The Alaska fisherman., 1929-04-15
April and May.

We note that you say you are not satisfied as to the effective ness of our proposed regulation making it unlawful to catch for commercial use any king sal mon that would dress under six pounds.
 You must grant us this-that we speak from our experience and on a subject on which you tain, which uncertainty, your letter, says, has developed since we began to correspond with you on the subject of regula- tiOnS that has shut Us up.
 We hope that the closing order will be rescinded because it does particle to the SerVa- ti0n of the king salmon. The only effect is this-that resident Alaskans will have to share with the nonresident troller in April the same fish which these same Alaskans might have caught during January, February and March. If these early king sal mon were spawn fish, the clos ing order would help. But these king salmon are feeding fish now confess you are very uncer- which will continue to swim around the outside trolling areas looking for feed to April and on.
 Now as to your promise of more effective restrictive meas ures" interpreted in the light of your last paragraph in which you state that inferentially our organization desires ito avoid anything more than possibly a very nominal restriction of sal mon trolling operations" permit us to say that such an inference questions our good faith and is not warranted by the facts which in short are these-you have prohibited trolling during January, February and March for purposes of conservation, and

we have made such a strong case against the effectiveness of that order that in your last let terse you admit that perhaps the order lis less effective as a conservation measure than at first contemplated" If you had given us the opportunity of ad- yising with you similar to your conferences in Seattle with other fishing interests, we would have brought up our proposed sub Stitute, namely, that king sal mon that would dress under six pounds be protected during the entire year. The results of your plan would be wiped out in April, whereas our plan would save three per cent of the king sal mon.
 We are in earnest in our de- sire to assist you in conserving the king salmon, but we insist that the means adopted should not hurt us if that is possible to avoid, and we wish to say here, that if no other way remains we will submit willing to be hurt.
 But why is the first cOnserva- tion measure one that cOntem- plates "curtailing" our "opera- tions Suppose you could ac- complish the same result by pro- tecting the king salmon from it's predatory enemies? We call at tention to the protected sea lion which not only exceed in number the entire trolling fleet but also destroy more king sal mon. One of our committee has had as many as nine king sal mon eaten off his hooks during one day. Others of us have been surrounded by six and seven sea lions at one time. These anin1- als during the king salmon sea- son, live almost exclusively on king salmon, passing up echoes
 and other kinds of salmon.

Commissioner of Fisheries, Washington, D. c. Dear Sir:
 Referring now to your favor of February 23, 1929, we beg leave to make the following reply to the questions in the order of your asking:
 1. What percentage of the catch consists of fish under six pounds?
 Answer. Our best estimate is that this amounts to per cent.
 2. What is the maximum, the minimum, and the average of number of trolling lines per boat?
 Answer. The maximum is ', the minimum 4, and the aver age number of trolling is 5. We affirm that no person who is trolling seriously uses less than 4.
 3. How many hooks are or dinarily used on each trolling line?
 Answer. Three.
 4. According to the best in formation available to you, how many trolling boats are Operat- ed in southeastern Alaska by resident trollers, natives and whites, and how many come into southeastern Alaska each sea- son from the outside?
 Answer: Acording to the fish ing tax collectors there were 1,7O5 resident trollers and 9O5 nonresident trollers in south eastern Alaska last year.
 5. How many of these boats are ordinarily operated in the months of January, February, and March?
 Answer: During January and February about 25 per cent of the resident trollers, and during March 75 per cent thereof. The nonresident trollers come in

Yokohama Leading
Toxic in Rebuilding

Yokohama is leading Toxic in the
proportion of its reconstruction pro-
gram completed since the earthquake of
1923. Both the capital and its port
have spent millions of dollars building
up since the catastrophe five years ago.
and most of the work undertaken by the
special boards created to supervise this
is expected to be completed before the
end of 1929. The amount of work done
here is larger than in Yokohama,
and there were many delays in begin
ming certain important parts of 1t, due
to city politics. Some idea of the gigan-
tic task may be had by noting that in
Toxic 10000 houses have been moved
to make way for new streets through
hitherto congested areas. In Yokohama
10000 houses were moved. The large
number of buildings destroyed gave the
opportunity for these changes with a
comparatively small amount Of house
moving. The building Of Ito new
bridges in Toxic is another feature Of
the program.

