WICKERSHAM ON TRAP SITES
 From The Alaska Fisherman
The Alexander Bill Still
 Threatens

It is generally assumed, and possibly the courts will hold, that no legislation has yet been enacted by Congress to control the location and licensing of fish trap sites in Alaska-that this most important ot all Alas kan fishing gear is yet an "out- law" to be constructed catch-aS- can by the first canneryman who can grab the site in the spring. Conceding that is tlSe sit uation, how long will it be be- fore another effort will be made to put over another Alexander Bill? Who will be the Delegate to Congress from Alaska at that time, and will the Act be bet ter or worse than the one now submitted to your conSidera- tion? Certainly every import ant element of salmon canning in Alaska is now admittedly controlled by the Bureau of Fisheries, under the Acts of 1924 and 1926 excepting only traps and trap sites. Some bill will pass Congress soon for their control. Why not pass a bill which will fully protect the public interest when it can be done without danger to those interests
 Trap sites are now owned and controlled under the law of pri- or possession and occupancy by trap fishermen, who acknowl- edge no right to the Bureau of Fisheries to control or license them, except the right to pre- vent them from catching fish. If the bill presented to you should be enacted into law, the situation will be far better than it is now, for then, while the same trap fishermen may be in possession of the same trap sites, that possession will be limited and controlled by the provisions of this bill, and the trap site will no longer be an outlaw. The possession will be limited by a short term lease with such limitations as will en- able the Bureau of Fisheries to control it's use. The owner al- so will pay a reasonable fee for the fish the trap takes, and there will also be peace in re- spect to possession. There can be no loss to the United States or to the Territory, but a de- cided gain both in control and in license fees.
 Trap men have owned and controlled these trap sites for fifty years, without themselves being limited or controlled in their possessory rights. The bill under discussion will change all that, in the interest of the pub lie, and permit public owner ship and control of these inn portant adjuncts to the public fisheries.
 Trap Sites Under the Acts of 1924 and 1926
 After a careful examination of the language giving power to the Secretary of Commerce to control tlse fisheries of Alaska contained in Section One of the tActs of June 6, 1924, and June 18, 1926, it is my judgment that if the Secretary should, by rules and regulations, provide fol
 giving trap fishermen an exclus- 1 i've license to construct and l maintain fish traps on then long
 used sites, the courts might sus-
 tain his power and authority te do so.
 Such a trap and trap site would not constitute the gran t @f o.. cnxy0r01 r.ioI1

THE HOPEFUL TOWN

There are some communities that
will never go ahead, because they do
not expect to do so. Before any city
can make progress, there must be an
influential element of people in it
that can see a good chance for i'm
proving it and pushing it ahead, SO
that they are willing to put work
into the proposition. When a town
has people who are thus inspired by
hope, that sentiment will be exem-
plifed in action of some kind that
will take advantage of opportunities
and remove obstacles.
A town with hopeful people is
town that makes an attractive ap-
pearance. People with this optimis-
tic sentiment believe it will pay them
to improve their business buildings
and residences. AS the result of this
improvement people are attracted to
the place and it grows in population
and health.
