cered the Westward supply of
herring. The depletion of her
ring in Southeastern Alaska, had
caused change oi base of opera
tions to the Westward.
Heretofore, Mr. O’Malley lias
placed himself on record as be
ing unable io curtail reduction
plant operations ‘because there
was no law to govern.'’ He now
brands himself as being reckless
in his handling oi the truth—a
more gentlemanly term for a
rholder and uglier word that fits
his statements.
.What is good for the Westward
ere is, in the line of restrictions,
i j also good for the First Divi
sion, O'Malley is to be com
mended for curtailing the “wan
ton waste and destruction” of a
food fish in the Westward area.
Me will receive further commen
dation when he applies the same
i estnotions and prohibitions in
the First Division.

O’MALLEY PLANS NORTHWEST
FISHERIES LABORATORY
By L. F. Paul, in The Alaskan
“On May 21, 1930, the Presi
dent approved legislation passed
by Congiess which authorizes a
five-year construction and main
tenance program for the United
States Bureau of Fisheries. This
contains an item of $125,000 for
a fisheries laboratory in the state
of Washington. When the money
is appropriated, it is my plan to
locate the plant at Seattle on
land acquired from the War De
paitmcnt, a part of the old Lake
Washington Canal right of way
between Lake Washington and
Lake Union, adjoining the Seat
tle Yacht Club, west of Montlake
Avenue near the University of
Washington The site compris
es nearly seven acres. Improve
ments necessary for the proper
use of this site will include the
dredging of a channel, and the
building of a dock and machine
shop to serve as a place for dock
ing and overhauling the Bureau’s

fleet of vesels used in Alaska.—
Henry O’Malley in Pacific Fisher
man.
. . The people of Alaska should
be pleased with the above bit of
news. The syncopated, hyphen
ated, bureaucratic press of the
Territory should be proud of the
way their great hero, the King
of Alaska, builds up the Terri
tory.
Build machine shops, ship
ways in Seattle to “overhaul the
Bureau’s Alaska fleet.” Fortun
ate indeed is Alaska that the
Forest Bureau does not bow its
head to the Fifth Division.
Evidently there is no suitable
land and waters in the entire
Territory available for construc
tion of such a plant as contem
plated by O’M-’fley. And the
study of Alaska fisheries is more
important as an added course to
the University of Washington
than to our own Agricultural
College. It is evidently of great
er import to non-residents to
have opportunity to study in
such an institution in Washing
ton whereby they may be given
employment in Alaska and other
fishing areas than for Alaskans
to study in an Alaskan institu
tion whereby they may be em
ployed in the Alaska fishing in
dustry.
. As the sychophantic press of
the Territory has failed to sound
its praises of O’Malley for fur
ther building up Seattle at Alas
ka’s expense, we will humbly do
it for them. God bless the King
of Alaska; may the new king
live long and continue to depop
ulate Alaska and build up Seat
tle. The sooner he does this,
the better for Alaska for then
Alaskans will rule Alaska and
their failures and mistakes will
be chargeable to themselves
and not to any foreign poten
tate, sovereign or buric rat.
