
Mr. Fintzeri has his gold mag
| net with him and wo- Id bt
■ pleased to nmke a lemonstra
Jtion of what »t can do on a:n
g property in tin- region.
