WASHINGTON, Jan. is. - Con-
gresham Cushman of Washington
has introduced a bill. which. if enact
ed into law. will do much towards in
suring a permanent supply OF salmon
in the waters of Alaska. He proposes
that the government shall establish
and operate not less than two good
sized salmon hatcheries at convenient
points on the Alaskan coast, the same
to be operated by appropriations
made by congress.
When asked why he proposed to es-
tablish government hatcheries in
Alaska. Mr.. Cushman said:
Under the present law every sal
mon packer in Alaska Is required to
operate hatchery in conjunction
with his main plant. The intent of
that law was perhaps all right. but it
Is not practicable. There are hun
dreds of desirable locations for sal
mon canneries on the Alaskan coast.
but there are very few places where
hatcheries may be successfully oper-

however, voted against the bill.
The effect of this bill is seen from
the fact that of the 10000 tons OF
coal imported into the United States
in 1901 1900. 900 tons were brought
in on the Pacific coast. About 905. 900
tons came from British Columbia.
The amount imported on the Atlantic

Ats of this bill will be felt on the
Pacific slope and not on the Atlantic
