AMOUNT ALASKA FRESH
FISH TO ALASKA PORT
For the calendar year ending De
cember 31st last there were shipped
lrom Alaska to the United States over
nine million pounds of fresh fish,
which were sold at the waterfront cf
the various northern ports for $496,
653, according to U. S. customs fig
ures. But figures which the U. S.
report does not show are that the
same amount of fish was sold in the
retail market for $2,805,314, or a
profit of $2,408,661, which went to
t lie retailers and after paying for ex
press charges and spoils, there was
still a tremendous profit over the pur
chase price of the wholesaler at Pa
cific waterfronts.

WENATCHEE, Wash., tiec. 6.—
Lying frozen to deaDi, hal^ submerg
ed in a creek, the body of pay E. Sl
monds of North Yakima, £6 years of
age, was found yesterday by search
ing parties on Prince creek, in the
wilds of the Chelan mountains, 29
miles from the nearest habitation,
Stehekin, Wash. Death resulted di
rectly from exposure and hunger.
Slmonds was lost Monday a week ago
while bunting deer.
With Wm. N. Cleaver, he left Che
lan 10 days ago on a deer hunt. The
two camped at the mouth of Prince
creek the first day. Next day they
started up Prince creek, goin^ seven
miles through wilds when thev found
they had left their baking powder be
hind.
Cleaver went back for It while
Simonds went hunting On his re
turn, Cleaver found Slmonds missing.
He signaled all night, but received
no answer. Next morning he sought
assistance. Searching parties were
organized and 'although Sin-ends’
tracks were Seen a tftHiiber of times
in the snow he was not found until
yesterday. When discovered the body
was lying, partly submerged, in a
creek. His rifle was badly battered.
He had the same number of shells
with which he left camp.
The body bore no marks except a
bruise on the forehead. Friends be
lieve he became lost and wandered
around until he exhausted himself.
He had plenty of matches and was
in a thickly wooded country, with
plenty of game, and it is hard to un
derstand his panic.
