he would have kept the confi- dence of the fishermen voters, notwithstanding the unfair ac- cuSations of his and other op- ponentS. I think the bill gives peace between trap men in Alas ka, prevents the jumping" of trapSites, compels trap owners to pay license fees therefor based on the amount of their catches, and thereby tends to conserva- tion of salmon and the better support of the fisheries and the public treasury.
 The Alexander Bill was a plan to give congressional perpetual leasehold title to trap sites in Alaska. Section six of the bill found in the proceedings of the House of Representatives of Dec B, 1916, provided:
 Sec. 6 FIXED NET LOCA-
 TONS: That any person oc-
 cupying, or desiring to occupy,
 any location where it may be
 lawful to construct a pound
 net (trap) in the waters of
 Alaska, shall have such loca-

 by a competent surveyor, UNI LESS A SURVEY THEREOF
 HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE,
 IN WHICH EVENT SUCH FIX

 USED, and shall cause three
 maps to be made of such loca- | tion from actual survey there

 such map shall constitute full and complete notice that the
 locator has complied with all
 the provisions of this Act in regard to such location and
 that such location is owned, held, occupied and claimed by
 the person designated thereon
 as claimant. FROM and AF-

WICKERSHAM ON TRAP SITE

X-
 Independent trapmen are dis appearing just as William L. Paul predicted in the legislature for 1927, and the control of all traps is passing to about five companies. This result is in evitable.
 "As a result of this tendency (so long as the trap remains a legal institution) it would seem best for the public interest that fish traps be licensed from year 10 year and that owners be com pelled to pay the government for the privilege-A PRIVILEGE GIVEN THEM TODAY. SUCH A LICENSE SHOULD, HOWEVER, RESERVE IN UNMISTAKABLE TERMS THE FULL RIGHT OF THE GOVERNMENT TO REGU- LATE, RESTRICT, OR TO PRO HIBIT" the use of traps for fish ing salmon, and also the right of the Territory to tax the fish of fish caught therein should remain in full force in effect. It should also be provided that whenever the control of the fish cries shall be turned over to the Territory, that the Territory should succeed to all the powers that are now exercised by the United States. Editor Alaska Fisherman in May 1929 issue, in troducing letter relative to the trap leasehold bill by the Hon. James Wickersham.
 The letter follows:
 Juneau, Alaska
 January IA, 1929
 Herewith I enclose for your information, a copy of letter which I sent to Hon. Dan Suth- erland, Delegate to Congress from Alaska, on November 27, 1928, in relation to the bill about trapSite locations in Alaska. Please note that I urged this identical plan upon the Commit tee of the House of Representa- lives and the House itself, at the time the cannery interests were pushing the Alexander Bill in 1916, but that I could not get it adopted at that time. Your at tention is called to this for I want you to see that it was not the cannerymen's idea but mine. I send you a copy of the Con- greSsional Record for December 13, 1916 and call your attention to pages 289 and 321, where there is contained the record of the struggle that day to pass the Alexander Bill over my OppoSi- tion. Your special attention is directed to page BOA where I presented this identical matter to the House of Representatives that I have now put in the bill which I want MT. Sutherland to present again to Congress. The Cannery- Trapmen have now concluded that it is better for them to have what I wanted them to accept in 1916 than nothing, hence their aid now.
 l send this letter and copy of Congressional Record to you for your information, so that you may understand the bill is not a cannery bill, but is one I pre- sented in 1916, and which met with opposition from the can ners, and for the further reason that after you have carefully examined it you will feel encour- aged to assist me in presenting it with approval to the Delegate.
 Very truly yours, (Signed) James Wickersham.

 My dear Sir:
 While in recent attendance upon the November term of court at Ketchikan, whence I have just returned, I was given the particulars of the charges made against our mutual friend Will liam L. Paul, candidate for the Territorial Legislature, in re- lation to his support of the bill which I drew up last summer providing for leasing salmon trapsites on tide lands in Alaska to trap owners through the Unit ed States Bureau of Fisheries. Purpose of the Alexander Bill
 of 1916
 I am satisfied that if Paul had known the history of the bill in question and had made it public,
The Alaskan., 1930-10-24

this part of the bill, think you must agree with me that the Alexander Bill WAS a plan to give a Congressional perpetual leasehold title to trap sites in Alaska, and that I only did my duty in bringing about it's de- feat in the House. l call your special attention to the proceed ings in tn House of Representa- tives on December 13, 1916, so that you may discover for your self the difference between the Alexander Bill and the bill un- der consideration.
 Proposed Substitute for the
 Alexander Bill
 The bill under consideration and which MT. Paul is said to have approved, is entitled, An Act to amend section of the Act of Congress of June 6, 1924, entitled An Act for the protec- tion of the fisheries of Alaska, and for other purposes" It is substantially identical with the one proposed by me in 1916 in my effort to defeat the Alexan- der Bill, which was only defeated by the happy accident that the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries had only a single day in which to secure it's pas sage, and failed to do so because of the many amendments offer ed by me Under the House rules, if it failed Gas it did) to pass that day, it could not be called again that session of Congress.
 I now call your attention to the efforts made to secure the adoption of the substitute trap site leasing bill in 1916, and to my statement in relation to that matter on December 13, 1916, as contained in the House proceed ings of that day where the fol- lowing colloquy occurred:
 MT. Reilly. MT. Chairman,
 Will the gentleman yield?
 MT. Wickersham. Certainly.
 ''Mr. Reilly. You stated a
 few moments ago that there
 are no laws at the present
 time covering the subject mat
 ter of this bill regarding these
 locations for fishing.
 INT. Wickersham. Yes sir.
 MT. Reilly. What necessity,
 if any, is there for new legis-
 lation along that line?
 MT. Wickersham. I think there is necessity for it, and I PROPOSED IT TO THE
 COMMITTEE THE COMMIT
 TEE WANTED TO KNOW
 WHAT I WOULD DO, AND I PROPOSED A LEASING SYS-
 ITEM OF THESE TRAP SITES, UNDER SUCH PROTECTION
 AS OUGHT TO BE IMPOSED,
 so THAT IN FIVE YEARS WE COULD GO OUT AND RECAP
 TURF THEM IF WE DESIRED
 AND CONTROL THEM IN THE

Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidty. says q noted authority. The kidneys helD filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. where it may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensa- tion, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obligins you 10 seek relief two or three times during the night. The suffer CT is in constant dread: the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again. there is difficulty in voiding it.
 Bladder weakness. most folks call 1t because they cant control urind. ton. While it is extremely annoy inS and sometimes very painful, this is often one Of the most simple all ments to overcome. Begin drinking lots Of soft water also set about four ounces ot lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in glass Of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids III the system so they no longer are q source Of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then ac, normal again.
