Mr.. I. c. Strouss was summoned to
appear before Recorder Hurst Monday
for driving his automobile on Main
street Sunday afternoon at speed
exceeding five miles an hour, the limit
fixed in the ordinance regulating the
use. of automobiles on the streets. It
appearing that the limit had been ex-
ceeded the Recorder imposed fine
Of $50, which was paid. It might be
remarked, in passing, that if every
automobilist who has exceeded a speed
of five miles # hour within the past
year had been arrested and fined, the
city:s income from that source would
have equal1ed or exceeded that de-
rived from the dispensary. Five miles
an hour is very slow travelling and
few, if any, Of Sumter's many autov
mobilists are slow movers.

ALASKA
SALMON
FISHERIES

Il has long been apparent to obseFy'
eu ,hat tho stupendous drain upon Al
aska's salmon resources through the
latter be regulated and husbanded as
carefully ss possible, must ultimately
exhaust the fisheries unless they are
maintained by artificial propagation.
The attempt 60 accomplish this by ex.
acting the maintenance Of adequate
halcheFiss by private parties engaged
Ia the salmon packing business hav.
ing proved a failure, an appropriation
was made by congress at the last See
sion for one hatchery, which Was bull,
this summer, and Il is hoped that the
scope Of this work will be extended by
the building OF additional plants OF
this character until the output OF fry
shall be In a ratio equal 20 a. least the
drain upoA the present natural supply.
To meet this demand IL an immense
undertaking, but by no means an im,
possible one, judging from what has
been done 10 other lines Of hsh culture.
The take OF salmon In Alaskan waters
Is usually about 10000. 900 a year, and
on basis OF ten fry for each mature
hsh there would now be required an
annual planting Of 3OO,OOO,OOO young.
The estimate OF the correct ratio is
probably too low, for II is doubtful that
Of the fry successfully run
the gauntlet Of the peTils that confront
them from the time OF leaving the
hatchery until their return 20 the
spawning ground. II is likely that a
ratio of 80 20 I would be- nearer the
mark. This would mean the Matching
aud distribution OF 900 100000 fry in
Alaskan water. and would call for az
least four very large hateheFies and a
regular force Of not less than 100 en-
ployes,
Though this would seem 90 require a
great expenditure Of public funds for
the maintenance OF an interest not Of
tho hFst magnitude, il is 20 be remem-
bered that the tax on canned and salt
ed salmon has thus far produced a gToss
revenue 70 the national treasury OF
more than s5OOOOO. and affords an
annual income, on an average, Of SIS,
600. The initial outlay for hatchery
plants would not exceed One-half OF
the money that has already been re
eeived from this interest, and the year.
ly maintenance on a liberal scale could |
probably be met from the tax paw. /
ments, even though no charge were
made against the packers for the fry |
planted, as has been suggested. Inas-
much as no such burden Of taxation
Is put upon those who take fsh from
