PLAYERS GET BUSY
If Ketchikan is to have a
basket ball team, represen
tative of this placj, it is neo
sary that players turn out U
practice. This does not mea<
the five members of the team
alone, as it is impossible b
practice without someone pla\
ii:g ag;.iu>t them. The sugges
tion has been made that Sheet
or four teams be organizer
here in town and form a leagut
so as to give our players
chance for actual practice un
der match game conditions
The Miner Man is of the opin
ion that Ketchikan has as good
basket ball material as can be
found anywhere, the only thing
is. it must be developed. This
is impossible, unless real prac

We have the material, w>.

admistered by the Department of
if (Commerce through the Bureau of
fisheries, will result most beneficial
!y to all interests concerned. And1

action would be a serious mistake
,nd would prove a lmndieaj to th
greatest development of Alaska s
-ieli fishery resources.
General Methods
Thete is probably no part of this
eat industry that has created more
•eiitroversy than the methods em
yel in catching the 00,000.000 s 1
on which are taken eaeh year fron
o waters of Alaska. It is tin
sy matter for those who favor
! . ,-t.sin forms of fishing aparatus to
I bimo those using other forms for
be alleged diminuation in the supp
v of salmon, but it is not easy for
i .1 is: t crested person to ascertain the
b'ive effect and place the res
■ ‘iisibility tor any injury that may
esult from any abuses of these
ethods.
The four principal methods are
: ip fishing, purse seining, haul or
•aeh seining, and gill netting. Troll
rg f >r king salmon is placed under
nether head- at it is so distinctly a
■ .arate business and so closely rft’ii
.te l with mild curing that an in
• pendent diesussion will prove more
elpful than to take it up with the
i- -pal methods used in catching
ski's enormous production of so*k
s. humpback, silver. and chum
non. I have studied these four
etlu-ls of fishing frotuan entirely tin
1 rejudiced standpoint.a nd 1 Uax e
ite-1 the various conditions and hr.-,
iewed them from every angle. In
”ii e parts -of Alaska certain con
It ions obtain, in others they are cn
irely different. Therefore, I will
ndoavor in this part of my report a
ell as un-ler other heads, to cose
•!1 phases of the question, looked t
nm all sides.
One of the tilings that impress
- most forcibly was the fact t
-•eryone that used any parti >
ind of fishing gear did so l e a s
• suited his conditions best an ’ It
■ause if was the best business mot-o
nd produced the best results. Ti ■
Vature alone is what every brslm
a man tries to bring out most c'.< r
v in conducting any enterprise.
Trap Fishing
In Alaska today there are so,. •.
jij traps. Of these, approximate.,
u per cent are in southeaster.)
waska. The condition of the watei
effect of the tides, and the
..iftness .'f the current, the character
of the bottom, and depth of wat
re ali contributing reasons why tie
raps are used in various place
Twer mena re required to operate
, trap than are needed to operate a
,;ji or a purse seine. Therefore,
th-r things being equal, this Is a
o.’i reason why the use of trap3 is
iper for the sake of economy In
.Lor. Any successful business eon
rn in the world today believes ir.
e most up to-date methods. T o
•-.niple, if a man hired 50 clerks a’
salary of sl-uoti a year each and
5 offered a machine costing $25
i which would enable him to dis
• is*- with 40 of these clearks at a
-ving of $15 000 a year, not to men
i n the time saved I venture to say
t ere is not a business concern but
' ,t would install the machine with
t delay. This is the exact situn
i n in regard to the fish trap. It
. ? labor and time, and T quite a
ee that the success of an industry
us the turning out of a goo <
•rricie with the least possible ex
nse and in the shortest possible
tine.
The principal advantages of the
■-in are these: First, the fish re
••in alive in the pot or spiller, thus
emitting their delivery at the can
•rv in better shape than when tak
by any other method of capture in
•g::e today, and second the trap is
■■■•: ionary and the Government of
Is or inspector, always knows
' ere • locate it. thus permitting
- ‘dation and control, quite dif
ait or almost impossible with purse
seines and other mobile forms ol
apparatus.
.Vow as to the objections: First
Mid foremost is the fact that traps
.'.tell not only salmon, but othei
inds of fish, which under present
conditions are not utilised. Second,
during the weekly close period the
owners of traps say bad weather is
e cause for not complying with the
ov and closing every Saturday night
a the hour; but while this may oe
eassionallv happen the closing is more
often neglected intentionally. A pop
ular objection to the trap is the fact
:!;nt it ' fishes day ami night, ami
i s takes too many fish, but this
lion is without merit, for the
; . on of a trap is to catch fish.
