TO REGULATE THE FISHERIES
According to a wire received from
Juneau last night, the House yester
day passed a substitute for Senate
Memorial No. 5. pertaining to the
salmon fisheries. Tho substitute is
as follows and is o f such a nature
as must meet with the approval of
every fair-minded man in the region:
Substitute For Senate Joint Memorial
Number 6.
Be is resolved by the Legislature
of the Territory of Alaska.
Thnt we do hereby respectfully
memoralizze and petition the Con
gress of the United States as follows:
First: That all taxing power over
the fishing industry of Alaska be ves
ted in the Territorial Legislature only.
Second: That an adequate number
of fast patrol boats, properly equip
ped, and manned by competent, ener
getic and reliable officers, be sup
plied for the strict and impartial en
forcement of the fishing laws govern
ing the closed season and other reg
ulations of the fishing industry.
Third: That the rebating of taxes
by the government, in consideration
of the release of salmon fry is the
most pernicious, obnoxious and un
just law now- upon the statute books
pertaining to this Territory. We
strongly recommend that the Govern
ment take over and operate all salmon
hatcheries in Alaska.
Fourth: That the use of herring
and other food fish of Alaska for the
manufacture of fertilizer be prohib
ited.
Fifth: That markers and monu
ments be established to fix the mouth
of each salmon stream, and that no
trap be permitted within one-half
mile of the mouth of nny commercial
salmon stream, and that no seines or
other fishing gear be allowed within
one thousand feet outside of the
mouth of such stream as so marked.
Sixth: That a severe penalty be
imposed upon any person obstructing
the free passage of salmon in any
stream in Alaska by barricades or
other artificial barriers.
Seventh: That the fishing season
tie closed in each of the several sec
tions of the Territory on certain
specified dates, to be regulated ac
cording to tho conditions and species
ot fish which are taken in the several
sections, and that only those who
have full knowledge of these condi
tions shall be designated to act in
the matter.
Eighth: That the present law be
so amended as to prohibit aliens en
gaging in the catching of fish in the
waters of Alaska.
Ninth: That the leads of fish
traps be limited to a maximum length
of not to exceed 2.500 feet; and that
When People Ask Us
what is good for nerves and lost weight,
we always recommend

the jiggers of fish traps be limited
in length not to exceed 150 feet.
Tenth: That the present law re
garding the full opening of twenty
five feet in the heart walls of trap
be changed to read: “That between
the hours of six o'clock p.m. on Sat
urday and six o’clock a.m. tho follow
ing Monday of each week the en
trance of the hoart of fish traps shall
be closed by placing an apron across
the entrance thereof, running to the
bottom of the trap and the lead next
to the heart to be opened to a dis
tance of not less than ten feet at low
water mark. ’ ’
Eleventh: That in consideration of
the conservation of salmon we woull
earnestly call your attention to the
necessity of destroying the natural
onemy of tho fish, and earnestly re
quest that a fund be provided to proo
ecute such work. This has special
references to Bull Heads in partic
ular and generally to all other en
emies of the salmon fry.
Twelfth: We are heartly In ac
cord with the laws now In existence
providing punishment for wanton de
struction or waste of any of the food
fish of Alaska, and deplore tho lack
of enforcement of the same as at pres
ent. We b-fievc this law should be
rigidly enforced to the end that this
valuable food supply, becoming more
nnd more essential to the welfare of
our people, be safeguarded in every
particular and at any cost.
Thirteenth: That the control and
regulation of the fish and fur bear
ing animals and game, an inherent and
sovereign right oft he American people
in the exercise of local police power,
should be vested in the Territorial
Legislature.
And for the favorable consideration
of the provisions of this petition, we,
your memorialists will ever pray.

HUDSON’S BAY CO.
CLOSES AT FORT GEORGE
Fort George,—A sail event in the
history of the West, and one which
brings home in a marked degree the
transformation which is taking place
in tlio one-time frontier, is the clos
ing up of the Hudson’s Bay Company
post here after 110 years trading.
This event occured this week' owing
to the fact of the company’s post
being for the time being sidetracked
owing to the development of the city
at some distance north of their old
location.
The Fort George post was founded
about 111 years ago by Simon Fraser
the great explorer, who, as an officer
of the Northwest Company, establish
ed this post when on his voyage of
discovery down the great river that
bears his name. He called it after
the reigning monarch of the period.
Fort George has continued, ever
since that date, as a trading post. The
first location of the post was on the
n -rtheast corner of land which is now
the Indian reserve, but the location
on which it stands today lias been
the location of the post for the past
forty years or so. Many a sturdy
pioneer has come and gone as officcr
in-eharge of the staunch old post, and
through the days of the preliminary
surveys of the C. P. R. forty years
ago, before the Rogers pass route had
beeu chosen by the C. P. R. engineers
Fort George played an important part.
In latter years during the survey and
construction of the G. T. P. many
an important plan was thought out
and arranged within the bleak walls
of the old post. • All through the
many years of the past the men of
che “silent places’’ have bartered
there with the. Indians, and carried
m the work of civilization which the
great trading post brought to the
West_Prince Rupert News.

