Rowe, Episcopal bishop of Alaska. reported here. Bishop Rowe is on his way to Washington to present the Indians case to the government.
 A closing order against commercial fishing in the great rivers of Alaska, effective September 1 of this year, was issued last December by the Blu reau of Fisheries for the protection of the Indians. but Bishop Rowe says the canneries are working to get the order rescinded and he is making this special trip to the States to fight reversal.

"The canneries at the mouths of the principal rivers are using up the salmon that for gener. ations have supplied them with food, and threaten to put an end to this fish in Alaska.
 '"fhe only other hope for food the Indians have is the moose and cari bou and sections of Alaska are bare of them.
 "The situation the Alaska Indians face is very serious. They are mol under the Indian Bureau of the i United States, are in little contac With the government. and have few | to speak for them"
