SUBJECT: Fall fishing for salmon
in Southesat Alaska.
Hon. Das. Sutherland,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Sutherland:
The receipt is acknowledged of
your letter of the 24th instant sug
gesting that the Alaska fishery re
gulations be modified so as to per
mit fall fishing in the southeastern
area, this giving additional employ
ment to the local population asd
enabling those canneries desiring to
do so to remain open for the pack
ing primarily of cohos and chums
which run at that season of the
year.
I have no objection to a reason
able amount of fall fishing, and very
careful consideration will be given
to the authorization of such opera
lions. One of the reasons why fa.ll
lishing has not been deemed wise in
certain places heretofore has been
the fact that frequently late-appear
ing humpbacks would loiter in the

bays and off stream mouths for a
considerable period and fall fishing
might easily result in the capture
of appreciable numbers as well as
of cohos and chums.
If it is decided that fall fishing
can be permitted without jeopard
izing the future supply of salmon,
notice through supplementary regu
lations will be given far enough in
advance to enable those interested
to take advatage of and make pre
paration for such operations.
Thank you for calling this matter
to my attention.
Very truly yours,

Charles Benjamin, of Wrangell,
was a member of the House last ses

gislator and particularly a friend of
the fishermen. He is now running
for the Senate and should receive
their united support.
