In this column from day to day you
may see many things, things that are
true and things that are very near
the truth. But in any event if you
are a jolly good fellow you will smile
when you are wise and when you are
not, do as others will do, try and get
wise if you can.
Two weddings in the very near fu
ture are in store for Seward. Who?
We cannot tell you, but wait and see
if we are not correct.
Seward used to have several brass
bands, but since Ford took off the
brass bands we have them with us no
more.

So badly is J. B. 0. wanted by some

thru into dry territory in the medium

cocianuts.
The young lady at the dance Satur
day night who said, “My French heels
hurt me this evening,” wasn’t the only
one, for he told me, “they hurt him,
too.” How about it?
“Tango Toes” caused by excessive
darn ing constitute a prevailing defect
found among young men, so says an
army doctor. Xo such cases here, so
says George. They get around to the
dame about ten o’clock and are tired
bv twelve. Xo chance.
Six suffragettes arested for picket
ing in front of the White House at
Washington were recently released
from their prison, each declaring they
lost from four to nine pounds. This
is a good idea to follow. Xo chance
of failure this way.

The person who deliberately stole
the magneto key from the Ford auto
mobile standing in front of
Monday night, well, that is all right
where, is about the meanest man that
was ever born, so say both the young
man and the young lady, for both were
compelled to leave the car behind and
walk home. Better carry an extra key
is our advice.
We have been quietly tipped off to
1 the fact that an even dozen of Sew
ard’s fair young ladies have secretly
organized a club, the object ol which
is to spend the long winter evenings
in enjoyment without the aid of any
| of the young men. The name of this
club has not as yet been chosen and
we understand two Washington street
young lady members are already won
dering how they can withdraw with
out offending the other ten.
A little man carmTinto the office the
other day and said to me, “Ray, I want
to kill a printer.” “Any printer in
particular,” I asked. “Oh, no,” says
he, “any one will do, but I got to
make some sort of a show at hght or
leave home, since your paper called
my wife’s tea party a ‘swill affair.’ ”
No excuse of a typographical error
went with him, and it so happened
there w’as no printer working. He was
under a pile of scrap paper.

FISHING SEASON IN
BERING SEA ENDED
FLEETS IN HOMEPORTS
SEATTLE, Wn, Oct. 1.—The fish
ing season is ended in Bering sea, and
the cod and salmon fleets have ar
rived at their home ports in Washing
ton, Oregon and California or are on
their way thither. Each spring the
fleets make their way north, the cod
schooners with their holds nearly
empty and the salmon boats, mostly
sailing vessels, carrying thousands of
cannery workers, provisions and cans
and boxes for the season’s work. The
fisheries of Bering sea are among the
richest in the world. The cod banks
are as inexhaustable as those of the
North Atlantic, and the fish of both
oceans are of the same species and
value. The Alaska fisherman catches
the cod in the same manner as his
Newfoundland brother, with hook and
line cast out from a small boat con
taining one or two men. The Bering
sea codfisher does not encounter one
peril of the North Atlantic fisherman,
who fishes in the path of the great
transatlantic passenger steamers, but
he is beset by storm and fog, and
many lives are lost. This year the
cod boats did not do so well as in
their average season.
Some of the Bering sea canneries
had a poor season and closed early.
Others had prodigious runs of fish,
and used up all their cans. An accu
rate count of the Alaska salmon pack
has not yet been made.
Seattle has hopes of becoming the
headquarters of all the Bering sea cod
and salmon vessels by offering the
ships a free winter harbor in Lake
Union, which was opened to ships last
summer by the completion of the gov
ernment ship canal from Buget Sound
Twenty salmon vessels operated by a
single company will make Lake Union
their mooring basin hereafter, altho
the company will maintain its business
headquarters in another city. The
full-rigged ship Abner Coburn, the
lirst large sailing Yescsel that ever en
tered Lake Union, is a cannery ten
der. lJefore the war the cannery boats
| were idle during the winter, but ton
nage is now in such demand that the
best of them, as soon as they discharge
their cargoes, will be pressed into ser
vice as lumber carriers until the fish
ing season comes around again. Some
of the cannery vessels were famous
clippers in their day, carrying the
United States flag into every seaport
of the world.
Bering sea is walled off from the
North Pacific ocean by the Alaska pe
ninsula, the Aleutian islands and till
Russian islands east of Kamchatka.
Ice will soon begin to flow south thru
Bering strait, to close Bering sea tight
all next winter and spring. Already;
freight sUamers have left Seattle with |
the last cargoes to go up the Yukon
from the mouth, and the passenger
steamers between Seattle and Nome
have announced the dates of their last
sailings. The insurance companies
require vessels to be out of Bering sea
by a fixed date in autumn. After the
last passenger boat has left Bering sea
through Unimak pass the revenue cut
ters, which have protected the fisher
men and steamers during the five
months* open season, will also come
south, and Nome and the seal rook
eries will be left in ice and solitude
until next summer.
LANDS REVERT i
