NEW FISH BILL
 IS INTRODUCED BY MAINE MAN
Would Extend Jurisdiction of Bureau-Si Similar Meas
 ure Tn Last Congress.

A bill increasing the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Fisheries over Ter yitorial waters by giving it author ity to close to fishing all waters within three marine miles of Alas kan streams has been introduced in Congress by Representative Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine. A similar measure was introduced in the House during the last session Of Congress and was favorably reported by the committee, but was never act ed on.
 The measure follows in full:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con. gress assembled, That the Secretary of Commerce may, in his discretion, set aside any streams or lakes as preserves for spawning grounds in which fishing may be limited or en- tirely prohibited; and when, in hls Judgment, the results of fishing op- eratons in any stream, or off tho mouth thereof indicate that the number of salmon taken is larger than the naturak production of sal mon in such stream, or that fishing therefor in any manner is liable to so diminish the run of salmon in such stream as to endanger the food supply of the natives or others living thereon and dependent in whole or in part on salmon for food, or to deplete the supply of fish therein. he is authorized to establish close seasons or to limit or prohibit fish ing entirely for one year or more within such stream or within three marine miles of the mouth thereof: Provided, however, That such power shall be exercised only after all per sons interested shall be given a hearing, of which due notice must be given by publication; and where the interested parties are known to the department they shall be per sonally notified by a notice mailed not less than 30 days previous to such hearing No order made under this section shall be effective before the next calendar year after same is made: And provided further, That such limitations and prohibit tions shall not apply to those en gagged in catching salmon who keep such streams fully stocked with sal mon by artificial propagation"
