 both rivers were much higher in 1926, with the result that the fish were more scattered and it was more difficult to form an estimate of their numbers. I formed ,ne opinion

the lean years. It should be re- that over 100000 sock eye were noted as they entered the Quesnel Lake in 1909, and that the numbers which reached 'Chilko Lake that year were approximately as great Even in 1913, the year of the disastrous blockade in HelPs Gate Canyon, over 550,0OO sockeye were coCnted as they entered Quesnel Lake in August, and the reports of tl.at year indicate that as great a number reached both Chilko and Snuswap Lakes. Those which en- tered Quesnel and Chilko in August of 191. consisted of fish which pass ed through Hell's Gate during high water in July before the blockade became effective, and those reach d ShusWap consisted of fish that were assisted over the blockade late ir the season.
 in view of the foregoing records it is apparent that thede is littlewar- rant for terming a run of few thou sand to any of the lakes "a good r3n," or to forecast a good return from their spawning There can be no considerable return four years hence from sockeye that spawned in tho Quesnel, Chilko, Stuart, Fraser, Francois, Seton,, or Anderson Lakes this year,

 The skeena River Section: The information supplied for this area il l.dicates that the run was ten days later in arriving than usual and ran some fifteen days later.
 Euy little evidence was found in the Naas of the early run of sock ey but later reports show that the run was later but did not offset the absence of the early run.
 The report in detail "Tre catch of all species of sal mon in the Provincial waters of the Fraser River system this year pro ducaG pack of 284,37S cases, as lagainst 274,951 cases in 1926, 276,- )aS5 cases in 1925, 212,O59 cases in i1c24, and 226,S69 cases in the ! fourth preceding year, 1923.

OBSERVATIONS ON SCHOOL
 SCHOOL PROBLEM

Public monies for public pur- pCses'' is the slogan of the Attorney General of Alaska. The position taken in Petersburg is public mon ics for white children.
 Amendment IA to the Constitu- tion of the United States: 1.All persons born or naturalized in tho United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of tie United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which stall abridge the privileges or inn munities of citizens of the United States; NOR SHALL ANY STATE DEPRIVE ANY PERSON OF LIFE, LIBERTY OR PROPERTY WITH OUT PROCESS OF LAW, nor deny to any person within it's Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
 Tn article 4 of the Constitution the citizens of each State shall be en- titled to all privileges and immuni- ties of citizens in the several States Petersburg through it's action says this law does no apply to citizen h. dians therefore being "full-blood In dians automatically bars them from the rights freely granted other citi- zcns and non-citizens.
 The decision previously made by tie Board was that mo more h. dians will be taken into the public school" beginning this year" On thls ruling the application of Roy Bean and Thomas Austin to enter their children was not considered. During the past week an Indian crlld with father neither white man nor an Indian was entered. It means more to Petersburg to devel op it's children of foreign floating parentage than it's permanent citi- Zcnry.

FOO MUCH ILLEGAL FISHING

Orders were issued by the De- partment closing down fishing for the year a week sooner than expect eii It was to be expected for two reaSons-the fishermen were mak- ing a few dollars and there was too much illegal fishing, by and with the consent of the Gamers
 Reports here indicate that fish e:man through the Gamers pur- chased immunity and in some in- stances bribes being paid by the fishermen at $5. per member of the crew.
 The run of humpies was very late ard inside the line in most instances while the run of dogs did not devel- op until closing date. To secure any fish the crews had to go inside the lines and the Gamers knew this but rather than close down they be, came party to the illegal fishing.

Allied to the Alaska salmon fish eres are the fisheries of British Co., lrmhia. Depletion of Alaska salmon
 rIrks depletion of British Columbia salmon. The Alaska Native Broth | erhood members have warned l the industry and Alaskans that it was but a matter of time when sal mon in Alaska would be scarce as the proverbial hens teeth; later it wqs the assertion that to conserve only the late run of salmon meant the return of late runs of salmon in their cycle The report of MT. Bab cock, assistant commissioner Of Fish cries for British Columbia for l1S27 bears these statements out. He says:

 well that very few ;sockeye were seen there in July and August, and that but a limited number were a considerable number reached there early in October and passed through without delay. Presumably the lat ter were fish that were later noted in Adams and Little rivers, Shuswar a1va. Officer Scott reported that a ve4y large number reached the Gate on October 25th but that water con- dilions were unfavorable and that many of the fish, which appeared in good condition, either had no in clination to or were not strong i erOugh to pass above the Gate.

most fatal injuries can be traced

was due to starting scrimmage tou

The other time when accidents ars

theory he holds. is Just before the
hig games when players go through
scrimmages but try to save them
selves as much as possible.
"A man who tries to save himsen
Is much easier to hurt than one who
