have closed throughout Alaska, with the exception of trolling and a short fall season in some parts of the Territory, MT. O'Malley said this morning.
 'It will be of interest to those who wish to fall fish now or in the future, to know that if the Bureau encounters any difficulty with seiners going into the streams to fish this fall that it is probable that the Bureau will recommend that all fall fishing be discontin- ued. The reason for this is that so many fish are destroyed that cannot be used for commercial purposes and that the effect of the closed season is destroyed" Mir. O'Malley declared.
 The districts in which fall fish ing is allowed are, the Kodiak ls- land district, Cook Inlet, and Southeastern Alaska.
 Will Go South
 MT. O'Malley will go south on the Brandt, leaving here August 24, with Secretary of Agriculture William Jardine and others in the official party.

 Fine Fishing Season
 Alaska has just passed through season in the salmon industry which will go down in history as sucess,' said Henry OMalley. U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries. With the exception of the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, where the pack is only 65 CT 70 per cent of the normal, all areas have had a good season.
 "The estimated total pack of the Territory is 5,200,000 cases. :"
 MT. O'Malley issued note of warning to the salmon trollers, before the Chamber. The Bureau, he said, has been particularly lenient with trollers, permitting them to fish almost the entire year. However, attempts are be- ing made, in many instances, to gillnet the salmon in the streams, in order to procure salmon for mild curing. If these practices do not stop it will be necessary to curtail the activities of the trollers during the seasons such practices are employed, he de- elared.

Herrino Not Depleted


 He reported scientific re- search being made of the her ring situation showed no indica- tion of depletion. The fish, con- trary to common belief, he ex- plained, is not being used as fer tilizer, but is used fir stock feed, and on the 'country's dinner table," so that it is only a ques- ton of whether the herring is used directly or indirectly as food, not question of whether it is used as food or fertilizer.
 Howevr, the Bureau will take steps to eurtail the operations Of the herring packers so the in dustry will not go too far, he said.
 "I still feel the salmon pack in Alaska is larger than the good of the industry will allow" he continued A pack of four or four and one-half million cases each year would be more in line with the long time policy which the Bureau has adopted. We plan to cut down, slowly, the present pack until it amounts to not over four and one-half mil lion cases per annum, and we hope to have the continued sup port of the people as we have had in the past"
 Favors Field Work
 Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Biological Surrey, declared he was in favor of the Alaska Game Commission being given more responsibility than it now has so that the conservation program confronting the Commission and the Biological Survey may bt mere intelligently handled from the field.
 Fur returns in the past yeal have been close to $4,000,0O0 he asserted. Sentiment in the ] Territory favors conservation and protection of the fur bearing animals, he concluded, and ex- pressed his pleasure from tht

ing received The timber in the Territory is well suited for pulp production, fer it is of the proper kind, the right size. and is in favorable situation for transpor- tation. The Department has been working to sell Alaska to the pulp manufacturer
 "The production must neces- sarily be placed in the hands of outside corporations for the cost of the installation of a pulp plant is beyond the Territory itself because of the large capital required.
 q believe it is possible to car ry on pulp development in Al aska with success in the face of competition with Canadian con cerns.
 Fishing Main Industry
 "The main industry in Alaska at the present is fishing. MT. O'Malley's work has been re- markable for he has introduced regulations successfully. has had cooperation and is winning many over to his cause. If the people of the Territory will CO., operate, have patience and keep an eye to the future MT. O'Mal- ley will build up the industry to x1o Ia fah ..1 years ago.
 As in the development of other resources, so in the timber development the situation must be handled in order to perpetuate the industry. We are encourag ing the establishment of the pulp industry on a basis that in 25 or 40 years it will be in even bet ter condition than it is today.
 q am not enthusiastic about bringing farmers into the Terri tory at the present time, because of the trouble the farmers are having of finding a market for their produce. That has been one of the big problems of the Department of Agriculture, and has caused considerable worry.
 Fur Business Important
 Producers of fur bearing ami mals have an industry which may prove as important a business as development along other lines. It seems as permanent as other stock raising.
 My trip to Alaska is in line with the policy of the Adminis- tration, to work in the field in order to have a better under standing of problems. l know a great many things about Alaska which l did not know before, and am going back to Washington with first hand information of Southeastern Alaska"
