R|PAR|ON RIGHTS
 NOT APPLICABLE
To Right of Fish Trap by Upland Owner Says Judge
 Lyons

In refusing IO issue a pcrma- nent injunction on behalf of Jas. 'T. Barrow. of Portland. United states District Judge Thomas R. Lyons. practically holds that the ownership of the upland is use less Sn far as holding a trap site iS concerned. Tho decision goes much farther in limiting the rights of upland owners than any other decision ever nIaGr by a l'nitcd tSaics district court and has attracted a good deal of at icniion among cannrry men here.
 Three or four years ago Mr.. Barrow purchased from V. A. . Robertson his right Io a tract of land on Chatham straits. two miles south of Funtrr bay.
 Tlk' land had been surveyed. 1ky survey approved by the Unit 'r0o <ies government land of flee. and payment forwarded in N'Iu'I' script, when Claire Alexander set up fish trap immediately in front of the property. It was the intention of Mir. Barrow to move the cannery of the Thlinket Packing Company 10 this site, and when Alexander set up his fish trap, Harrow applied for and re- Straining order. This has now been dissolved and permanent in- Junction refused.
 The court holds that the first romer has a right to set up. a fish trap without regard to the inten- lions of the owner of the upland.
 The trap site is one of the most valuable in Alaska, more than thousand dollars worth of king salmon having been caught in -Alexander's trap in q single haul.
