USE OF SALMON BY FOX FARMERS OF ALASKA

1 The Bureau of Fisheries in reply to
 certain strictures upon the effect the recent reservation orders would have
 on fox farmers have mailed The Gate-
 way the following. which from our
 point of view does not give the fur farmer much encouragement, as it states that fishing for fox-feed will be
 under the same regulations as fishing l for salmon, and that fishing can be done only in prescribed sections allo- l cated by permit
 The article follows:
 ] In the regulations issued December
 If and 16, 1922, for the Alaska benin sula fisheries reservation and the southwestern Alaska fisheries reserva- ton is a provision as follows:
 Cox farmers may take and pre-
 pare salmon for fox feed in all le-
 "gal ways, but must secure per- "mits from the Secretary of Con-
 "merce."
 The Bureaus representative in the various districts of Alaska have been authorized to receive and pass upon applications from local residents for fishing operations upon a small scale. in which class fishing to supply fox ranches is of course included. Inquiries made during the past sea- son by representatives of the Bureau of Fisheries developed the fact that considerable quantities of salmon are used for fox feed. the chief species
 being humpbacks. Most of the fish are apparently purchased from con- mercial fishermen, but in some cases the fox ranchers do their own fishing
 In this connection it is felt to be de sirable to emphasize the point that such fishing is commercial and is sub- ject to all the restrictions imposed by
 law and regulations. Fishing on the spawning beds and within the streams
 in order to supply the fox ranches is | just as much violation of the law as l if the catch were destined for can nery. Compliance with all of the re- strictions imposed on fishing is neces- sary to conserve the supply of salmon
 by allowing natural reproduction, since there is no more certain method
 of exterminating the salmon than by 1 taking them on the spawning beds. Fox farmers are urged to aid in pre-
 serving the supply by seeing that the fish they use are not taken within the
 protected waters.
 Some anxiety seems to have been felt in certain quarters lest the efforts of the Bureau for the protection of the fishery resources of Alaska work un- due hardship upon fox farmers. On
 the contrary, it is not the intention of the Bureau of Fisheries to place any handicap upon the fur-farming indus
 try of Alaska, but to cooperate in ev- cry way in its proper development. It is felt that this end will be attained through better understanding on the part of the fox fur farmers of the real need for protection of the fisheries and the methods through which the conservation of the salmon runs may be secured.

The charge made was serious one and it was supported by material, which, as presented to the public created pretty firm impression that something was wrong with the deal by which the big packing companies got their temporary" fishing monopoly. To brand the charges as tbunk," was. to say the least, not a very impressive answer to it.

Vermont "Juice"
In Deerfeld River

Wilmington, VT, July 10 CA. p
The Deerfield Valley between this
town and the Massachusetts state
line is in process of transformation
from a quiet. picturesque country
with one little village and several
agricultural communities to a great
artificial lake. This reservoir of en-
ergy is destined to send power over
electrical transmission lines to mills
and factories many miles distant in
Massachusetts.
On either side of the valley are
chains of high hills running almost
parallel to the Deerfield River. Here
and there the valley widens to include
open fields, and again the hills close
together to leave but a narrow pass
for the river. At Davis Bridge. where
the valley Is wide, a dam is being
thrown across. Under present plans
the valley will be flooded in 1924.
Against the huge dam the river will
send water from its sources in the
Vermont mountains until 1t reaches a
depth of 200 feet. The water will
back up against the hillsides and
submerge fields now under cultiva-
ton. It will cover the little commun-
ity now known as Millers' Mills and
will wash back to the outskirts of
Wilmington. The lake to be created
will be ten miles long and half a
mile wide.

