Officiousness of Game
 WardenS

Some of the game wardens traip5- ing about On government vessels, at government expense have gotten in to their buric-raniums that they are law unto themselves. This is more evident when citizens are un- able to defend themselves with the "Harva'd" accent
 Recent reports from Sitka tell a story of their illegal officiousness that is surpassed only by some oth- CT departments in Alaska.
 The following are the facts: Two old men from Sitka owing to engine trouble were unable to move out of Hoonah Sound, Peril Straits. They had been there for some time and were short of grub. While in the woods getting bark and wood to keep their boat and themselves warm, the Biological Survey boat Seal with couple of wardens came alongside their craft, The wardens entered and searched the craft of the stranded Indians; tore everything T Io l0F everything a wreck When the in dians returned to their boat they asked the Wardens to tow them 2 distance of fifteen miles but were re- fused curtly and in return asked if they had any illegal furs. Upon be- ing told mo" they started up their engine and left the Indians to the tender mercies of nature fifty miles from home and fifteen miles out of the direct path of boato traffic.
 Two white men happening along Ill Q small gasboat, hooked on to he stranded craft and lowed it to Poison Cove. Three weeks after tie men were due home searching larties were sent out and the wa, found and t"wed home.
 These two old men owe no tn .nks to the be efccnt government oc it's officers for tkt!r safe return ho'n'. The officers set themselves up as little tin gods, above the law, wl:h- out the law and law unto them selves Then they wonder why they are in disrepute with real Alaskans, WITHOUT THE LAW ,.:; ;,

Norway Herring Total
 Failure

Much is said of the Norway her ring when depletion of the Alaska fisheries is brought into controver- sy. Local herring men are quoted as declaring that the Norway fish cries can never be depleted' and fer the same reason the herring fisheries of Alaska cannot be de- pleted.
 Says the December issue of the Pacific Fisherman of Seattle: For the second consecutive season the fat herring fisheries of Norway were a complete failure this year, according to reports from the Amer ican consul at Bergen. The spratts (brisling) fisheries have also been unusually dull with almost no fish ing on the west coast coast, altho there has been some activity in the Oslo fjiord The landings of bris- ling at Bergen have been far from sufficient for the cSnneries there"
 Fishermen more recently from Norway declare that the reason heretofore, for the seeming non depletion of the Norwegian fisheries was due to the fact that the fisher men were running four to six hun dred miles from base of operations for their herring. But as the boats had to make the longer runs, the hazard became greater and the smaller boats too often did not re- turn. The smaller rigs were there fore compelled to lay up their gear so that in proportion the packs fell in that country. Depletion of the inland fisheries being given as the cause of the longer run from base of operations.

Brindles Buy Cannery

The Brindle Brothers, W. A. and H. A., both of Kotchikan purchased the Wards Cove cannery. They all so have an option on the interest of R. P Walsh who retains his holdings in the company. The Brindle bro liners a few years ago operated a seine boat, got some trap locations and were successful in their opera tions. They will add their trap To- cations to their cannery holdings and operate next year.
