Inquiries for quotations on the food fish are pouring Into Seattle from all sections of this couutry and Europo, and with the providing of sufficient transportation facilities a hugo "clean up" will take place. Such Is the enthuslastlo declaration made today by salmon canners and statisticians, following the announce ment that the present reason, although falling on a year following a quad rennial "big run" when the salmon flood Puget Sound waters, would pro duce a pack of 600,000 cases on the Sound alone, including heavy gains at Bellingham and other points. In 1913, when the fish, according to the law of nature flocked to Sound wa ters after three years of small catches, an unusually large pack was made, but advance figures for this year's produc tion indicate that tho pack thlB year will not suffer. At Bellingham it was said that the pack from the Sound would total 275,000 cases as against 260,000 cases four years ago, the cor responding "off year," or year in which no "big run" took place. The entire Northwest pack, includ ing Alaska and British Columbia, will reach the enormous total of 5,257,500 cases, according to an estimate made by Miller Freeman, secretary of the salmon canners* associations, and while reports from Southeastern Alas ka indicate that rainy weather has in terfered to some extent with the catch In that vicinity, Western Alaska will produce an unusually large pack and other gains are predicted for other sections. Season Leads 1912. While an Immense quantity of fish was taken from Puget Sound last year during the big run, the 1914 seah son will lead that of 1912, an "off year," by 50,000 cases and under normal con ditions In Southeastern Alaska would duplicate the same feat with the year 1911, which was remarkably large. With the exception of other "big years.' 'the present pack will lead pre ceding years outside of 1912 and 1911 by at least 1,000,000 cases, it is be lieved. Despite the unfavorable weather con ditions, the Southeastern Alaska pack is expected to total 1,600,000 casos. J. T. Barron, president of tho Thinklet Packing company, carefully investigat ed conditions In Northern waters dur ing August and on his return to Seat tle prepared figures indicating that the total from this region would be 800,000 cases below the first forecasts made early in the season. On August 15 the pack in this dis trict amounted to 1,203.000 cases, with the red pack completed and the pink pack practlcaly finished in two-thirds of the section. Two hundred thousand more cases of pink salmon will be packed, it is believed, and the remain der will comprise chums and cohoes. Western Alaska will produce a total of 1,400,000 cases; while British Co lumbia is credited with 70,0000 and Central Alaska with 445,000 cases. Tho Columbia River district is expected to yield 337,500 cases. CARRIER PIGEONS ARE USEFUL IN ALASKA ?+? FAIRBANKS, Sept. 15.?It was the intention of the millionaire hunting party when It left Fairbanks last night for the ML McKlnley country to take with it some carrier pigeons which were to be turned loose from time to time with messages from the boys. However, in the hurry of departure they were forgotten. Perhaps they will be taken in later over the trail from here. The plan is entirely feasible. Four years ago Fred Douse sent several to Iditarod with Mrs. Carrie Stover, who expected to keep them there. True to their homing insticts, how ever, they started for Fairbanks as soon as they were able to escape and reached here without difficulty. It is a great wonder to those who know of the practical uses to which carrier pigeons may be put, taht more of them are not used in Alaska where very often messages of im portance might be sent from remote points easily and safely?Fairbanks News-Miner. LONDON FINANCES ARE BEGINNING TO IMPROVE NEW YORK, Sept. 5. ?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.?The total wheat and flour exports last week amounted to 6,000,000 bushels and 144,000 barrels respectively. This compares with only 1,308,000 bushels the previous week and 5,577,000 the corresponding time last year. CARNEGIE INCREASING HIS STEEL HOLDINGS NEW YORK, Sept 6.?Andrew Car negie Is said to be a heavy purchaser in United States Steel corporation bonds, which are now selling at par. He is already the largest holder of these bonds. HIGH WATER KILLS FORTUNE IN FOXES I To secure soveral excellent speci mens of live fox, to build castles In tne air regardlug tho starting of a mr Turin, and to loso the animals in a raging torreiH, was the fortune, I good ana bad, tbat overtook William L.tnk almost two months ago in the Donnitlold country. Llnx, who Is a prospector and trapper, reuchod Fair oauks recently, and tho story that ho tells is an Interesting one of good fortune, which later turned Into 111 luck. During tho eurly part of June, Link caught four live pup foxes. Two of them wero black, one was an excel lent silver gray, and the fourth was a cross breed. The quartette made an excellent start for a fox farm and the owner started Immediately to figure how many dollars they would bring within a few years. Shortly after catching tho animas, however, Link's supply of grub be gan to run short, together with his ammunition. He tried to feed tho ani mals as best he could, on anything that he could find, but as his own supply of food dwindled he doclded to return to town and bring tho foxes with him. The foxes wero small, and he had no difficulty in carrying them, as ho placed them In a box, wjhlch in turn was placed on a packhorse. Upon reaching tho Totalanlka, the river was swollen by tho recent rains and was apparently impassable. Had the trap per had more grub he would not have attempted to cross under the condi tions, but bolng almost desperate, he started to ford the stream. Tho horse lost its footing and was swept under a sweeper, taking with it practically the whole load. While the horse was being washod under the sweeper, the owner attempt ed to cut the rope holding tho box of foxes, and thought ho had it, but found that it was only his blankets that he was saving while the foxes were washed downstream. Tho value of tho foxes which were lost is approximately $4,000, according to Air. Link, and he would not have accepted $5,000 for them as ho ex pected to start a fur farm.?Fairbanks Times. FAIRBANKS NEEDS CHEAPER PRODUCTION The timo will come when the fer tilo valleys of Interior Alaska will support a large population. Agricul tural development Is going ahead nip idly, considering tho manner in which the country is hampered, and each sea son furnishes additional evidence that the Northland some day will be al most, if not quite, self-supporting. When that time comes, it will matter little to Alaskans what takes place in other parts of the world. Wo will bo independent of those