WANTS HATCHERY ESTABLISHED
 EYAK LAKE

Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries, Dr. E. Lester Jones, who made an of. fcial investigation of the fishing con- | ditions in Alaska last summer, and who spent several days in Cordova looking over Eyak lake with view to having the government establish a hatchery and spawning grounds in the Copper river valley, has just filed his report, in which he says that "byeond question there should be a number of new government hatcheries. This is a valuable work if conducted along proper lines, and upon 1t will depend in no little measure the future supply of salmon in Alaska. This matter should have immediate consideration, and the following locations are sug- gested as suitable for these new hatch ereries:
 "Eyak Lake-This lake is close to the town of Cordova and at the pres ent time Is protected by a closing or der of the Secretary of Commerce. This order should continue in force, and on account of the good run of red salmon, the accessibility of the lake. and the fact that a splendid water sup ply is available. a hachery should be established on the lake.
 "Redoubt or Deep Lake-This lake is fifteen miles south of Sitka. The water supply is excellent, and about 55,OO0 sockeyes were taken there last year.
 "chignlk Lake-This body of water is in Central Alaska. Canning opera tions have been carried on here exten- sively for years and the supply of sal mon is growing less. There Is great need for hatchery here. Chignik lake was surveyed by the Bureau of Fisheries three years ago, having this purpose in view, and favorable recom- mendations were made. There is no place in Alaska that appealed to me more as proper place for fish-cul- tural work
 "chlIkat Lake-This lake is situat- ed near the northern part of Lynn Canal and in the past has received some consideration as a hatchery pros pect. It is an admirable place for another government hatchery and res ervation."

 IMMIGRATION | MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-President Wilson held a three-hour hearing this morning on the immigration bill. A number of prominent men appeared and spoke on the measure, both for and against. J. H. Patten, of the Farm ers' National Congress, who appeared in favor of the bill, became heated in his advocacy of the measure and de- clared that the opponents of the bill desired to Russianize America. The President stopped him, declaring that the hearing was for the purpose of discussing the merits of the act. and that the question of motives must not be argued.

Is charged with shooting with intent

Scion Economy.
Kregci and his witnesses testified up
to a late hour Tuesday afternoon and
then the state rested. The shooting
was plainly proved and the defense
made no denial Kregci denied strik-
ing, or threatening to strike Wolf, just
before the shooting. altho he admitted
approaching him with a conditional
threat to smash that strawberry
nose If you don't let me alone on the
street." In a few seconds thereafter
Wolf shot twice.
The defendants attorneys claim he
was the victim of delirium tremens
before and after the shooting, and that
he was in no mental state 70 form an
intent. They are now introducing tes-
timony tending to prove that point.
The county physician, u. z. =. Eee,e.
