ONE CLASS THAT THINKS JUNEAU DEAD.

cumulated property have done through hard work
and the application of sound and honest business
methods, and by reinvesting their profits in city
building here They have lived their lives and reared
their families in That is the sort of enter
prise and progressveness they believe in They are
always ready back the who comes to town the
minute he shows that he is ur-fusher, but
that he is honest and earnest worker and ready
to give value for what he gets But they dead
leary of the sure-thng exploiter of the public.
Juneau has never been a pleasant home for the
spectacular boomer who seeks to capitalize enthus-
iasm and rake in profits from the sale of stocks and
bends Ito dupes who be hypnotized into parting
with money in exchange for hot air. 1t has never

BRITT BILL PROVIDES TERRITORIAL
CONTROL.

The central fact about which the Britt Fisheries
Bill is built is control of the fisheries industry OF
Alaska by the Territorial Government 1t provides
for the management of fhe industry by commission
appointed by the Governor for closed season,
for the reguatoll-and limitation if necessary
of traps and other devices and for the catching
OF salmon and other things. 1t gives the proposed
commission extraordinary powers to closed seasons
and areas, limitations traps and packs, etc But
behind it all, power is given the Territorial Legis-
ature to change the law experience and its juds-
might dictate Therefore, the thing of first
importance, is the fact of Territorial control.
This is as it should be If Congress should enact
the Britt Bill it would mean that a start will have
been made the regulation and preservation of the
fisheries industry and the provided for the
development of such legislation and regulations as
time experience may indicate shall be necessary.
