Dr. Jones will spend about four months in Alaska studying the fish and the fishing industry, and will make special inyestigat- iags along all lines under his Bureau.

Mills Violating
 Territorial Law

During our interview with pr. E. Lester Jones, Deputy Commission CT Fisheries, during his stay in Wrangell, he ask us to print the following extract from the Territ- orial Laws of Alaska, relating to the casting of sawdust, slabs and other waste into the waters of Ala ska, which he stated is being vio- lated by every sawmill in South eastern Alaska excepting one. Dr. Jones stated as his reason, that the casting of sawdust into the waters Is one of the most harmful things that can be done to the small fry, as they are sure to swim near the top of the water and if one of the small pieces of sawdust lodges On taeir gills it causes their death in Q very short time as small fish are very tender. This law is being violated and 1t should be stopped at once and from the statement he made to us it must be stopped at once or the Bureau of Fisheries will take actionagainst them.

 cree made a trip over the entire

 ing built by the Forestry Service under the supervision. Of W. C.
 WeigIe. Starting at the Garnet
 Ledge the trail leads nor.h along
 the beach, the first quarter of a
 mile Of the trail Is the worst part of all as 1t leads through a bad
 swamp but tor a Winter trail this will maze no difference as the swamp will be frozen. after you leave the swamp the trail leads
 through the woods on higher ground and comes back to the beach at
 Point Rothsev. where the camp is established for the men working ou the trail. after leaving Pt. Rogasey the trail goes back in the woods more to higher ground and several steep climbs are in the next mile be- fore you come back to the beach again, at the place where the trail strikes the beach the crew are work ing their way through large clif+ of rock, blasting crew are rapid iy cutting the clift away so as to make the trail passible, after leav- ing the rock clift which IS some Twenty-Five feet through, the trail leads through some ot the prettiest scenery of the whole country, the trail leading along the clift with the Stikine River winding its way be- meath, there IS about a half mile of trail built from the rock clift and several men are at work here clear ing the way for the trail. The fore man MT. $. s. Swening deserves much credit for the way he has over come the many obsticles in the way of building a winter trai1 on the Stikine. [
