 INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY

While in Alaska, Colonel Lester E. Jones, director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, conferred with the Canadian mem Der of the international commission for the purpose of clarifying some minor technical points in connection with the international boundary.
 Steps were taken for the place ment of powerful searchlight marking the boundary between the two countries so that fishermen might know, at night, whether they were fishing, in American or Cana dian waters.
 Such a boundary marker is con sidered desirable because restric- tions on salmon fishing are slightly different on the American side

Statement By Commissioner
 Of Fishery Henry 0'Malley
From THE PACIFIC FISHERMAN

escapement has improved since that time, but in order to build up the Chum salmon run, which shows serious depletion this year, as we'll as to prevent further depletion of the Pink salmon run, and looking entirely to the future welfare of the industry as a whole, it was deemed advisable to not permit fall fishing: namely, the season from Sept. IA to Oct. 15.
 This was further made necessary by the fact that the law provides that an escapement of 50 per cent of the salmon runs must be permit ted to reach the spawning beds On account of the unusually dry sum- mer in Alaska, all of the streams in the Southeastern district have been extremely low, and some of them entirely destitute of water. This has materially retarded the ascent of the salmon to the spawn ing beds. If fishing were further extended, it would only invite de- struction of the schools of fish stand ing outside the mouths of the streams awaiting the proper stage of water for their ascent
 I have personally covered more than 5000 miles throughout the various channels in Alaska, and a3- cended many of the streams, and the action which has been taken is based upon my own personal ob- servation of conditions as they ex- ist.
 My action has been guided in this matter wholly from the standpoint of desire to perpetuate the indus try by saving all seed possible for the future in year when the run has been failure

Fish Scientists Declares That Salmon Shortage Due To
 "Cataclysmic Upheaval

Fisheries officials are puzzled as to the cause of the small run of salmon on the Pacific Coast this year, but they have concerned them selves primarily with maintenance the future supply, accordingly to Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries, Lewis k. Radcliffe recently
 A "cataclysmic upheaval" (what- ever that means) or the ocean bot tom or some UNKNOWN DISASTER may be responsible for the depletion of the supply which was normal last year at this time, MT. Rad cliffe stated. In order to preserve enough fish for the spawning grounds, the director of the Bureau of Fisheries, Henry O'Malley, who is now in Seattle following a pro- tracted visit to the Alaskan fisheries has curtailed the season in various salmonfshing areas, according to Mr. Radcliffe.
 Mir. Radcliffe cited official reports submitted to the Bureau of Fisheries to the effect that the Pacific Coast pack of salmon as a whole to date this year, Sept. IA is only about 50 percent of that of last year, dur ing the same period.
 The total Alaskan pack as of September 1, he said was 3,397,OOOI cases, each case weighing AS, pounds. Up to August 25, 1926, the pack ran to 6,3o7,OOO cases and
The Alaskan., 1927-09-30

The salmon fisheries of Southeast ern Alaska for the season of 1927 have been a great disappointment
 In 1926 the spawning beds were well seeded. personally examined many of the streams in company with our wardens that year. This situation demonstrates the fact that the spawning areas can be well seed ed and yet the resulting runs be a failure. The case is not unlike that of the farmer who sows his crop of grain, but conditions over which he has no control prevent successful harvest
 In analysing the situation in the Cross Sound and Icy Straits district, north of 58, one finds that the Pink salmon run was far superior to the run of this species in 1925, and the fish this year are the progeny or those of 1925. This would indicate that the production of the streams in this district was much better than that of the district farther south, although the streams in both districts were equally we'll seeded in 1925. The Chum salmon, which Is a three and four year old fish, failed to appear in the usual num- bers in this district, and this is responsible for any shortage of pack in that particular area.
 The balance of Southeastern Alas ka has been a failure in both the Pink and Chum salmon runs. Dur ing the time fishing operations were being conducted, very few fish escaped to the spawning beds. Therefore, after a careful personal inspection of the beds and the con- ditions, it was deemed advisable to curtail the season in all areas. The

, it was for the whole 1926 seasor 6,653,OOO cases.
 The records ohow that the pack of pinks up to September 1 of this year was only AZ per cent of last years total, that of chums only 54 percent and that of reds 59 percent
 While all of the districts shared in the decline," one report from the field stated, ''the greatest failure was in southeastern Alaska where the estimated pack to September was but 9S5,000 cases in comparison to 3.05S,000 for the 1926 season. "
 Faces Large Losses
 Canning interests are said to be facing large losses on this seasons operation, for there are more fisher. men in the field than in any pre- vious year. Individual earnings in the industry are very small"
 Mir. Radcliffe said that as a re- suit of the small runs of salmon, grave concern has been felt that insufficient fish will reach the spawn ing grounds properly to seed the beds, with the result that when the progeny of this years class return from the sea, there will again occur a shortage of salmon.
 He said he had no thory to offer for the unexpected shortage unless it were an underwater upheaval which claimed heavy toll of fish.
