WHERE IS THAT NOTABLE
 INCREASE" REPORTED 1926:

About this time last year Secre- tary Hoover reported an amazing increase" of salmon best reported in his own words:
 The notable increase in the pack even to August 25 of this year is in the face of further restrictions upon fishing by the Departments regulations, which have been deem- ed necessary for conservation pur- poses in certain places. It indicates the effectiveness of ssuch regula- tlons, the broadening in scope of which has been possible under the new Alaska fisheries act of June 6, 1924"
 The season this year shows the ineffectiveness of the regulations promulgated under the act of 1924. Practically every area wherin the resident seiner fishes, is closed On paper the fish are permitted to escape to the spawning grounds and actually all prohibitions are remov- ed from the trap system so that pro- duction and destruction are given full sway.
 The increase of the pack last year was In the face of further restric- tions, the pack this year should be also an increase and the packers prepared for such an increase but it did not materialize.
 The eagles are being killed off because they destroyed too many salmon; the seal have a bounty on them because they get awey with too many salmon; the black bear are accused of destroying too many sal mon In the creeks; the fishermen go up in the streams and take out too many seed fish. All has been eliminated by the Department of Commerce-even the fish they are protecting are gone-except the

 The Secretary of Commerce will have to look somewheres else than Alaska within the next fifteen years for salmon at the present rate of the meantime the resident fisherman and business man will hold an empty sack.

COMMON ENTERTAINMENTS
 MEN IN COMMON

The seiners started their fight against the Packers and Trap 1n- terests only when they learned that 10 longer were they permitted to earn a living They appealed to the trollers and halibutmen for sup port in a common cause without avail. The fight has been a long drawn out affair with hOnors about even before Congress.
 Last year the trollers found that they had a fight against the Blu reau of fisheries-the wanton waste and destruction of a fine food fish was taking place. Further it was destroying the allied king salmon fisheries. When the petition pro testing the use of herring for fer tilizer purposes was handed the re- sident halibut men of Petersburg, it was read with indifference.
 Today the herring for bait situa- tion is acute. Boats are laidup in the different ports for lack of bait and they know not where to turn. The depletion is due to the smoke boats" numbering over 1S0 in the Chatham Straits district alone.
 Last year more than 100000 pounds of herring were put up for fertilizer alone meaning that millions of more pounds of herring were re- quired to produce the finished pro- duct. This year just as many her ring were caught, but by more op- orators. The trollers have had to bull in their gear and lay to at an chor or run all over "Hells Half Acre. to get enough to eat. The run of salmon disappeared when the smoke wagons cleaned up the herring in Chatham Straits.
 The herring-for-bait fishermen have not been able to keep up with the demand of halibut fishermen Boats are in danger of being tied up indefinitely and their earning earning power curtailed as we'll as that of the trollers and seiners.
 Destroy any finger of the hand and the effectiveness of the other digits is mpaired-destroy the herring or salmon fisheries and all three-seining, trolling and halibut- ing is impaired.
 The hocus pocus whereby the Bureau of Fisheries will perpetuate the industry is all bunkum with a lot of ballyhooing. It is time the fishermen all faced the danger in common which confronts them.

SALMON PACK INSURANCE

There is only one way to avoid such a season as has been met by the salmon packers this season-re- duce the limit of salmon put into the cans-not raise the limit of the total packs of the several districts in the Territory.
 Destruction of the white pine forests in the United States was ac- complished when the timber barons cut down all the pine timber and did not leave enough for seed. The ruthless waste of these forests has taken away a national asset which should have been preserved by and through proper conservation meth ods to posterity.
 What has been accomplished in the way of destruction of the pine forests is taking place in other for ests and it is only matter of time when the situation in the United States will not be any better than in some of the European countries.
 The ruthless waste and destruc- ton of the salmon fisheries in Alas ka ha been decried for the past 20 years to no avail. For a number of years the Bu1ea of Fisheries went on the assumption that these fisheries could never be depleted. Under the conservation" policy of the Bureau of Fisheries thousands upon thousands of salmon-pinks, echoes and dogs-were thrown ov- CT board; later as the reds became scare the packers guaranteed pinks mot to turn red in the cans" and the once despised humpback became the backbone of the industry ill the First Division.
 With the warnings that the fish cries was facing depletion, overpro- duction continued. The June run of salmon was cleaned out Tho July run of salmon was cut down So far it no longer pays the fish erman to start his season until August. The protection enforced by the Bureau of Fisheries is only for the last run of salmon and that on ly because the packers usually by the 20th of August have their packs put up.
 In spite of these facts certain can nerymen and their "foghorns'' have the temerity to ask for an extension of the season.
 If the Bureau of Fisheries would insure the run of salmon and act as an insurance agent for the pack ing industry, it would reduce all packs and limit all fishing in all areas, regardless of whose gear af- fected. Tn other words, cutting down all pack limits until the future of the industry has been pro- tected by permitting the escape ment of salmon to the streams.
 It matters not one bit whether the limitation be placed at the en- trance of Cross Sound, Cape Chacon or any other outer entrance of the fishing areas. A closed area is of no benefit for conservation purposes ii the fish are not permitted to get to those closed areas. The closed areas designated officially as Wrangell NarroWs is of no benefit to the Ter. rltofy or fishermen. It is nothing more than a lot of bunkum for po- litical effect for the Bureau of Fish cries can point to these waters and say with pride That is closed area but the fact that no salmon to speak of go up the various streams in the Narroows is not mentioned.
