In respect to the above an nouncement it seems pertinent to say that for some time past the Bureau has been concerned as to the future of the salmon industry in southeastern Alaska because of the alarmingly heavy catches which have been made recently, this being due in Considerable measure to the increased number of canneries and other fishery es- tablishments and the resultant close competition and securing of all waters to secure as many fish as possible. Much of this fishing has been in small streams and in some instances. almost directly upon the spawning beds of sal mon. Under the law, fishing is permissible in streams over 800 feet in width with movable and fixed gear, and with moveable gear only in streams less than 800 feet in width, provided such gear is operated not more than one-third the width of the stream. Nearly all of the streams in southeastern Alaska are less than 800 feet in width. In fact, most of them are less than 150 feet in width, and as a rule they are com paratively short on account of the mountainous character of the country. Except in the few waters already closed, it is ire quently the practice of fishermen to operate in these small streams, this being permissible under the provision of law allowing the use of movable fishing gear not over one-third the width of such wat ers. Theoretically this part of the law is wise, but in actual prac- tice it's weakness is obvious be- cause almost invariably under the guise of fishing one-third the width of the stream the net is actually set and operated almost the full width of the stream, thus permitting the easy capture of salmon where they are closely confined. It is not uncommon for fishermen to proceed upstream and frighten the fish down into nets waiting some distance below.
 There are hundreds of such streams in southeastern Alaska,
 hence it is exceedingly difficult to enforce a law involving the

CeClHlcdl llcetfoS Ol uGlSTllliIllilS exactly whether piece of fishing apparatus is, extended more than one-third the. width of a stream.
 Not only is there fishing in the streams but. considerable fishing is done by purse seines in the zone immediately of the mouths of streams (except within 100 yards of the mouth of any red salmon stream), as the fish very often collect in schools at the stream mouths before moving up into fresh water above. This is par ticularly true in seasons of drouth when the water in the streams is frequently so low that the fish actually can not get up, but the instinct which causes them to seek spawning beds is so strong that they persist sometimes for days in their efforts to ascend. It is while the salmon are thus collected off the mouths of the streams that they fall easy vic tims, to purse seines.
 It has been suggested that the best remedy for the situation is to prohibit all fishing for salmon, or other fishing in the prosecution of which salmon are taken or in- jured, in all streams of south eastern Alaska east of the longi- tude of Cape Spencer less than 500 feet in width and within a zone of 800 yards outside the mouths of such streams; also that such fishing be prohibited in lakes or other waters tributary to such streams.
 In the report of the grand jury in session at Juneau in January, 1918, the belief was expressed that the salmon of southeastern Alaska are being depleted and that the annual takes of salmon are exceeding the natural pro duction. The grand jury there fore recommended that a hearing be held by the Secretary of Con- merce during the wear 1918 to determine the adyisability of linn iting or prohibiting commercial fishing for salmon in all streams of southeastern Alaska for a dis tance outside the mouths thereof not to exceed 800 yards.
