PERHAPS THE TROUBLE LIES INLAND
"" It would seem in view of the strenuous efforts of the
Bureau of Fisheries to find ways and means to perpetuate
the industry they would take into consideration the mat
ter of the salmons most harmful of enemies, the sea
gull. Clearing the streams and protecting salmon from
gulls, we believe, would help a lot in propagation.
The Gateway is in possession of photographs record
ing the presence of gulls on a lake 75 miles from salt water
Where the salmon spawn in shallow water tjhe gull
will wade in and “ nose out the eggs.” This in itself is
harmful to the industry and expensive to the country. If
he hunted out one egg at a time he might be tolerated but
this is the very least harmful act he does.
His chief offence is the destruction of the parent sal*
mon before spawning. This is accomplished by the ex
tremely cruel method of picking the eyes out of the living
salmon wherever found unprotected by sufficient depth
of water.
It is not uncommon to see dozens of gulls continually
circling, falling, rising and falling again striking out the
eyes of the salmon as they attempt to pass up stream over
a shallow bar on their way to their spawning ground.
Since the average number of eggs to each female is
something over 2,500 it is easily seen that for each mother
fish killed the potential 2,500 fry are also killed. And this
takes the gull atiput one minute to accomplish.
More stringent regulations on the sea will not do
much good if fry continue to be exterminated annually
in this fashion.
Perhaps, if as the scientists declare, the fishing areas
are being depleted, the prouble may be inland and not in
the sea. .
The greatest hero between Armistice Day and Christ
mas is the fellow who can keep up with all the football
games.
Several politicians of these parts are not wondering
so much where the national convention of the opposite
party will be held as why.
If you can’t see anything in your job stand off and
take a peek at pourself. Maybe, you'd find out what's
wrong.

LIKE (EMII DISTRICT
Residents and game in the Kenai
Lake country were shaken up abit
yesterday when that region was visit
ed by three earth tremors. The first
quake came at about 7:30 o'clock in
the morning the latter two following
in sucession. i
It was thought at first that a snow
slide had let loose from the mountain
tops but when the second and third
shocks came they knew it for what it
was.
Throughout the entire district cab
ins were shaken to the very founda
tions but as far as can be learned no
material damage took place. The
shocks were brief but violent.