:nd. as mentioned before, all fish re
main alive until ready to be removed
from the pot or spiller.
I would suggest a curtailment in
: cities of traps, on account of
e ever increasing fishing and the
-iminution in some sections of the
supply of salmon. It is evident that
t o leads, which at the present time
" ay be of any length, should be 11m
•c-1. In waters tributary to Bering
Sea I would reccomcnd that leads not
exceeding 3,000 feet he permitted and
(hat in the rest of Alaska the maxi
! i:m length should be 2,500 feet. In
-s me cases the large number of traps
• viced close to the mouths of streams
•' ikes it almost impossible for an
equate supply of breeding salmon
*’ escape them and ascend to the
S vanning grounds. And especially is
it important to keep free the en
trances to those waters on which
hatcheries are being operated. It ap
•irs necessary that no trap shall be
-eeted closer than one-half mile to
the mouth of any stream and that
those already erected within this dis
t nee shall be' removed. The pro
■ -1 itii'u of traps and other fishing
■ mr within waters less than one
• f mile from the mouth of an."
j stream is to my mind tho^most in.
| : 'rtnnt feature in reference to the
reservation of the future supply of
s'ln’on in Alaska. As the law reads
today, traps must he at least 600
yards apart laterallva nd 100 yards
irt endwise. These distances are
inadequate, which is easily proved
1 the congestion of fishing para
emails that exsists in southeastern
' aska. A distance interval of at
>.s! 4,000 feet laterally and 1.000
t endwise seems fair and necessary.
T e jigger, concerning which them
’ t'een much comment and critic's -
'd n .t le prohibited, at it is an
’•rive and proper part of the tra
" “'me as the heart or the lead, or
’ other part. I think, however,
t :ts length should le limited te
yards.
Trap Sites

oulil be attached in a conspieioi
' ce in regulation letters required
* and n't placed on It on!’
en the trap is in opieratlon.
One very important matter that
s forcibly impressed me and other*
the desirability of requiring that
old piling be removed from an
bandoneil trap site. This should of
re" be done by the concern which
"cupies the site. There are many
diing boats and passenger boats
fraveling back and forth over these
waters each year, and the old trni
Tes are a menace and should be re
avei without delay when they are
uven up for fishing purposes. Theie
- in southeastern Alaska an aban
ned trap which had a lead of over
t ree-fourths of a mile and contained
•out 200 piles. It is not onlv a
’ enaee and danger to navigation, but
1 nuisance and trouble to the fisher
men and their boats.
Method Of Closing Traps
There has been no’ little agitation
anl controvesy. especially during the
st fishing season, regarding the
anner of closing traps. The law. as
t now stands, specifies clearly that
throughout the weekly closed period
f 36 hours the gate, mouth, or tun
»1 of all stationary or floating traps
all be closed and 25 fe<*t of we! -
'ng or net of the heart of snch trapis
n each side next to the pot shall be
ifted or lowered in such manner as
■o permit the free passage of salmon
at other fishes.
Tt seems unite clear that an open
mg of the full width of 25 feet, both
at tho top ami bottom, was intcndoi
by this act of Congress, For set era
sea.Mius past, however, it has beer
the custom to use shove-downs fasten
ed at the lower end of the pot. These
sliove downs have been laid at an
angle, thus causing the opening for
the passage of fish to be much nar
| rowtv at the bottom than the 23 feet
; ; res r:l ed by law; in fact, quite often
I 'e h n o-downs have been so short
| that ..t low tide no opening whatever
1 e\.- i-to 1. This is obviously wrong,
and notwithstanding previous cus
toms in the enforcement of the law
it is my belief that corrective mens
ures are necessary to prevent further
continuation of this unsatisfactory
method of closing traps. If, ns some
men eontend, it is impracticable to
open the heart walls on each side of
t ie pot for the full width of 25 feet
om top to bottom, the law should
0 revised. My belief is that it is
entirely feasable to provide such an
opening without working undue hard
ships upon the fishing interests. 1
do not think it necessary to drop
tiie web entirely to the bottom, but
feel that if it is lowered to approx
imately 4 feet below the lowest minus
tide all purposes will be served.
