ged and recaught Alaska pays a
heavy toll to Oregon without any
commensurate benefit. Alaskans
are ordered to quit fishing in or
der that the fish they catch, may
be caught in Oregon or in Cana

STILL BOTHERED WITH
WITCHES
-o
Witches are still things to con
jure with in France. Not long
since, a farmer’s wife in the vil
lage of Co’ net, near Lille, was in -
jured in an accident. The vil
lage postman, in rdd hours a
bonsetter, warned the good wo
man that the first woman to vis -
it her would be the witch who
had placed her under her evil
spell. A Mme. Wallart called in
the capacity of a solicitous
neighbor, and has since been
asked to leave town. Instead she
will sue, providing she can find a
lawyer.
THERE HAS BEEN NO CONSERVATION OF FISH
BY COMMISSIONER O’MALLEY
■-x
The average pack for the years 1914 to 1919,
was 5,215,332 cases. On this account the Bureau
of Fisheries said Alaska was “over-fished” and
“there is great danger of depletion.”
To criticisms, Mr. O’Malley replied that he
was without power to “conserve fish.”
Congress then gave Commissioner O’Malley
and the Bureau of Fisheries full power to “con
serve fish” under the White Fish law.
Many regulations were then published.
The average pack following these regulations
for the years 1924 to 1928 was 5,209,177 cases Oil
WITHIN SIX THOUSAND CASES of the years
when there was no restriction whatever.
Conclusion:
There has been no conservation of fish.
