How to prosecute naer 45 fishermen
who are engaged in herring fishing
in the Afognak forest and fish cultur
al reserve in defiance of the third ju«
dicial district, was revealed by Assis
tant U. S. Attorney W. H. Hodge at
Cordova, before whose attention the
matter was brought while on his re
cent official sojourn in the Westward.
The Bureau of Fisheries agent at Ko
diak has threatened t prasecute half
a hundred fishermen, but they merely
gh on fishing, disregarding the warn
ings. Obviously they have been ad
vised on good legal authority of the
agent’s powerlessness to prosecute
them.

It seems that although President
Benjamin Harrison as early as 1892
set aside by proclamation the areas
in question for forest and fish cultur
al reserve purposes, still the procla- j
mation carries no provision for enforc- j
ing its declarations and no law can be
found under which violators can be
prosecuted.
Since the fishing waters, extending ,
abot one mile around Afonak island,
are included within the forest, re-;
serves and so protected by Depart-:
ment of Agriculture regulations, the 1
Department of Commerce regulations j
have omitted that the area specifically
from the jurisdiction of the Bureau of j
Fisheries. The Department of Agri
culture regulations in reference to
game fishing hold good only for fish
| ing on the forest lands and have no
| power over waters immediately sur
j rounding the island reserves,
i Thus the fishermen keep right on j
fishing in flagrant defiance of the j

Yes! This Washer does the LAST
HARD Half as well as the Washing
♦
TO have complete relief
from washday drudgery,
you must have freedom from
the Last Hard Half—hand
rinsing and all wringing. The
Wringerless Savage Washer
and Dryer does this Last Hard
Half for you!
Savage Users Avoid
Washday Fatigue
///PS?'
ON washday do you labor with your
hands in hot water? I'M you use set
tubs for rinsing and bluing? i V. you handle
the clothes piece by piece? you strain
your back and risk personal injury feeding
them through a wringer? If so you are
needlessly doing hard and hazardous work
If you do the rinsing and feed a wringer
you yourself are doing the Last - lard Half.
For at most, washing and bluing is onl\
the first half of the complete job. \ , *(. .
But remember, you can own a washer,
the wringerless Savage, with its Spin
Rinse, Spin-Dry” that saves you the Last
Hard Half—hand rinsing and all wring
ing, as well as the work of washing. And
it’s safe!
Picture the Savage doing this for you!
In a few minutes it washes everything
thoroughly. Then without putting a hand
in the water the clothes are spin-rinsed in
the same tub by a flowing spray of fresh
hot water direct from the faucet. In two
minutes shut off the water; then, without
any effort on your part, the Savage spin
dries the whole load in one minute more.
s
Already over 100,000 women are letting
the Savage, with its “Spin-Rinse, Spin
Dry” do the complete job for them.
Why not permit us to show you how
the Savage does the complete job — wash
ing, rinsing and drying—in less time than
you can do it by any other mechanical
method1
For we will gladly show you, without obli
gation, in your own home how the wringer
less Savage ends the Last Hard Half.

OLDTim STILL PRNS
FDR GOLD ON BEACH
“Whisker” Rill is the same merry
old soul as of old and is still as active
when weather permits as in the days
of yore, panning for gold on the beach
at Sand Point. Bill has been panning
the beach for 20 years and is said to
be making a fair living at it. He is
one of the oldest of oldtimers to the
Westward, but is still following the
rainbow trail with all the eagerness
of a youth, confident that one of these
days he will uncover another famous
beach digging similar to the famous
Nome strike.
In 1903-4 fully a hundred men, min
ers all, cavorted up • and down the
beach panning and rocking the gra
vels, rich in free gold, rotten quartz.
It is estimated many thousands of dol
lars were uncovered from the beaches
around Sand Point and though it is
claimed the workings have petered
out, “Whisker” Bill is still on the job.
