THE FISHING GAME

JUNEAU, Feb. 11.-To The Editor --"Pirates of the Silver Main," is the headline of an article in the De- cember number of the Popular Me chanics in which it states this alarm ing fact to, wit At every projection of the coast line a trap is located to catch the "slyer horde" as it swims with the Japanese current in search of suitable rivers in which to spawn. Pirates have been a men, ace to the fish traps for years.
 There surely must be another side to this story. Are the fish traps al- lowed by law to be opened on Sun days? No. What happens if the trap is fishing good The watchman
 is promised a bonus to keep trap open. should he conscientiously ob- iect, then the cannery tender lays at trap all day, no doubt, carrying away about 50000 fish. Is it any wonder the fish are getting scarce when they are not allowed for one day to swim past these traps on their way to a spawning bed?
 Last summer one of the largest canneries in Southeastern Alaska had boat that ran to Lituya Bay and caught fish from a small red salmon stream which empties into the bay. Across the mouth of this stream were stretched four nets, on shore were men with gaff hooks in case one salmon should get by tha nets there would be no chance Of making oyer the first rifle.
 Reader. this - instance just shows one that other men can be fish Dir. ates besides the selner who has been deprived of so much fishing ground on account of tlie traps.
 Along the shore from Point Cover den to Excursion Inlet will give any one good idea in regard to what the fish traps are. doing.
 Unless adequate laws are passed in which traps are allowed to be open only certain days the fish of south eastern Alaska will soon be of the past Then should these laws be violated, the penalty should be so great that it would not be profit able violation as 1t has been hereto fore.
 have been told by a long resi- dent of Juneau that IS years ago he saw fish so thick that they could be caught with pike pole Where are they now? Has the gill-netter and seiner caught them all or is it the trap kept open on Sundays and not giving them a chance to spawn?- As long as the traps fish illegally there will, no doubt, be the illicit brailing of traps.
 We would have several thousand more people living here engaged in fishing should the traps be limited These people would make their homes here, spending their money here instead of sending it all out of the Territory
 Fishermen and people that are in terested in this fishing industry let us get laws passed that will govern the fish trap and do away with the floating trap altogether. If we can not get what is just and right in the legislature we should get together and vote for the man who will do his uttermost to get laws passed that will give us continued fishing re. source
