CONSERVING SALMON INDUSTRY
While there is merit in the state

70 While there Is merit in the state ment of the Bureau of Fisher fes that restriction of salmon fish ing in Alaska has resulted in con- serving the supply, there are other causes which loom in equal importance if not in excess of the { restriction rules. Among these ] causes is the work started by Will , liam Studdert,, who two years ago, served as special agent of the Bu- reau of Fisheries in the Cook In let reserves. MT. Studdert, who is one of the leading fish authorities of the country, discovered that there were three causes of salmon depletion-overfishing, destruction or, fish and failure of the salmon to reach the spawning grounds.
 Coincident with enforcing the rules against illegal fishing. MT. Studdert, placed many fish-ways in streams of the west, and with pow der blew out rock falls and other impediments in the streams.
 While the time is too short to nuke a positive statement, 1t ap- gears that where the streams were freed of Instructions, the salmon have increased materially.
 Mir. Studdert's observation was to the effect that the enforcement of the law against fish wasting, all lowing the spawners to reach their natural spawning grounds, and net ting out the trout which are the greatest enemy of the salmon. there would be sufficient replacement each year to make up for depletion by capture. He predicted that Cook Inlet, within five years would have an annual pack of 5000, 900 cases without depicting the supply
 As is shown in the annual report of the salmon pack, the output for 1926 reveals an increase of 805, O70 over 1925.
 No better work could be contin- ued than MT. Studdert's initiative Tn clearing streams, thing retard- cd because of lack of appropria- tions sufficient to meet the cost. a While the abuses of everlasting have been minimized, they cannot be entirely eliminated until more patrol boats are placed in western

ALIEN VIOLATING LAW
 DENIED CITIZENSHIP

In the matter of the petition of .orgen Kostad, for rehearing and reinstatement of petition for na- turalization in the Supreme Court ruled that citizenship was denied to an alien because he had been convicted of violating a fishing law within five years, as the Court de- clared that Section 1852, subsection f., Comp. Stat, 1918, rests the burden on the applicant toshow that lie has been we'll disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during the five-year period, and in violating a fishing law he was not so disposed as fact misdemeanor though it be.
 Says the Court, Tt shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the Court admitting any alien to citi- zenship that immediately preced- ing the date of his applicatin he has resided continuously within the United States five years at least, and within the State or Territory where such Court is at the time he has behaved as a man of good noral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and we'll disposed to the good order and happiness of the same"

, waters.-Anchorage Daily Times. The Bureau of Fisheries for sev- eral years have been making a great pretense about their efforts to con- serve salmon in Alaska. The only thing about the indusrtry they have successfully undertaken is fooling the law makers in Washingtn into believing that they were actually doing wonderful work for the coun-
 try.
 There is only one way to con- serve salmon-cut down productio4
 The eagles may be wiped off the
 face of the earth; the seals may be
 used up for mocassins; the black
 bear exterminated; the gillnetter
 and the seiner sent to other climes
 for the conservation of salmon. But
 until the effort to grab and can ev- ry ast fish, even to the humpback
 rinus tails and fins, is stopped de- pletion will continue.
 E No. Messrs, O'Malley, Hoover and cohorts, including several "arm- chair salmon experts, putting up re- cord packs running over a million cases is not a conservation measure and he who insists it is, must be wofully blind.

REACH AGREEMENT ON NEW STREETS
Acceptance Of Three Thorough,
 fares in Near Future
JUDGMENT. FOR SKINNER
New Britain Man Loses Suit Against Local Rcaltor-Tuncral of Arthur Inrrar-Final Plans For Banquet Madc-Legion Meeting.

An agreement which will lead to the quick acceptance Of Prentiss and Forrest streets and probably to more rapid development of the western section of Plainyille was reached at the meeting Of the town plan com mission. Large delegations from both of these streets were present at the meeting. bringing a signed petition requesting the commission 10 carry matters through and make estimates of the cost of grading and placing hard surfacing on these much discussed thoroughfares. The residents Of the Bristol side of For rest street signifcd their willing ness 10 share in the expense Of these measures. which are necessary be- fore the streets are accepted by the town.
 The two streets are linked to- gether In their fortunes, since, with out the acceptance of Forrest, Pren- tiss would be a dead-end street leading to an unaccepted road. Grade maps of the two streets will be prepared and the town planners will then be able to form a fairly close estimate of the cost of putting the roadbeds in shape. It was voted that an estimate on grading Trum- bull avenue should also be made. v A hearing will be held sometime in the future at which tho residents will have an opportunity to signify thoir approval or dIsarproval of the maps and plans for grading, street llncs. and building fines. It is hoped to have the maps ready by the next meeting of the commission, and the hearing can then be held shortly afterward.
 With so many real estate de Velopments" in the past few years in Ilainvillc, new streets have been laid out much faster than they can he prepared and accepted by the town, some of the developing com panics not putting the roads in the shape required before acceptance. At the present time, Chairman John E. Lamb of the town plan commits sion states, there are 20 miles of streets in Plainville.
 The commission gave its formal approval Of the layout Of the high school last evening.
