Fishermen Ask Aid of
 Government

Intention of the Deep Sea Fisher mems Union to request the govern ment to station large vessel On the halibut banks to render aid to fish, ir g boats wherever required during the season, was announced in Ket- Chikan recently by Frank Semers, apresentative of the union. {.
 MT. Semers pointed out that Nor way and other small nations main tain several government steamers which patrol their fishing grounds for the express purpose of helping vessels in distress.
 As soon as the fate of the Brun- vel and Imperial is Infinitely decided tne union at Ketchikan will start action to bring pressure to bear on the proper official, he said. A com munication will be sent to Dan Su- therland, Delegate to Congress, re- questing his help in the matter.
 "A trip of a coast guard cutter is not sufficient; large steamer, of at least 1000 tons should be on the banks at all times during the halibut season." MT. semers said. A large vessel was stationed by the govern ment on the Alaska banks in 1913 lat was discontinued a short time later, Since then the matter has heen brought up several times.'

Ask Later Closing
 Fish Season

The Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union at a recent meet ing in their halls at Chinook, Wash tngton, went on record as favoring the closing of the Columbia River from August 25 to Oct. 21, instead of opening the fall season on Sep tember 10.
 The Columbia River season opens on the first of May, ending on the 25th of August and reopens on the 10th of September to remain open until the first of March Under the proposed tishermen's program, if ddopted, an additional 20 days closed season wOulG be secured in the fall
 According to the Chinook Obser- yer: ''The fishermen generally were against any earlier opening of the summer season altho the subject has been agitated here of late. They declare that such a stand might be misinterpreted in face of their cam paign against fish wheels and also accepted statements regarding re- ports that poachers who have work cd the river during the closed period in April have never made large catches.
 The local fishermen will also en- dorse a movement for legislative de- fnition of various types of fishing gear including river nets, floating gillnets; drag seines, as we'll as such types of gear as are held illegal, such as whip seines and purse seines. It was stated their recommendations as tC the definitions of seines would 1onder illegal the use of the Smith soine" or floating drag seine such as was used off the local water front f1r the past season.

 The forward range light was loose in the socket so he went up to fix it. He evidently reached for the stay, to guide himself to the deck, and missed it. Losing his balance he went overheard Joseph Kah- klen who was on deck saw the un- usual splash in the dark so he look ed closely and saw Lemmie come to the surface near the stern of the vessel He gave an immediate alarm The vessel stopped and put about searching for the lad with only his shout to guide to him. Two boats were put over the side with men to find him while the gasboat cruised back and forth in a stern effort to reach him. From the sound of his first call he was about a hum dred feet to starboard; the next call he was about the same distance 10 port; the third call he was but $ few feet to starboard at the bow. Effort to reach him with pike pole failed for the next break of the wave took him down and he was seen and heard no more. The search was continued even though it was evident no man could long live in the icy waters.
 He is survived by sister at Sit ia in the Sheldon Jackson School and cousin, Mrs. Otto Teller at Wrangell.
 Lemmie was a clean minded and living young man of about 25 years. lie was hard and willing worker and at all times ready to turn his effort to help others.

Halibutter Saves Tug

One of the trilling tales of the North was unfolded as the closing chapters in the salvaging of the steamer Starr.
 The big tug Roosevelt sent to tow the Starr south got her tow line foul of her wheel and was drifting helplessly toward Vessels Reef when the Attu happened along and extricated her from her precarious position.
 The Attu, halibut vessel taking the Starr's run is registered 37 tons let and powered with 125 horsepow Diesel while the Roosevelt is more than 500 tons net and powered with 1000 horsepower.
 The Northwestern was standing ny tho disabled Roosevelt and had lifeboat out while the crew of the Roosevelt were moving about deck in life belts when the Attu happen cd along The Northwestern was unable to get alongside the disabled tug On account of the waves.
 The Attu slipped in alongside of the Roosevelt, got her lines aboard and headed for Cape Clear.
 Capt Peter Wold and his crew of three men may we'll be lauded for :heir bravery and tenacity in saving the Roosevelt Capt Wold changed his course to save ten miles and hap pened on the craft in distress.
 After getting a line aboard the Foosvelt and headed for Cape Clear, the work was a long ways from be- ing ended. Capt. Wold had to exer- else real skill in reaching anchorage as he had to watch the towline, his men on deck and the tow in the driv ing gale. High seas swept over the small craft Heavy oil was poured on the line and water to prevent the l:ne chafing in two at the checks. At first the line was fastesed to the stern checks but at the first tug on the line the capstan gave way. Next il was fastened to the mast but when the lights went out it was fold that the line had cut the mast al most in two. For 6 half hour the crew worked making new fastenings, all of which was done in the dark.
 Shipping men are speaking in highest trems of praise of the work of Capt Wold and his crew

Resolution

Adopted by the Cordova, Alaska, Chamber of Commerce at it's regu- Ian meeting, Decembed 7, 1928.
 Whereas-The population of the Territory of Alaska, has steadily de- clined in numbers for the past 15 years and is continuing so to de- dine; and,
 Whereas-with the decrease in population the material welfare of the inhabitants of the Territory has seen a corresponding decline and,
 Whereas-it is the belief of the Cordova, Alaska Chamber of Com merce that the loss of population is due in a great measure to the re- sfrictions placed on the disposal of oil lands and placer ground thru Executive Order of November 8, 1910, by which all lands containing petroleum in the Territory of Alas ka were withdrawn from entry; the subsequent Act of February 25,192O, Al Stat 437), known as the miner al leasing Act; the Act of October 20. 1914, (38 Stat TAD; the Act of March 4, 1921, (41 Stat 1383); and the Act of March 8, 1922, (41 Stat. 415), by which last three named laws the coal lands Of Alaska were placed under leasing system, and thru the Act of August 1 1912, (37 Stat 242i, by which association placer claims were abolished and Fl ospectors were limited in the amount of ground which could be staked each month; and
 Whereas-the effect of the with drawal of the oil lands, and the and coal lands, has been to drive capital out e the Territory of Alas ka for the reason that men and corporations desiring to develop such properties refuse to do so un- less title can be obtained; and
