The federal authorities at Seattle
seized 1,301 cases of salmon during
August, alleging the salmon to be
adulterated with substances unfit
for food. The salmon had arrived
from Cordova on July 7th. Our
Uncle Sam is determined that
the besetting sin of our cannerymen,
an unsatisfied desire for more and
more profits, shall not be allowed to
kill the ultimate consumer.

“Taxes from the Kennecott mine
operations are one of the main
sources of Territorial revenue”—Ju
neau Empire. This is quite (?)
true. On each million dollars of
net profits, after deducting for all
betterments, improvements and run
ning expenses, this mine is com
pelled to disgorge the enormous tax
of $12,500.00. This mine, with oth
ers, does not pay one penny in
taxes unless and until the mine
clears more than $10,000. in net pro
fits. For this law, the citizens can
thank among others, Joseph Murray,
running for re-election from the
Kennecott district; Harry Staser, ap
pointed deputy marshal at Anchor
age a couple days after the legisla
ture adjourned; E. M. Polley, who
got the job of collecting taxes at
$250 per month plus expenses; and
H. R. Shepard who has a large flock
of sheep in Juneau on Snob Hill. See
House Journal, page 317.

When complaint against the Stan
ey Creek trap was made to Mr. Ball,
agent for the Bureau of Fisheries he
said: “I do not know the exact
distance from the mean low tide
mark to the trap but information is
available at this office showing that
the trap is approximately four hun
dred yards from the point regarded
by us as the mouth of the stream.”
But even after writing this letter
friend Ball allowed the trap to op
erate and they were penalized $400
after taking out $30,000 worth of
fish illegally caught.
