ENCOURAGE AN INDUSTRY

A recent news dispatch states that the Department of Agriculture is do- ing everything in it's power to en- courage fur farming, which has al ready reached huge proportions. While this may be true to certain extent the actions of the department tend rather to harasS than encourage fur farmers in this district. The Ter ritorial Legislature also placed sever al burdensome taxes upon fur farm CTS and their products at its last ses- sion, all for several years with no income. Few farmers start in on a scale insuring quick returns, pre- ferring to stock their islands and pens with a few animals and de- pending on the increase to bring Another thing that causes for dis content is the fact that a fur farmer can secure no title to his land, but is liable to be overbid or dispossess- ed and not given time to remove his buildings and stock Several cases of this kind have occurred in this division, and in each case the man who leased the island was a heavy loser.
 There is no more reason why fur farmer should not have title to his land than there is to keep any other homesteader or agricultural farmer from owning his land. Buildings cost money and improvement placed on leased islands are insecure. If the department really desires to aid the fur farmers let it give bona fide res idents the same chance it does the agriculturalist. Let the onerous tax es on pelt be remover, and let the farmer catch fish for fox feed with. out prescribing his limits and holding him to sections where no fee is ob. tainable. The rentals of these fox islands is too high and in sections controlled by one bureau is lower than sections controlled by others This should be remedied.
 Fox farming is risky business at best, the percentage of failure being about three out of five. With ex penses mounting and taxes being slapped on indiscriminately, there is little chance of the business reaching anything like the magnitude it should

Seward is fortunate in having one of the best wharves in the Terri tory, according to Captain Nord, Of the Alaska, who believes Cordova has the next best. The Seward wharf can accommodate three boats the size of the Yukon, and has a depth of water giving ample safety to the largest boat calling here. The gov ernment wharf is supplemented by the Standard Oil wharf and the San Juan packing company wharf, which insures ample berthing space for a large number of vessels. Seward is also fortunate in that the winter winds blow off shore instead of on. No boat can be blown away from the dock, the only menace being heavy seas making up from down the bay.

THE FISHERIES SITUATION

Henry Roden, independent candi- date for attorney general, struck the keynote of the salmon industry when he stated that a case tax should be placed upon the larger companies high enough to protest and encourage the small local canner. This is the principal involved in the tariff, which seeks to protect the local manufac- turer against unjust competition by foreign manufacturers. In no other way can a business be built up at home. Protection should be extended Alaska capital in every possible way, and unless this is done, the local man will be frozen out, and the mar kets manipulated until he is forced to suspend operations.
 This has been the principal argu- ment against the efforts of the Bu- reau of Fisheries to establish fish re- serves for the protection and propa- gation of salmon. Criticism is not directed so much at the establish ment of reserves as at the way in which they are established, where in nearly every instance the larger can nery combines get the apple and the small concern the core. If the bu- reau is really sincere in it's efforts to ameliorate conditions, why not curb the larger companies and give the smaller ones more latitude.
 Certain recommendations were made at a recent meeting of the board to close up Resurrection bay and Uganik bay, at which places the two small canneries are operated by the Kodiak Island Fishing & Pack ing Co.,, a Seward concern, operated entirely by local capital, a number of citizens combining their capital for the building of these small plants. In Resurrection Bay the local cannery which is a small concern operated by water power packs probably 5000 cases on an average. Whenever fish are running the escapement is two or three times as large as the num- Der of fish packed. This can be shown by watching the number of fish ascending the streams. When no fish go up the streams the can nery gets none. In other words whenever the fish run in the bay at all, the streams are full of fish.

 Jones Stays Amateur

Jones Stays Amateur
 If Bobby Jones never wins another title or another round of golf he should be celebrated for a long, long time as one champion amateur athelete who played the amateur game to the last putt. There were strong temptations to play slightly off-side and there were many 1llustrious precedents, too, es- tablished by men who are still amateurs in the technical sense because they have been an amteur. He didn't write ar tlcles after he became a champion be- cause the promoters haven't been over ly anxious to obtain his writings be- fore he won the title, and he had the straight sense to admit to himself that it wasn't his writing but his name and his championship that the syndicates wanted to buy.
 Bobby is only a young man, recently married. If he had turned professional he might have made as much as $5O,- OOO in his year as champion, and he might still be going along as an ex- champion, earning a greater income than half a dozen American governors. Of course, he is not a poor boy and he didn't need the money, but it does take some determination in these days for an open champion amateur golfer to remain an amateur. Even a rich man might find it troublesome to toss away a gift that would amount to the in- come on million.
 Simon Pure
 In order to preceive the contrast be- tween true amateur and one who wishes to kid himself and the public. one may compare the conduct of Bobby Jones with that of some other technical amateurs, particularly the literary ten his celebrities who are not subject to anything like the pressure of tempta- tion that bore down on Bobby Jones. because tennis is not a highly paid game. The tennis stars succumbed to the lure of comparatively small change and even that little is more than they would be paid if they were not writing under their own names made valuable by their connections with amateur sport. The Tennis association recently proposed that one of the literary giants of the sport should submit the question of his true newspaper worth to an im partial tribunal of editors. His accent ance of this test has not thus far been reported.
