Herring Patrol

The Bureau of Fisheries for the first time in its history has put pa- trOl boat in the herring district The Valkyrie, Capt Wood, has been given the charter, and John Mo Laughlin will be in charge as spe- cial warden. They will remain in the field the rest of the summer.
 The Southeastern Alaska herring district covers the lower Chatham Strait around Cape Ommaney and outside of Baranof Island.
 It is hoped that in this way, the charges of waste will be stopped, and useful information obtained. especially as it relates to the effect the unlimited use of herring for fer tilizer has on the supply of herring. This bit of news just released to the press within a very short time was "old stuff" to the packers for it was ''told confdentially more than two months ago that the Bu- reau of Fisheries was going to con- | duct investigations in the herring | industry this summer" In other words the Packers were advised that owing to the noise put up by Alaskans about the depletion of their fisheries, they (the Bureau)
