UNCERTAINTY OF FISHING INDUSTRY
WARNING sounded by Mr. O’Malley to the effect thal
“ever increasing use of fish will ultimately mean thal
none could operate on a profitable basis in the salmon in
dustry,” indicates that he is evidently preparing to issue
additional regulations with respect to fishing.
So long as these regulations carry with them a sufi
cient period of time to permit of the cannery operators
and those engaged in other branches of the industry tc
prepare for the change a minimum of inconvenience anc
loss will be experienced. If, however, Mr. O’Malley re
peats the action of a few weeks ago with respect to the
Bristol Bay region and the herring industry in the vicinity
of Kodiak Island, the wisdom of his action is questionable,
It has been authoritatively reported that herring saltery
men had prepared to move into the native reserve waters
of the Westward just prior to the issuance of the ordei
prohibiting whites fishing in these waters- The result was
that the operators were compelled to sustain a loss includ
ing their season’s supplies and wages of saltery employes;
that these latter, under the contract signed, lost a season’s
wages.
The question of conserving salmon and herring is
fraught with many complexities, but in the general debate
one feature stands out as apparently having great merit.
This is the recommendation that means be employed for in
creasing the aids for salmon to multiply by clearing the
streams of obstructions and keeping the spawning beds
free from predatory enemies and pollution*
On this question all cannery operators and some mem
bers of the Bureau of Fisheries agents stationsd in Alaska
are agreed.
Yet, as far as can be learned, the work of clearing
streams, placing fish ladders and blocking out the swarms
of trout following the spawning salmon was carried on
but one year.
An illustration of the importance of this work is of
fered in Bear Lake, five miles north of Seward. A glacier
stream has broken into the lake, polluting its waters. It
is a great salmon spawning body of water. The salmon
have just started to run, yet they are scarce in the muddy
waters of the lake.
The run next year will be influenced by the failure to
employ a fewT men to divert this glacier stream. •
As long as there is any method of increasing the num
ber of salmon, it would appear that it should be employed
rather than trying the cure-all of overnight orders which
strike not only at the salmon cannery men but at the entire
coast population in Western Alaska.
It is suggested that part of Alaska be leased to Cana
da. Don’t do it. The remaining citizens of Alaska
might be tempted to stampede over there in search of
freedom.
It would appear that, reduced to the concrete, the
Angelus Temple squahbel is a mere matter of division of
the spoils.
COULD HAVE HAD IT
j BUCHAREST, Aug. 2. (&)—Queen
Marie told the Associated Press last
night, in a long interview, with
emphasis that she had never sought
nor would seek in the future the re
gency of Rumania. “Had I desired
to become a regent,” she said, “I need
only to have told the King and he
would have arranged it either imme
diately or in his testament. As his
i widow and one who shared his re
■ sponsibilities with him for 13 years,
( it is a duty to give all my energy,
strength and devotion to the good of
my country. That w^s the King’s
dying wish.”
; OBERLIN COLLEGE LAYS
: CLAIM TO “SKEDADDLE”
OBERLIN, Ohio. Aug. 2. (/^—“Ske
daddle!”
; The Warning cry employed in the
} Civil war by Union forces which found
i themselves tightly, pressed by Dixie
troops wras the invention of Oberlin
College men, alumni assert.
It w*as originally a corruption, they
say, of “skedannumi,” a Greek wrord
, meaning “to scatter.”
Gen. Miles W. Shurtleff, professor
at Oberlin, commanded a regiment of
negroes, and many of his subordi
nates were from Oberlin, where stu
> dents knew their Greek. Corrupting
the Greek word, officers and negroes
alike evolved “skedaddle,” which
found its wray into the dictionary as a
coloquialism and spread throughout
the country, even across the Mason
Dixon line.
