u. S. MAY AID IN
PLAN TO MAKE
RIVER NAVIGABLE
National Survey of Stream
Proposed in Congress by
Lancaster Supporter

The movement to make the Sus-
quehanna river navigable from tide
water to Sunhury, which has been
growing rapidly since It was launch
ed here by the Rotary Club several
weeks ago received an added impetus
to-day when Congressman w. w.
Griest, of Lancaster. prepared a bill
authorizing the Secretary of War to
arrange for a survey of the stream
from its mouth in Maryland to Har-
risburg.
Such survey will eettie the prac-
ticability of the plan and show what
must be done to make the task
success. It would also give the ma
tfonal and state authorities an idea of
the cost.

Rotary Club, who had been author
lied to appoint a committee to lay
tho matter before the Legislature
when 1t meets in January, has been
Ill and therefore unable to get the
hatter under way here. He expects
TO act within the next few days.
Sentiment for the project rapidly
has been gaining friends from zone
end of the river to the other. Ar
rangements already have been made
TO send delegations here from every
county and city along the stream for

Mr.. Hanson has been in Prince Ru-
pert ever two years and during his
term here has lent dignity to the
Office Of the consulate and has taken
keen interest in all that pertained
to the city. He has had a busy time
because great many American citi-
zens have made Prince Rupert and
district their headquarters for good
many years past.
The promotion of Mr.. Hanson is
one that will please the people of
this city, while at the same time they
regret to lose the Consul. The fact
that This consulate is a stepping stone
to an important overseas position of
trust is one of which to be proud

People Their Opinion on Bill

Opponents of Delegate Sulzer have
charged that he tried to saddle AL

ruin the industry That he had no
such intention is shown by the fact
that he had thousands of copies of
the bill printed at his own expenses
and circulated throughout Alaska. He
sent them out on January 26, 1918, ac-
ccmpanied by letter asking for
criticisms and suggestions, in order
that he might make such changes as
were desirable In another letter
now being circulated by Mr.. Sulzer he
throws more light on the situation
Part Of his recent letter. addressed
sTo those interested in Alaska Fish
cries" reads:
In preparing this bill, | had two
special things in view, one, to properly
guard the streams and provide an ade-
quate policing system, and the other
to enable the people of Alaska to leg
islate on the subject of fisheries and,
through their own representatives, to
control the matter. Most of the tech
nical features of the bill were taken
from bills prepared by the Bureau of
Fisheries, but the primary object was
to get the subject before the COM
mittee in order to obtain legislative
enactment through such revision and
compromise as might be necessary
and advisable. The bill was only ten.
tative, and was drawn quite hastily
1t was never intended for passage in
the exact form in which it appears.
l realized that it was far from per-
feet in the form in which it was in
troduced but had no opportunity or
time to consult freely with Alasckans
before presenting it. l had hundreds

expense and circulated freely among
Alaskans. In sending out this bill,

object was to obtain your views so
that l might make the bill conform

the regulation and protection of the
fisheries of the Territory of Alaska.
and is put forth as a solution of this
important Alaskan problem. The
main feature of this bill is in harmony

be the most essential to the proper

Control Of the fisheries of the Terri

ka, with immediate supervision In
charge of an experienced man to be
appointed by the President of the
United States. It provides for the ap-
pointment Of fish wardens to serve
during the fishing season to guard
against illegal fishing, so that the sal
mon viii have a chance to go I'm
stream to spawn and thus insure the
fishing industry for years to come. A
leasing scheme for trap sites is sug-
eeSte1, with tax of one cent for
each fish caught in these traps.
The item in the bill which provides
tax Of one cent for each salmon
caught in trap is merely tentative,
and subject to revision, based on the
equities of the matter.
