“RESTORING THE FISHERIES”
THE NEW YORK TIMES:
Your editorial comment:
“If man cannot force the hand
of fate In Alaska, he can at least
hcy>e to guide It in some measure
and take full advantage of its de
crees. Already Secretary Hoover
with the help of Congress, has tak
en steps to restore the fisheries, the
Territory’s greatest resource.”
Mr. Hoover and his Bureau of
fisheries fought against the law ot
19 2 4 under which it is now alleged
that he is saving our fisheries.
His management of our fisheries
is ’ike the story of the doctor who
performed a wonderful operation
and when asked to tell about it,
said, “The operation was a wonder
ful success, except that the patient
died.*’
Our population and our fisheries
are steadily diminishing even under
the great and wonderful Hoover.
Why not let us try our hand at
it?
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM L. PAUL
P. S. The Hoover candidates for
the Republican convention were de
feated by three to one vote.
One salmon in the creek is worth
mere than a dozen in cans.
We may never reach Mars but we
can planet. i
A man sometimes finds his collar
button when it rolls under the dress
er, but if the same thing happens to
a modern woman’s clothes she might
as well give them up as lost.
You could probably sell a good
fish story, but you couldn’t makt
anybody believe it.
rl lie sad looking man at the corner
taole had been waiting a very long
tin e for is order. At last a waiter
approached him and said:
“Your fish will be coming anj
minute now sir.”
“Oh, yes,” said the sad man, look
ing interested. “And what bait are
you using?”
reacher-“I want everyone to be
qui *t. Be so quiet you can hear a
pin drop.”
Voice in Rear—“Let 'er drop.”
