He is taking all these scores to Boston, and probably most, if not all, will be played there. But Mir.

and still the mob stormed the doors try ing to get in.
 doubt if Koussevitsky ever quarreled with anyone on Bolshevism, or anything else aside from music. Therein lies all his interest and all his capability of getting excited.
 He is interested in choral music as well as orchestral, and in the union of the two. In Moscow he organised a choir of 250 voices to give choral works in conjunction with his symphony or chestra.
 His chief interest undoubtedly is in the discovery of new music and making it known to the public. He introduced Debussy into Russia and twice invited the great Frenchman to Moscow and Pctrograd to conduct his own works. Many of the Debussy works in Kotisse- vitsky's library are annotated by De bussy's own hand.
 Koussevitsky was the farm friend, the discoverer, and patron of Scriabin. The composer always considered Kousse- vitsky the best interpreted of his works Koussevitsky was the first to perform Scriabin's "Prometheus' poem.
 As part of his work in the field of new music, Koussevitzky and his--wife arc the publishers of rEdition Russo de Musique, which they began in Moscow in 1909 and now continue in Paris The aim of this publishing business is to print the music of young Russians of talent, who otherwise might have diff. ficulty in getting their works printed The recommendation of Koussevitzky

Great Orchestra Conductor Finds Much Good In Jazz;
 Still Seeks New T aIent
Serge Koussevitsky Comes Here After Widest En-
 thusiasm In Europe

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Serge Kous- sevitzky, one of the greatest musical directors in Europe, arrived yesterday on the Aquitania to become conductor of the Boston Symophony orchestra, the first Russian to attain this honor. In the last your years he has appeared as guest conductor of the London Sym phony orchestra, as well as in Barcel- ona, Madrid, Rome and Berlin.
 The arrival in America of Serge \ Koussevitsky to become conductor of
 the Boston Symphony orchestra, turns attention not only othe man himself
 but to what he. e seeker after new
 genius. hopes find in America. Ex-
 ponent of both the classic and the
 modern, he will search here for tal-
 eut--or better-and with no bias
 against jazz he may be the first to 1. find an American Beethoven. MT. Koussevitsky's following in Europe is
 of the enthusiastic sort usually cre- yated only by opera stars. The fol-
 lowing interview was secured just be-
 fore his departure from Paris for the
 United States.

THE CHILCAT RIVER

John w. Troy who betrayed his benefactor after leaving Clallam County, Washington, has written sev- eral editorials on ,the Chilcat h. dians and the closed season on Lynn Canal. The betrayor of Governor Strong says that the Chilcat situa- tion is a sample of what would hap pen if all traps were abolished and then charges that all canneries would be closed if the policies of Dan Sutherland and William l.. Paul were adopted.
 Now what is the truth about the Lynn Canal district? First-the de- pletion of fish in the Lynn Canal district is due directly to the traps in Icy Strait. The fish are caught long before they get into Lynn Canal. The policy of closing Lynn Canal only means that the Indians will not be allowed to catch the few fish that get past the big traps in order that the fish might spawn and bring back more fish for the big traps.
 The Bureau of Fisheries are to- day manipulating Alaska for the fish trust.
 Take the statement of Democratic betrayor of Governor Strong, towit:
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-10-15

that abolishment of the fish trap would mean all canneries would close down and see if there is any truth in what betrayor Troy says
 In 1923 there were 60 million salmon caught in Alaska. Of this amount about 20 million were not caught by traps. If there were no traps the hand gear would catch another 20 million. Therefore we would have enough canneries for 20 million salmon.
 It is perfectly silly for anyone to say that if we had no traps we would have no canneries.
 There was time when there were no traps in Alaska and all fish were caught with hand gear.
 For further proof that the truth and the Juneau Empire are total strangers I cite the example of Can ada. There traps are prohibited eX- cept near the American border where traps are allowed to compete with the Americans. And still Canada has canneries.
 The fisherman, White and Indian, will not turn me down so long as I tell them the truth. And here is one-Alaska does not need traps and they must be abolished.

Comparative Catch ir 1920:
 Seine catch 9,773,5OO; traps 21,- 69O,OOO.
 The 1921 legislature accepted MT. J. R. Heckman's word, that the av- craze catch of the trap was 100000 and therefore the tax on the catch should begin at that figure. The trap tax is now $20O for the license and must be paid whether any fish are caught or not. After 100000 fish are caught, the trap owner must pay $2.0O per thousand over that. Who counts the salmon? Why, the trapman, of course.
 Sound reason would tell us that traps should be taxed on the catch, if they are allowed to exist at all.
