PREDICTIONS

The predictions of resident Alaska fishermen has so far been better than the scientists of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 The fisherman tells what he sees with his own eyes and after years of observation. When a given stream, producing mil lions of salmon in the past, gets to point where it produces on- ly hundreds, the fishermen need not be scientists to say '"The fish are all gone"
 On the other hand, MT. Sci enlist knows nothing about the comparative runs in a certain stream or spawning area. He wastes several years trying to secure scientific data whereby he may fill several books pend ing his statement that that sal mon area is a dead fish stream.
The Alaskan., 1929-07-26

other than by natural la.,. they will have to take steps to cur tail the packs of salmon to per- init seeding of the streams.
 Fish Per Line
 There are a known number of Icanneries in Alaska with a de- finite number of lines of ma chinery Permit a certain num- Der of salmon (total number) to be caught DIVIDED PEr: LINE OF PRESENT MACHINERY Ii a cannery goes under financial ly, his allotment of fish to be pro-rated through all the other lines. If other canneries are allowed in the fishing areas, cur tail total fish for all lines.
 When a cannery has it's quota of salmon packed it's operations l. for that season are done. The salmon outside of the total al- lowed to be caught will escape and permit of seeding. Have a varying period of seasons-in- stead of as at present, open the seasons later in order that pre- sent seed stock may escape to spawning areas.
 Cut out closed areas, stream lines and time which is only a weapon in the hands of the Bu- reau over-lords to COW resident citizens. Honest effort on the part of Henry O'Malley and his underlings will bring real bene- ficial results.

THE OLD ONES GET BUMPS

Down here, if you are 45
 years of age, you get very little
 work. The employers have an age limit, a blacklist system,
 and the employment sharks get the working mans money for a | job.
 I'm very glad to know of dear
 old Alaska, where you get away
 from this system of slavery. Philosophically, I suppose, it makes no especial difference in the long run; things work them selves out in the course of time. and many a fat system of over lordism has been extinguished suddenly. Yet having some }slight interest in the funda- mental decencies and the future
 of my grandchildren, would be more pleased if I discovered that the employment lords of the machine age had not kidded
 themselves into the notion that
 any old system of ethics would
 do and that their ego was the
 only important issue.
 This world will never be a world managed by a few smart guys and inhabited by either machines or morons; the mo- tion seems to be going the IrOundS that Hooverism means Ihard-bOiledism. Hoover is not like that, and if he was, it would merely mean that the next election would see Comp eriSm defunct and a virile la
 Dor party on the job. That is what it meant in England, and it is what it will mean here, if efficient, honest radicals on the job get blacklisted, blackballed and boycotted by petty sub lords.
 These sub-lords now snug, fat and Well-fed, are building a wall around themselves by boy
 cotting honest workers, who dare even say: His hot cakes at
 breakfast were cold. It is no other than the Employers As sOciation boss.

THERE IS DEPLETTON-NOW

Tn Southeast Alaska since 1912 fishermen have warned the Bureau of Fisheries, first of impending depletion of the fish cries of Alaska; second, of the present fact of depletion. Un- concernedly the Bureau of Fish cries lulled friends of Alaska, to sleep With the sirenic song of comparative packs and proved in 1919 that the pack was great CT in 1919 than 1912 and there was no cause for alarm. That irresponsible, radical Indians, for political purposes, were making rash statements with out foundation of fact"
 However, man may fool with nature but he never fools na- ture.
 The packs are held up at the expense of seed fish. It matters not whether caught in spawn ing area or five hundred miles from that area. The fact re- mains, they do not spawn.
The Alaskan., 1929-07-26
NEW PATRIOTS"

New patriots" is a coined phrase under the Hoover ad- mlnlstration going the rounds of neWspaperdom. The coinage of the phrase comes from the drawing of men from corporate service into governmental ser vice. The hullabaloo being over the fact that these men are leaving fifty, hundred thousand dollar or better paying places on corporate salary for six, eight and twelve thousand dollar po- sltions under the government.
 All of which reads highly pa- triotic. The trouble being that too many of these new pay-tri- ot's" are the directors of the invisible government and as such undermine the faith of the citizen in his government.
 Not all, some. Enough to shake many a faith in the insti- tutions of American govern ment.

Passeth the Levite on the other side of the Channel.
 What is the difference be- tween purse sein pursed up and bagged alongside the boat, and the pot of a trap?
 What is the difference be- tween a net in course of being set and the heart of a trap?
 Between the pursed net and the pot there is no difference.
 Between the setting net and the heart of a trap there is this difference-the fish get out of a net unless closed while they mill around the heart of trap and enter the spiller after op- ening of the fishing hour-IF NOT BEFORE.

MY ALASKA DOGS

Through prejudice, perhaps, my mind befogs, I think know no finer things than dogs; The young ones, they of gay and bounding heart, Who lure in their games to take a part, Who with mock tragedy their antics cloak And, from their wild eyes tail, admit the joke. The old ones, with their wistful fading eyes They who desire no further par adise. Than the warm comfort of our smile and hand, Who tune their work moods to ours and understand Each gesture; they who lie and wait To welcome us-with no rebuke If late. Sublime the love they bear; but ask to live Close to our feet, unrecom- pensed to give; Beside which many men seem like very logs think know no finer things Than dogs.

