Gilbert Harkelrod and Arthur Elm
saloonkeeper and bartender respec-
lively at Ill South Rowland avenue,
spent Sunday in a nice cool place,
namely the basement lookup at the
city hall. They were thrown in jail
Saturday night by Police Sergeant
Max F. Kramer following raid on
the premises when both men got a
little too jolly with the musical
glasses.
The arrest was the result of two
raids made Saturday night by the po-
lice sergeant and his crew of aides,
both raids being deemed successful
for the officers brought back the goods.
Two Men Knock Over Stuff.
The raiding officers were Sergeant
Kramer, officers Turkelson and Or
gish. When they opened the door at
the saloon of III South Rowland ave-
nue. at 1890 o'clock Saturday night,
something began Immediately to hap
pen.
Harkelrod and Elm were both be-
hind the bar, business being so brisk
that it was taking two men to handle
trade. Customers was standing right
up to the bar, row of men, all parch-
ing for drink.
But at the entrance of the police
squad there came a sound of tingling
glass and smashing bottle. With a
sweep of the hands the counter OF the
bar was cleared, Liquid was spilled
and the smell that rose to high heaven
was that of alcohol and moonshine,
the police sergeant said. The two
were locked UP for their freshness on
the charge of destroying evidence.
Found Wine Near Furnace.
The police continued their raid of
the place and found home brew bot
ties in a basement adjoining the
saloon which they say it occupied and
used by the proprietor. =
A strange hiding place for the illicit
liquor was found in the basement OF
the poolroom at ITO Park street. The
license for the place is held in the
name of. Louis CESAR, but Louis the
police say holds down a job in one of
the west side factories, while his
brother Angelo is the real proprietor.
Angelo followed the police around
while they made their raid.
He was an interested witness while
they descended into the basement.
The furnace is located in a pit, and
this pit is outlined at one end by a
plank. Lifting up an end of this
plank the police found neat little
hiding place.
Here they found two one-gallon
jugs partly full of wine.
Louis Cesaro was arrested on the
charge of unlawful possession of in
toxicating liquor.

The Alaska fisherman., 1925-09-15
Ketchikan, June 30, 1925

M. w. G. Smith,
 Territorial Treasurer,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 You will remember that 1 introduced a bill in the last legislature providing for system of taxing nonresident fishermen, and repeating the present law, and that you appeared against the bill, and also that it passed the House and later on passed the Sen ate, but owing to the fact that it reached the governors office within three days of adjournment, the gov ernor gave it his pocket veto.
 The Juneau Empire, in discussing this lack of approval, stated that Governor Bone gave as his reason the fact that you were opposed to
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-09-15

further important reason that they are almost certain to be VERY HARMFUL to the salmon industry Tn the course of few years. If the few companies now operating these floating traps continue their use, other concerns in the same re- zion will be forced to adopt similar devices for reasons of self-protection. It cut-throat policy is put into actual practice, the end of the sal mon industry as going commercial business can easily be forecast"
 Big Decline in 1919 Compared With
 "In 1918 the catch of salmon num- bered 1O1 ,454,6SS and in 1919 it was 59,172,S65. This shows decline of AZ per cent in the catch. These fig ures are a startling and significant commentary indicating succintly as they do the status of the salmon fisheries at the end of last seasons operation" "Of the more than 5S,OOO,OOO salmon caught in 1919 nearly 40,OOO,OOO came from Southeast Alaska, the balance being about equally divided between the ether two districts. From these gen eral figures let us proceed to more detailed account of conditions in each of the three districts into which the territory is usually divided, namely, southeastern, central and western sections"
 Conditions Serious
 "The situation in Southeastern Alaska is not especially surprising, as under present conditions repeti- tion of the astounding production of 1918 could not reasonably be eX- pected." "It is a recognized fact that in the southeastern district, salmon fishery operations are becom- ing more intensified each season, seines and traps alike being en- ployed, in greater numbers than be- fore, and other movable appliances being operated more assiduously as the years go by. It therefore seems that the industry cannot hold it's present position, much less grow, unless further provision is made for the replenishment of the fish cries."
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-09-15

the bill, and that you opposed it for two reasons: First, that it would not increase the revenue from our trap system; and secondly, because 1t involved complicated machinery, which would require an increased personnel in your office.
 The statement of the Juneau Elm pire seems so unreasonable, that I am hesitating to attribute this act of MT. Bones to your office, and would appreciate very much a state ment from you on this point.
 Yours very truly,
 WILLIAM l.. PAUL WIPED Representative First Div.
 July 8, 1925 Honorable William l.. Paul,
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of June 30, regarding the fate of a certain bill introduced by you during the 1925 legislative ses- siOn
 It is H. B. 31: "An act to impose license tax upon fish traps, which received the pocket veto. l will frank ly state that I did not speak to Gov ernor Bone in opposition to the bill As l recall, it provided for a basic liscence fee of $10O.0O with an addi- tional tax of $500 per thousand on all fish caught, weekly reports on all traps being required, but the Treas urer's Office being required to collect an initial fee of $20O.00, make up a tax bill at the end of the year and refund out of the extra hundred or ask for more as the reports on each trap would necessitate
 To what extent my opposition in fluenced Governor Bone, I am unable to state. 1 recall that the Empire gave me some credit in the connec- tion, but on what grounds, I can not now remember. However, can assure that failure to increase the revenue over the present trap taxing system was not one of them. In all probabi- llty an increased revenue would have resulted, but to speak advisedly in the connection one would simply have to take our tax records for the past year and figure the fish trap taxes under the rates sought to be i'm posed by H. B. 31. Then there would