full in its accomplishments. Without
doubt the announcement by Secre-
tary Tom Smith of the Augusta "Y"
that today the entire group will be
transported to Augusta to see the
circus, was the most welcome Of the
day. Cheers resounded for many
minutes and it finally was necessary
for Uncle Jeff to call for quiet.
Secretary JEFF Smith explained to
the Augusta Rotarians that everyone
was expected to do as directed in the
camp, and then proceeded to call
upon the visitors for a song, which
was given with several encores, and
enjoyed by the boys almost as much
as the visitors appreciated the rem
ditions by the boys. The evening
program consisted of several anna
teur boxing matches in the auditor
ium. And again in this part of the
program the Rotarian visitors got a
new and more complete insight into
the wonderful results that even a
week at the camp under the trained
leadership have produced in the boys.
The various matches were ar
ranged through volunteer effort.
Two boys Of the same size and
weight and perfect "buddies," who
had never had on boxing gloves be-
fore, would fall all over themselves
to get into the ring. and then would
proceed to give a fast clean exhibit
ton. all In the best OF good sports
manship, and after their stunt would
go back on their bench and sit
arms over shoulders and laugh at
the next pair of lighter-than-fe ath-
erweights. seemingly trying to knock
the everlasting daylight out Of each
other.
The Rotarians made the return
trip to the city at various times
throughout the evening by automo-
bile, and it is a question who had
the most enjoyment out of their late
afternoon visit to the Y camp, they
or the boys. But 1t Is certain that
the members of the Augusta Rotary
CLUB who went out there last eve
ming and saw and participated in a
couple OF hours of the daily pro-
gram with the boys, came away with
better conception of the how and
why of this splendid agency through
which real manhood Is in the max
ing, and the Rotarians can right
fully feel that the movement start
ed by them through which over a
hundred Augusta boys will enjoy
the advantages of two weeks at the
camp this summer, was the create st
actual step toward a real accom-
plishment of something worth while
in boys work that 1t could be nos
sible for them to take.

Planning Special
Feature Saturday at
MacOrnber Playground

The Macomber playground is a
busy place this summer with some
thing doing all the time. Director
Jack Hyde has promised something
nice for Saturday afternoon but has
not as yet announced the program.
This will be very special occasion
however and the kiddies will surely
enjoy fine time.
The wading pool is one of the most
popular places in town at the pres
emit time and offers the youngsters a
chance to wade without any danger
to them. Through the courtesy Of
Secretary Smith Of the Augusta Y.
M. c. A., Director Hyde will be able
to take a group of the boys to the
Y. M. c. A., pool for a swim each
Thursday. This is a chance that
the boys will not neglect and one
that is properly appreciated.
Another activity now being pro-
NOTED there is a ring toss league for
both boys and girls. Several experts
have already developed in this line
and there will be quite q contest for
supremacy.

R0TARIANS ENJOY TWO HOURS
WITH AUGUSTA GROUP OF BOYS
AT State Y. N. c. A. CAMP

About IS members of the Augusta
rotary Club with several of their la
oies as special guests went to the
states Y. M. c. A. camp Tuesday after
noon to observe the activities and see
TOT themselves q part Of the daily
, program which the boys at the Augusta
rotary camp are enjoying. The Rota-
rams sat on the rocks on the shore
, near the swimming floats and watched
the Junior and senior groups gambol in
the water In the late afternoon swim
ming period. and then they entered
right into the spirit Of the camp and
became boys themselves and did Just
what they were called upon to do by
Uncle Jeff' Smith. just like the reg.
ular members Of the camp.
At the request Of the Rotarians no
, diversion was made from the regular
schedule Of the camp. And the Rota-
rlans sat down to, and thoroughly en-
Jeyed. the simple but wholesome fare
set before the boys at the tables in
the big dining hall. This part Of their
visit to the camp was particularly in
teresting to the Rotarians. When they
entered the room they were greeted by
prolonged cheering by the hundred odd
boys who had already taken their
1places at the tables. One, verse of
/ America" was sung in a lusty and
| snirited manner and then. without any
previous warning or preparation. one
OF the lads IN the Augusta contingent
was called upon to say few words OF
welcome to the guests. As the Angus
/ ia boys stood, that all in the room
( might see them, jeff Smith called upon
the Rotarians to designate one of them
| to make the welcoming remarks. Fer.
maid Bagley was called and performed
his part In most acceptable manner.
This was but one of several ex-
| amples of the self confidence and
self reliance that Is being instilled
, into the boys by the leaders at the
camp. Later different boys were
called upon to lead the whole group
in camp songs. and quartet was
picked out to render selection. In
less than two weeks time their nat
ural diffldence has been overcome,
and in these and similar ways they
gave an indication of the manliness
| that they are learning as part of
the many advantages of their sojourn
at the camp.
| About this time strangely dis
torted little figure appeared at the
door of the dining room. He was
admitted and introduced as William
Miller of Augusta, in the costume
which won for him the first prize in
the "Horribles" parade on the 4th OF
July. Miller was placed on a table
where all might see him and jeff d.
rected him to pick out the best look
ing lady among the guests. He
serutinized them all carefully, rubbed
his chin and then his head in an at
titude of deep meditation, and then
turning to jeff said, II don't see
any"
The leaders Of the various camp
activities announced their programs
for the rest of the week and this de-
tail gave the Rotarians a more COM
| prehensive idea of the splendid sche-
dule of daily events which makes
the camp so attractive and success
