“Alaska ha3 been suffering great

Forests
The local forests are primarily
valuable for pulp wood and the policy
ot the Forest Service in making
them available for that purpose was
hatied as “far sighted.”
in furtherance of this policy of
encouraging industries the Forestry
Department refuses power permits,
legging for export purposes, and
harrasses loggers compelling them
to tell to favored buyers, and charg
es local loggers $1.50 per M but
gives absent promotors the same
logs for 80tf to $1.00.

ON THE 1038 FISH REGULATIONS
Ketchikan. Alaska
January 13, 1928
Henry O’Malley,
U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
The .fishermen of Alaska feel
somewhat encouraged upon read
ing the new regulations because it
is a step in the right direction.
Your utterance in Seattle that
you were determined to give the re
sident fishermen of Alaska more
consideration also finds a hearty
response.
Your regulations, however, do not
bring the relief which you might
have had in mind for two reasons
The real fishing grounds where our
fishermen might catch the fish
that escape the abolished traps are
still closed to fishing.
These areas should be opened and
the areas restored as they were ua
der the law of 1906 or approx
imately so. This is the expressed
view of J. R. Heckman and a num
ber of packers with whom I have
ta’ked.
T>:o second reason is this:—the
lo^ed season begins just when out
