Knitting for Girls Urged.

"I regard knitting as a wonderful
eoother in life" said the Duchess of
Atholl. when presenting knitting prizes
ut Blackheath High School for Girls, in
London recently. 81 think knitting per-
forms the same office for women as the
cigarette or pipe does for a man, but
st is an infinitely better way don't
find that you give prizes for knitting in
English schools, although give them
regularly for sewing and knitting in
Scotland" Now some are wondering
If the girls would not have preferred
smokes for prizes.

After a year spent in solitude in the

Of the Bureau of Research and Informal

Sutton went alone to Southampton

study bird life there. A radio receiv-

receiving communication from the
outside world.
Word Of Sutton's safety was received

saying he was well and on his way
home. He had not been heard from
since last August.

THE LOMEN BRAND

Alaskan" writing from Fair banks evidently has been brand ed by the LomenS. No man, with an iota of fairness or under standing of the reindeer situa- tionmakes any attempt to de lend the deprcdations of Eskimo stock by the various Lomen com panies.
 Just recently, a former en- ployee of the Lomen's was in our office. He said, T have read you articles on the LOmen'S and the reindeer situation and l am telling you that every word of it is true. The half of it has never been told. I know-tWo years of intimate knowledge of how the Lomen's do it."
 As between this man who came unsolicited to commend us for speaking in defense of a helpless people and one who has not the courage to sign his own name to his statements, we be- lieve not the man of saffron hue.

ALASKA REINDEER QUESTION

Fairbanks, Alaska, June 12, J. For some time I have had it in my mind to write to you about an article that appeared in The Progressive of March 1st. I was very much surprised to read an editorial entitled An Appeal from the Land of the Arctic Cir cle." This is from one E. B. O'Connor of Nome and refers to the exploitation of the Eskimo reeindeer herds in Alaska by the white people.
 It looks to me as though your editorial staff simply grabbed this thing without being inter ested in the truth of it-and made no investigation.
 Last summer I spent consider able time in Eskimo camps dur ing the season of marking the deer and from personal observa- ton know that the. statements contained in the letter which your paper so innocently copied, are incorrect. The development of the industry of the north, of course, can only be done by whites, and it is an industry that takes tremendous capital. To prepare the meat properly for market necesSitateS modern lab oratOrieS and cold storage. The material to build here in the north must be shipped up from the states, freight is extremely high. In fact, any project in the north is costly. Up-tO-date, the Lomens are the only people who have gone into the industry and have kept at it. They have own ed deer now for some Is years and up to this time have made no profit.
 During the last year they em- ployed 497 Eskimos and 40 whites with an expenditure of $209,000 You can judge for yourself what this would mean to the native people. They no longer travel on the sea by ther own power, but now own out-bOard motors, buy yictrolas, accordians and have all the luxury in foods that they care to work for.
 MT. O'Connor is married to 9 native woman and is one of those Irishmen who like better to stil up trouble than anything else Should the paper be interested in any further information on the situation in the north, would suggest they communicate with the Biological Survey, Washing ton, D. c. They have good men in the field who know the north. ern problem.-"An Alaskan"

