ANOTHER OF THOSE BEAR
 STORIES! MAYBE ITS TRJJE
AviatOrs' Gasoline Cache Entered by Persistent Marauders of the
 Northern Trails; Whether They
 Drank Fuel or Carried it On it Isn't Just Certain

Another bear story! < The latest one comes from An chorage and is the story of bears robbing an airplane cache. The pears clawed the gasoline cans and scattered about and emptied most of the contents.
 Thus, even the bears in Alaska are becoming modernized.
 The other day story came from Dawson about bear climb ing into an auto truck, clawing about until the self-starter sent the machine roaring away on all six and causing the bear to make a nose dive out of the side cur tains..
 Iii the early days of dog-power, before even the horse was brought into use and struggled through the overfows, and before the auto and airplane were thought of. bears were more crude in their methods but none the less persist ent.
 In those days bears would break open windows and claw op- en doors of cabins which were left unoccupied for any length of time.
 A Jew set up tent roedhouse on the Chisana trail during the gold stampede to that camp. While he was sleeping one night a big brown bear entered. The Jew went out the other end of the tent and climbed tree. The bear proceeded to make himself at home and what he didn't eat

Be- sides the economic loss resulting from the killing of young stock that will soon grow to much larger size there is the possible danger that this fishery will drain a run of salmon eXceSsiv- ly before there is any appreci- able effect in the way of a re- duced catch in the rivers that support the runs.
 A.. Seasonal changes in percent
 age of immature fish caught.
 These studies of the troll caught salmon have also shown that the fish caught early in the season (May and June) consist in large part of individuals which would not mature dur ing the year in which taken. Later in the season (July and August the catch consists chiefly of maturing fish. On this account an effort has been m in Oregon, and possibly also in Washington and Calit- ornia, to limit the trolling to the months in which relatively few immature fish are caught. If the same thing applies in the Alaska troll fishery, it would seem wise to restrict this fishery also in a similar way, although such a move should not be taken without some investigation to determine the extent to which the same conditions exist there as along the west coast.
 ..Other possible substitutes for
 the present regulations.
 It does seem, however, that the arguments pres sente e d against the entire closing of troll fishing during January, February and March are worthy of serious consideration because this closure apparently restricts only comparatively few local resident fishermen who are in

THE TROLLER'S REJOINDER
 TO O'MALLEY

TO O'MALLEY
 Ketchikan, Feb. 9th, 1929 Hon. Dan Sutherland,
 Washington, D. c. Dear MT. Sutherland:
 We wish you would kindly take up with MT. O'Malley in person our answer to his memo randum on our proposal to change the regulations affect ing salmon trolling in s. E. Alas ka dated Jan. 23rd, 1929, and
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-02-15

question: CD The weekly closed period during the part of the year when trolling alone is per mitted might be increased Suf- fciently to compensate for the three months during which fish ing is now entirely prohibited. The average time during which trolling alone has been permit ted under the previous regula- tions is about nine months so that by increasing the weekly close period by two days (mak- ing a total weekly close period of so hours) approximately the same result would be accomp~ lished as by closing the three winter months entirely. 2. The number of lines per boat might De still further reduced, eithe' during the entire season or du"- ing part of i5. Thus the num- Der of lines per boat might be decreased to four instead of the resent six.
 c.. Need of Restriction.
 There has been such a mark ed growth to the trolling indus try in southeastern Alaska that some regulation is deemed es- sential to the proper conserva- tion of the King salmon runs. Otherwise we may anticipate an unlimited expansion of the fish cry and consequent everlasting and depletion. Such an out come would be disastrous and the burden would fall most heavily upon the resident fisher men who depend most largely upon this resource for their means of livlihood.

forwarded to us by you. 1 Proposed Substitute.


 Under this heading he refers to our proposed substitute, viz: instead of closing down the first three months of each year that he make it unlawful to catch for commercial use any king salmon that would dress under six pounds.
 He makes two objections, First, that very few hooked fish survive, Secondly that such a regulation would be difficult to enforce during the season when other forms of gear are work ing.
 Regarding the first objection, we have to say that VERY FEW HOOKED KING SALMON DIE when shaken back into the wa ter immediately because small king salmon take the hook either on the side of the mouth or thru the upper jaw and hence are easily shaken off.
 Regarding the second objec- tiOn, the facts will show that no king salmon are caught by either seines or gillnets in the areas open to trolling.
 This leaves only the fshtrap and as to this type, the Bureau of fisheries has already elimin- ated them by the very policies which it seems to have adopted namely, keeping the traps closed up to the very time when the fish for which they are design ed begin to run, and also the closing down of inland waters to traps.
 The first ruling (closed early seasOn) has closed the traps during the best trolling months. The second ruling (closing in land waters) protects the spawn ing king salmon.
 But how about the traps dur ing the canning season? They

Modern Form of Princess Dress

point of view, less modest
The most important difference, I
think, is that clothes today are so in
finitely more comfortable and that
scantneSs and brevity are in many cases
merely part of the general rule for
greater comfort. The great difference
between the young women OF today in
her attitude toward dress and that OF
her mother a generation ago Is that
the girl today insists on being entirely
comfortable and any fashion that
hampers her freedom or her general
sense of ease is bound to be rejected.
So there may be revivals-so called.
There are fuller, longer skirts but they
are made to rise high in front so as TO
provide freedom of motion. The new
princess silhouette appeals to the
younger woman because 1t gives new
charm to her slenderness, but she would
never consent to the sort OF princess
dress that required bones and tight lin
ings and closely drawn stays.

how to cut out a new step-in which is
so simple that you really hardly need
a pattern at all. I am sure you Will

with a sketch of the model from which

You will not enjoy again in all the
green half Of the year the colors OF
the forest half so much as now. Mid
summer greenery has a sultry heavi-

A tree can be oppressive; there are
streets in Washington that seem fairly

the almost black-greens, except in the
pines and magnolias. To me there is
| always a strange, suppressed power, an
unperceived glory, like the beauty OF
young boys and girls, in these raw,
yellow greens. Many people are touched
with more promise, more wonder and
magic, at II than at At, and so 1t
Is with the LEAKAGE on a hillside, where

the dog days, just before the Autumn
colors, when their shapes are grown
too long familiar. Today the leaf OF
each species hangs half-shaped, and
the green sap of life runs fresh and
fearsome in their veins.
And what is this green sap, In
reality, in essence? It bears the name
Of chlorophyll-that fermentation in
leaves which, in the presence Of sun
light, can turn the lifelesS elements Of
earth, air and water into such life
sustaining products as starch and
sugar, and such indispensables as wood
and fax, cotton and rubber, tannin and
turpentine.
Almost every animal on the earth,
and, above all, the animal man, Is
absolutely dependent upon this thin
green blood of the world. Everything
we wear, everything we eat, everything
we burn for heat or for locomotion, Is
dependent upon the green leaf--na-
lures grandest miracle. For even the
animal products we use are derived
from creatures that live by eating green
foods, or prey upon creatures that do SO.
The actual, dynamic efficiency OF the
green leaf as factory is low. I have
forgotten what proportion Of the
energy in sunlight it is able to utilize,
but it is extremely small. Yet 1t is
