the hundreds of trollers who habit lally come TO Alaska in the spring can arrive. We are not in this let t"r arguing against this class of tHollers. We merely call attention creases the difficulties of those troll e"s who by necessity are compelled to face the bad weather of the three months, and for the added reason that we wish to propose a substi- tute ruling which will not only con- serve king salmon, but will distribute fife burden fairly on every troller.
 The substitute ruling which We I;ere recommend is that you shall by an order direct that no king sal mon shall be caught for commercial purposes that will dress less than SIX pounds.

 The fish buyers even now have this classification, but that is not sufficiently effective since we are still rounds even though for a much low CT price.
 Such ruling would in reality mon for the entire year. Consider fer moment what gain there would be when several thousand trollers begin to save all king sal mon, not merely for three months, tut for the entire trolling season? And then consider how ineffective the present seasonal closing is in r> mparison.
 We will try herein to help yoH to make th;s comparison. On ac- count of bad weather, the actual tine that trolling can be carried oL during the first three months of the

Commissioner of Fisheries
 Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir
 By way If introduction, we wish to say that we, the undersigned com mittee, have been appointed by the Alaska Trollers' Association to take up the matter of conservation of n;ng salmon to the end that the bur den shall fall most lightly on all and yet promote the greatest good to the business of trolling.
 The Alaska Trollers' Association represents the entire trolling pOpula- ti3n of Southeastern Alaska This amounts to several thousand troll CTS.
 We wish therefore to urge your patent consideration of the facts fol- lowing and if we make our point, that you adopt the regulations favor ed by us.
 We feel Justified in asking your most favora hle consideration be- cause you must believe us when we suy that we have the strongest reas- .:cs for wishing king salmon conserv- ed Among these reasons is self-in- 'c"est Everything we have is in vested in this business. Then, too, our practical experience argues strongly in our behalf
 Our first point is this:-
 Trollers do not catch spawn fish except on the rarest occasions. There fore any troll fish that is conserved during any one day, week month or season is merely saved to be caught on the first open day or season. For this reason, we urge upon you that your recent order prohibiting power trolling during the months of Jan nary, February and March, will not effectively conserve king salmon. On the other hand, it will only add to tbe burdens of those resident troll CTS who by their necessities are com lelled to brave the dangerous waters of those months.
 Thia closing nrAar will have tho

exceed 27O hours per troller. The day cannot exceed more than six hours The total number of hours tce short day, the average trolling total number of trollers effected is estimated at 300 hundred, all resi- dents of Alaska and comprising the most unskilltul or most unfortu aate If all the trolling population of Alaska, botb Indians and Whites the unskillful by their very lack If skill cannot make enough during Il e season of comparative good weather to lay off during those thee months, and the unfortunate hy their misfortune being compelled 70 fish when their every inclinat vn would urge them to lay off.
 Certainly nothing but necessity ould send the men out during ;he torms of January, February and March Experience has shown that men that trol! during these months make bare living. There is no prospect of making "killing," a prospect that has kept the trolling fleet recruited up with the ever changing thousands of green horns ct the south who frequently sell out their fine businesses or quit good jbs because of fabulous stories of "easy money up north" On the con- ,ra:y, these men are driven out by the sheer necessity of providing food Oo say nothing of clothing) and shelter for their families, for it IS cnly the resident fishing class that is hit by your closing order.
 We wish <: commend your depart Inent in closing certain inland wa ters to fish traps for experience has shown that 1t Is in these areas that tne king salmon which are about to spawn are caught.
 In conclusion permit us to say that We are with you in your desire to conserve king salmon. And we hope that after careful consideration cf the facts stated in this letter, you will agree with us that the scheme

 Homes Would Be Built
 Settlers will quickly erect lomeS along such a road and ev- cry valley would be opened to agriculture ana every mineral .cgion to prospecting. As an ex- ample of what always has fol- owed and naturally will follow road building in the western wilderness, the government of the United States has in the past three years constructed a good graded highway from Juneau, the capital of Alaska, for forty miles north of that town, and during the progress of the work more than a hundred settlers have built homes along the line and new homes are being built as the road progresses and reaches new good locations. This road crosses two small valleys and the one nearest town has a Cozen dairy farms and many garden and farming patches and fields.
 The main line of this propos- ed airplane and automobile highway will cut British Colum- bia, Yukon Territory and Alaska through the center, in the great valleys between tn Coast Range and the main chain of the Rocky Mountains, and will extend from Vancouver, B. O., to Dawson and Fairbanks. Shielded from the excessive rain and snowfall along the Coast by the great barrier of the Coast Range, it will pass through a comparative Iy dry region, cold in winter and hot in summer. The snowfall is light and the winter road will be hard and paSsable every day, both winter and summer. To Se- cure the best development from the great main road, however, it will be necessary to construct several branch lines from the main road to favored sea coast terminals.
 Such an airplane and autOmO- bile international highway with branch lines across the Alaskan boundary line to the sea coast. will require some legislation, probably, by both the Canadian and United States governments to modify some of the present customs rules and regulations.
 Present Rules Stringent
 "These laws should be so lib- eralized as to give the utmost freedom in travel over these highways with both airplanes and automobiles. At present stringent regulations prev en t the free flying of airplanes across the borders; these must of course, be modified, and the highways made free.
 Alaska and Klondike pioneers have always subscribed to the Arctic Brotherhood m ot t o, There is TO boundary line be- tween us," and that sentiment should be extended by law to this great international high way and it's branches.

ACTIVITY IN GAS FIELD
ATTRACTS MUCH INTEREST

Contracts for drilling three more
wells in the Benton county gas field
were recently signed between R. B.
Newburn, president OF the North
western Natural Gas company and a.
A. Durand, deep well drilleI OF Wala
Walla. The work on the wells is
expected to begin the first of next
week.
Newburn announced that the pres
ent gas flow is sufficient to meet the
expected demands Of the first pipe
line to Prosser, Grandview, Sunny
side and. Mabton. Additional wells
will be needed to care for the pos
sible increase in business, he said.
1t was further announced that gas
service to the Yakima valley towns
win be ready about November l.
The actual building of the pipe line
for the distribution OF the gas has
stirred general interest, and other
companies are now being promoted
who promise to enter the field soon.
It seems to be only amatter Of time
now until Yakima will be supplied as
well as Walla Walla and intervening
towns eventually distributing lines
will be built to-. the Coast on the
west and Spokane on the east.
The West Coast Gas and Oil COM
pany has sent S. III. Foster to Cali
fornia to superintend the loading Of a
large rotary drill, weighing between
co and IS tons. It is capable of drill
ing hole a mile and half deep,
starting with hole as large as ~
inches.
The company expects to have the
outfit in the Benton county field with
in the next ten days and as soon as
1t can be get up, drilling operations
will begin. It is planned to start a
hcle sixteen inches in diameter and,
at the location selected, to encounter
gas at depth Of about $50 feet.
They expect to reach that depth with
in so days after the erection of the
| derrick. IA
The company announces that 1t
has sufficient finances to guarantee
the drilling Of the first well and it
they get good producer to continue
further drilling operations. The West
Coast company has leases on around
fourteen hundred acres, most of which
is in the vicinity Of the present wells.

which lies within the present proven
