The Ketchikan memorial, asking for action by the Federal government that will preserve the Alaskan fisheries for Alaskan ports and checlmAte the at- tempt of Prince Rupert Co capture the traffic was introduced in the Sen- ate today by Senator Tanner and in the House by Representative Heck man. The memorial asks that regu, lations be put into effect that will re- Quire American fish prepared for eN- port in American ports. lt Is shown in the memorial that such action would compel Che Grand Trunk and other railroads to give AiasSh4 ports terminal rates in the shipment ol fish from Alaska to the Eastern markets. The memorials will be rushed to final passage it was indicated.
 The memorial. which is iathered by the KetchiSan Commercial Club. was brought to Juneau by II. C. Strong, a business man of that city The nee essity for some such action resulted from the action of the Canadian or der in council promulgated March l2. which permits American fishermen to sell fish to British Columbia buy. CTS for shipment in bond to American ports. and which further permits the American fishing craft to purchase supplies in British Columbia ports and ship crews from them This order in council. it is said, is resulting in the location of American buyers for East ern markets. and American cold stor- age plants in Prince Rupert, and the gradual transfer of the fishing fleets that have contributed so largely to Ketchikan.
