ANTI FISH TRAP
BILL DISCUSSED
IN LEGISLATURE
Consideration of H. B. 34 which in
effect abolishes the fish traps now in
use in Alaska was the special order
of business before the committee of
the whole recently in the house.
Robert Oliver, fisherman of Ketchi
kan, upon request addressed the com
mittee in favor of the l ill which \v'»s
prepared by himself acd which has
been introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Casey.
The Alexander bill now ponding in
congress was read by the cloik. This
bill favors traps. Oliver attacked the
bill and stated that the main object
of H. li. :’»4 was to defeat ‘he Alexan
der bill. Continuing th»' speaker saul
the fish traps give a mo no pen/ or con
trol ot over 50 per cent of the salmon
caught in Alaskan waters; that th<
canneries can control the price of fish;
that during the past two years lisher
men, especially' the Natives, hod re
ceived but one and one-half cents pe»
fish, that is, for a salmon weighing
from five to seven pounds; that th*
fishermen cannot make a decent livinp
at this price; that the price of canned
salmon in the past two years had ad
vanced from 05 een*s a dozen cans,
hunchback, to $1.40. He stated that
the tish trap is not an appliance fot
resident fishermen; that from $2,700
to $7,000 is required to put in a trap:
that the Native fisherman now earns
about $50 per capita from salmon fish
ing per season, not enough for him te
live on during the winter months; that
the traps are not owned by Alaskans;
that they are rapidly being put in:
that certain companies or corporations
owned as many as eighteen traps.
In summing up Oliver said thr
Alexander bill should be killed; that
resident fishermen should be allowed
to make a decent living; that compe
tition in the fish business should be
kept alive; that Southeastern Alaska,
and all Alaska, if the traps were abol
Uhed would be greatly bencfitted.
Representatives Daly, Murry, Mc
Cormack and Speaker Hess took an
active interest in the discussion of this
important measure and asked many
questions endeavoring to find out
wherein the bill under consideration
would correct the evil, if one existed.
The house carried the measure on
the calendar for further consideration.

NEW STYLE GUN
PLAYS HAVOC IN
ENEMY’S LINES
LONDON, April 14.—The Mail pub
lishes the following:
Acounts of recent fighting on the
British front have referred to the
deadly work of our Stokes guns. A
“sinister weapon," our special corres
pondent has called it. “It sends up
into the air, like a group of lead pen
cils, a flight of bombs, which sail down
t
onto their objective with deadly ac
curacy and a terrific explosive effect,"
was the description of its action. The
Times correspondent has written of
the “coruscations of a ball of Stokes
bombs * * * most awe inspiring
both in appearance and effect."
At the front the gun has been re
garded for many months with in
creasing enthusiasm. Officers and
men have said that it is by far the
most effective short range weapon we
possess.
A wounded soldier wrote home:
“Tell dad to let Mr. Stokes know that
1 saw the way his gun blew the Huns
to blazes. The Germans can’t stick
it at any price. All you could hear
was, ‘firing up the Stokes guns and
get them in action.’ The boys thought
I was mad. for every t me a Stokes
shell burst l kept shouting, ‘Another
one from Ockham.'"
Wilfred Stokes, the inventor of the
gun, lives at Ockham, near Ripley,
Surrey. Ho has said that had it not
been for Mr. Lloyd George’s foresight
his invention might have gone on the
scrap heap.
Asked how he came to invent the
gun, Mr. Stokes said: “A friend of
mine came back from France and told
me he was convinced that this wai
was a battle of wits, and that the side
which could produce the most effec
tive death dealing machines would
win.
“I am a pcaecful man and had never
wished to invent a gun that would so
much as lift an eyebrow, but this idea
just came to me after what my friend
had said. A good deal of experi
menting, chiefly on my own ground at
Ockham, ended in the production of
the present gun, the chief characteris
tics of which are simplicity, ligthnes:^
and quickness in firing."
