DRASTIC CHANGE IN
ALASKA FISHES! LAWS
BADLY FELT, SECTIONS
The nineteenth edition of the
Laws and Regulations for the Pro
tection of Fisheries in Alaska
which constitutes the 1933 fishing
regulations shows several changes
affecting the Copper River and
Prince William Sound area and the
clam fisheries.
The first change in the Copper
River area comes in Section 7 and
cuts down considerably on the
length of drift nets. Where pre
viously the length was 100 fathoms
for boats under 23 feet and 200
fathom for boats over that length,
the gill net length is now limited
to 175 fathoms regardless of the
length or size of the boat. The
King salmon season has been short
ened by one week and the gear for
these fish has been cut to 75 fath
oms instead of 100 as formerly.
The most drastic change comes
in the regulations for taking clams
in this area. Instead of one closed j
season in the summer from July'
15 to August 31. the season will
now be closed from March 1 to
I
'April 4 and from July 1 to August
j 31.
In the spring open season which
i is from April 5 to June 30, the to
tal pack for this area together j
with that of the remainder of:
Prince William Sound and the1;
Bering River area is limited to 27,- i
500 half-pound can cases or 1,140,
000 pounds of clams. During the
fall and winter open season which
is from September 1 to February
28. the combined total for the same
area is limited to only 100,000
pounds of clams, including shells,
or 2.500 half-pound can cases.
This regulation works tremend
ous hardships on the small inde
! pendent packers during the long
open season he is limited to a
| small pack while during the spring
i there is practically no limit so far
as the small canneryman is con
cerned, but he is limited to only
two months and a half in which to
make his pack.

I terested are requested to turn out.

1933 FISH RUNS IN
ALHSKA Will BE AMPLE,
! DECLARES OFFICIAL
l
The Department of Commerce
announced that the Alaska division
of the Bureau of Fisheries reported
substantial runs of salmon are ex
pected in territorial waters du
‘ ring the coming season. But it
j was not so certain about what the
: pack would be.
j That, it was pointed out by Den
! nis Winn, Alaska agent of the
1 bureau, depends upon the can
i ners- He is confident that ample
; salmon will be available for them,
i Packers are going slow in their
I plans for next season’s program,
i according to advices received from
prominent Seattle cannerymen and
officials of the Association of Pa
1 cific Fisheries. There are said to
be too many uncertainties in the
offing to make financing operations
other than intricate just now.
The major handicap is found in
price conditions which are so low
that there is no hope for profit
for the bulk of the pack, it was
declared. While there is no great
quantity of canned fish carried
over now, and the market will be
almost entirely bare of pinks and j
chums before the new pack reach- j
es the trade, the Japanese bugaboo t
is keeping the figures down to a re- j
cord low.
The Japs haven't marketed in1
excess of 25.000 cases of pinks to!
date in this country, and prob- j
ably haven’t got any great quan- 1
tity on hand available for export, j
but brokers are quoting them i
without limiting the buyers as to j
quantity. Depreciated Japanese'
money makes it possible for them j
to ship fish into the United States!
much cheaper than local packers
can produce the same variety of
salmon.
Uncertainty over the stability
of the regulations for the current
year has also been one of the de
terrants to the adoption of finai
plans by the packers. Fear has
been expressed that the appoint
ment of a new Commissioner of
Fisheries following President-elect
Roosevelt’s inauguration might re
sult of sudden changes in regu
lations issued by Commissioner
Henry O’Malley with results more
costly than the packrs could af
ford to bear.
For that reason, most if not all
of the packers are urging that Mr.
O’Malley be retained in his present
post until at least the close of the
commercial fishing season next
fall. No indication has been given
of what the outcome of their
movement will be.
Then this year is Alaska’s Leg
islative year. The Territory is de
pendent upon the salmon canning
industry for most of its revenues,
and the tax policies of the Legis
lature is of considerable import
ance to the packers who, as usual,
will watch the proceedings of the
1933 season with keenn interest.
Mos tof them realize the finan
cial status of the Territory is not
as bright as it was during the ses
sions of the past decade or more,
but they hope that the Legislature,
realizing the extreme plight of the
industry, due to the depression
and invasion of the local markets
by the Japanese, will at least not
raise taxes, and if it is at all pos
sible, will try to give them some
relief from burdensome rates.

TO TELL you that Chesterfield is the
only good cigarette . . . that the makers
of Chesterfield Cigarettes are the only ones
who can buy good tobaccos and manufac
ture cigarettes scientifically . . . would be
nothing short of foolish.
For all tobacco is sold in open auctions
—where anyone can buy if he will pay the
price. Even the machines on which differ
ent cigarettes are made are alike.
This much, however, is true: By using
the right kinds of Turkish and Domestic to
baccos in just the right proportions ... by
blending and cross-blending them together
in the most careful way . . . we make Chest
erfield what smokers say it is ... a cigarette
that’s milder, that tastes better. Just try them.