The complaint of some canerv men
that hardship will be inflicted by
the requirement that 25 feet of the
’■cart walls shall be opened to th *
ssage of fish at low tide as well as
igh tide does not seem well found
ed. as a competent and experienced
trap man is authority for the state
meat that it is quite possible to s >
■ instruct traps that it will not bo
particularly groat hardship to of
>>ct closing in this manner. He said
that of course at times when the tide
is strong or if there is a considerable
sea running there may be some
trouble in opening the full width of
: 5 feet. Ho further stated that if
the 25-foot feature of the law is en
forced literally the practice of con
struo-ting heart walls of wire netting
must necessarily be modified- in that
the 23-foot section will have to be
constructed of trap web rather than
>-;.re. He stated that haul-dows can
1 o attached on the pile next to the
not and the pile 25 feet away from
the pot. whereby the web can bo
’rawn l.own by means of a hand
•indlass of the type common in rats
>ng and lowering the pots. The we1
- "tiin thus lifted or lowered can
" attached at each side by means
rings sliding on a piece of cal !
•retched taut or on iron pipe.
Puder the circumstances as re
1 ed just above, and taking into ne
nt the need of imposing addition
restrictions upon trap fishing n
n hicted at present- I am disposed
recommend that hereafter no ex
r-t:on 1 e made in the requiremen’
at the heart walls of all traps op
■t ! in Alaska shall be opened fot
“ full width of 25 feet on eacl
-’ •e next to the pot, so as to permit
i .> free passage of s.anion and othe
- -bes. both at low stages and hi
igos of the tide.
There has been a tendency in sort
st Alaska to use aprons arcoss th
auth of the tunnel for dosing pi -
scs. This is a "ood method if ;
honestly applied, 1 ut in rev b-.i
"nt it is sueeptible of fraud, for it
.-p :te impossil le for a fiovernnier
•t —— to detoi*r>;no ei^ei t at rro-v
' enditure of time, whether th"
- ron extends to the bottom of the
np. This is an important point
i'lee the water is often 50, 60, o
• en 70 of 80 feet or more in depth
I the entrance to the pot, thougl
pot usually docs not extend to tin
1 Atom. Tt is my belief that th<
' iv should be made to specify that
the month of each tunnel shall bo
■'osed by both means of an aproi
■ nd by drawing the tunnel through
,n’t its entire length to one side of
* ’> pot. This double precaution will
• ssure a suitable closing.
Purse Seining
Purse seines are more numerous in
iaska than traps, and their aggro
ite catch of salmon exceeds that of
ips. Purse seines are used chiefly
in southeast Alaska, and there arc
i o neighboring districts where this
othod of fishing is particularly pre
lent. namely, Karta Bay an 1
olmondeley Sound, off the eastern
ore of Prince of Wales Island. B\
v of example of the heavy and coo
sted nature of purse seine opei
tioiis, it may be said that this past
il in the very limited area of theS"
o waters there were about 156
rsc seines fishing at one time. Th
' sherir.en use purse seines in eei
in sections of Alaska because n
tier kind of gear seems to answer
the purpose so well. As already in
dieated. this principle also applies tf
I trap fishing.
However, purse seining can not be
'•"commended as a desirable methm
of fishing, particularly for the reasoi
Hint it does not rank with the trnj
as a manner in which fresh am
wholesome fish are delivered at tin
canneries. From much personal ob
serration, there is no doubt in ni\
mind but that a fair portion of tin
fish brought to the canneries nnfii
for use have been in this conditior
| on account of tho rough frontmen.
; they have received at the hnuds of
1 the purse seine fishermen. Another
tiling is that a purse seine cun be
moved wherever the fishermen may
wish to take it. thus following the
fish into the very stream mouths, :
most objectionable practice.
As in the case of traps, the oper
ation of purse senies should 1,0 cur
tailed to some extent. Unfortunately.
: there are men engaged in the fishing
industry who care little for tho law.
! and in order to put a eliock on then
*it is necessary to have such legis
latiou as will insure its observance.
It is a common occurrence in south
eastern Alaska, when salmon arc
scarce and they have worked theii
way up to the spawning grounds, foi
; canneries to furnish the fishermen
i with short seines with which to go hi
stream and take fish from the spawn
ing grounds. With ordinary facilities
it is impossible for officers of the
Government to detect and stop al!
such illegal practice in the taking o<
fish. Therefore, I would suggest that
to remedy this situation it would be
well to abolish the use of seines
under a minimum length of 101
fathoms; and, further, to make tin
law stronger, it would be well to
make even the possession of nnv
such seine in Alaska under 100 futh
oms a violation ns much ns to be
actually caught using it. Also, as
with regard to traps, no purse seine
should be operated closer than half
a mile to the mouth of a stream.
This is a most important point in the
future protection of the salmon.
