NEW ALASKA DIRECTORY.
—
R. L. Polk & Co., Directory Publish-1
ers, are now engaged in gathering in
formation for the issue of the 1917-18 !
edition of the Alaska-Yukon Gazetteer
and Business Directory. This well j
known firm has been publishing the,
Alaska-Y'ukon Directory every two
years since 1899, and their vast ex
perience of over forty years in direc
tory publishing, guarantees to the
citizens of Alaska and the Y’ukon, the
putting out of a work complete in de
tail in every respect. The directory
contains an alphabetical list of every
town, village and hamlet of the north;
an exhaustive history of each camp, its \
population, resources, accessibility,1
industries and general information re
garding mining, fisheries, agriculture,
etc., and a complete list of all resi
dents arranged alphabetically; also ai
classified list of every business ar- j
ranged by headings so anyone en-,
gaged in any calling whatever can
readily be located. The directory, in
fact, is the only source of information
as to the north and is used largely by
business men all over the northwest
and the larger eastern cities as well,
as copies are placed in directory li
braries throughout the United States
and Canada and in many of the large
hotels in New York, Chicago and oth
er cities.
Mr. H. P. Sootheran and a corps of
careful and experienced men in direc
tory work are now making personal
canvass of the various towns, com
piling information and statistics, and
by September 1st, the directory will
j be out and ready for delivery before
j close of navigation this season, even
to the remotest sections of Alaska and
i the Y’ukon.

CODFISHING
BOATS BOUND
FOR ALASKA
—
, SEATTLE, May 10.—The North
Pacific codfishing fleet of twenty-five
j sailing vessels, divided almost equal
ly in ownership among San Francisco,
| Puget Sound and Alaska is in north
ern waters, fishing along the Aleutian
islands and waiting for the ice to
break sufficiently to permit the boats
to operate in Bering sea, which is
closed half the year. The codfish
schooners are the first vessels to enter
Bering sea in the spring. The fish are
caught with hand lines operated by
men in dories, the same as in the
Newfoundland fisheries. The schoon
ers lie often for a long time in the
same place while fishing is good. The
men, each in a dory, leave the ship in
the morning and return at night or
when the dory is loaded with cod.
A gilded codfish hangs in the Mas
sachusetts state capitol in Boston, a
cod was engraved on the seal of the
Massachusetts colony, and the first
Nova Scotia bank note had a cod
printed on it, but the codfish of the
North Pacific ocean is unhonored and
unsung. Naturalists are still engaged
in controversy over whether the At
lantic and Pacific fish are of the same
species, butthe consensus of opinion is
that they are identical. When served
on the table the fish of the two oceans
have the same appearance and flavor.
For many years the North Pacific cod
was regarded as an inferior fish, and
to this day Gloucester codfish are sold
in retail store on the Pacific oast. The
Alaska cod, however, is driving out
the easterner, and even getting a foot
hold in distant markets, large orders
having been received recntly from the
West Indies and South America.
Fishermen say that the old prejud
ice against the Pacific cod was due to
the careless way in which it was han

died. In the early days the fish were
dumped into the dirty holds of the
fishing ships, the safting being badly
done. When unloaded the fish were
rusty, grimy and otherwise unat
tractive. Now the fish are prepared
as carefully as those of the Newfound
land banks. Each year the catch in
Alaska waters increases, the number
taken last year having been nearly
four million larger fish.
Fish experts say the North Pacific
cod fishery may yet outrank the sal
mon fishery. The fishing banks of the
Aleutian islands and Bering sea are
said to be as extensive as those of
Newfoundland, which are regarded as
inexhaustible. Several years ago a
few Gloucester fishnig schooners,
equipped with power, came to the Pa
cific coast, but they were not adapted
to the waters, and returned to Massa
chusetts. It is proposed in Seattle to
equip a codfishing fleet of steam
trawlers, such as are so successful in
the North sea. These trawlers, by the
way, have been most efficient British
weapon against mines and submarines
in the North sea.
The British navy has always drawn
many of its best sailors from the
North sea fishing fleets, and the New
foundland codbanks have been a train
Ing ground for the sailors of New
foundland, England and Can^d. The
same skill and courage are required
in the waters of the North Pacific,
where the fishermen battle with fog,
storm and frequently ice.
PROMINENT MINING
MEN AT SEATTLE
SEATTLE, May 22.—Bart Thane,
head of the Alaska Juneau company;
W. H. Bradley, of the Treadwell prop
erties, and W. H. Crocker, a mining
man of national reputation, are ar
rivals in this city from San Fran
cisco. It is reported that Thane is
going to British Columbia to examine
some mining properties there. It is
said that the party will return to
Frisco next week. It is predicted here,
however, that the visit of the party
has to do with the fate of the Doug
las properties, whether to be aban
doned or to be reopened by new
shafts and the immense reserves of
ore taken out from beneath the flood
ed workings.