SOME FALSE IMPRESSIONS
 CORRECTED
By MagnuS NOrdstrOm

A considerable amount of mis- understanding due to the Bureau 0f Fisheries in their regulations for catching king salmon and cohOeS with hook and line. The Alaska Trollers' Association has .ried to make corrections with put success; in fact their sug- 3estiCns seem to have been ignOr- d altogether.
 In this article I shall endeav- )r to explain how there is no comparison with the type of gear We trollers are using with other ;ypes of gear used in catching
 almon in Alaska.
 Everybody knows that catch ng salmon by trolling is done with hooks and lines. We troll ITS have no way of compelling he salmon to take our hooks. We are just trying to fool the salmon, but instead of fooling the salmon, we are often the fooled.
 The English satirist, Jonathan Swift, two hundred years ago, gave the right definition of an gling--"A hook and line on one end of the rod and a fool on the other"
 The troller's method of catch ing salmon with hook and line nas no interference with traps, seines, Or gill nets. During the regular trolling season (from the month of May to November) the trolling is done mostly on the outside waters. Of the thou sand miles of the coast line of Alaska, we are only trolling from Dixon Entrance to Cape Spencer, Ia distance of two or three hun dred miles. There are two kinds of salmon that we trollers catch, the king salmon and echoes.
 Very little is known concern ing the habits of king salmon. It is commonly believed that the king salmon we trollers catch are just feeding along the coast. MT. Henry O'Malley claims that they belong to the Columbia Riv- Ter, meaning that restrictions must be placed upon Alaska trollers. But he fOrgets that there are no restrictions placed upon trolling on the whole coast of British Columbia and upon the Cape Flattery trollers whose gear the king salmon must eS- cape before the salmon reaches the Columbia River.
 In regards to the echoes, very little percentage is caught by the trollers in proportion to the oth CT types of gear. As soon as the echoes reach the inside waters and salmon streams, we trollers are not able to catch them be- cause they quit feeding.
 These facts make it ridiculous for MT. O'Malley to place any re- strictions on Alaska trollers-the regulations are ineffective with out similar regulations in Brit ish Columbia, even if we were to grant that the king salmon be- longed to the Columbia River.
 But when a joke becomes a se-
The Alaskan., 1930-08-08

rious matter, then it is time that we all set politics and creeds aside and face the facts as they are. am not speaking for any personal gains by relieving these restrictions on trolling. I am speaking on behalf of the resi- dents of Alaska, who have in vested in trolling boats and gear every cent they have and then some. Residents of Alaska who are trying to support a family with their income from trolling.
 Before the year 1929, the week ly closed period, and also certain i inlets closed to commercial fish l ing were already effective on trollerS without objection from the trollers. Last year, more re- 5trictions were placed upon the trollers. We were prohibited from trolling with power boats during the months of January, February and March.
 We took the matter up with the Bureau of Fisheries through cur Delegate to Congress, the Hon. Dan Sutherland. We stated the difficulties we were operat ing under. Later on more re- strictions were placed upon the l trollers.
 First the trollers proposed sub stitutes for winter closing.
 Then Behm Canal was closed for trolling during the months of May and June.
 Then additional closing on trolling from August 24 to Sep tCmber 30 was made effective.
 The reason given by the Bu- rcau of Fisheries for closing trolling from August 24 to Sep lember 30 was that they said many of the trollers go to the streams with nets during the fall season to catch echoes.
 The Bureau seems to argue that by prohibiting fishing al together, no violations occur. We maintain that the violations of law are very few in number con- Sidering the large number of trollerS there are. Would the Bureau of Fisheries close down Iall seining because a few Seiners violate the law? Or all trap fishing because trapmen violate the law? Why not continue the same patrol that protects the fish stream during the seining and trap fishing season and thus permit the law abiding trOller 10 make his honest living instead of shutting down the season and making the honest trOller suf- fer with the dishonest one?
 The sea-lions which are pro- tected by the Bureau of Fish cries eat more salmon than all that are caught by the trollers during the closed season. The authorities of British Columbia !lecOgnize this menace for they send out official boats to destroy these Sealions which MT. O'Mal- ley protects. And when we com plained of this fact and of the dangers these great animals are to our boats as they often sur round us, the Bureau advises us that we may kill them when we discover them taking fish from our gear.
 Then the Bureau of Fisheries reduces our trolls from six lines to four lines-a reduction of one third, and except for a small space around Cape Ommaney the troller must stop fishing in August.
 It seems to us that we are made the special objects of the Bureaus discrimination. Proof of this is in the Janaury number of the Pacific Fisherman where in it is shown that the percent ages of the salmon catch by the several types of gear in south IL T. H-1
