STRIKING CONTRASTS
I YING at the wharf today is one of the prettiest and
^ most modern vessels engaged in the services of the
Federal government. She is the Delwood, cableship.
Over in the roadstead, one may see another splendid
example of modern ships in the Surveyor, engaged in geo
detic work in Alaskan waters. Last week another pretty
and modern craft employed by the Federal government
docked in Seward. It was what may be termed a palatial
little yacht, furnished the Fisheries Bureau Bureau of
ficials for cruising in Alaskan waters. From week to
week spick and span Coast Guard Cutters nose into the
harbor, awakening a sense of pride and elation over the
sea arm of Uncle Sam’s prowess.
But walk down aboard the Bureau of Education
steamer Boxer, now lying at her berth, and note the con
tract. She is about what one might expect in a tramp
whaler, the last resort of an impoverished skipper for a
trading boat.
The Boxer represents an aid to an industry valued at
more than three millions of dollars—the reindeer indus
try. In addition she, as has been pointed out by this
newspaper, the most powerful weapon ever directed
against savagery (in this sense “savagery” means illitera
cy affecting both white and native).
It has long been a source of wonder why this make
shift vessel has been supplied the Bureau of Education,
which, in its functions in Alaska, is performing a greater
service to the nation than all the warships of the navy, or
the police forces called upon to combat derelictions of
mankind.
Yet the representatives of the Bureau of Education,
laboring under many handicaps, are thankful for even
this crude vessel, tl is the only connection between the
native reindeer owners and outside markets- However,
its inadequacy, imperfection of structure and general
“haywire” aspect is a reflection upon the department in
Washington, as are many other things for which the
“buck” is often passed to the men on the ground, who la
bor under great difficulties, yet are making good far be
yond opportunities offered.
We’ll agree to the abolishment of capital punishment
whenever the criminals stop it too.

URGE INCREASE FISH
WS THIS SEISON;
ESTIMATED IT 810
Last year there was a total of 676
trap licenses issued from the U. S.
Engineer office of the War Depart
ment, of which Colonel J. G. Steese Is
the Alaska head. Up until about
three weeks ago there had been 700
odd licenses issued for this year and,
according to Lance E. Hendrickson,
inspector for the department, who left
Seward this morning on an inspection
trip of fish traps in the Prince William
Sound district, it is expected at least
800 licenses will be the mark this
season. This department is only in
terested in fish traps from the stand
point of navigation and the annual in
spection is made for the purpose of
seeing that fish trap's owners live up
to conditions. Mr. Hendrickson will
be absent for at least a week on the
P-rince William Sound trip during
which time he will visit all traps in
that vicinity. The M. S. Discoverer
has been specially chartered by him.
Up6n his return he will leave direct
for the Juneau office. Mr. Hendrick
son said there were a total of 89 fish
traps in the Cook Inlet district, 26 in
the Kodiak Island region, 23 on the
Alaskan Peninsula, and ten in the
Chignik district. The number in the
Prince William Sound area was not
known at the present time but will
be upon his return. With the excep
tion of the fish traps further West
ward it is readily seen that the ma
jority of the fish traps are located in
Southeastern Alaska waters.
Around the False Pass and Chignik
areas a poor run of salmon has taken
place thus far, but all in the Cook Inlet
an exceptionally good run has been
experienced. Both small salmon
plants at Seldovra have their packs
already up and "will probably pack a
number of thousand in addition. Ev
ery indication points toward the Cook
Inlet area anjoying the best run of
salmon of any district in the Terri
tory.
.
The regular weekly business meet
ing and luncheon of the local Cham
ber of Commerce takes place next
Tuesday at noon at the Seward Grill.
Tourists on board the S. S. Yukon,
due in port early tomorrow morning, j
included Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Felton,
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Dexter, Mrs. L.
Cortenhoff, Miss Mendenhall and
Mrs. May Mendenhall. All will
leave for the Interior trip.
