SENATE VOTE DUE
ON FARM MARKET
May Reach Relocation Ques-
ton Late Today or
Tomorrow.

The Senate may reach a vote late
today or tomorrow probably the latter,
on the question of relocation OF the
farmers market in the District OF Co
lumbia. which has been before Congress
for several years. The bill before the
Senate. which has already passed the
House. would place the new farmers
establishment in the area bounded by
Tenth. Eleventh, E and G streets south
west, near the waterfront, but there are
number of Senators opposing the
southwest location, and it is expected
that before a final vote is taken ell
forts will be made to amend the House
measure.
It is understood that Chairman Cap
per of the District committee is con-
sidering offering an amendment to have
a committee Of local officials determine
where the market should be located.
When the market bill was made the
order of business in the Senate late
yesterday Senator Tydings, Democrat,
of Maryland, chief opponent OF the
Southwest site provided for in the pend
ing measure. said he would not delay
vote but that he knew OF four or fVe
Senators who wanted to discuss the
question and could not do 50 at that
time
until today, Senator TydingS also de-
clared amendments would be offered to
the Southwest bill which, If adopted,
would change its character. The Mary
land Senator has one amendment pend
ing which would designate certain OFF,
cials to make further study OF all pro-
posed locations before buying any site.
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
said he had received letters claiming
the discussion of different market sites
"is only railroad fight, a contest be-
tween two railroads"
ut could not be between two rail-
roads," Senator Glass replied. 1T Is
fight of four railroads on one side and
the steamboat companies and one rail-
road on the other, If it be railroad
fight; but it has never occurred to me
that ii is railroad fight. No railroad
representative has approached me on
the subject"
Senator Bruce. Democrat. of Mary
land, followed with speech in opposi-
ton to the Southwest site, and during
his remarks the railroad question again
was raised. Senator Bruce also de-
clared that he had not been approached
by any railroad with regard to where
the market should be located.
Senator Borah. Republican, of Idaho,
said two committees of farmers told him
the farmers who bring produce to the
District are opposed to the Southwest
site. In reply Senator Glass suggested
that the farmers of Idaho probably ship
as much produce to Washington as is
brought in by the nearby farmers. Sem
ator Glass said IS per cent of the prod
uce used here comes in by rail or
steamer.

Prohibition and slowness of
criminal prosecution in America

The crime for which the de-

He expressed the view that pro-

stated that he had seen more

NOT so BAD

Just after publishing advance re- io:t of the 1929 fishery regulations several fishermen were bemoaning the unjustifiable throttling of her ring for bait operations. One of the old time fishermen, described b. the boneless Scott governor as radical" spoke up 'aaind said: Don't you worry. Those regulations are not going to stand long. Don't you think for one moment that they are going to do anything to hurt those big corporations by shutting off their s"ld storage supply of bait. No, suu will see, just as soon as they nnd out where they made a slip, they will send out supplementary regulations to permit the herring fisherman to deliver his bait without any hurt to the industry"

THE COW

Alaska in it's relation to Seattle is the joint owner of fine milk COW. We own the front half and Seattle owns the back half. The milking is done in Seattle; Alaska takings the whippings from the tail
 Whenever Seattle thinks that we are almost starved, she kindly shoots one squirt of milk at our mouth and if we miss it, we are told that it is car fault.
 The worst of this ownership is the fact that we are compelled to feed our half of the COW. In over coming our resistance, Seattle has tie support of the federal governor, the Bureau of Fisheries, the Forest ry Bureau and virtually all the fed sral employees, all the public press except the Petersburg ALASKAN aud The ALASKA FISHERMAN. Even the commercial clubs assist Seattle.
 The only organized resistance is the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHER HOOD often referred to as the ''il- literates."
 The Trollers and the Halibutters are showing signs of resisting, but not as a matter of principle; rather tecause recent acts of oppression by the Bureaus have hurt them.
 Misfortune is mighty leveller. '

