since 1885 to the present date
reveal that the number i f
fish is less each year. How
ever, in some years the catch
has been high.
‘ 'A million dollars has been
spent in research in an effort
to find where the salmon go
after they are hatched and
until they return to spawn”.
Bevan said. He explained that
the FRI was started in 1946
and was sponsored by the A
laska Salmon Industry. The
University of Washington is
administering the program.
‘‘I cannot tell you all in the
30 minutes I have fo*1 th s
talk,” Bevan said, ‘‘but this
morning (Tuesday) one fellow
in Kodiak had all the answers
to the red salmon problem
when I sat down in a barber
chair.”

j Inlet Survives
{ Heavy Catch
Anchorage—Signs that Cook
| Inlet’s valuable red salmon
I fishery may survive the recent
; heavy catches by a record
fleet of dritt gill netters were
reported Monday by the FWS,
according to the Anchorage
Times.
Clarence Rhode, Alaska’s
FWS director, said recent
stream surveys show that
some reds are going up the
Kenai River.
Meanwhile, local officials of
the United Fishermen of Cook
Inlet, AFL, asked the FWS to
close Inlet waters to drift gill
netters during the peak of
salmon runs.
It was explained that each
summer the main red salmon
run schools up along shoals
south of Kalgin Island. Fisher
men claim that while the mil
lions of fish pause near Kal
gin for the final swim to their
destination they are easy prey
for gill netters.
In urging curtailment of
drift gill net fishing, the Cook
Inlet union noted that where
as the bulk of the drifters
reside in other areas and fol
low the various seasons, there
are few local residents who
have boats large enough for
trips to Kodiak and other dis
tricts which develop late
fish runs.
Pvt. Val Morrison, well
known Kodiak resident, is
now stationed in Korea with
the 25th Division.
Morrison joined the Army
in the states a year ago. Mr.
and Mrs. William Lamme re
cently received a letter from
him.
