Wickersham Offers Draft New
 Fisheries Law

land" between the contending trap men, and the strongest of them controls. For the preservation of he public right, to prevent private tile, to preserve order between the var1 ing trap men, to compel them 70 pay a license fee and to recog- nize the rights of the public, 1t is necessary to amend the law to that extent.
 Tn view of this chaotic situation and at the suggestion of the friends of the Alaskan fisheries, the follow ing draft of a tentative bill has been prepared and is sent you herewith with the request that it be printed in your paper for gen. eral information. If the reader has any suggestion either in opposition to the general idea in the proposed bill as a whole, or of amendment which will better protect the public interest in Alaskan fisheries, let them be heard, so the suggested bill may be further amended to protect the interest of the public if necessary.
 Very truly yours,
