days out, or about one thou

There w as a heavy sea running
at ihe time, and during a boat j
drill ihe fails on one of the
oats broke as it was being
lowered and the boat, with two

fact that an accident might
have followed the launching of
a boat w i*h a crew hi pick up
the drifting boat on account of
the bad weather, the captain of

log. That was the last heard

NEW MARKET FOR
ALASKA FISH
The A«a>ka Co- operative

ho American Fish t\ Oyster Co.
of San Francisco, to ship one
ton of fresh fish every week, *
The firsh shipment was made j
on Jan. 2, and was received at i
San Francisco in first class *
condition. Manager MeGehee
says that th.s is merly a starter
the Frisco people are nly feel
ing for our fish now and as
soon as they learn that we have
ipcreasp in the shipments.
These fish will be sold below
as Alaska fish not as Columbia
River salmon. The great troub

fi<h lost thir identity as soon

and what was shipped

yesterday afternoon by a vote
of 230 to ST. One amandment
was made introduced by Con
gressman Fitzgerald, which
passed by a bare majority. It
provides that instead of a bond
issue of forty million dollars
the road shall be built at a
cost of not to exceed thirty
five millions and that the funds
therefor shall be drawn direct
from the treasury, ^hg bill
mpuded went to a conference
of the committees of both

tration bringing every iufiuenc
to bear to force it through on
some basis, so t|ia| it will be in
the hands of the president for
his signature not later than i
Saturday. The fight in the
conference centers entirely on j
the question of financing the
mpqsure, the Senate being in
filled to fight for aforty mil
lion bond issue, while the
House members are just as in
sistent t|i;U thirty-five million

CREW COMING ON ALKI
Frank Burkhart, who return

king for his can making
crew on the next Alki. The

first, then when enough cans
l ave been made for that place,
to move the machinery and
crew over to Sunny Point and
make the season’s cans there
too. This explains the early
start Frank is getting at Water

the snow has all gone on the
west coast, and the indications
are that the spring will be
