Determination of Trout Necessary
 For Preservation Salmon Industry
By CHARLES DARWELL

of supply would be cheaper and more effective than any other method of conservation, and would not work a hardship on anyone. Read the following figures and estimates :
 Average yearly pack
 6,O00,OOO cases Sixteen fish per case
 96,OO0,000, fish Divide the run of fish equally between fishermen and spawn ing grounds. 6,000,000 each Number of females entering
 streams .... 48,000,000 females Each female deposits 250O eggs
 2O,0OO,00O,OO0 eggs
 (Eyery egg is a possible fish) Give the fishermen 96 million; reserve for propagation 96 million; total for consump- tion and propagation
 192,OO0,OO0 fish Subtracting 192 million from 120 billion we have balance of
 119, 9,SOS,O00OO This balance is wiped out by poor conditions on the spawning grounds, and by trout and other enemies of the salmon
 Of the 12O billion eggs deposited the fishing industry consumes
 .0016 per cent The trout and other
 enemies destroy .99S4 per cent These figures give you some idea of the situation. It is of course i'm possible to say how many eggs are destroyed on the spawning grounds and how many young salmon are devoured by trout, but these figures will serve to show that the balance on the wrong side of the ledger is entirely too large.
 Cut and slash these figures any way you like. Do your own figur- ing. When you get through I know you will decide to kill a few trout before you kill the fishermen. Remember this Out of 250O eggs laid in the stream
 249S are completely destroyed Only two salmon out of a possible | 2500 live long enough to reproduce themselves. If greater number reached the spawning grounds the number would be increasing AS destroyer of salmon the tro-lt is to the fisherman as 624 is | to 1. We make laws to regulate the fisherman and let the trout carry on. Why 2?

McDame Greek
Reprinted from Vancouver
 Province)

Sir,-It may interest your reat- CTS to learn that there is a much more important area in Cassiar than Eagle River to prospect for placer gold. This is in the vicin- ity of McDame Creek. I made a mineral survey of the district in 1897 and discovered a new terri tory which has only been slightly explored. McDame Creek was the richest in Cassiar District.
 Dr. Dawson, in his report of 1877, states: Eagle River, dis covered 1874, bar diggings unde- veloped McDame Creek, highest average yield per day, s6 to $100, the gold being worth $17.75 per ounce. This is the most important creek in the Cassiar region It is being worked for fifteen miles and will yield largely for several years.
 There are two creeks in a basin close to McDame Creek, where ex- ceptional prospects are found. One man took out s2O,0OO, a nugget weighing three pounds being part of his cleanup. This prospector met a sad fate, being burned to death in a cabin at Dease Lake, with one of my men. The gold commissioner took possession of the gold and sold me the nugget. This was melted at Ottawa and coined into s2O pieces. It was the first gold ever coined in Canada. The basin referred to is the most promising portion of the Cassiar District
 A bench on one of the creeks was worked and proved very rich, but the creek itself has never been worked. Vancouver should SUD- port the reviving interest in this most promising district.

 olr,-Reterrng to an article in your issue Of the 9th instant, re- porting a conference last Monday ol various prominent institutions and lndlylduais urging that aliens mine owners in British Columbia.
 This is all very inc in theory, but had aliens been debarred from owning mines in this province, l doubt very much il It would hol, such a prominent position as mineral producer as 1t does today.
 How many native sons or Brit ish Columbia know where the Gas siar District is, and what kind ot q country it is?
 For years the old-timers Of the Cassiar have been asking the gov ernment to build a road seventy two miles long, from Telegraph Creek, the head of navigation on the Stikine River, to Dease Lake. so as to allow prospectors to get supplies and transportation at reasonable price, and for years the government turned down any such proposal.
 Had it not been for an Ameri- can syndicate headed by MT. kuehl of Seattle taking up a mining lease at McDame Creek, and taking ill forty-iye tons of machinery, the government of British Columbia would not have spent a cent on building a wagon road and there by helping prospectors in that dis trict. As it is owing to aliens owning mining rights in the Cas- slar, there is now a partly-built road from Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake, which may at some future date be completed
 1 have lived in the Cassiar Dis -rci for twenty-six years, and during that time 1 have never known of any assistance being given by the Vancouver Board of Trade. B. C. Chamber of Mines, Native Sons of British Columbia or other prominent individuals mentioned in your article, and very little by the B. c. govern ment towards the opening up of Northern Interior British Colum- bia; and by north, mean north of Prince Rupert, which is only about half way.
 What money but American has helped to keep Atlin on the map? Is it Canadian money that is being spent on the Engineer Mine, Boul- der Creek, Ruby Creek, McGee Creek and discovery around Atlin, B. C., or at McDame Creek, Thibet, Dease and Mosquito Creeks in the Dease Lake district?
 It is not-our own people have not been so enterprising. If our own business men of the govern ment of British Columbia are not or coura ageous enough to look ahead and help towards the opening up of our country, then let the alien do it for us, and not try to rob him of the fruits of his strenuous struggle.

