JUNEAU CHAMBER PLAYS TRUE
 TO FORM

Attorneys For Herring Packers Still Dominate Juneau Chamber of
 Commerce
 And Refuse Endorsement Petersburg Protest Against Herring Ferti-
 hzer Plants
 Along about 1913, Dr. Everman, then with the Bureau of Fisheries recommended that the use of her. ring for fertilizer be PROHIBITED on the ground that such use would exterminate the herring. He advis- ed IMMEDIATE action on the ground that since there was but ONE fertilizer plant in operation, such action would not be opposed by strong political force, whereas if action were deferred until there were MANY plants, such a closing order would be very difficult if not IMPOSSIBLE.
 The time of depletion has arrived. Herring are gone from many areas.
 There are many plants in opera tion with great political strength Far sighted business men thru Chambers of Commerce in Peters- burg, Wrangell and Ketchikan, ex- pert fishermen in Klawock, Hyda- burg and Sitka are DEMANDING the prohibition of fertilizer plants for the very same reason that Dr. Everman advised it.
 The matter at last came before the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, body long suspected to be under the domination of cannery lawyers and BUREAUCRATS.
 Bearing in mind that this same body advocated an "off1cial investi- gation by the Bureau of Fisheries in 1925, their recent action as re- ported in the Juneau Empire is en- Tightening, and undoubtedly has the approval of even Tom Gaffney of Nome.
 The report follows:
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-11-15

After detailed discussion of general phases of the herring bait situation today, the Chamber of Commerce by a unanimous vote adopted a resolution urging a sci entific investigation of the herring question by the U. s. Bureau of Fish cries. The resolution, which was drafted by the Executive Commit tee, was substituted for one adopted several weeks ago by the Petersburg Commercial Club and forwarded here for action.
 While discussion developed there were several members who favored adoption of the Petersburg pro- gram, after comparison of the two resolutions, it was agreed that the local program probably was best fitted to the situation and the vote for it's adoption was without dis sent.
 Gives Matter Study
 Reciting that the attention of the Chamber had been called by the Petersburg Commercial Club to "the imminent danger to the halibut and salmon industry arising from the use of herring in the manufacture of fertilizer and oil," the resolution adopted said: "This matter has been

Accompanied by terrific electric dis
.turbances a cloud burst of torrential
proportions struck Douglas shortly
after six o'clock last evening and for
half an hour the rain fell in sheets
and torrents mixed with large hail
stones.
Water ran many feet deep at the
cutbs and spread in the business dis
trict over the middle of the inter-
sections so great was the flow. The
large water tunnels under the cross
ings could not carry it off.
At the height of the storm the wires
connecting this city with the outside

without telephone communication for
more than an hour. Linemen were
rushed out, however, and normal serv-
ice was resumed in remarkably
short time. 4q ffs

remain in Rapid City to keep the

AS the presidential special passes
northward through Wyoming, Mr.. and
Mrs. Coolidge plan to greet people who
come to the station where operating
stops are made but there will be no
formal stops nor does the president
expect to speak at any place during
his absence from the Black Hills.
Preparations are under way for re-

Mont, but these will be brief.
Entering the park at the northern
entrance, President Coolidge will prog

depart probably from Cody, Wyo. The
whole trip, however, is designed flex-
IDLY so Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge may stop
where and when they please. It is
likely that if the president finds a
location particularly pleasing, he will
stay for several days, making short
fishing, riding and walking expedi-
tions as fancy strikes him.
