FISHING LAWS FOR VL V>h \
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-E. A.
Sims, a Washington State Represent
ative in the state legislature who has
been here for the last few days said
that he had come to the capital to add
his voice to others in urging upon j
congress the necessity of remedical
laws for Alaska.
Mr. Sims said that he would confer,
with the department of fisheries in re- j
gard to the proposed legislation. As
it is now* Mr. Sims said the fishing
laws of Alaska make no provision for
the location of traps and the acquir
ing of property rights by cannerymen.
The halibut need attention and many
other things that should be attended
to now before the whole of the fish
ing industry is destroyed. Delegate
Wickcrsham will be appealed to in the
matter.—Ex. •

Councilman Britt at the Council
meeting last evening stated that' the
legislature passed an act that the
mayor, city treasurer, city attorney
and city clerk were to be made elect
ive, and that each city of the first
class was to vote on the proposition.
It seemed to bo the sentiment of
the councilmcn that unless the citi
zens themselves petitioned for a vote |
to be taken on the question at the
next regular session, it was not up
to the council to take action.—Juneau
Dispatch, Dec. 4.