Lopp Resigns From Bureau
 Of Education

The resignation of w. T. Lopp. as chief of the U. S. Bureau of Ed ucation activities in Alaska, sub mitted recently while he was at the national capital, became effec- tive last Saturday.
 MT Lopp passed through Wran- gell a short time ago on the schoon- CT Boxer returning to the States after a season spent in the Arctic. At that time he gave no intimation that he intended to leave the Bu- reau. His friends throughout Al aska feel that he has had reason for some time to be dissatisfied with the work and it is said that only a strong sense of loyalty to his appointees in remote stations has kept him from accepting a po- sition with private enterprises
 No announcement has yet been made by the authorities at Wash ington as to who will succeed MT. Lopp.

cle written by Isabel Amber Gill man and reprinted from the Alaska Weekly, regarding the valuable work accomplished in Alaska by MT. Lopp, is of interest:
 In the fall of 1920, Mir. Casper w. Hodgson, president of World Book Company. Yonkers, New York, said to the writer: William T. Lopp once told me a story con- corning the domestication of cari. bou which contained valuable in- formation. If he can be per suaded to put that story on paper, I will publish it for the benefit of school children"
 MT. Hodgson was looking for unusual material for his series of Animal Life readers for the grades. He selected his writers from the ranks of those whose life experi- ence made them undisputed au- thorities At the time mentioned he had in mind the first three text books of the series.
 David Starr Jordan's story of "Matka, the Seal" brings into prominence the fur seal industry of the Pribilof Islands. William T. Lopps story of White SoX, the Reindeer" will take millions of youthful readers to the top of the continent and acquaint them with another important industry in the least known portion of our Alas kan empire. In both stories We find the gleanings of the authors during long years of intimacy with the animals, stories containing tre- mendous moral lessons and brim- full of interest to all students.
 The name 'Lopp" has been as- sociated with the word reindeer" for so long that Alaskans take it as matter of course. They are more interested in computing the present value of the industry than in giving thought to it's inception. However, the appearance of this little school reader sets a fellow thinking along other lines. Lopp, the veteran educator, becomes Lopp. the school teacher and pio- neer trail blazer of the Northwest.
 Oh, yes! Thousands of other men and women have gone to Alas ka to teach school" during the last thirtyfour years, but no teach CT ever undertook a more hazard ous job, stayed with it so long, or so indelibly stamped his name up- or the great territory
 Records show that thirty-fve years ago William T. Lopp was principal of schools at New Am sterdam, Indiana; they show also that no white man had dared make landing at Cape Prince of Wales in northwest Alaska for a dozen years on account of the open hostility of the Eskimos. Uncle Sam was plan ming a school at that place, but the Bureau of Education lacked suf ficient funds The young Indiana teacher applied to Washington for the Cape Prince of Wales job, and the outcome was that he and Mir. Thornton of Virginia were sent to that "Hell-hole' to start subsidized mission school, in the summer of 1890.
 Thornton, my fellow teacher, and I started from San Francisco on the whaling tender Jeanie, which was taking supplies to whal- ing ships in Boring Sea-" Lopp told the writer. "We had with us a years supply of food and the equipment for our school. Lumber for the building had been shipped on the schooner Oscar and Hattie

