PROGRESS MADE IN NEW SYSTEM
 OCEAN TRAFFIC
Recent Loadline Conven- ton Outstanding Step
 Assuring Safety

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov 20.- The steady progress which this country is making to assure safety at sea, is revealed in the annual report of Commissioners of Navi- gation A. J. Tyrer made public to- day by the Department of Com merce.
 Pointing out that the recent in ternational convention on load lines which was ratified by all the maritime nations was supplement tary to the 1929 convention on safe ty at sea-" It is probable that the load line convention will come be- fore the next Senate for ratifica- ton, the report states.
 Cordial Cooperation
 Satisfaction is expressed in the report with the cordial cooperation on the part of steamship owners and masters in the administration of the navigation laws" Yacht clubs, motor-boat organizations, and motor boat publicantions, accord ing to MT. Tyrer, have educated their members and readers in the requirements of the law During the year under review 7417 violations of our navigation laws were re- ported to the Navigation service and dealt with. Patrol boats of the service in this period made more than 27000 inspections.
 Americans in Service
 Of the 334,780 men shipped be- fore shipping commissioners dur ing 1929-30, the report shows, na- tive and naturalized Americans &C., counted for 70 per cent. The work of the shipping commissioners in- wolves the supervision of contracts of employment by seamen, and under the existing practice which supervision results in the protection of the rights of seamen under the laws. United States statutes have extended to such seamen wide pro- tecticn covering their wages, length of employment, character of the voyage, food required, quarters and care in foreign ports when sick and disabled.
 Statistics cited in Commissioner
 
 Tyrer's report strikingly reveal the decline in American tonnage en- gagged in foreign trade since the high-water mark reached in 1921. On June l of the current year, this tonnage amounted to only 3,319,000 falling off of 7,48o000 gross tons. On the other hand the tonnage Of vessels engaged in the coasting trade, exclusive of the Great Lakes, has increased nearly 5,000,000 gross tons,

CHAMB ER URGES EXTENSION FOR SALMON SEASON
Asks O'Malley for Change in Chatham and Icy
 Strait Next Year

Change in open season dates in the Western District, Chatham Strait, relaxation of trolling re- strictions in Icy Strait, protection of herring fisheries by regulations, will be sought by the Chamber of Commerce, it was agreed at today's meeting of that organization The Chamber also promised it's sup port to the Fishing Vessel Owners Association in it's recommendations on halibut regulations.
 Its recommendation will be made to Commissioner Henry O,Malley of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, now conducting hear ings in Seattle, by R. E. Robert son and John w. Troy, who will appear for the Chamber.
 Wires O'Malley Direct
 Supporting it's instructions to these delegates, the Chamber has cabled Commissioner O,Malley it's position on the fisheries situation. It also advised the Vessel Owners Association it would join it in any reasonable request after being duly advised of it's program.
 The Chamber was in receipt of a cablegram from that organiza- ton saying: We are opposed to lengthening of the closed season, and we are opposed to granting the International Commission regula- tory power We believe the Com mission should be retained as an Investigating and advisory body to report their findings to legislative bodies of the United States and Canada for enactment into law"
 The Association was instructed to get in touch with MT Troy and MT Robertson, and they, also, were notified of the Associations posi- tion and the Chambers support of it.
 Cold Storage Acts
 lCOlQCllI w dllAo SCO46O, dent of the Juneau Cold Storage Company, informed the Chamber he had wired the Commissioner relative to the use of herring His company had asked for regulations restricting the use of herring for reduction purposes, and prohibiting the taking of herring from the spawning grounds for bait or any other purposes.
 The desire of certain North At lantic fishing interests for the in- position of tariff duties in fish landed in American ports by alien owned vessels, regardless of resi- dence, caused the nationwide in- vestigation of fisheries and vessel ownership, the Chamber was told today by Lawrence T. Hopkinson, Special Expert of the United States Tariff Com mi S ion, who with Charles A. Carter of the same organization, were guests today.

Are Alaska brown bears given adequate protection, in theory and in practice under the law? "Yes, D answers John E. Pegues, Managing Editor of The Daily Alaska Elm pore, and he supports his reply with such sound reasoning that Harold MCCracken, Associate Edi- tor of Field and Stream, who was one of the rabid critics of the treat ment accorded the animals, admits they are provided with every de- sirable safeguard Mir. Pegues' arti- cle and MT. McCracken's acknoWl- edgement are printed in the De- cember issue, just received by stands, of Field and Stream, Americas oldest and most popular magazine for the outdoorsman.
 Situation Is Explained
 MT. Pegues' article, for the most part, follows:
 "The Alaska game law is a rather unique statute. It was written by practical conservationists in the United States Bureau of Biologi cal Survey, and was passed by Congress in 1925. The national gov- ernment is in absolute administra- tive control. The Biological Survey is largely an expert and scientific Federal organization employed to advise the national and state gov ernments on matters pertaining to game and fur-bearing animals and birds of all kinds.
 "The Survey laid the foundation for effective conservation by pro- hibiting the taking or killing of any game animals, fur-bearers or birds, except as permitted by the Secre- tary of Agriculture. Proceeding on the theory that he would not per sonally possess knowledge of local conditions necessary to an in- telligent administration, the law set up an advisory body known as the Alaska Game Commission. This is composed of four resident members -one from each of the four judi cial divisions of Alaska-appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, and a fifth member who is the Alaska agent of the Biological Survey. He acts as Executive Officer, directs the force of game wardens and other employees, and has control of the enforcement of all regula- tions.
 Twelve Months Required
 "The law sets up distinction be- tween residents and non-residents. This places a period of twelve months actual domicile in the Ter ritory before residence can be claimed.
 "The reason for the distinction between residence and non-resi- dence. and for the twelve months qualification period, is found In

