OWNERS MUST CUT
SHARES SAY FISHERMEN
Seattle, May 28-The owners
of the Independent halibut ves
sels of the north Pacific Coast
have organized and will here
after treat with the fishermen
collectively. The latter have de
manded that the owners here
after fake as the boat's share
one-fifth of the catch instead
of one-fourth as at present.
The men claim that the short
age of fish is such that they
can not make anything under
present conditions, and that
there is more money fishing by
the pound than on shares.

GIVING ALASKA A CHANCE
There is a healthy and pleas
ing prospect that, the present
session of Congress will lake
some action looking to the un
bottling of Alaska. Encourag
ed by President Wilson and
Secretary Lane, Congress seem-;
to be taking some real inter
est in the distant gold lined and
coal burdened territory and to
he ready to do what should he
done to aid the development of
that much talked of and much
abused country.
Seven years ago Congress
passed laws to develop that ter
ritory. There was something
done and Alaskan trade began
to he a thing of moment to the
Pacific Northwest. The pro
cess was halted, however, a« a
result of the scandals growing
out of the Ballinger-Pinchot
case and since that time little
effort lias been made toward
an intelligent adjustment of
Alaskan affairs.
There is now a fair chance
of Congress giving the people
of the territory a chance insle id
of making them buy outside
coal or burn wood when there
is abundant coal right at hand.
There is also a chance of rail
ways being built by the govern
ment.
That is to say Alaska will be
opened, hut under such regu
iations as will protect all pul -
bo rights, prevent abuses and
will give ihe territory a chance.
Monopoly in one section will
not he permitted longer to cn
force a bottle up brand of con
servation in another and pos
sibly competing territory, ncr
will monopoly be given new lor
ritorv in which to work its will.
That is as it should he. Alaska
deserves a change.—Tacoma
Tribune.
The first boat to sail for the
Kuskokwim river this season
was the power schooner Ben

mining men went north on Ike

Wherever you see a
roofing advertisement
remember that its
words of self-praise and
description came from the
original advertisements of the
Malthoid Roofing makers—
The Paraffine Paint Co.
of San Francisco
and Chicago Heights.
Twenty-eight years ago
they said of their roofing all
the nice things that arc now said
of every other roofing.
These “others” have stolen
their words—
imitated their methods—
but they cannot duplicate the
quality of Malthoid roofing—
it always was the best and
always will be.
Whenever you see a
roofing advertisement think
of Malthoid the original.