ALL TOGETHER NOW
 By THEODORE HUNGERFORD

The answer, at least here in Southeastern Alaska, is LAND. We have no land. It might be we'll at this point to state that from here on write of conditions in Southeastern Alaska.
 Don't get the idea from the above statement about land, or rather, the lack of land, that we all live on boats edor go about over a country that is eternally covered with snow, over lying a vast field of ice.
 Here is what we have. An area roughly 300 by 100 miles in extent, i, most places heavily forested. This land consists of an immense group of islands with narrow strip of mainland.
 It cannot be classed as agricul- tural land It is timber land, pure and simple, all directly available to sat water transportation.
 One of the most accessible and valuable stands of timber in the world today
 Roughly 20 million acres with a stand of virgin timber estimated at 75 billion board feet of saw timber. More recent cruises and estimates place the total much higher than this. But these figures are impress i've enough. On the subject of this land and timber, I am perhaps q little fey in the minds of some. I do not admit it.
 To begin with-Land is the natur-,I Il habitat of man, it is for his use and enjoyment, it is the first love If all settlers and people. J
 To withhold idle land from peo- rie who wish to improve that land and build themselves a home on it Is criminal. More particularly so

WE WERE SKEPTICAL

We have been told that Henry G'Malley is an honorable man and has only the "best interests" of the territory at heart. We did not wish to think that he was owned body and soul by corporations so we de- tlared that he (Mr. O'Malley) made certain prohibitions against the small herring fishreman in sincerity.
 He did. May be he didn't. That is the bone of contention now. Any ~ay, supplementary regulations are ont. A herring pond is not a net. D Is not trap. It is just what you might call 1t, depending on whether you are herring seiner or salmon seiner.

CLOSING OF TRAPS WOULDN'T
 HAMPER TOMAN OPERATIONS

There is at least one Anchorage cannery which would not be serious ,nlet to trap fishing. That is the plant erected last summer by J. F. Toman, a one-liner, at the outer end Of the cannery dock It could be kept busy very easily, MT. Toman says, with the use of nets exclusive lv, it being estimated by him that 50 nets would provide all the salmon needed; so he is not worrying about he new fishery regulations which were made public at Washington, De- cember 20 by Commissioner Henry O'Malley and concerning which there has been much argument locally as Ithe result of conflicting cable re- ports relative to the intent of the regulations in the matter of trap elimination It is expected that cop ies of the regulations will reach An chorage in the mail due here on Mon- day
 While admitting that the larger |canneries would be crippled by any radical curtailment of trap opera tions, it is the opinion of MT. Toman that the Cook inlet district as a whole would be helped by the clos ing of all the traps in the area, step that eventually must be taken, he thinks, to prevent the depletion Of the salmon. More general use of nets, he points out, would attract permanent population of fishermen to inlet towns and many small can- neries would take the places of the big plants which now depend upon traps and which annually import lot of cheap foreign labor..-An- chorage Daily Times

We are asked to print list of closed bays and areas in this district and Division. The list is too long and would not be read by 95 per cent of our readers. To anyone de- sir1ng a list of fishing waters and areas, we suggest that they write 10 Commissioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley for a list of bays and wa ters that ar, open to fishing. That is a much shorter list and easier to compile. Such a list would be right handy in the pilot house of the man razy enough to go fishing these tays.

 The only National Reserves justi- fled are those creating parks and playgrounds.
 When the Act of Congress, creat- ing National Forests went into effect. lit was not particularly obnoxious to the States because practically all of what was at that time desireable land, had already passed into the hands of private owners.

 It is of vastly more importance Go any country, that any citizen, who dreams a dream of building him. self home and improving a piece of land, shall be given that chance on any available piece of unoccu- pied land, regardless of what others may think of the venture, than any possible future profit the govern ment may derive from holding it.

 An old timer says: "When I first came to this country I went up a 5mall stream near Douglas and was 1nable to get a trout hook into the water on account of the humps which crowded the stream"
 The real reason for the slump in Alaska industries is due to lack of proper restrictions and curtailment. Depletion will continue until fewer salmon are put into cans.

GENERAL BUTLER
ASKED TO TELL
WHAT HE SAID

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. W.H)--
The speech made by Major General
Smedley l.. Butler at Pittsburgh,
December 5, has become the subject
of an inquiry by the state and navy
departments, and it was learned
authoritatively today the matter
may be referred to the White House
FOR recommendation.
Butler, who gained national tame
by his attempt to force bootleggefs
from Philadelphia, and through
various foreign exploits, made the
Pittsburgh speech before an asso'
clation of business men. He was
quoted as saying American marines
have maneuvered Central American
elections to place hand picked car
didates in office.
Secretary of Navy Adams, since
ne took official notice of Buffers
alleged statements more than
week ago, at first maintained cor
sistent silence. He then let 1t be
known he had asked Butler for his
version of the speech.
