NEW ROAD HEAD HAS IDEAS OF
 POPULATING ALASKA

ColoneI Otto F. Ohlson, genera 'menuger of the Alaska Railroad has "a plan of colonizing Alaska to in crease revenues of the railways.
 Colonization just as the trans continental railways colonized the western country is the next step in Aiaska's development" he stated just before leaving for Alaska.
 Alaska has much to offer the per- manent settler and the railroad goes through the heart of some of tn } best country. feel that settlement and intensive development of re- sources constitute the desireable step in making the Alaska railway self sustaining and for the upbuilding of the northern territory on a per- and substantial basis.
 l am beginning a survey .a which to base my recommendation and it will be necessary that special appropriations be made in case the program evolved is endorrod by the department of the interior.

OBSERVATIONS OF ALAsKANs

Rasmus Enge, of Petersburg, one
 of the first to enter the herring fish
 cries for commercial markets made these same observations several years ago and pointed to the deple tion of local stock in Wrangelt Narrows, Port HDughton, Caro FaHShaw and other bays in the inn mediate vicinity of Petersburg. The waters in this locality used to teem with herring suitable for the tas of the best markets but no longer can this be said so that the herring operators have discontinued their operations altogether.
 That herring in Alaska are mi gratory has never been admitted Hy Alaskans. It has been emphasized
 too strongly that intensive fishing depletes any given waters. A few years ago a small school of herring entered Hamilton Bay, near Rex Pass. These increased from y2@r
 to year until herring fishermen made set and took out some three thol- sand barrels of the fish Since that
 time herring have not entered that bay. Proving conclusively that the specie were purely local, and when
 a given locality is cleaned out the fishery is destroyed
 The same holds true of Chatham
 Straits and Frederick Sound areas.
 The intensive fishing for "Crfsco base (with apologies for Henry IC'Malley) the IT reduction plants in those waters have cleaned out these aeras. Taking 12,O00,000 pounds
 of fish meal and fertilizer and 4,000, l 900 pounds of fish oil out mears too heavy a drain on that area. Tie result of which are that dividen Is are not becoming as poor as the fisheries itself But for Noyes Island and Lynn Canal the most of the plants would have been compelled to shut down their plants i this summer.
 Depletion is a fact regardless Of how much the Bureau of Fisheries may attempt to show otherwise But a few years more and the mi gratory herring fishermen and stink
 plants will be gone Alaskans hold
 ing the empty sack as usual, thanks
 to Henry O'Malley's conservation methods.

More on observations

along the immediate coast)
 Tt is obvious that in Alaska each locality is dependent 4on it's own stocAs of herring for it's supply. Scarcity or abundance of herring ir any particular area will not de- pend then on the cratic migrations of any great hypothetical body of herring, but on the condition of the local supply"

Maine, the national political ba- rometor, according to political prog nosticators of that State, is point ing to a Republican victory.
 A significant thing about the U. S Bureau of Fisheries, and most federal bureaus, is that they never recognize danger signs until depIa- ton has become an accomplished fact. Then they try to show the world wonderful results in bring ing back what they would not have lost did they display an ounce of common sense. E

 The director and staff have from time to time presented reports on tCe progress of the investigation an0 on their findings to the commission and to the scientific council These findings are used in the formulation of the present recommendations The scientific results are, however nol inserted in this report, but will pa published later in more detailed form than is practicable here.
 The task with which the commis sion found itself to be charged is one of great magnitude and difficulty The fishery covers coast line of about 1,S00 miles in length. Th1 halibut can only be studied at sea "Id under difficult conditions.
 Hence it has not been possible in !tEe three years during which the e. mission has been at work to cove, the whole field eXhaustifely Whr has been accomplished has, however been done with care and the informa tion obtained is sufficient to sattG fy the commission as to the neces sity of certain main lines of action | if the fishery is to be preserved. Policy of Commission
 In Carrying Out Duties Though the investigation has been highly scientific in character, t5t commission determined at the out set thatt it would be carried O.. along practical lines with close ad herence to facts and avoidance of un supported theory.
 1bo cIlIlI uclO OCGl IO CSI Dl1Sl B- yond dop0t the actual condition oC the fishery at present and the history of it's trend to that condition. It has sought to define the remedial mea- sures which should be adopted tc save the fishery and to build it up as we'll as the conditions that would have to be met in applying such mo3 sures.
 Statistics have formed an indiz pensable part of the facts gathered They have included not only corr plete records of landings, but Q: operations at sea.
 Through the splendid cooperation Of the fishing vessel captains, the commission has secured evidence r,- cords of the individual catches, from which the yield per unit of fishing effort-the ''skato"-has been a5 certained for each section of the coast These cover every season anc are for years as far back as 1906.
 Even more important have been the biological studies. These have included the rates of growth accord ing to locality the migrations, the races" existent, and the spawning habits.
