PROTECTING FISH

Many suggestions are forthcoming regarding the salvation of the Alas ka fisheries. As rule. says the Seat tie Alaska Dispatch. these suggestions come from scientists. fly casters and big game hunters.
 They are sound. hard headed and practical men on the coast and in AL lska who would and could devise ways and means for protection of Alaska fisheries. Coming to mind quickly suggests the Seattle publication, are such men as ]. R. Hickman. of Ket- chikan, B. NJ. Behrends of Juneau. Mir. Kendall of the American Can company of Portland. D. w. Branch of the Libby McNeill and Libby com pany of Seattle. and MT. Wakefield of the Wilson company. These five men could in thirty days if given authority. outline and put into effect rules and regulations which would build the AL aska fisheries on a solid and lasting foundati tion. These men are not fly casters nor anglers, but cool, long headed business men with a degree of good common sense.

GET THE FISH

Upper Yukon has not enjoyed as large a run of salmon in years as that which is on right now. Fishermen on the Dawson front are making catches of hundreds of pounds to the boat daily. and tons of the fish are available daily. They are fine large variety the king salmon, and in splendid con- dition.
 These fish comprise one of natures Yukon There is no reason everyone should not now stock up for immediate
 use and for the long, cold winter
 months.
 Little excuse can now be offered
 for not getting salmon and salti.g them down or storing them in cold shafts or smoking them. The fisher men are selling them as low as 25 cents a pound and possibly lower in large quantities.
 The supply is so plentiful that every 
 man and dog should be amply provid- ed for the winter. The Indians in particular should stock up. There is no reason why Indians should be idle about the streets of Dawson or else where while the seasons salmon run Is at it's height and then be around asking the government for rations or the people for handout in midwinter. If the simple children of the forest have not the initiative and the fore sight to nick up the food and lay 1t away when it comes to their door, the wards of the government should see that they be made to take advantage of the providence of nature. If the Indians have no nets. the Indian de- partment of the government could provide them with the same. Fish is food. and food is scarce and high throughout the land. It is abso- lute folly to let such bounteous sup ply of food slip by when it can be had for the taking. Now is the hour of opportunity. News

TO ADVERTISE ALASKA

Bureau officials at Washington are to be warmly commended, says the Cordoya Times, for the decision that large sum is to be appropriated for advertising Alaska. as in no other manner can the travelling public be att tracted. This has been amply proved by the many American and Canadian steamship lines operating to and from Alaska who have collectively during the past twenty years expended three million dollars in advertising scenic attractions and industrial opportuni- ties of the Northland. Naturally one cannot expect to hear that the Gov ernment would appropriate propor- tionate sum annually for any snch purpose but any expenditure in the populous centers of the East cannot help but attract attention to the Te. . ritory, and at the same time 1t will be helpful to the Territory in many other ways. The greatest care. how ever, should be used by those who prepare these advertisements, to pre- vent any rush to the North of indi- gents, laborers and others not possess ing small amount of capital with

THE OELEcATEsHiP

Dan Sutherland should and proh- ably will be elected this year as Alas ka's delegate to congress.
 He is well qualified for the job and 1t is an advantage to n territory for it's delegate to belong to the administra- ton party. After March 1. 1921 the republican party will have the presi- dent and will control congress by a large ma jority in both houses. Any body who doubts this is suffering from hectic Wilsonitis.
 Dan Sutherland came to the north west with pioneer van following the Klondyke discoveries. He has re- mained here ever since. He has mined in Nome, Atlin and Panama. and has fished in the Panhandle. He has q persoal acquaintance turnout the ter ritory not exceeded in extent by any Alaskan. He knows all the sour doughs and many of the newcomers. and he knows what every part or AL aska wants and has an intelligent idea of what every part of Alaska wants and has a reasonable chance to get.
 Alaska needs at Washington dele gate who has the intelligence and in dustry and patience to help preoccu- pied members of congress undedstan1 that they can get more useful infor- nation about the territory from peopie who live here than from apostles of general asininity in the far east who want to try their fads on this long suffering field.
 The republican candidate for dele gate was born and raised in New En- gland and has capped his early edu- cation with the free life vision of the northwest. He knows the east and he knows the west. He is thorough bred American and a thoroughbred Alaskan. It's enough. h.-Anchorage Times.

which to provide for their own needs: otherwise the Government would be greatly embarrassed in having to send
 ship North to bring such people out. For years past. Alaska advertising has ever discouraged this particular class from moving northward. Conditions are so unlike any other country that the only people desired from an indus trial viewpoint are those possessed of either the ability or capital to invest and then develop. To advertise the scenic attractions for the tourists and then the wonderful opportunity for legitimate investment and industrial development will prove of the greatest possible benefit to the Territory at large.

Any Juggling with the steamship service of Alaska. declares the Valdez Miner. would be a disastrous blow to the Territory, and would probably give our people the worst times they have ever experienced. It may be true. ad- mits the coast paper. that the steam ship companies charge huge freight rates, but they are in line with other charges. Up to two years ago our people had little to complain of in their treatment by the steamship lines Fares were cheap. freight rates were reasonable. and We had good service. When one considers that twelve ships of over two thousand tons each are plying to Alaska waters, with a popr- lation of but about 3O.OOO persons to serve, it must he seen that charges must be high If we are to have the boats. It is unfair to charge the steam- ship companies with extortion in the face of present high prices.
