However, aa an interesting remlnis cenoe of events affecting the Alaakan , fisheries, It might be of passing value to west coaat men angaged In that In- , duatry. Data Xnf Bald Baok. In the muaty old data entombed for ao long In the archives of the bureau of , fisheries It being tha confirmed habit of government bureau to bring out trade data long after private aganclea have supplied auch data to those who need them are found these facta; "Tha number of' persons angaged In tha fisheries of Aiaaka In 110 was 15,620, an Increase of 1031 over 1909. Of these, 68S were whites, 4147 In dtana, 2411 Chinese, 1206 Japaneaa, ' Korean e and IS Filipinos, aa compared rlth 6C0S whites, 2823 Indiana, J9M Chlneae and 2159 Japanese In 1909, showing an increase In 1910 of' 122S whites. 1834 Indians, 418 Chinese and 47 Japanese. The most gratifying fea ture la the large Increase In the num ber of whites and Indians employed, as all of the Indians and many of the whltea are permanent residents of the . district The fact that the fishermen act aa sailors on- the transporting ves sels to and from the salmon canneries and salterles explains the small mem ber of transporters shown In the table as compared with the large number of transporting vessels. Quantity of Products. ' "The total quantity of products was 214,63,488 pounds, valued at l,25t, IS9, an Increase of 12,653,195 pounds and $2,078,471 over 1909. Except for salmon bellies and backs, fertilizer, oil, furs and hides, the weights are round weights, or the weights of products when first takon from the water; for weights of prepared products the reader Is referred to the subsidiary tables of tha report. As the packing establish ments almost Invariably catch their own fish. It has been found practically lm possible to show the value of the prod ucts as they leave the fishermen's hands, hence the values shown are for the prepared products. "The total Investment In the fisheries Is 120,711,422, an Increase of 110,829, 740, as compared with 1909. A consid erable proportion of this Increase Is due to the showing of cash capital Once mofd, this Item having been eliminated 'for the first time In 1906. Nearly all forms of apparatus show Increases as compared with 1909." ',' ' " ' ' ' Y " " ,'. ' Proprietor of Hubert Mill at V Wallowa is Fined, $50; V To' Screen 'Ditches.

(Halted Prraa Wire.) ; New Tork, May 8. Women school teachers of this city are raging with indignation over the affronts to mod esty .which 100. teachers suffered Sat urday at the city hall. These women were Imprisoned by a detail of police In the aldermanlo cham ber for two hours because the halls and corridors of the, city hall were Jammed with some 600 naked Marathon runners who swarmed Into the building on fin lshlng their race. The teachers were participating In a hearing of the stati legislative commit tee on the new charter. When tbe first of their number started to leave they found men arid youths lying down all over the building, waiting to be rubbed down. Cheeks aflame, the women re treated. The police then prevented, the women from coming out, but made no attempt to force the naked runners to leave the halls and corridors. Finally the police formed a double line through which the school teachers were able to pass without, being compelled to see the naked athletes. The marking of the Pacific highway, that was recently authorized by the Automobile club .of Seattle, has been already completed from Tacoma to the International boundary line, by the Se attle Motor club offlclala. A schedule has been arranged from Tacoma to Vancouver, Wash., on the Columbia river, oovertng the greater part of the coming week, during which time It Is expected that the Seattle "good roads" enthusiasts will be greeted by local representatives In the various towns through which the Pactflo highway passes, between Tacoma and the Ore gon boundary. While It Is anticipated that road con ditions from Chehalls to the Columbia river will not be as favorable now as they will later on, still there Is but little doubt but that both the truck and pleasure car that the party will travel with will have no difficulty In getting through. Carroll's Point, the worst part of the route. Is already open for automobile travel this year and Is near- Ing completion. This lelimlnates the , worst part of the Pacific highway In I the state of Washington. WALLOWA FINE STOCK Hermlston Butte Best Reservoir. 4tMMc:al Dlaontcb. to Th. Joorast.)