captains of fl nance who lay awake nights figuring out schemes for adding to their pro fits at the expense of the common peo^ pie. We will be independent of the men who control the markets of the United States and who are boosting the cost of living so rapidly that only the moderately rich can keep up with it. We will have our own crops to carry us over the wintor, our own coal to run our machinery, and plenty of gold for the purchase of those things which wo must buy elsewhere. In tho meantime, "however, we aro up against a tough proposition. We are dependent upon the markets of the Outsido for practicaly everything that we eat and wear and use in our mining operatious; our transportation facilities aro inadequate and the cost of fuel is such that our chief industry is seriously crippled. In fact, we have gone about as far as we can under the present condition. Further develop ment is impossible until tho cost of op eration is reduced. We must have cheaper power and cheaper provisions. In the present undeveloped state of our Territory, we cannot hope to regu late the price of provisions. We must pay whatever price is demanded. But there is no good reason why we should be without cheap power so long as there is an abundance of coal and water power in the Interior. We can hnvo it if we will make an effort to get it, and when we do get it, we will have paved tho way to better times in Intci'lor Alaska. ? Fairbanks Times. CABINET'S UNKNOWN QUANTITY. Thomas Watt Gregory became a Special Assistant Attorney-General of the United States on the strength of his work In anti-trust prosecutions as special counsel for the State of Texas. He is named to succeed Mr. McRey nolds as Attorney-General on the strength of his work In the Depart ment of Justice, where he Is best known for his handling of the New Haven case. It is testimony to his strong quali fications for the higher office that In his prosecution of tho New Haven case he sought none of that publicity which might have made him better known to the -country at large, and was content with the consciousness of having performed a laborious work with care and thoroughness. But It Is none the less true that he comeB to the Attorney-Generalship with a wider reputation to make than has been the lot of recent occupants of tho office. Mr. Gregory Is presently the un known quantity in the Wilson Cab inet.

HONOR AMONG FOES. War necessitates suspension of many privileges which aro rights in time of peace. In fact, business honesty in some cases becomes national treason. A British merchant is not allowed to pay his debt to a Gorman creditor. Hence, tho announcement from Mon treal that the imperial government has Instructed the Canadlun Pacific Rail way to withhold dividend payment from stockholders In Germany and Austria. It does seom unfortunato that when generous investors in foreign lands have been broad-minded enough to help develop an English dominion, they should bo discriminated against now that a state of war exists. But such are the fortunes of war. There may be honor among thieves, but as far as paying over money is concerned, there can be none among foes.?Boston News Bureau. A LONG WAR. Lord Kitchener's warning that tho war may last three years or more and that it will Btrain all tho resources of the British Empire is a professional opinion that cannot be waved lightly aside. Now that the allied forces have ex perienced their first serious defeat, nnd the temper and purpose of Ger man Imperialism are more clearly re vealed, it must be plain to London and Paris alike that this Is no holiday war. me North sutrered two years of almost continuous defeats before It began to wear down the reslstenco of the Confederacy. It Is not Incon ceivable that Great Britain, France and Russia may battle a full year be fore the military strength of German imperialism is seriously weakened. When all tho impedimenta of civili zation are thrown aside, armies can remain In the field as long as they did in Napoleon's time. In a conflict of this kind the advantage rests first with tho power that can Immediately put the greatest number of trained soldiers into action. In a long-drawn out war the final advantage rests with the powers that have the superior natural resources, as it did a century ago. It all depends on tho temper of the contestants nnd the sacrifices that they are prepared to make. "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will bo given for his life." If Great Britain and France are deter mined to throw their last man and their last loaf of bread into the bal ance before making peace with Gor many on any terms except their own, no man can guess how long such a strugglo may continue. If the result is to be determined by strategical triumphs .in the field, no man can guess how soon it may bo finished. The Germnns are now whero they expected to be three weeks ago; but the tremendous Gorman military ma chine is working with startling pre cision despite the setback at Llego. If Paris and London are chagrined by the first defeats of the allied forces, they must begin to realize that tho war is barely begun and that there will be many other bloody battles be foro the tide of German invasion can bo rolled back. The struggle for the mastery of Europe, Asia and Africa is not a campaign but a death-grapple. "Others go to battle," said Tacitus of the Catti tribesmen; "these go to war." Great Britain and France are squarely confronted with a test not merely of their military gonlus but of all their Vital resources as great nations and of all their tenacity of purpose to remain great nations.

The news of tho strike was carried to Fairbanks in a letter from E. Ham mer, who spent nearly a year on the claim on which the strike was made at a depth of 120 feet. The letter said: "We have drifted toward the left limit and have uncovered about thirty feet of what 1 call good pay. Rest prospects were In the face when we quit. How much further It goes I do not know as 1 have not the time at present to go ahead. I also put one thaw upstream about ten feet back from the face which pans good. Pann ed one bucket that ran from 15 to 25 ' cents a pan. Rocked 200 pans out of the dump. I have no scales but judge we got between $10 and $13. I am satisfied without a doubt that we have good pay." The Fairbanks News-Miner says: "The strike Is on Kenyon creek, a tributary of Healey river, eight miles above the Healey. It Is 94 miles from there by trail to McCarthy, then 13 miles up the Tanana river to the Clear water roadhouse. From there It is 27 miles to Healy po3t, at tho mouth of Healey river, and 8 miles further to the strike. This makes a total of 48 miles beyond McCarthy, which Is tho end of the automobile road, or 142 miles from Fairbanks by trail. Steam ers navigate easily to tho Healey."
