The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1926-11-15

Reports have lately been re-
ceived that the fish are reach
ing in greatly increased num-
bers the spawning grounds at
the headwaters of the Fraser
and it's tributaries.
The price of sockeyes drop
ped rapidly with the heavy
catches. At the opening IS

this descreased to as cents per

Canadian Fisherman.
The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1926-11-15

C1dC the HSH Caught by Ndn-
adam fishermen are travelling
to the Fraser by an all-Can-
adam route around the north
end of Vancouver Island and
south through the Straits of
Georgia.
Thus they are not exposed
to the operations of American
fishermen like the ordinary
sockeye run which, as a re-
suit of these operations, has
been ruined.
Apparently the all-Canadian
run is reaching a size of large
commercial value as a result of
the little known work of Can
adam hatcheries. For some
years the hatcheries along the
lower sections of the Fraser
have been retaining the eggs
of fish which have been known
to travel to the Fraser only
through Canadian waters. The
fish thus reared are beginning
to return in large quantities
this year, thus accounting for
the phenomenal catch.
This development is regard
ed as extremely important as
it indicates that Canada may
yet restore the Fraser run to
at least a large part of it's
former volume. Canada alone
cannot build up the salmon
movement through the Straits
of Juan de Fuca where Amer
lean fishermen intercept it, but
through this country's present
efforts the all-Canadian run
can be developed in a big way.
The Fraser run this year as
sumed such large proportions
that canneries were unable to
handle the catches and impos-
ed a limit of 200 fish to a boat.
Some boats took as many as
500 fish in a night.
The run this year was late
and came with unusual inten-

MEXICO CITY, November %
President Wilson not only expressed
desire to come to Mexico to estab
lish Mexican Socialism constitutional
ly, Excelsior declares today. but he
can be considered the real author of
article 81 Of the Mexican constitu-
ton, against which the America
State Department has made repre-.
sentations.
These declarations are made in an
editorial replying to Washington dis
patches saving that the State De
partment records contained no state
ment by Mr.. Wilson that he wished
to see a Socialist republic in Mexico,
as asserted by Excelsior in an aditorial
Saturday.
Wilson Is Quoted.
On May "a, 1914. Excelsior says. the
Saturday Evening Post printed an In
terview with Mr.. Wilson. in which
he made several statements regarding
Mexico, and which was used by Car
los Pereyra in his book: Wilson

tion. the paper says Mr.. Wilson de-
clared: "Mexico's fight has been a
fisht for land: consequently we are
going to settle the agrarian question,
following by example the steps of
New Zealand"
The paper asserts that in New Zea-
land all laws regarding land owner
ship are contained within sociallstic
formula, limiting not only the
amount of land an individual can
own. but also the time of ownership
through a renewable lease. This, It
