ALASKA-FUR COUNTRY

Alaska has been heralded as a great fur country. Her fisheries declared undepletable and ofter the intensive destructive methods, this years pack shown as proof of the the undiminished supply. The fur industry is lauded for it's value but nothing is said about the depleted condition of our fur bearing terri tory.
 Says student of Alaska fur con- ditions: Her fur has been exhaust ed to such an extent that in point of area she probably stands as one of the poorest producers of fur the square mile on the continent of North America. Boosting approxi- riately one-sixth as much area as that of the United States, Alaska produces less than percent of the cash-fur value that is the annual lot of the parent nation. That means that any given area of similar size in the United States, even the most thickly populated sections, with perhaps the exception of the desert portions of the Southwest, produces at least twice the fur the square mile that Alaska boasts"

HELP FOR THE FOX FARMER
Old Sourdough RICHARD CRISP

The circumstance that foxes for breeding purposes of the value of $75, 900 have been shipped recently from Alaska to Sweden has attract Cd attention to the growth of the foX farming industry in this terri : ry. A Washington dispatch points out that with favorable legislation, including permission to. rent islands for the purpose, fox farming in Alaska may be indefinitely ex- randed.
 All of which is very true, admits the Juneau Empire, but the law should go father. It should per init the fox farmers who build houses and makes substantial inn movements to obtain title to the lands upon which their homes and improvements are made. If the industry Is to expand those engaged in it ought to be encouraged to erect comfortable homes and to i'm prove their surrounding in such way as to make life pleasant No one would want to build a modern house and surround 1t with such improvements as one would like and have the home on leased ground. He would want to own the home and the ground upon which it $ located.
 To permit the fox farmers to ac- quire title to the ground upon which they build their homes and make substantial improvements would be to encourage the perment settle 1hent of the territory.

AFTER FISHING, WHAT?

George caught only 12,0O0 fish this summer. Some of the boats got only 1000 in when the closed season came on. I took some tour 1sts to the Hatchery and was told that they had not commenced op- erations because there were no fish. I asked the man in charge of the hatchery what they were going to do for the eggs for hatching the fish and he replied that they were going to get it from some streams near here sometime in September. Frank was high boat down here this summer having gotten 35,0O0. He was down at Nakat Inlet alone most of the summer"
 That is the situation in the Ketch ikan district. George has boat that is powered with a 30 horse en- zine, the boat carrying easily 5000 salmon Averaging his fish price he made a gross of $,12OO. out of which must come gas. oil and grub expense. When the net earnings is divided into seven shares there is not enough left to pay the summer expenses of the individuals in the crew.
 The high boat in Sitkoh Bay was one that shared $SO to the man.
 The high boat at the Rake can- nery was $9O0. The fishermen on the West Coast were unable to make wages. The fishermen working for the Petersburg Packing company did worse than the at other can reries. The pack of 130,000 cases did not mean as much to the fisher men here as did the smaller pack at Tyee where less traps were used. George with his catch of 12,0OO salmon has three girls and a boy 10 support on his earnings. How can it be done under present conditions
 Will the independent candidates for the legislature make any effort to better these conditions Will Tom Marquam do anything to make possible higher and more fair standard of wages for that portion of our population dependent upon our fisheries? Is the so-called inependent ticket working tr better those conditions or are they working to conserve certain vested interests? Time alone will tell upon which side they are lined. Time alone will show the people that representatives of certain sell fish interests are of those interests, for those interests and by thoes in terests and that the only interests that they know and represent are those interests which persist in talk ing the cream from the country whilst they leave naught but skim milk for those who labor and make possible a government in this terri tory.

Kansas produces two fur dol lars a square mile to one dollar pro- duced a mile by Alaska.
 Pennsylvania with 45,126 to Alaska's 586,4O0 square miles to- tailed fur sales in the sum of $2,5O0, GOO as against 71,694. This lat ter amount included $1O7,000 in fox pelts from the Pribiloffs. This in 1921. The returns for 1925 will show more than s3,OO0,OOO while it will take the entire fur catch in Alaska from 1912 to 1924 to yield $1,455,65O and this also includes the Pribiloff fox.
 Louisiana with an area approxi- nately one-twelfth that of Alaska produced in 1924-1925 $6,3OO,0OO. To compete with her Alaska would
 
 $79, ,960,0OO using area as basis of Iroduction.
 In spite of the difference in popu- lation New York produced 344,283 pelts against Alaska's 396,369; Pennsylvania produced 1,616,000 and Louisiana produced 100000 relts. Even in the number of deer killed Pennsylvania leads Alaska. The farmers of that great State are even asking permission to xiii deer because they are destroying truck gardens while in Alaska already the r2ed for more rigid regulation is seen. The need for the program of restocking is very evident. Such, 3 policy has already been advocated and in very small way a start has been made
 The fish industry is gone insofar as resident fishermen are concern ed. The average catches of fur is insufficient to carry the fisherman trapper over the winter. The urge is made that the pulp industry will be Godsend to Alaska. It is our humble opinion that the pulp in- dustry will come to Alaska just as soon as it gets good and ready: that it knows as much if not more about power and timber resources than does the Forestry department. They are at present not interested more than casually and that casual inter- est has excited a few so that they make wild predictions and promises that they have not the least idea will be kept
 In the meantime the fisheries are being destroyed. No amount of praise as to conditions of that in- dustry by O'Malley or any other henchman of the Fish Trust can hlde the fact that salmon streams in this and other sections is without sufficient seed to insure the industry in the future. Rules and regula- tions which do not conserve are but measures for the direct purpose of misleading the public and in truth are but falsities.
 The need at this time Is an hon. est conservation of resources and an efficient, fearless leader to bring the fish and fur industry back to normalcy and thereby give to resi- dents greater earning power. High CT wages and more residents is what | the country needs. Destruction of l these natural asset means the re- tarding of the development of the | Territory and placing of the bur 1 den of government upon the few.
