ALASKA LAST
CHANCE FOR
I i!
"In California, Oregon and Washing
ton and Southern British Columbia
t-.atex>, aimon i'sherman look up fro n
their ru t* and ask, ‘Where do we go
from here, boys?* The cunnerynr n
reply. ‘To Alaska, the last chance.’
In these v.ords the Alaska fish a : i
liame club of Juneau, in a report cov
er ing fish depletion n'udc to l honot
liigg-. Jr., governor of Alaska, sums
up what it calls “a miserable contest
between nature and man.” The re
port was made public by K. J. White
chief of the official Alaska public t;
bureau.
“Strenuous efforts must be put tor**i
for the ’ maintenance of the salmon
attacked as they are, by the fisheries
during the most vital period of their
existanoe, the spawning seasons.” th.
I
report continues.
•‘When the fish are taken in th »
spawning season, not only is the li h
forever lost, but billions of eggs that
I might reproduce the kind are gone.
When it is considered that an adult
female salmon contains at bast thro,
thousand roe, that it took •'#0,000,0! 9
. ar.d an equal number of m; 'e
fish to supply the pack of 1917 and a
, like number for that of 1918 assuming
that the run is equally divided bo
lt ween the sexes, what a tremendous
' loss it means for reduct:on and main
tenance.
“It is truly wonderful that the sw ••*>
has survived the handicap. Nature
is st ruggling desperately against man
but be is going to beat her in Alas’ •
as well as elsewhere and the race b.
approaching the finish.”
In a statement accompan,,:,i«r tb«* r
port, Mr. Whit** asserls salmon a”
becoming scare, r each y-*nr iti loca’it*
ies where canneries have been operm
ed for any considerable period r*
| years.
“When the matter of depleting th**
i -Vlas’.a waters of fish is mentioned
the statement is invariably made t*u
Alaska’'' output of canned and f'•«'-•
fish is increasing with each succeed
I ing year.” Mr. White says. Whi*
I th(» statement is partially correct, t’»
increased output is due solely to t
fact that many new canm res an ’
salterios are being installed evm •
year and the waters are being fishe
more thoroughly than ever before*. ’

since the vails of the government l;r

!n glancing over the fiscal year erdc«
June JO, 101X, it is seen that
tons of L"nited States coal . vabt

from Seattle. In addition to the d*e
