ROADHOUSE MEN
IT OBEYING UW
Believed that Judge Bunnell will
Show Roadhouse Keeper Error
of Their Ways.
According to late arrivals from the
interior some of the roadhouse keep
ers along the winter road are not liv
ing up to the law passed by the last
session of the territorial legislature
requiring roadhouses to keep a re
cord of all persons who stop or pass
the places. They are a few, how
ever, who are living up to the letter
of the law and are doing all they
can to keep track of everyone who
passes their roadhouse.
Judge Bunnell, of the Fourth Di
viison, is coming over the road from
Fairbanks to Valdez, and it is be
lieved that he will see to it that the
negligent roadhouse keepers observe
the law in future.
This law applies to every trail in
Alaska and was placed on the statute
books owing to the strong demand
that some record should be kept
which would enable the tracing of
missing persons and to prevent and
detect crime. It is believed that had
the system been in effect in former
years that the shocking trail mur
. ders would not have occurred or that
the guilty parties would not have
been enabled to get out of the coun
try before the crimes were revealed.
The Hit of the Year.
Tonight at The Liberty Theatre the
funniest comedy ever seen in Valdez
will be shown. A laugh from the
start to the finish. Be sure to see
"His Fatal Wedding,” nothing but
fun and joy while on the screen.
Mrs. John Johnson and sister, of
Ellamar, came up to Valdez on the
launch Shamrock, to spend Thanks

EDITOR OF LESLIE’S
VIEWS ALASKA FISHERIES.
As 1 saw the steamship taking on
thousands of cases of salmon at Sel
dovia, I asked Mr. Randolph how long
the flsh then being shipped had been
out of the water. He said: “Only a
day. They go from here to Seattle
and can be on your table in New
York in three or four weeks after
they are caught.” Fresh fish!
Mr. Randolph said that one of the
choicest delicacies he 'ever ate was
a mess of breaded broiled hearts of
the big king salmon. Some of these
flsh weigh 180 pounds each, while
the red or “sockeye” salmon weigh
only eight pounds. “They taste like
sweetbreads,” he added, “and it is too
bad they are being wasted.”
And so are the fine large livers, as
large as your hand, and the spawn
which if it was sturgeon, eggs, would
command a high price for caviar.
Plans to utilize some of these prod
ucts are being studied by Mr. Ran
dolph and by others. Another tidbit
is the little chunk of sweet, tender
meat lodged in the cheek of the sal
mon Just below the gills. The can
ners reserve such delicacies for their
friends and themselves, but the time
will come when they will find special
mention on the menus of the highest

priced restaurants.
The canners get at wholesole only
about 13 cents for a one-pound can
of the best red salmon and only half
the price for the pink, and even less
for the white. The red salmon con
stituted only three-sevenths of the
pack, but three-fourths in value of
the entire product. The public pre
fers the red meat and is willing to
pay double price for it. So much for
gratifying a taste.—J. A. Sleischer.
