SUGGESTIONS WORTHY OF ADOPTION.

The yearly closed periods for salmon fishing and
the emina Of waste now prevalent in the herring
packing operations suggested by the Territorial Fish
Commission in resolutions adopted by it last week
and sent to the Bureau of Fisheries are worthwhile
II is proper that Territorial body should call the
attention of the Bureau of Fisheries to these and
ether matters holds to be of interest to the Terri
tory and of value to the general fisheries industry.
The scope the jurisdiction of the Territorial Com
mission is strictly limited and any remedial action
must come from the Federal organization.
The first suggestion is that has been advanced
many times from unofficial sources. Mr.. Hickman,
prior to becoming member OF the Commission, had
sponsored the idea and frequently urged its adoption
in public discussions OF fisheries problems. He, i'll
common with majority Of others who init
mately connected with the canning industry and know
they really exist convinced that the
Sunday closing requirement is 81 futile be a
foolish encumbrance the statutes. The Commits
sion takes that view by declaring that the weekly
closing periods imperative. Only by suspending
fishing operations during least part of the time

proper escapement Of fish into the spawning
streams. Thus. no matter what action may be taken

period be made a requirement.

Territory. 1t would be short-sighted policy that
would permit the continuance of methods of opera
