So. as he naturally wished TO meet

the young couple, with Colonel and

around the Alaska salmon fisheries, which, it is conceded are being overworked. measure introduced at the suggestion Of the sporting fishermen provides that all migra- tory fishes shall be placed under the ad- ministration of one bureau. which shall have authority to regulate the fishing thereof. All migratory fishes" is very comprehen- sive term, because. with the exception of a few suckers and clubs found in landlocked lakes, all fishes are migratory in their habits. Fresh water fishes swim intermediate streams and many saltwater fish, such as herring, shad and salmon, go from the sea to the rivers to spawn. There is not much danger that this bill will be enacted into law. It would mean the ultimate creation within the Department of Commerce of an organi- zation somewhat resembling the Department of Agriculture
 Two theories have been advanced for the preservation of the Alaska salmon in- dustry. One is to split the territory into four five different parts and suspend fish ing in one or more of these sections each year. This, it is said, would be all right for the big packing concerns. which have installed cannerits all along the coast of Alaska, but it would prove disastrous to the smaller concerns which have only one nery. The second plan is to limit the size of the pack from each cannery each year, thus giving a certain number of fishes oppor- tunity of reaching their breeding grounds, the number allowed each cannery to be de- termned by the number of cases packed over a period of years.
 Dan A. Sutherland, Delegate to Congress from Alaska believes the best way out of the problem is to turn the whole thing over to a commission of five Aaskans, and allow them to decide just what should be done and then act upon that decision. This bill, of course, will meet the opposition of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, which does not propose to relinquish any of it's powers, and of the sportsmen and ultra conservationsts as well. They argue that five salmon cannery men might be appointed to the commission and that they would ad- minister the fisheries only in behalf of the canpery interests. This sort of argument goes pretty well in Washington, for during the wild-eyed days of the conservation craze, the idea was carefully built up that as soon as man is appointed to Federal or Ter ritoral office in Alaska, he becomes the ser want of selfish and dishonest plutocrats.
 All things considered, it does not appear likely that anything will be done at this session. There will be a lot of conversa- tion, but that will be about all Sixteen years ago Great Britain and the United States began to talk about signing treaty for the preservation of the Fraser River sal mon. The treaty has not yet become eff fective, but in the meantime this run of fish has been virtually wiped out of existence It looks as though the salmon which swim to many of the Alaska streams are headed for the same fate.

Gov Bone declared the other day in address Tacoma that 3S bureaus are just 37 too many to exercise the authority of government over Alaska. There is great deal in that statement upon which base the hope that may better things in government here in the NorthJ We assume, of course, that Gov Bone had reference only to the government of those things that Federal in their character, and was taking the things that properly matters for self-government into account.

 The task of the Prohibition Commissioner is to prevent enforcement from becoming a joke It is natural for him to ask cartoonists scenario writers and vaudeville performers to take a less waggsh attitude toward the law. Why do jokesmiths Commits sioner Haynes doubtless asks make murder, even of mothersn-laws a jest? Why do they condone brutal ity, even toward fat men? The is, of course that funmakers indeed lawless. Think of the assault and battery that sprinkle the comic pages with exclamation marks? Mutt and Jeff in any but comic world would spend ninetenths of their time in hospital Think of the variety of horseplay that would land any who tried it in jail What poker playing; and with how much respect is family life treated by the rolling-pn school? Yet assaults and criminal fraud not increased by all this wit or insanity, and family life maintains its healthful ness. It might be well if our mad wags acquiesced in the serious view of prohibition but their waggery is not of supreme importance
 Nine men in ten would heartily echo MT Haynes request from another motive. The professional funny men are apt interpreters of any public craze Beginning with the bicycle and boomer girls quar- ter century could trace all America's whims through their comic handiwork.

FISHERIES LEGISLATION AT WASHING
 TON DOUBTFUL.

That there is not likely to be any fisheries legis- laton at Washington for Alaska during the present session of Congress is the opinion of J. J. Underwood special correspondent of the Seattle Times the National capital who specializes Alaska news Not only that but MT. Underwood presents situation that to doubt that there will be any legislation at the following session.
 There is way that Alaska could get legisa- tion to preserve and regulate the fisheries, and The Empire believes that in all probability it is the only way that it be secured If the people of Alaska would ask with unanmity for legislation givin; Alaska full Territorial government such the other Territories had, including the power legisate on the fisheries question, Congress would, believe, grant it. It could not very well refuse grant it in view of the American historical precedents of a tury and the right of the people to it.
 MT. Underwood in a recent telegraphic letter to the Seattle Times discusses the fisheries question it presents itself Washington in this way:
 Before the present session of Congress is
 over, considerable attention will be devoted
 to the askan and other commercial fish
 cries. There will be much talk but little
 action. All that is necessary to start
 gument in Washington is to bring up the
 subject of fisheries It is generally agreed
 that the great marine food farms being
 depleted, but no two persons of the
 opinion as to what should be done to prevent
 the industry from being entirely destroyed.
 One element, which is largely concerned
 with fishing a sport says that the only
 way to prevent the fish from being devas-
 tated is to stop fishing excepting, of course.
 for such few fish as may be taken by rod and reel. Whenever this plan is mentioned.
 there emanates a loud protest from the
 mercial fishermen and the exporters and inn
 porters of food. They deliver long and
 learned dissertations showing that the fish
 ing industry is important factor in the economies of the country, only from a
 food standpoint. but from the view of the
 thousands of sturdy and women who toll upon the They tell you right of
 how much salmon it takes to equal five
 pounds of porerhouse steak and how the
 price of meat will still further advance if
 fishing is curtailed prohibited
 But the proponents of restriction or regu-
 lation seem to have established the fact that
 certain fshes such Holsters. shad and Pa
 cihc salmon, are not being given sufficient
 opportunity to propagate their species This means that the industry cannot be per- petuated if the present unrestricted fishing is allowed to continue
 As is usual in controversies of a national character, Alaska has been scheduled to play the part of the horrible example and much of the present discussion centers
