A COMMUNICATION
_
The stand taken, and action of
Mayor Beegle against the gathering
of sainton eggs from Ketchikan
Creek, for hatching and transfer
t ing to other waters, has the en
dorsement of this community, but
is it to end here? He spoke of the
“salmon run" as one of Ketchikan’s
greatest attractions to the tourist
and of the decreasing numbers com
ing to the stream as compared with
past years, to which all can testify
who have lived here any length of
time and each season, until a
year ago seen the struggle of the
seething mass of salmon, as thous
ands upon thousands of them
worked their way- to the spawning
beds. Some years the run was
lighter than others, hence, when
last year some reported “No run of
salmon up the creek” I supposed
it to be simply lighter than usnal,
but I was not prepared for the sight
, that greeted my eyes when I visit
ed the creek and could not see a
; dozen salmon from any point in it.
> While it was a year for a light run.
j no one of the inhabitants of this
i section ever saw such a condition
i before, and this year there should
] have been a big run up the creek,
| which did not materialize, it being the
| Hghtesi I u. a- ever seen except
that of last year in my residence of
15 years in Ketchikan. There have
not been eggs enough taken from
its waters to affect it, so what is
! 14SIJ ipmu 001 A[diuig ; asnea am
i traps. This nutr.-r slieuid not
cf mere vital importance to any one]
than the tan.j-i -y n:n: but we can
I r.ot criticise the pr»sent methods of
] taking the sa’ non without incur
ring the ill will of those engaged ir.
the business while they persist in |
the annihilation of the “Goose that
iays the go Me i egg.” Dr. Jones
reports that th» seagulls should be
destroyed as the." pick the eyes ou'
of the salmon and the wolves and |
bears kill mne o their, as they
ascend the stream--, all of whi«*h
was silly “rot’ to blind the real
issue, as any boy of fifteen in
Alaska knows that the gulls pick
no eyes from the salmon until they
are practically helpless. The sal
mon canners have put up full packs
this year and for that reason argue
that the supply is not decreasing,
while our eyes tel! us that they are
not getting up the streams to
spawn. The fact is that fishtraps
are becoming more numerous and
are permitted to operate every
working day of the week, the full
24 hours. Suppose it were possi
ble by law to pass absolute title
to certain defined limits of the fish
ing domain to the various individuals
or companies: isn’t it probable that
means for conservation would be i
adopted ? The thrifty farmer makes
a practice of nourishing the soil
to prevent depletion and ruin, but
the valuable resources of our nation
are recklessly destroyed unless vig
orous laws are pased and enforced
for their protection. While selfish
interests still criticise the conserv
ation system in Alaska. I think j
it has prevented the wholesale plun
der of her great wealth of timber
and coal, and the same vigerous
watchfulness zannot too soon be
adopted for her fisheries.
Patriotism to the best interests
of Ketchikan demands continued ef
fort to secure a change in the pre
sent situation of the halibut ship
ping, and I cannot support the pos
ition of the Progresive-Miner that
we “Might as well try to make the
water run up hill as to try to legis
late a remedy'.” As a matter of
fact, if it were as easily accomplish
eh as the making of water to run
up hill, we need not be discouraged,
and the fact is that British Colum
bia legislated the market to Prince

Rupert and it is up to the U. S. to
legislate for its return to this
country. Moral suasion alone with
the transportation companies will not
accomplish it; and the Fish Trust
will obey nothing but business inter
ests and the enforcement of the law.
I do not think that the buyers of
Prince Rupert are more honest than
those of Seattle, but the advantage to
the fishermen is in the fact of the
nearness to the fishing grounds which
enables them to, personally, see their
fish weighed and classified. They
should be marketed at Ketchikan, not
Seattle or Prince Rupert.
Deleate Wickersham is reported
enroute south now and, as you state
in Saturday’s issue, he should be met
by the business men of Ketchikan
in a proper manner, and his assis
tance solicited toward securing some
of our urgent needs. Fairbanks
asks for $250,000 for public build
ings to accomodate the various gov
ernment officers quartered there, as i
any piace in the Territory, and per
haps we might have had it ere this
if we had been harmonious and ener
getic in our application, among our - ;
selves; but unity of action has not
characterized our previous efforts. !
It is not known just when Judge i
Wickersham will arrive, but it would |
seem proper to call a meeting, ap
point committees to invite hint, to
frame our demands etc., and in short
to arrange matters in a systematic
manner so that something may be
accomplished.
I think Delegate Wickersham is in
tent upon trying to do something at
the next session of Congress, and f
we are to expect a portion of the
feast, we had better get on the list.
