On Waste of Salmon

It appears to the Grand Conven- tiOn of the Alaska Native Brother hood representing sixteen towns of southeastern Alaska. that because of the location of he present dead line in Hetta Inlet, there is a great waste of commercial fish, condi- tior which result: in unnecessary hardship to the fishermen around the south end of West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, particularly the native people of Hydaburg,
 We contend that the interests of conservation of the future runs of salmon will be fully served if the dead line be changed to conform as follows, to-wit: that the line be placed at the entrance of Hetta Bay Ca sockeye stream), Deer Bay, a humpy stream, and at a poi1fs south cf Gould Island.
 Adopted by the Grand Convention of the Alahka Native Brotherhood at Sltka, Alaska, on the 24th day of November, 1928, on the motion of the local camp of Hydaburg.
 It is ordered that copy of this request be sent to the Secretary of Commerce, the Bureau of Fisheries and to Delegate Sutherland.

Trapping Regulations

Whereas it has come to our at- tention that many white trappers in southeastern Alaska are trapping before the' trapping season has be- gun under our laws and
 Whereas this evil will be avoid largely by the refusal of the Alaska Game Commission to issue trappers licenses before the legal se9son for trapping arrives, and
 Whereas there is no place in southeastera Alaska where any hardship wilt be imposed on trap pers by this limitation since the hunting areas in tnis district are within easy reach of the water,
 Therefore be it resolved that the AlqsHa Gam. Commission be re- quested to withhold all trapper's li- censos until the da,e when it would be lawful to begin trapping, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of Agricul- ture, the members of the Alaska Game Confusion and to Delegate Dan Sutherland

Timber Steal Is
 COnSurnated

The sale Of 775,OOO feet b.m. of spruce and western hemlock sawtim- Der and 19O, LOO lineal feet of piling tiber, to Sawyer & Reynolds Com pany was announced today by the U. Forest Service. The sawtim- ber is largol: for delivery to the Juneau Lumber Mills and the piling for local canneries to be delivered next spring.
 Cutting has already started on the tract which compr ses 1O2 acres near Rake. A cafp has been estab- lisled there for several weeks and about 20 men are employed on the job Exchange
 THE FACTS OF THE STEAL
 Early last fall two tracts of tim Der in the immediate vicinity of Rake were advertised for sale by the Forestry agerts. One small patch of timber on an island and the other just north of Kake-both areas designated as one sale. On the strength of th.s description the  HuI5erford Brothers, of Petersburg, sent in for bid forms and definite description oi timber areas. This was given. They sent in bid forms comDlete immediately and before areas three and four had been prop erly advertised So that there was TO mistake as to their intention to bid on areas one and two
 The first stink cf something rot ten in the Forestry Department of Alaska came Then question was rais- ed IS to the financial rating and ability of the Hungerfords to com plete their contract-even after a deposit had been made on the bids Distractions to properly place the tim mber in the hands of Hungerfords, whose bid was $500 or more better than Sawyer -Reyn,lds. The agents of the Forestry Department then be- gan to cuibble and declare adyertis- ing at fault and re-advertised all of the areas for sale in order that Sawyer-Reynolds outfit might get tho timber. The above clipping is the end of the story of the chicanery and double dealing from stacked decks by Messrs Flory, Teller and Heirtzleman, tails of the combine which are perpetEating the greatest steal of resources in Alaska The deal handed the HUngerford Broth CTS is petty larceny as compared to what one day will be shown as com pairing to the oil scandals of Wyom- ing.

Says Whale
 Drive Herring

Neorge A. Rounsfell, junior aq~ uatic LiologHt of the United States bureau of fisheries, in very inter- esttAs article on Alaska herring, de. claring that there IS no proof of the oft repeated assertion that whales drive in the herring from the ocean, 2no showing that herring reach at least 20 years of age, has the follow. ing to say about their spawning habits:
 The Pacific herring spawn only in shallow water, between tide lines, attaching their eggs to plants, etc. No evidence has ever been adduced 10 indicate that the Pacific herring ever spawn i2 the open sea as do the European herring.
 According to our observations and those of several orher biologists, ali mature herring spawn inshore, all the way from San Diego to St. Mich nael If the Pacific herring actual ly sDaWn ned in the deeper waters We IwouId have evidence of the fact. Tn Europe, where the herring do spawn in deep water, there are many ways of detecting 1t, as noting the spawn in the stomach of fishes, the cling ing of the eggs to anchore lines, etc
 In Europe some herring popula tions spawn in the spring, others in the fall; but the Pacific herring has only one spawning season each year, which in Southeastern Alaska occurs in March anu April.
 Fish Egg Island, near Craig, and Sitka Sound are two of the few places where they are known to spawn annually in any abundance ! Thr spawning ground near Juneau, including the north end of Douglas island, Cogllan island, Auke and Tee harbors and parts of Stephen Passage, was once oue of the largest hllt has greatly dpcIiDAd
 There also are many minor spawn ing grounds such as Kootznahoo In- let. Fort Fredrick and other places. During the spawning season all adult herring come into shallow water where they are easily observ- ed The fact that there are so few plares where the herring spawn in large numbers shows that there can not be any vast quantities of herring.
 Many are under the impression thG5 various larger fishes as sal men, haIibut and cod depend almost altogether on herring as their food and would starve if the herring should fail. Ihis does not appear to be the case, however, for these larger fish eat about as great variety as do the herring, and it is difficult to understand why the pre- senoc Or absence of one portion of their diet should affect them so pro- four lily.
 In the case Of the halibut MT. w. F. Thompson states that although in his first publications he had listed occasional herring among the food of the halibut, observations since have convinced him that almost all such observed were taits from hooks For definite study of foods of the spring and coho salmon, some ex- pert in that line must be consulted. It is safe to say that the actual abun dance of the large fishes depends very slightly indeed on the abun- dance of herring, put rather on roany other causes, -Ketchikan Chronicle.
