CHUL|TNA NEWS
{ By special correspondent )

y
 Mr. Edmunds, superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission in this dis trict of Alaska, stopped over at this station week ago to inspect the new wagon road that is being built over Portage Creek. The new road is near 50 per cent complete at the present time. The new wagon bridge across Indian River was finished last week and is now in use.
 Roy and Elmer Poedeker arrived at Chulitna last week with a very large outfit and three dogs and will estab- fish main camp on the upper Forks of Portage Creek where they will trap. They plan spending the entire winter trapping and next summer expect to prospect the district Both of the men are hard rock men. Their father is sheriff at Lamar, Wyoming. During the past summer the brothers worked the greater portion of the time at Nc Kinley National Park, on the wagon road, getting a grub stake together. They have decided to stay in Alaska and make their fortune.
 The Caribou Kid arrived back in Alaska again on September II and he brought his mother and nephew with him as far as Seward. Both were very much pleased with the Territory and upon returning to their home in Ohio are going to do a lot of boosting The Caribou Kid is going to locate a home stead in the Matanuska district and settle down for life.
 Tom Dickson, foreman for the Alas ka Road Commission at Chulitna, has moved his big camp and road crew to the summit, about halfway to Portage Creek, on the new wagon road. Mr. Dickson is doing fine work and ex- poets to be through to Portage Creek by the time the big snow comes. Bryan is chief cook at the camp and a fine one at that
 
 Moose Johnson went to Anchorage on September 1 to take in the Fair. He enjoyed every minute of the time spent there. He returned to Chulitna September 13 Sam Guthrie, mine in spector for the government, came with him.
 MT. and Mrs. John Gail, who had been stationed at Canyon, Mile 269 for the last five years, left the first of the month for the big Outside. They did not say whether they were return ing or not
 H. W. Nagley, U. s. Commissioner at Talkeetna, reports everything and everyone doing we'll in the Cache Creek region, to which country Tal- keetna is the front door. gMr Nagley displayed some excellent gold nuggets, running from S10 to $40 apiece, that come from his mine holdings in the district, this summer.
 Frank Lang, brakeman on the pas senger train north of Anchorage to Healy, says he has bought a small stamp mill to put on his property in Nuka Bay. He has a fine showing at the mine.
 Harry Wertz has been bothered with rheumatism the past few days but is feeling better now. He plans to trap on Portage Creek this winter.

on the one hand that outside in vestOrs have taken enormous risks but have averaged very small per centage of profit, and on the other hand that they have. paid millions of dollars to local labor, merchants and millmen as well as huge sums into the territorial treasury. In fact no other industry has compared with the fisheries in contributing to the welfare and: prosperity of the territory.
 The fish trap, that favorable mark TOT the populistic orator, should be explained. The operators know that trap fish are more sanitary, that in certain districts the use of traps is absolutely essential to suc- cessful operation, and that from the standpoint of the public at large the prohibiting of fish traps would be inexcusable. It is also easily demonstrated that the preservation of the salmon run is a matter of re- gu'ation, not of type of gear, and that if the gear were material, traps are more easily regulated than al- most any other type. Nor is the complaint that traps are putting the local fishermen out of business we'll founded. In some districts seine fishing has become more profitable than before; in others, the traps have offered a more profitable alter native to the resident fishermen themselves. The conclusive answer to the charges is that general living conditions in Alaska have probably never been better than they now are.
 The Herring Situation
 The herring as we'll as salmon men have a case needing presenta- tion. The charge that reduction plants waste a valuable food pro- duct by turning it into fertilizer is positively false, but the public does not know that practically all herring meal is now used for food and that herring oil also goes largely into human consumption or for other high-utilitV nurnOSeS
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-11-15

clearly apparent that no intelligent study oh herring conditions had been carried out by anyone, and that to pass prohibitory legislation in the absence of greater knowledge oe the ubject would be to confiscate large amounts of property and throw many people out of. employ ment on mere unsupported guess work and prejudice.
 Theoretically, the power to regu- late the Alaska fisheries rests in Cong1 ess. The details of regula- ton have been delegated to the Bureau of Fisheries which, regard less of possible mistakes in specific instances, has on the whole done it's work we'll and conscientiously and is largely responsible for saving tile salmon from depletion. Prac- tically, however, the legislature of Alaska also had the power to regu- late the fisheries through it's almost unlimited control over taxation.
 Let the Facts Be Known
 The legislative session this spring in Juneau demonstrated that many people in Alaska are neither con- versant with the cannery business ncr with it's relation to their own prosperity. If a similar situation is to be avoided in future, the oper- aturs must take a livelier and more intelligent interest in the matter Of public opinion. They should not only continue to purchase supplies as far as practicable in Alaska, to empl y resident fishermen when available and to give their sympa- ihetic aid to the general welfare of the Territory, but they should not hide their virtues. They should let their good deeds be known. Thus criy may they hope to refute in the pub ic mind the misstatements made aocut them and create the attitude of f'iendliness to which they are entit!ed.-Pacific Fisherman.

His Fingers Crossed

In view of our personal knowl- edge of the relations existing be- tween MT. Charles Burkhardt, retir- ing president of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, and the Bureau of Fisheries and particularly the dis gust with which Burkhardt has viewed the work of the Bureau in Alaska, the following speech of O'Malley's is interesting. Our only explanation is that O'Malley had his fingers crossed.

 From Pacific Fisherman
 ] want to express publicly my ap- preciation of the close cooperation which I have had from Mr. Charles Burkhardt during his tenure of of- flee as President of the Association of Pacific Fisheries. He has come to me frequently in behalf of the members of the Association and has been sympathetic and helpful in con- nection with the regulations which have been established for the con. servatiOn of the fisheries of south eastern Alaska. I wish to. extend to him, as outgoing President, my grateful appreciation of the friendly spirit which has existed between him and the Bureau of Fisheries. I also want to express my sincere sympathy for the industry and those who have been financially embar rassed by the poor run of salmon in southeastern Alaska. I appreci- ate the spirit in which the industry has accepted the curtailment of the season.
 The recommendations which it was necessary for me to make to the Secretary of Commerce, MT. Hoover, were not arrived at hastily, but only after thorough personal investiga- tfon of all sections of southeastern Alaska. I realized fully the seri- ousness of the step which was talk ing, as I considered not only the capital investment but also the in