Hawaiian Volcano
May Become Extinct

Tremendous avalanehes in the almost
empty crater Of Kilauea, Hawaii's ''live
volcano" again have given hope that
Madame Pele" might return to her
traditional abode.
Pele is the goddess OF volcanic FIRE,
according to Hawaiian mythology.
The pit of Kilauea has been almost
bare OF flowing lava for several years,
though still smoking. Yet there are
fire cracks all over a vast expanse OF
the Hawaii National Park, surrounding
the crater, and ample proof that red
hot lava Is just beneath the surface.
The avalanches have sheared OF large
sections Of the crater's edge, so that
land where spectators and autos could

At an exhibition In London of French
battlefields and English gardens Queen
Mary purchased water color of Eng
lish wild flowers and, it is said, compli-
mented Miss Elves on her pictures of
devastated France, pictures painted
while the artist was doing practical re-
construction work on the battlef1elds.
The art critic of the New York Her.
aid Tribune, reviewing an exhibition of
Miss Elves work held at the Anderson
Galleries. New York, said: "She is an
English water coloriSt who has Travelled
extensively, painting with much deli
cacy and feeling the flower gardens of
many countries Her exhibition is filled
with the charm Of these different lands
Her England is quite the most romantic,
for there is frequently some old castle
wall or medieval gateway rising amid
She bridges the gap between the gar
dens of England and South America
with fitting sense of the more vibrant
and striking qualities of the latter, and
her Jamaica garden series is particu-
larly vivid
Miss Elves has Travelled in many out
of-the-way places and has exhibited her
water colors not only in England and
in New York, but in Paris, Buenos Aires,
Valparaiso and other places. And not
only does she paint, but lectures and
writes. Her lectures are on gardens, on
art and on international affairs. She is
at present painting here in Washing
ton, having wisely chosen this time of
Spring leaf and blossom for her visit
and exhibition.

It Is not the enforcement of our laws
to which Canadians object, so much as
the method we take Of doing it. In the
matter of prohibition, as in immigration
and in radio, it Is the state OF mind OF
the American official, not Of the Amerl-
can people, that Canada often finds
tryingly hard to understand. A num-
Der of instances might be adduced, but
let us take the two most striking re-
cent cases.
Up at st. Johnsbury. VT, close to the
Canadian line, an American workman
was fred from q power-dam job and a
Canadian taken on in his place. The
man who had lost his Job went to the
immigration officer (who Is reputed to
be q zealot) and informed him that
Canadians were being brought down
from Canada under promise Of a job IN
contravention Of our contract labor
laws.
Some of these Canadian workmen
were cast into jail by the local authori-
ties and held incommunicado while the
immigration authorities were getting
the regular legal warrants ready
We Americans get so used to such
violations of the law by the laws own
enforcers that we grow somewhat cal
louS about them. But obviously that
sort of thing can result in only one way
when we try 1t on the nationals OF
other countries. Our own government
has to take its hat In its hand and
apologize. The incident gets remem-
bered abroad and the apology Is seldom
heard Of.
More complicated was another stu
alton. which was fought to the Supreme
Court and on which a decision has just
been handed down by that tribunal.
About $1,000 Canadians had the
habit of crossing the boundary line daily
TO work on our side Of 1t and to sleep on
their own.
Factors Before Court
The court had to consider whether
these were "aliens visiting the United
States temporarily for business" and
therefore not immigrants" under the
meaning Of the act Of 1924, and also
whether keeping them out would con-
stitute violation of the Jay treaty with
Great Britain, which provided that at
shall be at all times free to his majesty's
subjects and to the citizens of the
United States !. I. freely to pass and
repass by land or inland navigation into
