"CATACYLSMIC UPHEAVAL'

The failure of the salmon to run in Alaskan waters according to swivel chair experts, the Bureau of Fisheries and the Fish Barons of Portland, San Francisco and Chicago. was due to "eXtreme lateness of the run," extreme dry season." Hack of southeasterly winds" "too much westerly and southwesterly winds, :" too much fishing in creeks by sein- ers,' and what not. It takes a scientists to tell resident Alaskan5 the scientific cause of depletion not ed in practically all areas in Alaska cataclysmic upheaval under wat er."
 There has been a cataclysmic up- heaval under water all right It is a wonder that the Bogoslav erup- tion has not been blamed for it; it is wonder that peculiar sulphur dust On the streets, probably due to volcanic action" this spring was not blamed for it. Said dust being the pollen from spruce trees. It is a wonder that the Mississippi floods have not been blamed for the short age of salmon in the Boring Sea and the shortage in southeast Alaska to the upheavals in Japan. They all have about the same effect on the fisheries of Alaska to the lay-mind of resident fishermen.
 The upheaval was noted and which is beyond the understanding of Doctor Radcliffe, has been going on for many years It went on when the packing combine put th9ir fences across the salmon streams
  with fences and later with their big traps and also with the assistance of seiners who were instructed to get the fish regardless of where they were gotten;" it began with the dumping of thousands of pinks. dogs and echoes because they were too cheap to pack" and only the reds" were desired It continued with the increasing percentage of trap gear in spite of the warnings to the industry by local fishermen. The upheaval was greater under the direction of the great Herbert Hoov- CT who limited the pack of a can- nery from 17,OOO to 5O,O0O and from 25,000 to 75,0OO cases. The upheaval under water was the rel suit of the too intensive fishing and over production at the cost of seed fish which did not escape to spawn- ing grounds.

The Whisperings of the Wind
By AHN-I[UTTY

Have. you heard them, those soft murmurs of gOssipy zephyrs floating up and down our streets and play ing airy tag in the alleys? No? We'll, there's a rumor on these windy currents that Petersburg de- sires to sell it's electric light plant. poles and power, wire and water. T hadn't heard" you say. Probab- ly it wasn't meant that you should hear-too soon.
 Anyway, that's the dope It's be- ing developed CD you know What do you think about it? What do we think about it? We think there's big brunette in the woodpiIe Who so secretly originated this bit of horse dream We don't know, but al ready the idea has it's yes-men.
 There's something mighty odd about it too. How does it come that a private organization knew there was a possible chance to buy the plant. It must have come from city official for capitalists don't pay attention to hints of private citizens unless they are quite sure the official is speaking through them, and a city official sHeaking thusly is a traitor. And a private outfit does know that a sale is be- ing worked up for they had rep resertatives before the Council al ready and ask for, and were given, permission to take an inventory of the Citys electric holdings and to submit engineering advice as to it's probably worth as a financial un- dertaking.
 It appears that what is yours, and mine, doesn't belong to us at all. but to a few-some elected, some self-appo pointed-guardians who want to shuffe off what they haven't the ability to manage
 We know, of course, that Peters, burg was stung in dozen different places in the construction if it's light and power project. Much of this stinging came through ignorance of too many bosses, political sewer 1 digging and incompetent manage ment However, other municipal l ities have suffered through this trinity, but they did bit of house cleaning and made their lights and power pay They didn't whine about | an uphill drag and sneak in buyers to ease the load.
 There's considerable, in the af-t fairs. of our light and power that call for an airing, but to even hint at making transfer to outside! buyers is an open admission of al lack of understanding and incom- potency.

WILL O'MALLY MAKE GOOD

Henry O'Malley, fisheries czar, has announced his intention to curtail the use of traps. We do not be- lieve he has the courage to do so if his friends and sponsors, the pack CTS, do not want it that way.
 It is very interesting to compare Delegate Sutherlands position on the trap question several years ago. with that of O'Malley today as heI expressed himself to the Ketchikan Chronicle "In certain sections of Southeastern Alaska, especially south of the 5Sth parallel of north latitude there has been a great in- crease in gear and at present it is my intention to more widely space this gear, TO CLOSE CERTAIN BAYS AND ESTUARIES TO TRAPS AND TO ELIMINATE TRAPS FROM POINTS WITHOUT THESE WAT ERS."
 Here is what Sutherland advocat- ed five years ago on the floor of the House of Representatives
 That it shall be unlawful to drive, construct, or set, or fish with any fixed or floating traps, weir, or pound net in any bay, inlet, or estuary in Alaska, the mouth of which at its entrance is B miles or less in width, or within any chan. mel or passage connecting larger bodies of water where the width of such channel or passage is 3 miles or less, or within 1 mile of the entrance to any bay, inlet or estuary which is two miles or less in width at it's entrance of within 1 mile of the mouth of any stream up which salmon are accustomed to run"
 It takes only few years to vim dicate practical men in their con- tentions with the canners and O'Malley. Men like Sutherland have much better knowledge of their subject than O'Malley has, Such men have made close study of the economics of the industry but of course such men believe that the fisheries should be regulated in the interest of those who are engaged in fishing. OMalley and Hoover believe that the regulations should be entirely for the benefit of those men who manufacture fish.
 Sutherland's proposal was a com promise which O'Malley now in- dorses and wants to adopt He will not adopt it unless the salmon packers who made his commissioner of fisheries are willing That pro- posal will probably be adopted some day when there is no other way out for O'Malley and the packers and
 
 Sutherland's proposal was com. promise at the time but Bourbon capitalists and their bureau tools never compromise. Let us now watch O'Malley in his new under taking and see what comes of it History is now repeating itself and We in Alaska are now passing thru that stage that has been experienc- ed in all other countries. When the fish supply has been almost des- troyed by the avarice of favored ones a change in methods of fish ing becomes necessary and then the people come into their rights. We feel that O'Malley's efforts to re- duee trap fishing will be more interesting thing than trans oceanic airplane flight, a pugilistic championship fight or world series base ball game.
