'sMr. Hardy. When one To- cates a pound net some one else can locate right on top of it, can he not?
 "Mr. Wickersham. Oh, no.
 s'Mr. Hardy. Why not?
 "Mr. Wickersham. Because of the law of possession. There is now no conflict among these people. Indeed there is so lit tie conflict among them that that sort of litigation would not keep one lawyer alive.
 ***Mr. Wickersham. Theoreti- cally, yes; but as a practical law, no. We settled all those questions in the West long ago. Our mining claims, town sites, and even our land claims on unsurveyed lands are now we'll understood and settled. The right of possession is as well respected there as any law on the statue books.
 "Mr. Hardy. Out on the Ocean?
 ''Mr. Wickersham. Out on the ocean or anywhere else. This is not on the ocean. This is on the tidelands, and when MEN GO THERE AND LOCATE THEIR TRAPS AND TRAP SITES THEIR RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED AND SECURED BY THE ACTION OF THE COURTS. so THERE IS NO QUESTION OF THAT KND." In giving this opinion, 1t eemS now that I was mistaken, pr Judge Brown and at least ne other district judge in Alas a, have rendered the decision bove recited, thus revising my jews of the law. The question, lowever, has not been passed on y the United States Circuit 'ourt of Appeals, and is yet an pen one.
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-09-15

out of the dilema which threat ened many of them with f1nan- cial ruin. I was consulted by one of the most prominent men interested in the question and was asked to prepare a bill that should protect both the public and private interests, if it could be done. I agreed to do that, and being employed I drew a bill embodying the very plan which I suggested to the Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and to the House of Representatives in 1916.
 Herewith I enclose for your in- formation, copy of bill drawn by me. It was submitted by me to MT. Paul, who has taken, as you know, very great interest in fishery legislation for Alaska and it was published in his pa per, the Alaska Fisherman, on the January number, 1928, ac- companied by a letter of expla- notion signed by myself. There after the bill was discussed by some of the leading cannery- men of Alaska and some minor changes made in it. It was then thought by all of us to be in shape to protect, FIRST, the public interest, second, the trap fishermen and cannerymen from Jumping" and THIRD, to bring trap sites and traps under the same plan of control as that adopted in the Act of June 6 1924, as amended by the Act of June IS, 1926.
 The Alexander Bill Still
 Threatens
 It is generally assumed, and possibly the courts will hold, that no legislation has yet been enacted by Congress to control the location and licensing of fish trap sites in Alaska that
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-09-15

19puBx9IV I9Q9ouB IsAo md oq Bill? Who will be the Delegate to Congress from Alaska at that time, and will the Act be better ur worse than the one now sub- mitted to your consideration? Certainly every important ele- ment of salmon canning in Alas ka is now admittedly controlled by the Bureau of Fisheries under the Acts of 1924 and 1926 except ing only traps and trap sites. Some bill will pass Congress soon for their control. Why not pass a bill which will fully protect the public interest when it can be done without danger to those interests?
 Trap sites are now owned and controlled under the law of pri- or possession and occupancy by trap fishermen, who acknowl- edge no right to the Bureau of Fisheries to control or license them, except the right to pre- vent them from catching fish. If the bill presented to you should be enacted into law, the situation will be far better than it is now, for then, while the same trap fishermen may be in possession of the same trap sites, that possession will be limited and controlled by the provisions of this bill, and the trap site will no longer be an outlaw. The possession will be limited by a short term lease with such limitations as will en- able the Bureau of Fisheries to control it's use. The owner al- so will pay a reasonable fee for the fish the trap takes, and there will also be peace in re- spect to possession.
