The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

We print the following correspond ence because it reveals the "mind" of E. M. Ball, field agent of the Bx- reau of Fisheries and since Henry O'Malley sustains him, the mind of the entire Bureau.
 The fact concerning the illegal trap at Staney's Creek is that this trap was inside the "dead line" from the very beginning; that this fact was known to the watchman placed there by Jack White, head warden of the Bureau; that many fishermen protested the illegal trap; that the watchman drove off fishermen who attempted to fish near the trap; and that during the last season this trap, unlawful at all times, caught over 175,O00 salmon, we are informed, most of them being sockeyes. The value of the fish at the minimum price paid for humpbacks, about 5000. If but 5O,00O sockeyes were caught here, the value would increase to $19,OOO. The Bureau allowed this trap to remain here and fish during the entire season of this creek.
 After a plea of "guilty" was en- tered, this company was fined $4OO. We will say for the presiding Judge that the Bureau of Fisheries offered no information to show the contempt for the law, with which the Booth Fisheries had built their trap, the connivance of the Bureau them selves, the rich catch of the illegal trap, and the fact that the Cannery was guilty of about 40 counts since every day of illegal fishing is separate crime under the law.
 As for the District Attorneys force, one of two things is true; either they allowed their well-known sympathies for the rich and powerful to close their mouths when they could have assisted the court as was their sworn duty, or they were so tickled to think that at last they could add victory to their long list of defeats, that they grabbed at the chance.

 Juneau, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Referring to the activities of your department in Alaska with special reference to unlawful traps like Staney Creek, almost every instance like this emphasizes the fact that to your department there seems to be one law for the seiner and another for the big trapowner.
 The trap at Staney Creek was there in violation of law from the beginning of the season, about July 1st. Your watchman knew it, your warden should have determined it when he made his first inspection, and yet it is not till August some time that you take the first step to stop this unlawful contrivance.
 When your watchman was asked why he drove seiners off from the very district in which the trap fshed, he is reported to have shrugged his shoulders and said "Oh, the trapman has pull and you haven't" We are beginning to believe that.
 The dead line is a mere matter of opinion when it concerns the trap and moves in and out to suit the convenience of the big fellow whose influence you fear, but where the seiner is concerned, the law becomes a rigid thing to be enforced by fearless" officials bound by their paths to uphold the law"

 Dear Sir:
 Receipt is acknowledged of your communication of August 13 protest ing against the action of Warden John T. White in defining the closed area at, the salmon stream of Salmon Bay. MT. White was acting in the interests of the preservation or pro- tection of run of salmon at Salmon Bay without thought of discrimina- tion against any fishermen. His action is approved and will be sus- tained by this office.
 It was my good fortune to take Commissioner O'Malley, Senator Jones and Representative Hadley into Salmon Bay recently at about low water and to point out to them the location of the notices indicating the boundary of the closed area. They were unanimously of the opinion that the notices were yet too near the stream and that they should be moved something like one hundred yards further out as only in that way would reasonable protection be afforded the salmon. They also stated voluntarily that we were en- tirely too liberal in the marking of such streams. In view of these state ments it is probable that the pro- tected area off the mouth of the stream in Salmon Bay will be ex- tended in 1924.
 Yours very truly, (Signed) B. M. BALL,
 Assistant Agent.
