Trout Destroy Spawn
 Claims Studdert

Vim. Studdert, representative of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, in charge of the industry for this district, re- turned to Anchorage Saturday last, says the Anchorage Times.
 MT. Studdert spent the past ten days Investigating the salmon streams in the lower inlet. He reports the streams are oveEoopulated with Dolly Vardin trout which are very destruc- tive to salmon production.
 In one stream, Kalagin creek, on Kalagin island, he and associates cap tured over 1500 trout in less than four hours by means of a small beach net.
 While on the trip MT. Studdert made various experiments and observations for the promotion of the fish industry. He states that he has recommended the additional force of at least thirty men to be employed to destroy the trout and also clear Instructions from the salmon streams for the general betterment of spawning grounds. The money is not available at the present, he states, but will undoubtedly be a part of the 1925 program for this dis trict
 Weather conditions in the lower in let are still unfavorable and the op- orators have necessarily been delayed in their operations. A few red salmon have started to run and the operators can only hope for a partial pack thj5 season, on account of the delay and also the limit imposed upon the packs.
