The Continued Bull Market.

There seems to be no end to the bull
market in Wall Street. Yesterday it
looked for time as If the tide had

topheavy by recent buying sagged and
kept on going up, and the net of the
day was buying rather than selling

Hydrangeas arborescens sterilus.

The Alaska fisherman., 1924-06-15

Hoover were against the White Fish Bill in the form in which it has passed The telegrams from their Alaska attorney, R. E. Robertson, to the different Chambers of Commerce ill Alaska asked the various Cham bers to "kill the bill." We have a copy of one of the telegrams. "Kill the bill'' was the request of the packers, and for the reason stated.
 Time will tell what relief resi- dents of Alaska will get. We hope the passage of this bill will mean the beginning of new Iday for Alaska and new policy for the Bureau of Fisheries. The correct solution of our fisheries problem will only come when Congress gives us the full control of our own fisheries.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-06-15

tEe lawlessness of these cannery op- erations and the spineless Bureau officials that we have, we cite the case of the Staney Creek Fish Trap. That trap was within the restricted area from the very beginning of last season. The Bureau put watchman there early in July. He chased seine fishermen away from the very area in which the trap was fishing be- cause 'it was unlawful to fish there." But the big trap, property of the Booth Fisheries fished there the entire season and caught about $3O,OOO worth of fish. About Aug ust 14th, E. M. Ball, field agent of the Bureau wrote that he had known for some time that this was an il- legal trap But still the trap con- tinued to fish there.
 In the fall, MT. Ball brought an action against the trap owners who plead guilty" The court fined them $4OO and costs, BUT THE TRAPMEN KEPT THE FISH.
 What reason do we now have that the White Fish Ball will improve matters? Henry O'Malley, E. M. Ball, Prof. Chas. H. Gilbert and Her bert Hoover are still in charge. Their friendship for the fish packers is we'll known.
 From the standpoint of effect ad- ministration of the best law thay Congress could devise, the case is hopeless. MT. Hoover is the duke of Alaska. For the big packers there is only one fly in the ointment. ur. Hoover cannot give them and their henchmen the exclusive right to fish in these waters. That is the one clause to which the packers and MT. Hoover objected for both parties fought against that clause. Our wa ters are open and free to all who would fish so long as the district itself is open to fishing.
 In this particular alone is the White Fish bill different from the Hoover reserves in the westward. If you would know why the long delay in passing this bill, you now have the answer. It is not generally known that the packers and MT.

THE WHITE FISH BILL
Hoover Now Duke of Alaska

Many people will consider that the fisheries of Alaska will now be con- served because the White Fish Bill is now the law of the land. Under this law, they will say, Herbert Hoover will conserve the fish be- cause he has said that this entire purpose is and has been to conserve the salmon of Alaska "for the ma tion."
 Since the year 1906, the Bureau of Fisheries, which is a part of the Department of Commerce of which Mr. Hoover is the head, has been in complete charge of Alaskan fisher ies. Indeed, the Bureau officials have testified in many hearings that Alaska is the only place where they do have complete responsibility and authority.
 The record of that Bureau and it's officials has been that our fish streams have become depleted under their very nose. In every case, the Bureau was not aware of the de- p!etion until the fish were gone en- IlielN III the case Ol the llSnJ to close the Yukon River undertaken by the Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, the Fish Commissioner, MT. Smith at that time, and his assistants, in cluding Dr. Charles H. Gilbert of Leland Stanford University, insisted that the church people were need- lessly scared. But to satisfy the powerful influence of the Episcopal Church, the Bureau did issue clos ing order for the Yukon and Copper Rivers. For proof of this statement see the Curry Hearings before Con- gress.
 In every case, it has been clearly demonstrated that the reason the Bureau officials could not see the facts was because the packers did not want their operations interfereG with and the bureau officials were afraid to incur their enmity.
