packing and wanton waste of this food fish continues there is plenty evidence of depletion.
 It is quite possible that the Am erican Consul to Norway does not know as much about herring as Mr. Johnson, but his evidence of depletion due to reckless fishing Is matter of official record in the archives of Norway as we'll as the United States. The Department of Commerce, Food stuff Division is- sued a series of trade notes last fall which declared in no uncertain terms that the fisherie3 of the North Sea were being threatend with de- struction by said reckless fishing"
 Johnson does not get the import of my reference. Everything being eqaul as to food value sardine and herring it is just as wasteful to de- stroy herring as sardine. The waste fiI practices in the sardine industry were removed by decision of the Su- preme Court of California. The Court did not consider whether or not the packers were making or losing money-the point at issue was Is too much, good foodf1sh be- ing destroyed. And that is the issue in Alaska.
 I cannot feature herring oil as a popular food after going through the various canneries and seing the filthy, unsanitary manner in which they are put up with slime turning green and live maggots crawling on the fish and floors. Make good raint oil and no doubt w. P. Full Ter gets the most of that fine food oil.
 When he states that the herring fishermen operating for the packers do not pond their fish he is telling a mistake. Who had that pond at Whale Bay, Baranoff Island two yers ago when dead herring float ed out the bay by the several thou. sand barrels? If these fishermen do, not destroy herring tell us who caused the destruction of the mill lions of herring at Larch Bay in 1924 when dead herring foated out of the bay bp the hundreds of thou sands awing to the destructive man. ner of Aeining them. Will MT. John son ask fo "a Federal investigation of these statements? I will be glad to furnish him hundred or two or even three hundred witnesses to these destructive practices. I will furnish many witnsses to the fact that the packing of these food fish is but a fraud in that only enough send thousands of barrels through for fertilizer and oil to the few hundred of cases that they put up.

The Third Annual Meeting of the Alaska Game commission closed on January 26, after having been in session fourteen days. The full lembership of the Commission was present until the 18th when pr. Chase of the Third Division was called home to Cordova.
 During the session careful conisd- eration was given to large num- Der of written and verbal suggestion and constructive criticism propos- ing changes Or continuing in effect game, fur and birds in the Terri tory.
 The Commission does not deem it advisable to announce at this time detailed changes which it is propos- ing for the reason that announce nent of proposed changeswould be misleading without the full text of the regulations and act at hand Therefore, no announcement of de- tailed changes will appear until the regulations are published in revised form about April 1.
 For Southeastern Alaska no ma terial changes have been proposed, is being found after careful consid- eratlon of written suggestions re- ceived and personal hearings hedl during the meeting that the existing regulations appear to meet fairly well the game and fur conditions as found in this particular section. Any slight changes which have been proposed for other parts of the Ter ritory have been primarily to bring into harmony open. and closed sea- sons as we'll as to adjust certain trapping seasons to meet climatic conditions. The aim of the Com mission is to make the least pos sible number of changes, and those which are being proposed are designed to assist in the production of better quality of furs and will also facilitate obtaining game meat V hen it is in the best condition.
 Further attention was given to the problem of stocking certain lands in Alaska with valuable fur bearing and game animals. It is announced that excellent progress, especially in the Prince William Sound and Kodiak-Afognac Island sections, has been made under the appropriations by the Territorial Legislature and the Commission ex- poets during the present calendar year to complete work within the limits of funds appropriated.

ALASKA GAME COMMISSION
 MAKES REPOR1 ITS WORK

Istocking of lands with fur bearing animals is like making dollars grow where dollars have not before grown and is virtually establishing g gigantic public fur farm.
 They announce that reports have heen received from various parts of the Territory which indicate serious increase in wolves and coyotes and that a very insistent demand has arisen for the inauguration of pre- dltory animal control measures which have been used with such ex- cellent success in the States. The Commission does not at this time have funds available for the pre- datory animal control work but it is taking up the matter up with the Secretary of Agriculture in an effort to obtain funds for the inauguration of this work in Alaska.
 The reports On migratory water fowl indicate that there has been no material decrease in their num- her during the past year. Some local bureaus report more than the usual number, geese being especially plentiful in certain sections.
 The caribou herds north of the A1aska range are gradually increas- ing until at the preesnt time there is bountiful supply for use of the residents of that section of Alaska. Moose are gradually on the -in- crease, especially north of the Alas ka range, and are holding their own Or showing a slight increase in the Kenai re-rton where hunting has been more intensive during the past two years.
 . There has apparently been slight decrease in the number of fur-bearing animals taken during the past year which, no doubt, is due somewhat to the shortening of the trapping seasons, but on the other hand the pelt value is equal to or slightly greater than in form Ter years.
 The Commission appreciates the hearty interest which Alaskans are showing in the wild life protection and the support received from the public in the administration of the laska Game Law and Regulations. The Commission announces that it's policy is that of seeking coopera- ton and support of the people in this work, for they state they are merely the custodians for the people of Alaska fthe public wild life of the Territory.

 Dear Sir:
 MT. Johnson, more generally known as The Herring has replied to my letter of recent date, but he sent his reply to Ketchikan for the Chronicle to print. Was the Press afraid to publish it after inviting tho controversey or was it for some other reason. Any way, I would not have known a thing about it if someone had not sent me a clip ping of the article.
 Herring Johnson had a reputa- ton as quite an authority on her. II. but since reading the article I have como to the conclusion that it was only reputation that he has. He shows himself as being very ig- rorant of the most fundamental phases of the herring industry.
 First he goes to some length to state that Norway has been pack ing herring for thousands of years. The first salt herring packed was by the Dutch in 1416 and not until after this date did the Norwegian salt his herring in commercial quan- tiry. So the intensive methods of destruction now in vogue were not known many thousands of years ago."
 Speaking of the number employ ed by the packers-912 persons is the number given in 1924 the latest data I could secure with my limit ed means. If the Pacific Fisher man is prejudiced in our favor then they must have just gotten religion for their bread and butter is furn- ished by the packers.
 MT. Johnson states that "the trouble with the fisherman is, few if any, have ever kept track of what has gone in the world regarding fisheries. True enough--that's why we have the problem of depletion today. When the fisherman began 60 awaken to what was going on in the industry, he started to demand that it stop.
 He has said that herring spawn after one year and continue to do so until they die. The Norwegian in vestigators of herring tell us that herring do not spawn until after they have passed the fifth year and the. continue to spawn until they are 13 when they die. Gan MT. Johnson show otherwise?
 Why don't I mention the Prince William Sound Pack? The press last fall told of the failure of the entire pack in that district What norc comment should I make Ev- cry where, where the intensive
