GREENWOOD CHURCH
UNITARIANS' FIRST
PLACE OF WORSHIP

On the east side Of the Kennebec
river, shilouetted prominently above
the hills. rise the heads of lofty ever
green trees. These are a familiar
sight to the people of Augusta. but
few of us realize that this natural
arbor was once a church auditorium.
Binder these trees were arranged
seats and temporary pulpit where

tor. M
Miss Helen Fuller, who passed
away only recently, was one of those
who used to attend services in this
little grove of trees.
Because of the nature of his out
door meeting place, Mr.. Judd always
called this gathering the Greenwood
Church" On the walls Of the parish
parlors of the present Unitarian
church are pictures of this earlier
Church." with three Of the old
members gathering for a service.
This incident in the history of the
Unitarian church is one of those
which will be called to remembrance
during the special services to be held
at All Souls church (Upitarian) next

there will be an address by Professor
William w. Fem, professor of the

afternoon services will have the
pleasure of greeting Mr.. Phalen. the
former minister of All Souls church,
and listening to his address on the
last decade of the history of his for

At this same service Miss Rosa
mond Conner will deliver an address
on the history of the last Is years.

FISH TRAPS OR SET NETS

We took exception to Suther- lands bill to abolish set nets along with fish traps. In reply to our objection Delegate Suther- land wrote us the following letter, which is well worth reading by fishermen.
 "To the Alaska Fisherman.
 You call my attention to the fact that H. R. 538O if enacted into law would remove set nets from the mouth of the Copper River, and my reply is that they are already removed by the reg ulations of the Department of Commerce, except that fall fishing with set nets is permitted. Dur ing the sockeye salmon run, which Is the important fishing, set nets cannot operate.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

"This bill for the abolishment of fixed fishing gear in the law of the State of California. Under the present regulation of the De- partment of Commerce there is virtually no fishing gear, EXCEPT TRAPS, permitted to operate in Alaska. Set nets have been elimin- ated in all sections of Alaska, except on Prince William Sound and even there such restrictions have been placed on set nets as to render them useless.
 THERE ARE NO RESTRICT IONS ON TRAPS ANYWHERE.
 Why should set nets be forbidden or their efficiency reduced while traps are permitted full efficiency.
 My position is that if traps are to remain then all other stationary gear should be permitted. but if set nets are prohibited then traps should also be prohibited. If the
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

efficiency of set nets is to be re- duced then the efficiency of traps should also be reduced.
 The removal of set nets at Copper River, 'Chilkat and Nushag- ak was simply discrimination against the small operator which I PROTESTED AGAINST AS VIGOROUSLY AS I COULD.
 The Department of Commerce has not the courage to remove or reduce the efficiency of the gear of the big operators.
 The bill for the abolishment of fixed gear was introduced princi pally to bring this unfair and un- just method of regulating gear practiced by the Department of Commerce, to the attention of the Committee on Merchant Ma rine and Fisheries.
 Yours sincerely.

brought to your attention in con- nection with other similar reports and resolutions of civic bodies that were filed with the sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 3rd, 1926. These reports and resolutions set forth the deplorable conditions that ob- tain in certain sections of Alaska, viz; Ketchikan and Bristol Bay.
 When I presented these reports and resolutions I had no knowledge of the contents of the Juneau report of January 27, 1926, and therefore did not include Juneau or any other Alaskan community, except the two above mentioned, in presenting records of facts to the judiciary Committee.
 "For the past four years the Grand Juries at Ketchikan, as we'll as some civic bodies have been pro- testing against the lawless condi- tions that exist in that community, by reason of the ineficiency of the officials in enforcing the laws.
 I hold that the Federal officials are just as responsible for these conditions in Ketchikan as are the municipal officials, and the Grand Jury recognizes just that situation when it recommends that vigorous steps be taken by both Federal and Municipal officials to abate these conditions.
 On September 4th, 1923, the
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

at Bristol Bay, as well as the can- nery interests there, did not use their authority and influence to render abortive the honest efforts of the Narcotic Bureau to enforce the law?
 Some of the lawyer politicians of Alaska who are straining their voices in defense of the fair name of the Territory should bear in mind that the localities in which they live have never been under criticism here in Washington. But several of those men hold legal retainers from the interests that are largely responsible for the deplorable conditions at Bristol Bay. How much more effective a few words of advice to their eli ents to correct these conditions would be than seeking the lime light in defense of these conditions under the pretense that law -abid- ing communities have been criti cised.
 During the five years that I have served in Congress I have continuously insisted Ehat these sink-holes of depravity in Alaska should be cleaned up. It is my purpose to continue insisting for the remainder of my term, and if again elected I shall follow the same policy until action is taken by the administrative powers to correct these conditions.
 Sincerely,
 Dan Sutherland.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

Grand Jury sitting at Valdez issued report on conditions in the canneries at Bristol Bay that are so revolting in it's description of the vice and depravity prevalent there that the entire report was never, to my knowledge, published. This report revealed that vice, de- pravity, and unspeakable abomina- ticns held full sway at the Bristol Bay canneries, and all this crime and depravity revolved around the large traffic in narcotics. The re- port states that there were nar- cotic addicts at all canneries, and at one cannery there were at least forty addicts.
 During the months of June and July, 1925, narcotic agent in vestigated conditions there and arrested fifteen Chinese with sup plies of narcotics in their poses sion. They were taken before the United States Commissioner to be held for the Grand Jury and he fixed their bond at $500 each Upon protest by the narcotic agent and the United States Attorney the bonds were raised to $75.O0 each. The men never appeared before the Grand Jury and it apparently was never intended that they should appear. The bonds were, of course, forfeited, and doubtless these men will return to Bristol Bay with a new supply of drugs next summer. Who will say that the arm of the Court
