COPPER RIVER FISH HATCHERY
 IS ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

The recent hearing before repre- at Cordova, conclusively proved two propositions, namely; That the Cop per river was being over fished to such an extent that three or four years more without regulation will undoubtedly result in the absolute finish of the river as a source of has been the result of too intensive fishing both at the canyon and on the delta. It is to be hoped that the department will take immediate steps to remedy these conditions. Better few wholesome regulations now than the loss of million dol lars to the canneries and of untold millions to the people of Alaska
 However, regulation of the rivier is not enOught. Dr. Gilbert, recognized to be the greatest authority in the world on salmon, stated in the hear ing held at Seattle in 1917, that the Copper river did not at any time produce the run of salmon which it's size and extent of the spawning grounds tributary to it seemed to warrant, A great help to the bring ing back of the Copper river to it's former condition and even to a state better than before, would be brought about by the establishment of system of hatcheries at the spawing grounds. The success of hatcheries for red salmon has been conclusiyely demonstrated by the ex, perience of the Columbia river fish, cries during the past few years. In spite of the most intensive fishing the hatcheries have increased the run to such degree that it was possible to take 1000 cases from that river this year and still leave ample fish to insure plenty of seed This has been done by keeping the fry until they were developed to the lingering stage, a process never adopted in Alaska, where the prac tice of the canneries who main tained hatcheries, for the purpose of avoiding the payment of tax under the law of 1906, has been to turn the youngsters loose to shift fo1 themselves at so early period of their development as to leave them an easy prey to the elements and to the predatory fish which were hungrily waiting for them.
 The establishment of a central fish hatchery at Cordova or Chitina from which fingerlings could be transport ed to sub-stations at the various spawning grounds would be of ines timable value to the future of the industry. Our next delegate should be asked to introduce such a bill
