MAKES PROTEST
CLOSED SEASON
Westward Cannery Man Says
Reservations Driving Com
pany From Field
H. O. Roberts, of the Kodiak Is
land Fishing and Packing Company,
of Uganik and Seward, plants being
maintained at both places, passed
through on the Northwestern and
in a statement declared that the
proposed closed season in his dis
trict, “puts our company, composed
of Alaskans, Anchorage and Seward
residents, out of business entirely.”
Mr. Roberts said that of 15,000
cases of salmon packed by his com
pany this season, only 800 cases were
of red and the remainder pinks.
“The red salmon has been practi
cally depleted in our district and
conservation will not bring them
back to that locality. Our company
was formed three years ago and
have much capital invested. First,
we were required to observe a closed
period of 30 hours weekly, which
was gladly done. Then came along
the 60 hour period, and we obeyed.
But the present closed season, which
has been proposed, will put us out
of business entirely.”
HYDABURG DELEGATES
RETURN
On Saturday evening, November
22, one of the most enjoyable and
inspiring meetings that Hydaburg
has had for many a year, was held
at the Town Hall. The Sisterhood
had a welcoming party for the re
turned delegates from the Alaska
Native Brotherhood Convention at
Hoonah.
The splendid reports of the Con
vention given by Gideon Duncan,
Boyd Nakathla and Sidney Carle
took up all phases of the work anti
progress of the Convention. It was
such a complete report and so well
given that all who heard it were
able to follow the entire program
from the opening to the close with
intense interest. The delegates made
the people realize as never before the
great work that the Brotherhood is
accomplishing and the benefits to
be derived from it.
When the announcement was made
that the 1925 convention was to be
held in Hydaburg, the greatest en
thusiasm was manifested. The peo
ple feel the great honor that has
been bestowed upon them and are
going to work with but one end in
view—that the 1925 Convention will
be a great success.
Henry Bahrt was a democratic
watcher in Sitka, and for want of a
better reason he challenged one
voter, a Russian, because Bahrt
claimed the name was incorrectly
spelled.
Henry Bahrt learned his law while
ho was the deputy marshal at Sitka,
and it is greatly to his credit that
he was able to detect this little
known crime of writing a name in
correctly.
It was a fine thing for Sitka that
a man as busy as Henry is would
consent to sacrifice one entire day
of his valuable time in order that
he might instruct voters how to
spell their names and thus keep the
ballot pure.
It also speaks well for Sitka that
of the three hundred voters, Henry,
even with his democratic eagle eye,
could find only one who spelled his
name incorrectly.
