CLAIM ICE REALLY TO BLAME
FOR SMALL RUN OF SALMON
ON THE YUKON RIVER
Washington—Most everybody in
Washington appears willing to take a
hand in the management of the affairs
of Alaska, hut it is unfortunate that
this latent energy is sometimes mis
directed or used along trivial lines.
This 1ms been demonstrated in the past
few weeks in the discussion of :i hill
Large Run Salmon
Southeastern Alaska
'ubltcity Bureau Seattle Chamhe:
Seattle-Ssipments of this season'.:
salmon pack in southeastern Alaska
are arriving: on every boat. The an
nual run of fish in the Alaska pan
handle is reaching large proportions
and a considerable movement of the
fish product to outside markets thru
the port of Seattle is under way. The
canneries at Cordova, were first to get
this season’s pack to Seattle
Cannery men have for several years
been advocating an inspecting and
branding system to prevent offerings of
salmon of doubtful food value placed
ou the market. Skilled inspectors un
der tiie National Canners' Association
are now being trained at an eastern
Consolidation of steamship lines to
Alaska advocated by the Interior De
partment will not lie opposed by the
Alaska Steamship Company and the
Pacific Steamship Company, the only
two services maintained .out of this
port catering to passenger trade on
any large scale.
Nearly 400 skins have been harvest
ed this season by the Indian seal hun
ters in ocean waters off the shores of
Washington. Indians are accorded
the same rights in seal hunting as they
enjoyed during their primal days.
Tills law provides that they shall use
an open boat, propelled by oa.r, with a
spear or arrow as a weapon, firearms
being prohibited. The skins are sold
to fur buyers who visit the reservations
after the sealing season, J.ast year
about thirty-five skins were taken.
Many Alaskans who left the terri
tory during the war are returning and
with the large number of tourists
travel to Alaska is heavier than ever

prohibiting fishing on tho Yukon river,
when a number of church mi'mlicr*
formed a lobby to ti ll congress just
what is going t«> happen to it at the
next election if tin* measure is n-it
enacted into law.
l'nfortunatel> the volunteer lobby
was not fully acquainted with the
facts. At least such would appear to
be the case from the contradictory tes
timony offered by Archdeacon Hudson
Stuck on behalf of the measure and M
Zipf of the Carlisle Packing company,
who opposed it. Archdeacon Stuck
declared that the Indians and their
dogs on the Yukon were dying >>f star
vation because of the shortage of sal
mon and this shortage lie alleged was
. luo to the fact that the Carlisle Pack
ing company has a cannery at the
i mouth of the river.
Air. Zipf pointed out that tho Yukon
I splits into a number of smaller streams
as it enters tin* sea. and that the com.
hined area of the mouths of the
streams including the islands is more
than 100 miles in extent. Also he
declared that had the Indians caught
all of the salmon taken by the cannery, i
they would not have had enough to j
sustain them
Ice Really to Blame
The facts appear to he that the!
ice was late in leaving tho mouth of!
the river Iasi year, and thousands of
salmon swarming up the stream to
get to their spawning grounds on
•time were killed between the ice
flne*s while others, delayed by the ice
from getting up the stream swam deep
and fast, as soon as the ice left and the
j Indian fish wheels, as a result did not
eatcli very many And notwitlistand
I ing that certain literature showing
pictures of alleged traps on the Yukon
river, that were circulated among the
legislators. It was shown positively
that there are no traps on the Yukon
or on any other stream ami that this
region, at least, the fishing in done
with nets which are not permitted to.
come within 500 yeards of the inntt'h
of the Yukon.
After the hill had been debated be
fore the house committee it 'a as ir- |
troduced in the senate, hut it is proh- j
aide the senate will he guided by the
evidenec taken before the house com
inittee. TSherefore, the prospect ba
the passage of this hill is not very j
bright. In fact this is true of all tlm ;
legislation affecting Alaska fishing j
The industry will have to he in more |
imminent danger of destruction before j
congress fully realizes the situation. J
