BE DEVELOPED
JUNEAU. May 31.—(By mail.)—
“This country will some day unques
tionably be a big producer of shell
fish,“ stated (Jovernment inspector E.
p. Walker of the fisheries bureau of
the department of commerce, in
charge of the Southeastern Alaska di
vision. who is now in the city with
Special Agent August H. D. Klie.
Inspector Walker, whose headquar- J
ters are at Wrangell, looks after the
fishing interests of this section, re
ports on conditions, investigates the
causes of depletion of certain fish and
also acts as government fur warden.
He stated yesterday that he had re
cently been engaged in investigating
the various shell fish of the territory,
especially scallops, oysters and other
members of the crustacean family;
that there was no doubt of the exist
ence in Alaskan waters of an abund
ance of these bivalvular products and
that especial attention was being paid
to the development of scallops. “We
often find them in nets and fishing
gear which indicates that they abound
and in order to get the scallops con
siderable digging is necessary.” said
the inspector.
At present the government is send
ing Klie. herring expert, to Alaska
to instruct the fishermen and others
in the Scotch methods of curing the
herring. He is cooperating with the
officers of the bureau of fisheries*
•

of Klie and who will upon request
