DRY SEASON IN 1875 |S BLAMED
 FOR B|G SLUMP

Many of those who have watched the seasons and the fisheries indus
 try as matter Of business for years believe the short run of sal mon in Alaska this year is due
 largely to the circumstance Of very dry season in 1915, when the streams were so low that the salmon Icould not ascend them to the spawn ing grounds. They call attention to the fact that slides in the Fraser river in 1913 destroyed the salmon run in 1917.
 There was scarcely any rain in Alaska in 1915. the weather con tinuing fine with bright s1nry days
 until late in the fall, and the streams of Southeastern Alaska con-
 tained very little water Many Of
 them were almost or quite dry, and salmon were unable 10 ascend them. 1 It iS the generally accepted theory that salmon return to fresh water
 when four years of age to spawn
 and die, and the fact that very few
 salmon were able to get up the streams to the spawning ground in 1915 is believed to account for the fact that there were very few sal mon matched that year to return
 this year.
 1 The fact that the salmon run
 was generally a failure along the
 whole coast of Alaska, from Bristol
 bay on the north to the southern
 most extremity of the Territory, and , in British Columbia, is pointed to
 as an argument in favor Of the
 theory that it was the dry season
 of 1915 rather than everlasting that caused the failure this year.
 It is contended that if the failure had not been due to some general cause the run would have been good . in those sections that had not been oy er-hshed four years ago.
 ] The Canadian pack of sockeyes 1 in the Fraser river canneries last
 year was only 19,600 cases, and that of the American canneries last year was but 50,70O. This year the Fraser pack, with only a few icanneries working, will not exceed 1000 cases, on the Canadian side, with Washington about 10000 cases, if it reaches that amount.
 The sockeye that ran to the Fraser this year was matched in 1915. The catch that year totaled 155,o00 cases. of which 91,200 were were taken by Canadian canneries and 64,50o by Puget sound plants Henana, Where Rails and Rivers Meet

THAT RATE INCREASE.

The Alaska Territorial Shipping Board will oppose further increase in the freight and passenger rates on Alaska routes. It will fight the request for q 20 percent additional rate at this time. IL will take this stand. pending the collation. of data upon which to base further action.
 The Alaska Territorial Shipping Board Is Investigating the facts with l reference to Alaska transportation. and until its work is completed it will not attempt 10 arrive at a de c;sion as to its course of action to meet the situation in the North. l. ! is expected that it will complete its work before the end of the pres ent year.
 If the proposed 20 percent in- crease in freight rates is allowed, it will make raise of nearly 300 per cent in little over three years. The first raise came in April. 1916. and they have been continuous since that time
 1 IT the spring of 1916 the basic freight rate to Juneau was s4 a ton. At the present time it is s9 a ton, and it is now proposed to raise this 20 percent, making the rate about s1l. In the meantime, the classifcations have been chang e6 so that many articles of general consumption which formerly were carried at the base rate have taken or higher rates.
 The Juneau Empire reflects the sentiment of the entire Territory when it says:
 . ''The announcement that we are to have another advance in freight and passenger rates 10 Alaska-20 percent this time-is very disap- pointing, to say the least. It is particularly disagreeable, coming as II does at time when the whole country is engaging in a campaign to reduce the cost of living. - ! Conditions in Alaska do not jus tify this sort of treatment. This Territory was hard hit by the war, and her largest industry, the fish ing, has had the worst season it has experienced in many years. Business and industry in Alaska has been charged more than the traffic could bear without danger of break ing down. The great struggle in Alaska for two years has not been to make money. It has been to save our business institutions and industries and to keep the wheels turning until normal conditions may be restored. This additional burden will make that task more difficult :"

ALASKA NEEDS POPULATION.


 passenger rate to the territory, is the belief Of Attorrey-General J. C. Murphy, and it is Mir Murphy's belief that Alaska needs popula ton worse than she needs anything else.
 Mir. Murphy was reared in DaA,o- ta. and is familiar with the struggle of the West for population. In SUD- port Of his argument in favor of low immigrant passenger rate he points to the great results that fol- lowed the cooperation of the rail road companies in the early days, when they made an especially en- ticing westward rate for passengers. This action of the railroads in en- couraging the westward movement of population began early in the development period of the country west of the Mississippi river, and continued until all the territories between that great waterway and the Pacific ocean north of the SO called Southwest became prosperous and populous states.
 Mr. Murphy thinks the transpor- tation companies operating to Alass- ka should exhibit the same fore sight the railroads showed, because more people in Alaska will mean more future business for these transportation companies, just as in creased population in the West re suited in greater railroad business and greater railroad systems,
 T have heard it suggested that there would be nothing for large population 10 do." said MT. Murphy to a representative Of tAe Juneau Empire recently, but the history of the Western states does not war rant that conclusion. I can recall when there were very few thou sands cf people in each of the ter r;tories of the Northwest extending from the Mississippi river to the Pacific. and I saw the people come until Washington had her million and the United States their hun dred millions, and the per capita of wealth and prosperity increased with the coming of the immigrants.
 As far as finding something to do is concerned, those who come will attend to that here as they did there. The people always take care of themselves. There was TO sui fering when thousands-many more thousands than the apparent need came North in the Klondike, Fair banks, and Nome stampedes.
 If people could be brought to Alaska as they were to the Da- kotas, Washington. Montana and other Western commonwealths, the shortage of prospectors would soon be supplied, and the localization of the fisheries industry would care for itself. There would soon be many more mining camps, and there would be resident fishermen and farmers all along the coast from Dixon's Entrance to the far-hung Aleutian Archipelago, and there would be sawmills and stores and all the other enterprises that flourish when there is population. There would be farming communities hand IT hand with every mining. fishing, and lum- bering town.''
 Mr. Murphy believes that if the transportation companies do not meet this demand for low immi- grant transportation rates, the fed eral or the territorial government, or both, should take the matter in
