What Henry L-]I
 0'Malley Said

On August 24th at Juneau, Henry O'Malley, who holds the destinies of Alaska in his hands, said;
 Il have recommended that the season for fall fishing from Septem- Der IA to October 15 be closed, be- cause up to the present time no large bodies of fish have shown up in the streams of Southeastern AL aska, and the streams are remain ing extremely low. Consequently, if fishing were conducted, pink and chum salmon awaiting to enter the streams to spawn would be captur- ed and leave the spawning beds in a serious condition, further jeojard- izing future runs.
 Trolling is to be permitted thru out Alaska, which will permit the taking of silver salmon for mild
  curing. Gill netting will be per mitted north of the fifty-eighth parallel, as the escapement has been more favorable in that section. There is no change in the Stikine river district"
 Just before leaving Seattle to in- spect the fisheries of Oregon and California, he again said
 There will be no fall fishing ex- cept by trolling south of the fifty eighth parallel, and gill net fishing only north of there. This is only for fresh fish and mild cure, and will be of no benefit to the pack ers," MT. O'Malley explained before departing for the south.
 At Juneau on August End, he said drastic gear regulations are under consideration for Southeastern AL aska. with possible alterations in fishing periods, for 1928 was indi- cated today by Henry O'Malley, U. s. Commissioner of Fisheries in a brief statement to tho press. Such changes, he declared, are consider
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-10-15

Ut is a crime, one that will be regretted later, that this country is allowing herring to be used for ferti~ lizer: a food fish that will in time be as valuable to Alaska as our sal- mon fishing has been. More ferti- lizer plants are going in every year and making huge profits on using up 8 good fish for making fertilizer. This should be stopped immediate ly regardless of who 1t hurts.''
 The speaker was J. R. Hickman, banker, packer, merchant and pro- perty owner, who has spent the greater part of his life in the fish ing and canning industry.
 He also speaks as one who is now interested in a cannery which operates a fertilizer plant.
 If this industry for the use of fertilizer is stopped before it is too late," he continued, "some of us will live to see herring one of our largest industries in Alaska. Thirty years ago you could not sell thou sand cases of pink salmon in the world: today we sell millions. The

 GREAT GEAR INCREASE
 ''In certain sections of Southeast ern Alaska, especially south of the 5Sth parallel of north latitude, there has been a great increase in gear, and at present it 1s my intsn- tion to more widely space this gear, ! to close certain bays and estuaries ito TRAPS and to eliminate traps from points without these waters Traps so located in many instances during the current year have pre- vented the fish from entering the streams. If we are going to safe- guard the industry it is evident that the gear must be reduced" said the Commissioners statement. > STUDY TRAP CATCHES
 No decision will be made regard ing the seasonal dates in South eastern Alaska for the present. In this connection the Commissioner statement said:
 At present, so far as the seasons are concerned, nothing definite can be announced. Before any decision will be made, the Bureau of Fish cries must secure data on trap catches in various districts for a number of years passed. It will check them against conditions now existing to determine whether tho present closing dates are properly fixed and effective in safeguarding runs for future spawning purposes.
 On August 3Oth at Seattle, O'Mal- ley said;
 "I have no doubt that if we did reopen the season a number of packers would be able to save them selves, but it would be at the ex- pense of the salmon industry in years to come, and that could not countenance.
 "The departments principal in terest is in the perpetuity of the salmon industry. To protect it this season it must remain closed. We know many operators suffered ter
