the necessity of greater spaces be- tween traps, but if anyone can form ulate a better method than this which I have in mind, I shall be glad to receive it and give it consid- eration. Any method suggested by anyone in or out of the industry must make for the reduction of gear. Otherwise it will have no considera tion.
 The early closure of the season this year overcomes in part the sharp increase of gear which has been put into the water since last season and could not be foreseen when the regulations were prepared last December. You will appreci- ate that my acticn in curtailing tho season was necessary in order to comply with the White Fisheries Act passed in 1924, which provides for a 50 per cent escapement as far as practicable to all spawning areas. If I had failed to act and attempt to secure such escapement, I should have been unfaithful to my trust

A Letter From The Superior Pack

 Tenakee, Alaska
 July 30, 1927 MT. William L. Paul Atty. at Law
 Ketchikan, Alaska. Deer Sir:
 l am writing on behalf of some thirty-five or forty native fishermen fishing for us here at Tenakee h. let. These men have in previous years always caught from thirty to fifty thousand fish to the boat per year and thereby made a fair sub stantial sum to live on.
 I understand that there has been considerable talk among the cannery men, trap men and seiners to try and get the fishing season extended owing to the extremely late run of salmon. Personally think it would be profitable for everyone concerned if you would take this up with the

 arrives in Juneau or Ketchikan which I understand is within very few days. Lay the cards on the table, explain the situation thoroughly as it is and am sure that he would consider either to ex- tend the season seven or eight days or open up earlier for the fall run.
 Speaking of Icy and Chatham Straits districts the fish has just started to show up but it looks very much as if the seines will not be able to do anything before the close of the season as they are not in DO. sition to catch the fish until they head for shore. As explained to me by the old reliable fishermen the run here this year is about twenty to twenty-five days late as far as the escapement is concerned it would not hurt the least to have the season extended as the escape ment will be better owing to the abundance of fish now standing in deep water in the middle of the straits.
 I think therefore that the Com- missioner of Fisheries will readily see that an extension would be bene- fcial to cannery men and fishermen and the escapement of salmon as we'll as over crowded spawning streams have not proven beneficial at all.
 Talking from the fishermen point of view they really will be in a bad fix as they owe considerable money both to the canning companys and local merchants. These men have never complained at all in previous years as they have always been able to catch a fair amount of salmon but owing to the extremely lateness of this season they feel that eith- CT an extension or earlier opening up of the fall season should be granted.
 I presume that others have taken this up with you and I sincerely hope that something along these

on the salmon runs for livlihood
 We have had a trying season, es- pechlly in the district south of 52. We know that in 1925 the spawn ing beds in southeastern Alaska were we'll seeded with pink salmon. This is two-year cycle fish, but they failed to return this year. The same condition obtains in British Columbia, where the run of pink salmon Is also extremely short.
 The failure of this year has no bearing on the run for next year, but will have on the return of this cycle for pink salmon, which is 1929. There have been many con- fiicting reports regarding the extent of the seeding of the spawning beds since the closed season was put into effect. We have five boats operat- ing in southeastern Alaska and our men are covering all spawning areas as thoroughly as possible Know ing that the packers and fishermeE E were as deeply interested in the spawning-bed condition as is the Bureau, have suggested to the .n- dustry that they place men on cur boats to examine spawning beds iii conjunction with our men so that their observations may be coordin- ated.
 The gear in southeastern Alaska this year has no bearing on the fa..- ure of the run this season, but, mad there been a large run, it would have had it's effect. I have staied many times to individual trap owu- CTS and others that IF EACH TRAP i'm southeastern Alaska had caught 39,OOO fish this year there would not have been canneries or people enough in southeastern Alaska to have put up the pack. From ny personal observations know nat only limited quantity of fish reached the spawning beds prior to the closing of the season. I am de- termined that there shall be a sharp reduction in the amount of gear in southeastern Alsaka for the next season. I have not been arbitrary

FAVOR Funeral
LIGHT PLAN

Use OF automobile headlights to
designate the vehicles that form
funeral corteges In the District,
proposed - an amendment to the
local traffic code. ID favored gen.
orally IL expressions OF motorists
are to be taken as a criterion.
The proposal. which now is
awaiting action OF the District Com.
mlssioners. II declared to offer q
solution Of one Of the most puzzIing
conditions OF traffic.
Funeral professions have the
right of way over other vehicles
under the present traffic code, It
Is pointed out, but because Of the
difficulty OF determining where
the cortege begins and ends It
frequently happens that the regula-
ton unintentionaIly Is broken.
It Is not a lack Of respect that
impels q motorist to drive through
the line Of cars that make up the
funeral cortege, in the opinion Of
Walter A. GaWler, prominent Wash.
ington Tnortician, and author Of the
recommended change in the local
regulations.
This action, he believes, is
traceabIe in virtually every in
stance to the average motorists
inability to. distinguish the NOR.
tician's cars from any others.
The proposed amendment to the
local traffic regulations would
authorize the burning Of head
lights by cars making up the
cortege. This, It is pointed out,
would clearly designate the cars as
belonging to the funeral procession
and assure them the right Of way
over other traffic.
