SAVING THE FISH

Everyone is agreed that the food fish of Alaska, especially the salmon. is being depleted. But that is as far as the agreement goes. Regarding how fish can best be conserved, there is wide difference of opinion, some of it honest, some of it mere camou- fage to cover selfish interests, some of itmere political buncome, and some of it discussion on the part of the ignorant of actual con. dltions. The gill netters blame the trapmen, and the trapmen say the gill netters are to blame for fishing out the streams. The territory wants to handle the question and so do the federal bureau chiefs and employees of the Fisheries Department, and they all have ideas of how it should be done. Congressmen at Washington are bombarded from all sides, and when Alaska fish is mentioned they can hardly be blamed for being fish shy.'
 One thing alone is certain-un- less something is done and is done quickly, there will be a serious depletion in the salmon supply in Alaska. The best immediate remedy is to protect the spawn ing streams, and to see that trap regulations for allowing the fish to escape on certain days are also rigidly enforced.
 Meantime, since both the Ter ritory and the Government are interested in the conservation of fish, they both should appoint a joint commission of capable and practical men to maMe a thorough study of the situation for the guidance of Congress and the Territory for future laws. Neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature can legislate from an unprejudiced and capable source. The less laws there are passed until that information IS forth coming, the better. Moreover, Alaska does not believe that the Government will ever turn over to the Territory of Alaska full control of the fisheries. It will at least want to continue as a partner in the business. The present trouble with Government supervision is that a few scattered gas boats try to cover thousands of miles of water, and their ap- proach to where there may be unlawful practices is like trying to hunt big game with a brass band. Practically all of the can nerymen themselves are earnest advocates of conserving the fish, in theory. but the way it works out in practice is that leach fel- low wants to see his neighbor do it first.
