Sec. Hoover Explains Views on Fisheries
arthouake Rocks City of Los Angees-Number Injured

" A% @ ss@ ~@ ~ and where there was even actual starvation among the Indians and their work dogs. In other places regulations have reduced the pack ot red salmon, which are the most de pleted and a reduction in the amount of gear that can be used by each can nery on every species, should tend to make the total pack less in proportion to escapement to spawning grounds, as are exampled by variation Of methods on Bristol Bay. The regu- lations abolished the whole of the ex- isting traps in Cook Inlet. On the other hand independent fishermen as we'll as canners, support the neces- sity of the great majority of the take being by traps. This is due to the physical character of the bays, as we'll as to other factors. Much expe- rience will be required to evolve the most successful method of balancing the factors and securing the recuper, ation of the fish supply traffic.
 All talk of definite laws, univer- sally applicable, is nonsense. There must be variable and constructive regulations, under broad authority Furthermore, in sdealing with prob lens of so wide human and property interests, there should be established under such legislation an appropriate method of appeal to some indepen dent commission, or authority. The experience gained under the reserves will be of great value in working out constructive legislation, and the ad ministration has earnestly desired and received, great deal of con structiye suggestion from the people involved in the industry.
 Create Board of Alaskans
 In order that there shall be definite machinery for recruiting such expres sion and to secure the advice and co operation of the various elements o1 the industry and the public at large I shall with the approval of the Pres ident, create a board in Alaska tC consider and advise with the depart ment as to the regulatio under the reserves. Thi Sadvisory board vii be able to advise upon methods anC grievances, and will not only rein force constructive work, but will give full voice to the Alaskan people ant make impossible the deliberate mis representation which has hitherto been current.
 Our primary purpose is to restore this industry. The responsibility rests on the officials who have the authority to translate it into action Pious statements, scientific discussion and political oratory will not spaw1 salmon. Conservation cannot be car ried out without a temporary reduc ton in the amount of fish taken, ol the one hand, and without construc tive measures for enlarged propaga tion on the other. These are no agreeable duties, but they are part o the responsibility of public office, ant I am confident that they will receiv, the support of the well-thinktng mel and women of Alaska, who treasur their country, not alone for them selves, but also for their children.

r. J. Sweat, thus winding up a
four day search for the suspect IN
the $500 nayroll robbery on the
Waycross-Alma highway.
Z No trouble was offered the

and the man who has held the neigh
boihood in terror tor years is now
himself suppliant before the bar
of justice.
Just what led wilcox to give
himself up is not known. Whether
or not is was the belief on his part
that an armed party might try to
capture him by force after his re-
ported open defiance of the autho-
critics a few days ago by riding
through the streets of Alma in his
wagon with his winchester across
his knee, may never be known.

HER Els MAN
WITH SOLID
GOLD RIBS
copyTAsht. 1928. = - Company.

DERLIN.-Breslau, in Silesia.
boasts Of a citizen who is
- outfitted with set of golden
ribs, and every stranger who visits
in city is regaled with the story OF
this man and his abnormal anat-
omy.
While at work on the roof of g
three-story house he was knocked
off his feet by a strong gust Of
wind and dropped to the ground.
The physicians diagnosed his case
as hopeless, his skull having been
badly fractured and all of his ribs,
with the exception Of one, COM
pletely crushed.
After lying in the hospital for
four years and a half he was re-
moved to the surgical clinic, where
platinum plate was inserted into
his skull and new ribs made OF
place. This delicate process Of re-
grating occupied nearly three
years, after which the man was
dismissed, and has since been en-
ployed in cigar factory, where he
has charge of heavy machine.
Not having the means of under
going an operation involving large
quantities OF the two costliest
metals-goId and platinum-the
man applied for aid to his trades
union, which agreed to advance
the money on the condition that
their comrades family gave n
written pledge that upon his death
the metals would revert to the as
ISOLATION.
The man is still living and, the
trades union now looks upon him
as peripatetic gold mine owing to
the sharp advance made in all
precious metals, but especially
platinum by reason of the war.
It Is said the man lives in con-
slant fear of being kidnapped since
learning of the daily so-called
metal thefts'' reported from Ber-
lin and other German centerS.
