GATHERING THE.
 SALMON ECC
The Subject Has Brought
 About Discussion
Official Communications
Reveal the Fact that Action
 Has Been Taken

A few weeks ago when the Weekly Progressive on complaint, took up the matter of taking salmon eggs from ketchikan creek, it ehcited q reply from MT. Hancock ill which a denial of the accusation was made Mayor Beegle, however, followed the cue on different angle and result ed i'll the following communication which through his courtesy is given publicity. On August 27th, Mayor Beegle sent the following letter to the Bureau of Fisheries, Washington, D. C.
 Gentlemen:-
 It is understood the superintendent of the Government salmon hatchery at Yes Bay, Alaska, will ill short time under Bureau instructions, begin to collection of Humpback salmon eggs from the natural spawning beds of the waters of Ketchikan creek, same to be taken for propagation In other localities and on the Atlantic Coast.
 In this connection l desire to enter q protest in the name of the Town of Ketchikan, against such procedure, for the following reasons, to-wit;
 l. Ketchikan creek empties into an arm of the Pacific Ocean within the corporate limits of the Town of that name, and by reason of the sal mon in said stream thousands of tourists and pleasure-seekers are an nually attracted to its banks to wit ness the ascent of the fish. In mah- ing the round trip to Southeastern Alaska there is no other place where it is possible to conveniently witness this scene. All vessels call at this port and the passengers are given an opportunity to visit the stream.
 2. The stream is small, and to take several million eggs annually from its waters would, in very few years greatly diminish if not entirely de stroy the supply of fish.
 3. All streams in Southeastern Alaska abound in Humpbaek salmon, and l dare say eggs could be as easily obtained from any one of the many other streams as from this one streams that are not available or within reach of the tourist or sight seer-and thereby preserve the sal mon of this particular stream as a valuable asset to the Town.
 Ketchikan creek, with its annual supply of salmon, is to Ketchikan what the Yosemite Valley and Yellow. stone Parks are to the Nation, or what Lincoln Park is to Chicago or Golden Gate Park to San Francisco and its feature of interest, fish, v should be as carefully safeguarded and
