(By W. A. S.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18.—
Various people living along the
Yukon river have written the Del
egate asking that he exert his in
fluence with the Bureau of Fish
eries to the end that fishing op
erations might be conducted at
the mouth of the river. After a
very satisfactory conference with
Commissioner Henry O’Malley last
week the Delegate received a let
ter from the Commissioner reading
as follows:
“Confirming our conference of
today regarding the opening of
the Yukon to a limited amount of
fishing: For a long while I have
been favorable to an opening of
the legal area of 500 yards off the
mouth of the river where gill net
fishing can be conducted, but I
feared that if it were thrown open
and the salmon market became
stabilized, operations may become
so extensive as to be harmful to
the river.
“After our discussion, I have
arrived at the definite conclusion
that fishing operations can be per
mitted on the basis of allowing
50,000 to 60,000 King salmon to be
taken. This, in my judgment, will
not encourage any large canneries
to go into the field but will permit
the local people to sell and ship
their product to the States.
“I shall, therefore, recommend
to the Secretary of Commerce in
the regulations that will be issued
in December, 1931, that the river
be opened to King salmon fishing,
limiting operations to King salmon
gill nets, and limiting the season
to the time when the bulk of King
salmon are running. There will
undoubtedly be some chum sal
mon caught but only a limited
number, iiv my judgment, and will
not interfere with the people liv
ing along the river who depend
on catching salmon to dry for
their own food and that of their
dogs. I hope that this action
will bring about a small industry
at the mouth of the Yukon, con
ducted by local people. You may
give this such publicity as you de
sire.”

Major General Geo. S. Gobbs,
Chief Signal Office of the Army,
has decided that the petition from
residents of Unalakleet, asking
for a radio station at that location,
cannot be favorably considered at
this time. By reason of financial
limitations this new station could
only be established by curtailment
of service elsewhere, and the Ma
jor General says that such a move
would not be in the best interests
of the Territory.

An effort is being made by Er
nest Walker Sawyer to interest
Eastern capitalists in the develop
ment of antimony in Alaska. He
| submits reports to show that there
are large deposits of high grade
antimony ores in the vicinity of
the Alaska Railroad and contig
uous to the excellent harbor at
Seward.
The Pacific Frosted Foods, Inc.,
with unlimited capital, expects to
send two investigators to Alaska
this summer to determine just how
advantageously the Birdseye quick
freezing process can be applied to
the preparation of reindeer for
shipping.
