The clerk gave him a piercing look,

anything, he thought the man was

THE FISH COMMISSION REPORT

The report of the Alaska Territorial Fish Commission for the last year, is document that is we'll worth reading. It dlscloses that great deal of progress has been made through the efforts of the Territory to arrive at satls- factory basis from which to work the preser- vation of the fisheries industry of Alaska 1t also shows satisfactory results In actual ac- complishment.
 The conclusion that the Sunday closed period is ineffective and useless In the pres ervation of the salmon supply except In the case of those estuaries that open directly into the ocean. The intmation that closed seasons would be useful if there were proper organ ization to prescribe and enforce them IS based on common sense, as is the declaration that closed season fixed by statute would be harm ful to the industry and would not get the de- sired results Likewise sensible IS the sugges- ton in favor of closed areas, provided, or course there were a competent authority to desionate them and an adequate patrol to keep them closed. The proposal to limit the pack is of the same nature, and its efficacy 1nnandent unon the same conditions The whole question depends upon intelligent and adeouate control-a control with authority to study conditions from year to year, to make
 
 necessary and the power to enforce It's reSu- lations. The suggestion that there should be D single directing head of the Terrltory's actlV- ities in the premises, instead of CommlS- sion serving without compensation, IS ln the interest of efficiency. The powers of the Ter ritorv are so limited by the Organic Act that t is not feasible to have a Commission the members of which could give the time and at tention necessary to accomplish desired re sults If the Territory had full powers in the premises, as it ought to have, then Com mission might work better than a Commls- sioner The State of Washington has tried both systems It is now operating with a Commis- sion.
 Very interesting is the story of the war that was made upon predatory animals and fish. While the results were not great they were large enough to demonstrate the practicabilltv of the work undertaken. The circumstance that 10000 trout and 1925 hair seals were killed during the year is not so important in itself as the fact that 1t has been demonstrated that the enemies of the salmon can be reduced to such an extent that an appreciable saving of the supply may be made in that way.-Juneau Empire.

THE LAST FRONTIER

 With the building of the Valdez z-Fairbanks trail and it's adaptation by autos it was be- lieved the last word in luxury had been reached The transition from dog sled to stage, and from stage to auto occupied about ten years The old timer paid his hundred dollars for passage from Fairbanks to the coast, the trip taking from three to four days, owing to the depth of the glacier streams and the con- dition of the roadbed.
 The building of the Alaska railroad changed all this. Instead of four day trip, stopping

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WILL HAYS

Soon will come the Peggy Hopkins will reach our shores, and then will follow the new burst of press agent junk doubtless to the effect that these stories of men commit ting suicide for love of the ''bewltchlng" screen star are all nonsense and untrue. The public must be caught coming and going, and every twist and turn of opportunity capital ized by the publicity factories.
 It is amazing, however, how soon these cheap seekers of publicity crawl into their shells when they find the public resentful of their advertised exploits. The Motion Picture Owners Association has barred Peggy Joyce pictures from the screen in the interest ot wholesome entertainment. Hence the panic. The free advertising worked, was a source of qualification undoubtedly up to the time this blow fell, but as soon as the financial bump came-and the radio quickly spreads the word these days-indignant denials of suicide stories began to fly through the ether, and seeming dignity took the place of complacent satisfaction.
 Thus there is presented to Will Hays strlk- inc lesson which, if needed, will lead to com Dlete reform in motion picture press agent work. The great industry has been strangled bv it's press agents almost to the point of deatE They have run riot for years, and seemingly thev are still at the same old tricks. Protest has been made time and again to the motlon picture producers, but all suggestion has falI- tn on deaf ears. The eXploiters of both press and public have been practically running the motion picture industry without lnterference and they have run it pretty much into the ground They have brought about censorship in many of the states, and if permitted to continue their bIatent and sensuous appeals, they will bring about a censorlous condition that will be still more harmful. It is time these consciousess sensationalists were curbed and great industry be permitted to work out its destined place in the scheme of pubic happl- ness and mental growth unhampered by such destructive influences. If few more films that depend upon notorety for success are barred from the screen, and the manufacturers face a fw millions of dolars loss, perhaps they will then wake up to the fact that their spectacular press agents are an expensive luxury. Seem ingly, nothing but an assault on the pocket book will affect them.
