These Alaska Fish
Are Real Chummy
They Swim Near Banks Of River
So One Can Catch Them
With Hands.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Aug 25.-To be
called q 'hooligan" Is enough to cause
even the smallest Of self-respecting fish
to do odd things.
Therefore, 1t Is not to be wondered at
that the fish In the Susitna river have
formed the peculiar habit of hugging the
bank at either side OF the stream. avoid
ing the middle. and permitting them
selves to be easily caught with the hand.
According to c. s. Sapp. index clerk
of the senate OF the Washington State
legislature, who Is touring Alaska, the
peculiar traits Of the "hooligans" have
never been observed in any other fish,
large or small. Mr.. Sapp says they are
. small fish. Ave to six inches long. and
very active.
II have heard good many fish stor-
les during my life," says Mr.. Sapp, "but
l must frankly admit that I saw more
hsh UP here in the Susitna river than I
hope ever to see again. There were bill
lions OF them. They are called "hooli-
gans,' and have peculiar trait Of their
own. They choose either side of the
river. keeping close to the bank, bunch
up very close in large numbers, so that
1t Is easy to catch from six to eight of
them In hand at one grab"
The fish begin their up-river Journey
from the sea early In June, says Sapp.
who regards their migration one of the
oldest he has ever witnessed.
