 s. E. Alaska.

 ka Are Urged.

Delegate Charles A. Sulzer has asked Secretary of Commerce VII liam c. Redfield to hold hearings In Alaska to determine whether or not all salmon streams in Southeastern Alaska should not be closed to nsh- ermen. The Secretary of Commerce has power under the law to close streams after a hearing of which thirty days notice must be given.
 Delegate Sulzer has represented to the Secretary of Commerce that it is the general opinion throughout Southeastern Alaska that there has been a great deal of stream fishing this year. and that it must not be repeated next year.
 The request of the Delegate to the Secretary was made yesterday in the following telegram:
 Juneau, Alaska, Sept. 19, 1918. Hon. Wm C. Redfield,
 Secretary of Commerce, Washington, D. c.
 General opinion throughout South eastern Alaska is that stream fisn- | ing has been largely indulged in dur ing the present season. The pres ent law is inadequate for the pro- tection and preservation of the sal mon fisheries. I believe the conser- vation of the salmon supply largely depends upon the protection of the streams, and therefore urgently rec ommend that you issue an order for hearings to be held at Ketchikan | and Juneau in the early part Of NO
 vember, or at the earliest time pos sible under the law, for the purpose of determining why all salmon 1 streams of Southeastern Alaska should not be closed to commercial fishing. It is imperative that such hearings be held in Alaska in order that all parties may have an oppor

 Government Aid.

 100000 a Year.

PORTLAND, Sept 20-E. c. Craw- ford, President of the Oregon Bank CTS Association is to introduce a resolution urging the Government to maintain the gold production of America at the pre- war volume.
 This resolution will be introduced by him at the convention of the American Bankers Association of America to be held in Chicago next week.
 MT. Crawford said that the gold production in America had decreased it had been decreasing for the past three years, mainly due to the fact that the price of gold never changes He said that the cost of production had increased by leaps and bounds and that unless the Government took action, serious injury would result to gold mining and the money in vested therein.
 The circumstance that the ques ton or GOveTnn1ent dlu tO boiu Hlili ing is receiving serious consideration throughout the United States is due more to Alaska than to any other thing just now. While the matter has been discussed more or less fol nearly a year, it was not until Dele gate Charles A. Sulzer and Bartlett l.. Thane, of this Territory, took the matter up in earnest that the matter became one of the live issues before the people of the Nation.
 The first important step in tho agitation in this country was ths letter of Delegate Charles A. Sulzel to Secretary of the Treasury Will liam G.

HOT U-BOAT CHASE
.LESSEN|NG MENACE
RESULT OF "GOING AFTER THEM"
Is THE REDUCTION OF WAR
ZONE INSURANCE RATE FROM
$3.50 TO $3.50.

WASHINGTON, May 27.Offensive
operations against German subma-
rines are producing good results, said
Acting Secretary Roosevelt of the
navy. He added that going after
them and not waiting for them to come
after us is the answer"
Another indication Of the decreas-
ing effectiveness of the Uboat is found
in the fact that the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance has recommended a re-
duction from $3.50 to $1.50 a thou
sand dollars insurance rates on lives
OF officers and crews of merchant yes
sells passing through war zones. This
is in line with the recent lowering of
marine insurance rates on vessels and
cargoes from 8 to Q per cent.
Naval opinion here is that the sea-
son of the year makes little diffe-
ence in the effectiveness of the sub
marines. Advantages and disadvan-
tages in winter and summer offset each
ether, 1t is pointed out that while
rough water in winter impedes them,
the long winter nights give them oppr-
tunity to come to the surface to re-
charge their batteries, rest their crews
and also make long trips on the sur
face. increasing their effective area.
The loss of the American tank
steamer, William Rockefeller, was re-
ported to the navy department with
out details. 1t was not said whether
there as loss of life. The Rockefeller
was a steel steamer of 1857 tons
with a carrying capacity of 5,217 tons
of petroleum in bulk. She was built
bv w. Cramp and Sons, of Philadel-
phia. in 1916, and was owned by the
standard Oil Company.
