as seeding, the installation of the

Claims Fishing Industry Is "Monopo- ized by Big Interests and Waters
 Are Being Looted

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.- Suit has been filed in the District Col umbia Supreme Court by Delegate Dan Sutherland enjoining Secretary Hoover from issuing permits for fish ing rights in Alaska.
 In a resolution introduced in the House today by Delegate Sutherland, he asked for the administration of Alaskan fish reserves by committee of five members of the House, to be appointed by Speaker Gillette.
 Delegate Sutherland charged that the reserves have been dishonesty administered by the Bureau of Fisher ies, and proposed in his resolution a committee of investigation and report relative to 'any monopolization or at tempted monopoliZation of the fishing industry in Alaska"
 Delegate Sutherland's action in talk ing the fisheries question to court, has occasioned much surprise among the congressmen and statesmen in the na- tional capital, as it is the first case on record where a member of the cab inet has been enjoined by law from carrying out the duties of his depart ment.
 It was known here that Delegate

Giant RedWOOds
MAY Be Restored

San Francisco. Aug. 16. CA. Ply
Californias giant redwoods, some of
which, still standing, were saplings
when the Vikings first sighted the
coast of North America, and were
good sized trees when William the
Conqueror's Norman hordes landed
on the shores of England a thousand
years ago, will have been entirely
destroyed within short time ac-
cording TO the California Redwood
Association here. unless measures
now being undertaken for their re-
forestation prove successful.
Nurseries for young redwoods have
recently been established by two
lumber companies in northern Cali
fornia. AT Fort Bragg. Mendocino
county. 100000 young redwood trees
are now growing from seed, suf-
ficient number to reforest $500 acres
a year. Enough additional young
trees to reforest 1900 acres annually
will be supplied by this company in
the near future.
Another company. at Scotia, Hum
boldt county, has a redwood nursery
of 100000 trees, while a number of
the twenty-five redwood companies
in California have taken a pratical
interest in the reforcstation.
Besides the nursery trees. about
one-ffth additional second growth
lumber is expected to sprout from
the stumps of old trees.
