DUTY ON FROZEN HERRING
A * decision just handed down by the United States
Court of Customs with respect to importation of herring
will be received with gratification by those engaged in
that industry in Alaska. Under the decision frozen her
ring will not be received free of duty, on the same basis
as fresh herring, but must carry a tariff of one cent per
pound.
The case arose over the importation from Nova Sco
tia of seven lots of herring, which were involved as “Fro
zen Sea Herring/' Fresh Sea Herring Frozen" and
“Fresh Frozen Sea Herring."

The Agricultural Department has received an in
crease of $4,851,997 of which $2,500,000 goes to meet the
increased cost of the continuing program of forest road
construction. The amount set aside for endowment of
agricultural experiment stations under the Purnell act is
increased $480,000.
The Seattle Star complains that other cities have
received a lot of publicity through having a good myth
while Seattle can only claim that its chief myth is a lisping
man talking to a flapper. What is the matter with that
one about “We wish to do something for Alaska?"
In view of the facts that none of the members of the
Legislature had announced any definite program of legis
lation prior to election, it would seem that about the best
service they could render with respect to laws is not to
pass any. r
Among the items carried in the rivers and harbors
division of the national budget are the following for Alas
ka: Nome harbor, $27,500; Wrangell narrows, $250,000.
Now it is less difficult to understand what is meant
fey “fall money."
Thank goodness the girls are chewing gum instead of
tobacco.
Friends are those who stick to you in spite of all your
successes.

Y. M. C. A. orchestra and the announc
ing by R. M. B.
Everything was clear and distinct,
notwithstanding a bad storm raging
on the Gulf of Alaska and Prince Wil
liam Sound and a 50 mile breeze blow
ing here in Seward.
The Associated Broadcasters are to
be congratulated on the putting out
of such a fine program.
With best wishes for a Happy and
Successful New Year, I remain,
., Sincerely,