a the states negotiating with air plane manufacturers and making arrangements with the customs service for the operation of two fast planes into the Dease Lake district early this spring.
 MT, Sahlinger has not stated the type of planes to be used, other than they would be one ton hydro aeroplanes capable of accommodating l2 passengers. It is his intention, the reports state, to operate the planes out of Wrangell, clearing at the customs house at the boundary of the Stikine River and make Dease Lake the other terminus of the flight.
 Airplane ''mushing' to gold strikes is no longer a novelty in Alaska. Noel Vein and associates operated fleet of airplanes out of Fairbanks during the season just passed with great success and is now in the states making arrange ments for obtaining larger and faster planes to augment the ser vice. In the Eastern Canadian h. .terior planes are reported to have completely supplanted the former methods of passenger traffic and dog teams and boats are used only for the transportation of the heayi- est types of supplies and machin- cry.
 Local aeronauts, of whom there are several, have been consulted by MT. Sahlinger and others who con- template aerial service to the new placer strike and opinion is divided as to the possibilities of such ser vice. All are agreed upon the fact that the flight is perfectly feasible but the type of plane to be used and whether any profit may be de- rived is a bone of contention. Ar my and Navy aviators who have been questioned aSeert that h. plane capable of making steady zrsps to the nov' Iiggiu", with ny degree of safety is a plane of the Douglas air cruiser type which was used by the round world flyers. This machine would cost $12,0O0 and aside from any other expense would cost $500 to negoti- ate the round trip from Wrangell to Boundary to Dease Lake and re- turn. The Douglas type of carrier would be able to carry but two passengers, pilot and very few pounds of freight, so that almost exorbitant rates would have to be charged to make any profit in such a venture.
 Backers of the proposed service. however, assert that the HS-2L plane now used with great success by the Aero-Marine Corporation on the Miami-Key Vest Bahama run is ideal for the purpose The HS-2L is equipped with two 45O-horsepow- CT Liberty motors and has a wing spread of 96 feet. The plane will carry 12 passengers and a pilot with ease and costs less than half the amount required for the Doug las air cruiser and is considered admirably fitted for the proposed service. This plane has high speed, economy of operation, carrying capacity and most important for such a run. exceptional maneuver- ing ability in its favor. The climb from Wrangell to Dease Lake over the Coast Rockies is said to be greater than 2,O00 feet and any plane to successfully negotiate such service must be capable of sus- tained climbing ability

The conservation of the Alas ka fisheries has been the subject of much discussion but owing to the lack of information we have not yet arrived at any acceptable con- clusion.
 Everyone knows that the fishing industry is the handspring of ev- cry other industry in Southeast Alaska, and that a sufficient sup ply of salmon of salmon is neces- sary to. the fishing industry. Our source of supply is therefore of prime importance, and the con- dition of our streams and spawn ing grounds is the key to the whole situation; for if the condi- tions were such that all the eggs would hatch, and all the young salmon would live to maturity, we could, with our present supply of salmon, expand the fishing indus try beyond belief.
 That the conditions of the streams and spawning grounds has some bearing on the question is proved by the fact that Anan Creek produces at least ten times more fish than Thorne Bay, which is larger and longer stream If we knew how, we could probably make Thorne Bay produce as many fish as Anan Creek. We need informa- tion, but we can get this informa- tion only by systematic investiga- tion, and some time must neces- sarily pass before we know enough to make intelligent handling of the spawning grounds possible. But in the meantime we can make no mistake by starting a war of ex- termination against the trout.
 When we look at our salmon streams and see the wholesale de- struction of eggs and young sal mon. we begin to realize that re- stricting the activities of a few fishermen is simply wasting time, and that operating a few hatcher ies is only producing additional food for the trout. Hatcheries may prove to be the proper solution of the problem after we clean the streams, kill the trout, and take measures to protect the young sal mon until they are big enough to fight their own battles, but not be- fore.
 Ninety-nine and five-sixths per cent of the eggs laid in the streams are destroyed by unfavorable con- dition of the spawning grounds, and by trout and other enemies of the salmon. Why not try to re- move some of these enemies? They contribute nothing to the wealth of the community; they are heavy drain on the fishing industry, and they retard the development of the territory. If we cripple the fish ing industry by wrong legislation, excessive taxation, criminal neg lect of the source of supply, or by any other means, we at the same time cripple every other industry; the bulk of our population will be forced to leave, and the economic condition of the territory will re- ceive a blow from which recovery will be slow.
 l believe that by improving the spawning grounds and killing the trout, we can increase our salmon supply, expand the industry, sup port larger population and stimu- late every other business in the Territory. I believe we can do this at cost so low as to be out of all proportion to the benefits secured, and that we can then safely let the fisherman catch at least five times more fish than he is catching now.
 Killing the trout would be con- paratively easy. Improving the spawning grounds would perhaps be more difficult. We can never