QUICKSILVER DEPOSITS OF
THE KUSKOKWIM REGION
Tho central part of the Kuskok
wim basin is the only portion of Al
aska where, up to the present time,
lode deposits of quicksilver that have
attracted serious attention have been
discovered. That there were depo
sits of quicksilver in this region has
been known since 1880, but not until
tho summer of 1914 wero they visited
by members of the Geological Survey.
At two localities on the Kusksjtwim
—the Parks prospect and a prospect
near Kolmakof—some quicksilver has
been produced and sold to the miners
of tho adjacent region.
Both of these prospects are situated
close to tho Kuskokwim river—a large
stream navigable in summer by good
sized river steamers for several hun
dred miles abovo the easternmost of
the known quicksilver prospects.
Ocean going vessels can ascend the
Kuskokwim to a point within 150
miles of tho westermost prospect.
The river is open for navigation from
June to September, inclusive, but
during most of the winter even Ber
ing Sea, beyond the mouth of the
river, is blocked with ice. Small
timber suitable for mine use Is fairly
plentiful in tho better drained low
land areas, but on the hillsides it sel
dom extends to elevations of more
than 500 feet above the Kuskokwim.
Only a few settlements have been
made in the Kuskokwim basin, and
probably less than 100 white people
live in that part which lies west of
the eastermost place where quicksilver
lias been found. Few except the most
ordinary supplies can be bought in
the region, so that equipment for ex
tensive mining or prospecting must
be brought from the States. Only
two small power schooners or boats
on special charter, visit the region
once or twice a year, and no regular
line of passenger steamers call at the
Kuskokwim_-Government Report.

ERRORS OF SCULPTORS.
Statues In England Noted For Crude
Blunders In Modeling.
Some of the statues in public places
In England are notable for certain
unique symbols or glaring errors in
modeling. One of tbe former kind Is
the statue of Sir Anthony Ashley at
Wlmborne, Dorset. Carved out of a
stone at tbe feet of tbe figure Is a
faithful representation of a cabbage,
Indicating that Sir Anthony introduced
the vegetable from Holland into
England.
Even more peculiar is tbe carving
on one of the four panels on the Queen
Victoria statue in George square, Glas
gow. The subject is the knighting of
James Anderson, the lord provost of
that city. As no sword was available
the ceremony was performed with an
umbrella, and the substitute has been
copied by the sculptor. This same
statue Is Incorrect in one important
detail. The stately pose of tbe horse
Is negatived by the position of the hind
legs—a position which Is only possible
when a horse is racing at full speed.
Perhaps the worst equestrian statue
in the world is that erected In front of
Trinity college, Dublin, to the memory
of King William III. Among other
fanlts. one of the forelegs of the horse
Is straight and the other curved con
siderably. yet both hoofs meet side
by side on the pedestal.—London Spare
Moments.
Our Longest Canal.
The longest canal In the United
States is the Erie canal, which covers
a distance of 387 miles. The Florida
East Coast canal is 350 miles long and
runs from Mayport. Fla., to Miami.
The Miami and Erie canal, between
Cincinnati and Toledo, O., is 274 miles
long. There are three canals in Penn
sylvania. the Schuylkill Navigation
company, between Mill Creek and Phil
adelphia, 108 miles; the Pennsylvania,
between Columbia. Northumberland
and Wilkesbarre. 193 miles, and the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation company,
between Coalport and Easton. 108
miles long. The longest canal in Eu
rope is the Berlin-Stettin. 120, and the
next longest, the Suez, 103 miles.—Phil
adelphia Press.
Beauty of Zambezi Falls.
To realize fully the wondrous beauty
of the Zambezi falls, ltbodesio, one
must have time to linger and watch
the ever changing scene. The depths
of the chasm below are veiled from
sight by the rising columns of opales
cent mist and above the yawning
abyss the sun glints and sparkles,
weaving the drops into a magnificent
rainbow. Three hundred feet below
roars and boils the swirling hood as It
emerges from the Boiling Pot rushing
on down the zigzag gorge between tow
ering cliffs of rock, narrow, fierce
and of unfathomable depth.—African
World.
