SEME FISH BIKER
FEARS NO DEPLETION
Making a tour of Southeast Al
aska to observe cannery opera
tions and to get information rela
tive to the probable pack of fish,
E. B. McGovern, member of the
Seattle salmon brokerage firm of
McGovern & McGovern, one of
the oldest houses on the coast
visited Juneau headquarters of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries,
according to the Empire.
He is not alarmed over the fu
ture of the Alaska fisheries. He
doesn’t believe that depletion is
threatened now or that it will be
a menace in the future. Office
records in his firm’s possession,
and which were made in his fa
ther's time, contain papers show
ing, as far back as 1887, it was
believed the Columbia River fish
ery was exhausted and that no
more salmon would be taken there.
That was almost 50 years ago, and
the salmon pack from that district
is still important.
Mr. McGovern believes that the
voluntary curtailment of the pack
this season by pink salmon pack
ers was admirable and wise under
the circumstances. In his opinion,
the industry and the fisheries
themselves are better served by
cutting down the pack at this
time when prices received do not
offer any hope for profitable op
erations.

WESTWARD PACKERS
STILL IRE OPTIMISTIC
Although Westward packers have
had but a light pack so far this
season they have not given up hopes
for a big run, says the Seldovia
Herald.
Reports from Kenai state that
both the Libby and Northwestern
canneries were filled to capacity
for a day and a half stretch of a
recent week, and the Port Graham
canneries after a few days’ deliv
eries of from six to eight thousand
fish reached a 14,000 peak before
dropping back.
These so-called runs, however,
are regarded as merely sporadic,
rather as advanced scouts for the
main run that is confidently ex
pected.
After the shutdown of the Kam
ashack district, fishermen scatter
ed mainly to the upper inlet, bent
on gill-netting. The result of their
efforts is still comparatively un
known. As stated before the Sel
dovia and Cook Inlet men have
been joined by other fisherman
from other districts, principally
Cordova.
WIND CUT OFF
Alaska is suffering from strangu
lated circulation and its greater
need is a creation of arterial
ways to open it to a greater free-,
dom of movement to and from the I
United States, declared Charles F. |
DeGanahl, wealthy retired oil man j
of White Plains, N. Y., in a brief I
and forceful talk before the Juneau j