A POOR EXCUSE

The Bureau of Fisheries, in |cluding it's head, Henry O'Malley is the poorest excuse of ad- ministrators of 8 public resource imaginable. The very fact that depletion of Alaska's greatest resource is taking place under their administration is proof of the assertion. Taking place in spite of the warning by resident Fishermen and others.
 A COckeyed Bureau
 A fisherman holding a satur day catch over Sunday near a fishing area will be arrested for illegal fishing; taken into court. pay a fine of $400 or have boat and gear confscated.
 A trap which has not been brailed Saturday, under a strict definition of the term is fishing, and illegally so. Along comes

FOR TWENTY YEARS

For twenty years the Foshay interests will have a franchise to sell water, power and light to taxpayers without any com- petition. For twenty years, if sold, the city may not enter nor may any other corporation enter into that said business. Is the price worth it?
The Alaskan., 1929-07-26
A PRACTICAL SOLUTION

There is only one practical so- lution to the problem of stay ing depletion of salmon. Put LID fewer salmon.
 It matters not whetne~ the salmon are caught at Anar Creek or on their way to Anan cut at Cape Chacon. Caught salmon do not spawn and until the scientific "bugolegists" of the Bureau of Fisheries show how salmon may be reproduced

A PRUDENT UTILITY LEAD FRS SANE THEORY OF
 VALUATION

"Prudent investment" was ad- vocated as the proper basis for determining the value of public utilities by Powell c. Grover, Grover, president of the Kansas City Street Car Company, in an address before the convention of the Mid West Electric Rail- way Association in this city tSt. Louis, Mo.,) last week.
 The assiciation is composed of executives of street railways in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Arkan- sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colo rado and Utah.
 After reviewing the history of valuation and the efforts of cities and states to regulate" utilities, Grover predicted that sooner or later the 'prudent investment" theory would pre- vail and added:
 "I am not so sure this would not be better for us in the long run.
 Tt would save the expense of tedious appraisals of property to determine cost of reproduc- tion.'
 We must also consider the cost of possibilities of change in price levels:
 "The reproduction basis is helpful to us today, WHEN PRICES ARE UP, BUT suppose prices fall?
 "IN THAT EVENT THE COST OF REPRODUCTION MAY BE LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL COST. If that should happen while the principle of cost of reproduction new prevails vide spread harm might result to investors"
 Naturally the address provok- ed much comment. Heretofore all the public utility leaders chung tenaciously to the "cost of reproduction" theory.
 Prudent investment" would give railroads and other utilities returns on the money prudently invested. It is the theory advo- cated by such Progressives as Brandeis, La Toilette, Norris and Huddleston.
 Cost of reproduction" would give the utilities "value" equal to what engineers guess it would cost to reconstruct them new at present-day prices: This is the theory generally advocated by the utility spokesmen, be-

cause it would add billions to their value toda.-LABOR.
SCIENTIST SOUNDS WARNING

Dr. Willis Rich. in a review of the fisheries of the Bristol Bay area now says: With 1918, how ever, the general upward trend ceased, and production dropped over 2,0O0,000 cases in 1919 and 1921. In the latter year the to- tai pack was only a little over 2,500,0OO cases, the lowest peak since 1910. It rose gradually to a new peak of 6,652,882 cases, lvalued at $46,O8O,O04, in 1926 only to fall disastrously once more in 1927."
 Speaking of maximum of productivity he finds that Any development of the fishery be- yond the point of maximum productivity must lead inevit- ably to depletion and must be guarded against most care fully"
 Speaking of the Nushagak area he says: Tt seems impos- sible to ascribe this phenome- non to any cause other than depletion-to everlasting in the Is years or more that preced- ed the drop. This is exactly the sort of thing that biologists have warned could be expected the logical explanation being that the catch was held up, in spite of real depletion, by an in- creased intensity of fishing, un- til finally the break came and severe depletion became appar- ent at once. It is interesting to note, in accordance With the hypothesis advanced above that wide fluctuations are a mark of a too intensive fishery, the de- cade and more that preceded the year 1919 was marked by wide fluctuations in the total catch" Advocates Cutting Down Gear Even though the reduction in gear has been sufficient to permit the maintenance of the catch at the 3,OOO,OOO-fsh level, should there not be a sufficient reduction in the catch to per- init the runs to increase to something approaching their former abundance? Unques- tionably the general tendency on the Nushagak has been down ward, and if the depletion should continue at the present rate We may anticipate that within the next two or three de- cades the former magnificent runs here will be so reduced as to be worthless commerciallv" With the possible exception iof the Ugashik, however they all show a tendency to drop. In the case of the Ugashik it would appear. that this stream. too is entering a period of decreas- ing productivity. While the de- pletion of the Nushagak is more pronounced than other districts it is quite evident that the Red salmon catch n the entire Bris- tol Bay region is distinctly on the decline."
 And what is true of the red salmon areas of the Westward section is true of the red salmon areas of Southeast Alaska. It is true of every other species of salmon throughout the entire Territory.

Brotherhood Class
Eclipsed Attendance
Record Last Sunday

Eclipsing all attendance records ever
made since the organization of the
Brotherhood Bible Glass, the registra-
tion reached 1872 members Sunday morn
ing, July 81.
This high mark of attendance is the
result of the contest sponsored by the
class under the enrollments Of Fords
and Chevrolets, captained by j. F. Will
Jams and J. R. Williams, respectively,
and the rivalry that has been the out
growth of this race has brought every
member into work and action in obtain
ing additional ones as we'll as perfect

been committee within himself to-
wards increasing the attendance of their
chosen side and the result has been in
teresting for every class member.
A survey of the class at the last meet
ing showed representatives from all sec
tions and among the local communities
were noted Acona, Emory, Beulah
Pleasant Ridge, Bethesda, Owens, Cox
burg, Brozville, Cleveland, Howard
Bowling Green and Franklin, while the
following towns of the county had rep.
resentation also: Pickens, Tchula, and
