FISH BUREAU OFFICIALS ON
 VISIT IN CITY

Dr Hugh NJ Smith, chief of the bureau of fisheries, and Ward T. Bower, agent at large for the bu- reau. are in Cordova from Washing ton, after having made study of fishing conditions in southeastern Alaska. They are here to receive first hand information as to the laws and regulations necessary to conserve the supply of salmon and at the same time perpetuate the industry. Dr. Smith is the first bureau chief to visit Alaska and he says that it is the sincere desire of his department to do all in it's power to assist in building up the industry. He had originally planned to make a trip to Seal island and Bristol bay but lack of time will not permit of his doing so at this time.
 The bureau of fisheries is doing more fore Alaska than ever before, its latest move being to establish a branch office at Juneau, which has more authority than the field agents, and is in a position 10 attend to practically all matters pertaining to the fishing industry of Alaska. There are at present fifty-two men em ployed by the bureau in Alaska for the enforcement of the law, exclusive of those engaged at the hatcheries and in seal island work. An appeal is also to be made to congress for more funds in which to adequately take care of the vast amount of work to be done in Alaska
 There have been eight patrol boats operated in this country by the bu- reaus, besides those under special charter According to MT. Bower several more patrol boats have been added to the fleet operated by the bureau in the north this year and at many of the principal streams fish wardens have been stationed to pre- vent fishermen seining in the streams. He considers that the stream wardens are a great factor in the conversion of Alaskan salmon as they prevent the rObbing of the spawning beds instead of apprehension of cul- prits after they have taken the fish. The fact that few canneries are oper- atiug this year. MT Bower thinks, will have a great effect for good upon the salmon run a few years hence.
 Another boat has been acquired from the navy department by the bureau It was used for patroling purposes out of Boston. The new vessel is 75 feet in length and pow cred with twin 60 horsepower ea- zines. The boat will be brought to the Pacific coast soon and should be in commission in Alaska next spring, with headquarters at Juneau.
 Dr. Smith and Mrs. Bower this afternoon visited the territorial hatchery on Eyak lake. While their department has no Jurisdiction over this plant they are naturally inter- ested in it's work. The bureau of fisheries maintains hatcheries at Yes bay and Afagnak and these officials are anxious to extend hatcheries wherever conditions make them de- sirable.
