\ VERY FOOLISH SUGGESTION AND A
 WISE ONE.

Alaska has no desire to run necessary
 capital from the territory but We believe
 that the eannogiea bcttling up the spawmg
 streams should be made 10 suspend operations
 at least every other year until the fish sup
 ply is roplenished. We believe that the small
 packel. should have the same rights to hsh
 ps the large combines have and vice versa
 We believe Chat closed season should be
 established and adhered 10. The present laws
 are jokes, the canners can pay the me
 and make thousands of dollars by fishing.
 If the eannery interests were barred en-
 tirely from Alaska for period of two to
 four years they would make more money in
 the ong run by reason ot higher markets and
 more feh.-tS Seward GatewayJ
 There is not question but that steps must be taken seen to bring about d greater eseapement o salmon to the spawning grounds or the fisheries in deal1y Alaska will be seriously affected How oyer it would dislstrous close the canneries en tilely for that would result in desructien of tho market. People would become accustomed to using ether foods. has taken time and money to develop the demand for canned salmon throughout the world and there muat be continuation of production o the demand may disappear to such extent that th work would have to be dene in large measure.
 There is no question but that the small packer should have equal rights with the large packers, ant We know of none who does net recognize that fact Even the much abused Bureau of Fisheries has dont nothing to warrant the accu4ion that il is seeking treat the small packers unfairly. It has proposed the reservation system for the reason that e seemed b it the met feasible manner of proceeding in tn absence of legislation the subject Notwithstanding that the conservation of salmon supply Alask las been matter of very tensye discussion in Alask fer than decade there has been Legislation for Alaska fisheries since 1906. The reservation sys tom was not offered a solution of the situation bu to meet emergency that has been caused by tn failure of Congress to egislate.
 The Empire quite agrees with the Gateway, how ever. that in the end tho proper remedy must com fiom the Territorial Legislature" Many of the gov ofnmenta ills with which Alaska is afflicted would b cured if we had a full Territorial form of government
