REMOVE SEA OTTER RESTRICTIONS
Reports from the Westward and from several other
sources along Alaska’s great coast-line are practically
unanimous in declaring the rigid regulations covering
the sea otter should be removed; that the animals are
becoming as thick as flies and there is no reason why
taking of sea otter should be prohibited. The Bureau
of Fisheries is the sole autocrat of this business whereas
the public should be the benefactor.
The Gateway welcomes communications on individ
ual views on this subject which has too long been over
looked.
PLENTITUDE OF “JUSTICE”
Two men arrested on Glacier Highway, near Juneau,
with liquor in their possession, were recently fined $500
and given respectively, six and eight months in jail.
If they had stolen a naval oil reserve or a few mil
lion gallons of whiskey from a government warehouse,
they would now be basking in the genial warmth of i
Santa Monica beach with brainy lawyers to protect them
from annoyance.
There is lots of justice in this great land of democ
racy for anyone foolish enough to have a pint on their
hip.
TROUT TAIL BOUNTY SHOULD BE INCREASED
The news that the reward or bounty on Dolly Var
den trout tails has been cut to two cents per tail on the
smaller size is a disappointment to Westward residents.
It would seem that in order to give young salmon
their needed protection the price as originally established
should be maintained. In justice to the canneries, who
pay into the Territorial coffers the greatest amount of
taxes and who have guaranteed payment of this reward,
additional Federal or Territorial appropriations should
be made.
REDISCOVERING ALASKA
Dr. Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institute, world
famous scientist who has been making annual visits to
Alaska for the last three years, is in the North again;
out Westward where it is believed the country is ethnol
ogieally important, that region having been a point of
contact for the Athabascan, Innuit and Aleut stocks.
It is regretted this versatile scientist can not spend
more time in Alaska. His friendly attitude and neigh
borliness has done much to apprise the public of. the
scope and importance of the work being accomplished
by his associates and himself.
Alaskans generally will be glad to hear that the red
salmon run in Westward Alaska is expected to be good.
Every indication has borne this out. The canneries sus
tained a terrific loss last season and, with the pitiful
short season in which they are permitted to fish, are
hard put to pack sufficient reds to cover the millions
annually invested. And, above all these things, the
greater their success the more funds, from taxation of
canneries, are annually released by the Territory.
The presence of a large increase of U. S. Geological j
Survey parties in the Alaska field this season will un- ’
doubtedly result in both practical information of value
to the prospector and enabling scientists to properly in
terpret facts relating to adjoining and distant sections.
Some men think they would make good political
timber simply because they pine for office.
