CARBON MONOXID

The death of a fine young

"Gas poisoning" makes it i'm

The deadly carbon monixid

one of the greatest dangers to

It kills before you notice it.
You can neither see nor smell
it.

gas is and how it works.

that the exhaust fumes from

ponding of fish allowed over
the closed period. The bureau
of fisheries granted trapowners
SO hours in which to clear
their pots and spillers; seiners
should have the same privilege.
In reality a trap has only
twelve hour closed period while
a seiner has forty-eight hours.
The law should strictly stip-
ulate all traps as we'll as
seines to be empty at the be-
ginning of each closing period
and traps must be brailed every
twenty-four hours.
In place of stream wardens
there should be an inspector at
every cannery to see that no
cannery puts up any bad fish
as is their habit at present. An
other habit of the larger oper-
ators especially during the
pink salmon run to send out
seiners (when traps slacken
their catching powers) to
scrape the creeks of any fish
that might be there and when
a howl comes they blame the
fishermen; with an Inspector
at the cannery he will discour-
age any attempts of canning
putrid fish. This will force
the operators to except only
fresh fish and in turn the fish
ermen will naturally be more
careful and take pains in hav-
ing only fresh fish on hand.
There are three traps in
Prince William Sound that
should positively be closed
from fishing entirely as they
will be the direct cause of the
depletion of the pink salmon
that in time will come. These
traps are directly in front of
spawning streams; not only
that, two of the traps are not
