Indications are that the small fisherman to the
Westward will make a lot of money this year, that
is what we call net results.
SAVING THE SALMON INDUSTRY
When crows were caught pulling up a New Eng
land farmer’s corn along about the year the Pilgrim
Fathers found time to put in a crop between picking
Indian arrows out of his rumps, society voted thumbs
down for the crow and his kindred. One must have
corn or crows and corn won.
But when the fisher “farmer” of Alaska complains
that various predatory elements, such as sealions,
gulls and their kindred are, like crows, taking a ter
rible toll of their raw material, and submit evidence to
prove it, they are met by the sentimentalities of those
steeped in the brow of* esthetic culture, which offer
a brief for scavengers of the deep as necessities
to sooth the delicate sensibilties of sight.
Hence we have such meddlesome personalities as
Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Audi
bin Society, New York City, importuning the Agricul
ture Department to put a ban upon destroying gulls
and other predatory birds.
According to Henry O’Malley, of the Fisheries
Bureau, it was necessary to slay gulls and submit
their stomachs to the learned sentimentalist to con
vince him that gulls actually lived on fish! That they
actually ate young fish! That being indiscriminate
with respect to palate, they considered a young sal
mon as toothsome as stickleback and far more easy
to swallow! Evidently the doctor has missed, the ex
citement of seeing a gull swallow an eight-inch herr
ing.
It might be news to the doctor to learn that a small
ganet, or sea pigeon, killed recently by a boy on Cook
Inlet, carried 37 inch-long salmon in its viscera; that
at the time the boy smashed a federal statute, there
were 23 such birds sniping baby salmon from the creek
while they were endeavoring to reach deep water. Mul
tiply 37 by 23 and we have a decimation equal to 851
salmon in" the two hours when the tide was running.
Continue this for a perod of a week or 10 days, as the
time when young salmon are leaving their cradle, and
one begins to learn what is depleting the salmon more
rapidly than trapping or overfishing.
It was not necessary for the New England farmer
to catch crows and submit their crops to academic
debate. The mere catching him in the act of pulling
corn was sufficient.
And salmon as a staple diet of food ranks along
with com.
It was after office hours, and the general mana
ger of the paper called the office boy to his desk.
“Here’s a lot of instruction from different people,” he
said, “telling us how to run our paper. See that they’re
all carried out.”
If Colonel Ohlson wishes to go down to posterity
as a public benefactor let him mix a few tons of Bu
hach with his coal and have the firemen open an en
gagement against the mosquitos.
The Alaska legislature sure legislates with promp
titude at times. Without dissenting voice, ancillary, in
cidental, unexpected, extraordinary, per diem and the
traveling expenses are enthusiastically passed on the
first ballot.
If Mr. Hoover really desires to get at the root of
the law enforcement problem ,he might lift a page
from he fifteenth century, history of England, and
like the serfs, begin hanging the lawyers.

HSLTED PUSS OUT!
I!
Mrs. D. C. Brownell, Mrs. Leonard i:
Hopkins, Miss Alva Peterson and ; |
Miss .Jaunita Lavelle returned yes- i
terday from Moose Pass and Hope \
after a few days outing and visiting j
friend* residing along the Moose j
Pass highway.
Inclement weather, an unusual j
condition in the district, caused j
ithem to shorten their trip. The j
| fishing, however, was excellent,
,judging from the full creels of
I beautiful trout brought home as
! evidence of their angling abilities. I
The hospitality of Mrs. Roycroft, j
Oscar Dahl and other residents of j
the Pass made the jaunt a delight- j
:ful one in spite of the weather man. !

■ S. Discoverer, sailed early yes

DICTATOR DIES

P. S. S. Co., is expected to arrive in
port from the south either late to

WHATS THIS?
To the great surprise of those
who observed what might be
termed a “summer phenomenon”,
a light fall of fresh snow was
i seen on many of the near-by
| mountain peaks this forenoon,
presumably a result of the storm
clouds covering the sky and
mountains for many days past.

his Nash car to Harry Miller of
