BAD MARKETS STOP FISHING
The recent sag in the price of
fresh salmon at Seattle threatens to
put a stop to fishing in this region.
Yesterday's quotation of six cents
for reds and three cents for whites,
indicates a market in such a condi
tion that it were suicidal to ship any
n:ore at this time. The absence of
mild-curing on the Columbia will throw
the fish usuall consumed by that
industry on the fresh fish market, and
is bound to keep it at such a low
point that our fish with the long
haul will have a hard time com
peting with it.

The gas boat and steam boat men
of this region are very much in
censed., against the action of the Geo
detic Survey in refusing to charter
any boats in Alaska for the drag
survey work to be done by the govern
ment in the north this year. As an
nounced in these columns some time
ago, over seventy vessels, many of
them from this region, submitted
bids to the government for charters.
The local boats are all good able ves
sels, peculiarly adapted for the work.
! ut not a single one of them was in
spected and not one chartered by the
Department. The announcement is
inade that among the vessels charter
'd is the old tug Equator which
steam boat men who should know, say
was condemned for further use years
ago by the government inspectors,
and this when good able ships were
offered for less money. Diserimina
tion of this kind is, to say the least,
unfair, and opens the way for pos
sible charges of graft.

LOCAL TIME HEEEAFTEE
The Alaska Steamship company has
notified its captains and agents that
