 These original Americans with undaunted hope beg to sub init several resolutions to you and invite your careful eXam.n atiOn so that the regulations of the Secretary of Commerce with respect to Alaska's fisheries shall be put upon a correct basis.
 These people al~o ask t..-ay since the resolutions are in part charges against the Bureau of Fisheries, that the merits of the charges be not finally passed upon by the said Bureau as is very often the custom, for these people know whereof they speak namely that their recolnmenda- tions are sound and will save this great industry With the least harm to capital or labor
 The first enclosure is the troad principles on which fu- t,lre regulations should be based. It is submitted without argu- ment, and while details have Leen omitted and for that reaS- on serious objections of admin istration could be made to it, still we assure you that We have covered them all and have ans Wered them to the satisfaction of the most skeptical.

AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

<A
 Hon. Robert P. Lamont,
 Secretary of Commerce,
 Washington, D. c.
 My dear MT. Lamont: :. ... .. .Tro Ing Season Icy Strait.
 The natives Of Eoonah, Alas. la, number about 500 people. They get their living solely from fishing.
 When these people raised the question of the trolling season, It was promptly endorsed by the representatives of Rake, a vil- lage of four hundred natives.
 We realized that we are bring ing charges against the Bureau ot Fisheries of which Henry CMalley is the officer in charge, and so we ask that our prayers end complaints be not referred to the said Bureau or MT. O'Mal- ley, but that you give these mat ters your personal attention.
 The trolling situation is most unjust. Without a hearing of any kind in which Alaskans could take part, Mr. O'Malley closed down trolling with powel. boats during January, February and March. In a letter to the Elas.Ea Trollers' Association the said Bureau admitted that "per- haps" their action was "prema- iure" The fact is thi3-the closing order was issued and then the Bureau began looking for f12cons to justify the order.
 The Hoonah natives { short perhaps on college degrees but long on what is just) point cut that MT. O'Malley prohibits them for trolling for echoes and king salmon in Icy Straits, and that these same fish are caught with gill nets in Lynn Canal.
 Likewise the closing order (shutting down during January, February and March) has only this effect-that the same fish shall be caught by the non-resi- dent trOllerS d,1rinp Anril and

Fish Regulations for s. E. Alas.

Fish Regulations for S. E. Alas. We the Grand Convention hereby reaffirn our constructive proposal for fishery regulations adopted by our last convention a. sitka, A'as,,a a n 1928 and again offer it to tEe Secretary of Commerce, as the basis of cor rect fishery regulations, name ly:
 That the Un.t or measure Of conservation is the salmon stream and hence recommend that
 1. No fishing shcu'd ke al,ow- cd until the salmon stream is adequately seeded;
 2. Thereupon fishing should be allowed to the high tide mouth of the stream;
 3: But whenever the amount Gf seed fish in the stream de- c}eases below the safety point the dead line should ke moved otlt until the supply of seed fish is guaranteed in the stream;
 4 Thereafter the dead-line should be placed at whatever point might be necessary to keep tie stream sufficiently seeded without over r-stocking it-in cher words we recommend a rloveab'e dead-,ine to be deter mined by the seed fish in the streams and the amount in S yhtt.
 Be it resolved that copies of this recOmu1cndatiOn be sent to tine Honorable Robert P. La n.ont, Secretary of Commerce, and the Honorable Dan Suther- land, Delegate to Congress for Alaska.
 Adopted by the Grand Con- yention of the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD at Haines, AL aska, this 18th day of November, 1929.

PAIN IN YOUR
SHOULDER?
Use TysmOl for Relief

knife-like jabs of pain in the vi
entity of the shoulder blade are gen
orally due to neuritis, brought on by
exposure to draughts or sudden
changes of weather. In some eases
there is stiffness or soreness in the
muscles, making it difficult to raise
the arm.
The safest and easiest way to re.
lieve such an attack is to apply
small quantity of Tysmol over the
affected area. This soothing, heal
ing preparation is quickly absorbed
through the pores and carried to the
throbbing ,aching peripheral nerves.
The pains usually stop at once, and
III a very short time the last trace
of soreness should disappear.
Tysmol is absolutely harmless
free from dope. Recommended for
all forms of nerve pain, whether
caused by neuritis, neuralgia, scia-
tica or rheumatism. Sold by lead
ing druggists. Always on hand at
Clements Drug store.

ing fight seems to be chiefly matter of
sour reflections by ! concerned.
Schmeling protests that he didn't want
to win that way" Sharkey no doubt has
his own melancholy thoughts. And the
great American fan has the dismal real
ization that once more he has been taken
for ride.
All of this, of course, is primarily
matter for discussion on the sports
pages. But sport, in America, has be-
come tranScendent subject. Affairs
like a world series, heavyweight cham
pionShip prize fight, a major football
game. national golf tournament or
featured horse race are things that inter-
est everyone. They cut across the ord-
nary boundaries. The intensity with
which we nourish them lifts them above
the confines of what used to be called
1.-The sporting world"
Boxing, ever since the war, has been
one of the nations favorites. Beginning
with Jack Dempsey's victory over Will
lard, the American public has showered
money eXtravagantly on its prize fight
ers. A few of them, like Dempsey, have
given value received; but-especially in
the last couple of years-the public has
received very little for its money. The
sour taste that is left by the last few
heavyweight fights is getting unendur-
able-brought to climax by this Shar
key-Schmeling fiasco.
Fundamentally, probably, the trouble
is that prize-fighting is not sport at all
any more. Golf and football are games
that are played for the love of playing.
Baseball, while deeply commercialized,
is still basically game and not a busi-
ness. Even horse-racing, surrounded by
a demi-world Of touts, gambler and fix
ers, is still at least partly sport.
But boxing 1t has fallen into the grip
of the racketeers, the chiselers and the
tin-horns. Whatever elements of sport it
once had seem to have left it. If the
American public is wel-advised it will
let this business die-or, at least, let it
pass into a coma and stay there until it
gets back to first principles once more
and becomes at least as much of sport
as big league baseball is.

NO CHOICE NOW
w. @. COSTELLO,
Manager

In response to requests from several
subscribers relative to the position OF the
Press in regard to the various candidates
for the office of sheriff, it may be stated
that no endorsement of any candidate is
intended prior to the August primary
election.
Where there are SO many candidates
seeking one office, the Press feeis that
the voters can best decide by themselves,
which two they prefer to have appear on
the ballot at the November election. The
primary is nothing more than weed
ing out process and endorsements for
this particular office are usually
prompted by home town loyalty or some
equally unsatisfactory reason.
There are strong and weak candidates
in the present lineup. We have no doubt
that the voters of Imperial Valley can
recognize which are which as we'll as this
publication can.
The office of sheriff is particularly
important one. 1t Is necessary that a
strong character be chosen, for border
county such as ours requires man IN
the sheriffs office who can rise to any
emergency requiring prompt and effect
i've action. At the same time there is an
equal need for a business man VINO can
supervise the so-called paper work. of
the office IN an lntelllgent, e1llclent ana
economical manner.
Neither a mere criminal catcher nor a
strictly office man is likely to give the
county the sort of sheriff it requires. A
man possessing the happy combination
of courage and ability will fill the
office to the complete satisfaction Of all.
We believe the voters Of the county
can choose two such men from the avail
able candidates. at the August primary.
This done, the Press will endorse the
man whom it believes best fitted for the
office, regardless of what town he may
hail from, basing its decision entirely on
what it believes to be for the greatest
good of Imperial county.
