ALASKA'S CRCSTACEAN
 SUPPLY NOT REDUCED

JUNEAN, Alaska.-Alaska posses ses practically untouched resources in crustacean or shellfish products ac. cording to Ernest P. Walker, in spector of the fisheries bureau now here in the interest of the early de- velopment of all food sources in the territory. He has recently been en- gagged in investigating the various scallops, clans, crabs. shrimp and other members of the family exist ing in northern waters.
 This country will, unquestionably some day be big producer of she'll fish," said he. Special attention is being paid to the development of the scallops. We often find them in nets and fishing gear which indicates that they abound, for in order to get seal lops normally considerable digging is necessary.
 Proof of the great clam resources is seen in results obtained from re- cent development of the beds near the mouth of the Copper River by packers located at Cordova. A recent shipment from there to Seattle con- prised 4,00O cases, the largest single order of canned clans ever received at a puget sound port"
 To aid in fishing development the government has four inspectors and assistants and four herring cure ex- perts.