GREATER SAFETY TO vOYACERS ON OCEAN NOW SEEN
Benefits Derived from Ex- pansion of Federal
 S.S. Inspections

WASHINGTON, D. O., NOV. 20.- Enhanced safety in sea travel is assured as result of the material expansion of the Steamboat Inspec- tion Service, according to the an- nual report of Supervising Inspec- tor General D. K. Hoover, to the Secretary of Commerce made pub lie today The report shows that 45 new assistant inspectors have been added to the organization's staff which will permit more fre- quent reinspections of vessels not heretofore properly covered. For many years, it is pointed out, excur- sion and ferry steamers in addition to an annual inspection have been subjected to three separate rein spections. This same system will henceforth be applied to all pas senger vessels both foreign and American, procedure which was impossible with the former person. mel of the service.

Juneau Ne,vspapermn's Way Of Explaining Bro,vn Bear Lac Changes Ideas of Rabid Critic

Alaska's seasonal industries, which require thousands of workers to be brought in for a few months each year. A large percentage of these go to Alaska every year, but do not remain except during the late spring, summer and early fall months. They would take tremen- dous toll of game and fur-bearing animal resources of the Territory if some check were not imposed. The twelve months residence clause, combined with the comparatively high nonresident hun ing and trapping license fees, does the trick effectively.
 "The Alaska Game Commission meets once each year and drafts recommendation for regulations on all species of game and fur bearers. These are submitted to the Secre- tary of Agriculture through the Bio logical Survey, and those which he approves and signs become regu- lations which have the force and effect of law.

Meets in Juneau

NfNCto III Oohtce
 "The Commission meets annually in Juneau, Alaska's picturesque little capital. Here the Commission has it's headquarters in which a record of the resources under it's advisory jurisdiction is kept. It keeps an ac- count of all the game animals killed by non-residents and all of the fur bearers taken, this information be- ing secured from reports required of hunters, guides and trappers. It also has reports from wardens on the game killed by residents and data on the state of the game re- sources as to abundance or scarcity.
 Tt has been my good fortune to attend, in the capacity of news paper reporter, every session of the Commission since it's creation in 1925. To these sessions come four men from very widely separated To- calities.
 For instance, at the 1929 meet ing, the President of the Commis- sion. Dr. William H. Chase, an arr dent conservationist, came from Cordova, gateway to the Copper River valley and located on Prince William Sound. Irving Mex. Reed, keen student of wild life. came from Fairbanks. Frank P. Williams, pio- neer reindeer breeder and mer- chant. came from St. Michael. on Norton Sound in northwest Alaska. William R. Selfridge, timberman and sportsman, came from Ketchi- kan on the southern border. The fifth member, H w Terhune, Ex- ecutive Officer, maintains his resi- dence in Juneau. but spends most of his time in the field studying

Among the youger crop Of golfers who sprouted up from nowhere in the late and very chaotic National Amateur Golf championship at Msrion, none has developed so con- sistent a penchant for the spectacu- lar as Maurice J. Mccarthy, jr., of the Green Meadow Country club, Harrison, New York.
 Black -browed, pugnacious with a nose dented like that of a retired L5go-, Mccarthy inserted himself into more dramatic situations on one day at Merton than most of the others combined.
 On the second qualifying day, the former intercollegiate and present metropolitan champion holed ouf a spoon shot for an ace on the 215-yard 17th hole to cause almost as much excitement as the elimina- ton of the defending champion Jimmy" Johnston.
 Late that evening, Mccarthy be came embroiled in the playof among II players seeking the eight remaining qualifying places. Dark ness stopped this melee and early the next morning he qualified anc then the fun began.
 As a pipe-opener, Mccarthy wen 19 holes to beat Watts Gum, the ,l1o of Thus warmed up, the New Yorkel took on George Won Elm, next tt Jones the tournaments outstanding favorite and the runner up for qualifying honors, and beat tn, coast star at the 28th, after tel extra holes of the most dramatic golf any championship has ever seen.
 This stunt not only broke the old record, but doubled it, for the longest previous extra hole match went only five holes.
 Some day Mccarthy may bow 'em all over and win the cham. pionship He is only B now, bu' he had world of experience ant lie isn't apprehensive about tackline any shot or any opponent. Hi ganne has been soundly taught ane developed by his father, profes- sional.

 Von Elm finished his last amateur tournament without shaking tho iinx that has pursued him on tho first day of match play ever since he beat Bobby Jones for the title ih 1926 at Baltusrol. Won Elm was eliminated in the second round, in defense of his crown by Harry Legg in 1927, and put out in the first round of 1928 by Arthur (Ducky) Yates.
