that it does not rank with the tral as manner in which fresh an. eanneries. From much personal ob servation, there is no doubt in my mind but that a fair portion of the fish brought to the canneries unfit for use have been in this condition on account of the rough treatment they have received at the hands of the purse seine fishermen. Another thing is that purse seine can be moved wherever the fishermen may wish to take it, thus following the fish into the very stream mouths, [ most objectionable practice.
 As i'll the case of traps, the oper- ation of purse senies should be eur tailed to some extent. Unfortunately. there are men engaged in the fishing industry who care little for the law, and in order to put a check on them Tt is necessary to have such legis. lation as will insure its observance 1t Is common occurrence in south eastern Alaska, when salmon are scarce and they have worked their way up to the spawning grounds, for cannerles to furnish the fishermen with short seines with which to go ur stream and take fish from the spawn ing grounds. With ordinary facilities 1t is impossible for officers of the Government to detect and stop all such illegal practice in the taking of fish. Therefore, I would suggest that to remedy this situation it would be we'll to abolish the use of seines under a minimum length of lOo fathoms; and, further, to make the law stronger. it would be well to make even the possession of any such seine in Alaska under 100 fath oms violation as much as to be actually caught using it. Also. as with regard to traps, no purse seine should be operated closer than half mile to the mouth of stream. This IS most important point in the future protection of the salmon.

There are many ishing hoats and passenger boats travelling back and forth over these waters each year. and the old trar lies are menace and should be re owed without delay when they are given up for fishing purposes There is in southeastern Alaska an aban- 'aned trap which had lead of over threefourths of mile and contained about POO piles It is not only 2 menace and danger to navigation. but T nuisance and trouble to the fisher men and their boats.

 Now as to the objections: Firs and foremost is the fact that trap: catch not only salmon. but other kinds of fish, which under present conditions are not utilized. Second during the weekly close period the owners of traps say bad weather is he cause for not complying with the aw and closing every Saturday niglN 0n the hour; but while this may oc cassionally happen the closing is more often neglected Intentionally. A pop ular objection to the trap is the fact .hat it fishes day and night, and
 Jus takes too many fish. but this ! leetion is without merit. for the
 aetion of trap is to catch fish, and, as mentioned before, all fish re- main alive until ready to be removed from the pot or spiller.
 I would suggest eurtailment in
 ae activities of traps. on account of fhe ever increasing fishing and the elimination in some sections of the supply of salmon. It is evident that the leads, which at the present time ray be of any length, should be linn ted. In waters tributary to Boring Sea l would reccomend that leads not exceeding 5000 feet be permitted and that in the rest of Alaska the maxi mum length should be o,500 feet. In some cases the large number of traps olaeed close to the mouths of streams makes it almost impossible for an lequate supply of breeding salmon - escape them and ascend to the spawning grounds. And especially is It important to keep free the en frances to those waters on whicl. h9teheries are being operated. It ap. oars necessary that no trap shall be erected closer than one-half mile to the mouth of any stream and that those already erected within this dis tanee shall be> removed. The pro, hihitIon of traps and other fishing fear within waters less than one half mile from the mouth of any stream Is to my mind the-smost in;. rortant feature in reference to the
 reservation of the future supply Of salmon in Alaska As the law reals today traps must be at least GOO wards apart laterallya nd 100 wards ..'art endwise. These distances are Inadequate, which is easily proved " the congestion of fishing para ernaila that exsists in southeastern Aiaska. \ distance interval of ar 'east 1000 feet latcrally and 1000 7et enlwise seems fair and necessary

The contention of some in Alaska

The contention Of some Tn AiaSki
 at the Territory can better admin ster it's own fishery affairs is sus-
 eptible of adverse criticism because .f the strife and friction between
 he diverse local interests that would
 lmost inevitably follow such efforts to handle the situation. This has
 cen the result in some States an
 !. is therefore my honest belief that full Federal control of the fisheries If Alaska, as impartially and honestly administered by the Department of of Commerce through the Bureau of Fisheries. will result most beneficial ly to all interests concerned. And Furthermore, owing to the vast aa
 ant of practical and scientific Snpw edge and information acquired anu developed during an extended perinsl hv men of unusual training and ex ncrienee in the Bureau or Fisheries, anvi dea or thought of transferine jurisdiction over this highly i'm tant industerv to another institution ,r board of the National Government sl,ould be dismissed at once. as such action would be a serious mistake md would prove handicap to tho greatest development of Alaska g -ieh fishery resources.
