created a most favorable im
pression so that the belief in
Juneau now is that Sutherland
and the Republican legislative
ticket will carry Juneau.
Will Steel, candidate for
Senator, explained the legisla
tive program.
Sutherland and Steel left
Monday night for Skagway,
Haines and Sitka and announc
ed that later they would go to
the Southern section.
At the Commercial Club
luncheon last Monday the In
dustries Committee proposed a
resolution against the use of
herring for the manufacture of
fertilizer. The resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
Copies of the same will be
sent to the Governor, the Dele
gate to Congress from Alaska,
and others who should be ex
pected to use their influence to
protect the herring industry of
Alaska.
The text of the resolution is
as follows:
Whereas, in view of the rap
id depletion of the herring
fisheries by the wasteful meth
ods employed by those engaged
in the manufacture of fertiliz
er and whereas, the herring is
the natural food for other fishes
and is indispensable for bait
purposes in other fisheries and
is also, a very valuable food
fish for human consumption;
and whereas, we believe that
by proper restriction this food
fish may be preserved and in
creased; therefore be it
Resolved that we urge upon
Congress the necessity of pas
sing such legislation as will
restrict the fishing of herring
to that for human food and
bait purposes only, and that
herring shall not be used for
the manufacture of fertilizer.
Be it further
Resolved, that we urge that
the herring fisheries be placed
under the control and regula
tion of the Bureau of Fisheries
to be administered as the sal
mon .fisheries are now admin
intered, arid that the taking of
herring be closed in the differ
ent districts according to the
spawning season of herring,
except for bait purposes, and
the taking of herring in bays
and estuaries be prohibited, ex
cept for bait purposes and that
impounding of herring for food
purposes be prohibited- Be it
further
Resolved, that taking of her
ring for food purposes be con
ducted solely by gill nets, size
of mesh and length of net to
be determined by the Bureau
of Fisheries.—Wrangell Sent
