tion of Sec. 5 of the law of 1924

tion of Sec 5 of the law of 1924. For when any salmon are remov- ed from any trap, the salmon are taken or killed; not by the use of gaff, hand rod or spear for personal use but for sale and barter; for the commercializa- tion of that salmon. Therefore, every operator of a trap during these days of fishing is violating this law.
 Where Are the Officers?
 We charge that United States Commissioner of Fisheries, Hen ry O'Malley is relict in his sworn duty to properly administer the fishery laws in Alaska; that ev cry deputy fish warden, stream watchman who does not file complaint against any and every operator who violates this sec~ tion, is relict in his sworn duty to perform his duties "WithOut fear or favor"

KAHNE INSANE, IS COM MI TIED TO SANITARIUM
 
iHaines Man Who Shot In- dian Fisherman Last
 Week Found Insane

Antone Kahne, Haines rancher. brought here last week for deten- tion in the local Federal jail on a shooting charge, was yesterday ad- judged insane following a lunacy inquiry in the United States Com missioner's Court, and committed to Morningside Sa rum by Judge Charles Sey.
 Kahne was taken south today on the steamer Aleutian by Deputy United States Marshal c. J. Sulli- van, Haines, to be placed in the Portland institution.
 Kahne was arrested last week after he had shct Andrew Jackson, an Indian fisherman of Haines. He was bound over to the Federal Grand Jury on a charge of shoot- ing with intent to kill. Jackson was treated at the Army hospital at Chilkoot Barracks for bullet wounds in his right breast and arm
 His assailant was said by witt neSses to have been acting queerly for several years but had been con- sidered harmless. Jackson. who op- erated power boat, attempted to give Kahne tow and the latter, waving him off, grabbed a rifle and shot. The bullet struck Jack son in the right breast, was de- flected off the bone and pierced his right arm.
 Kahne was resident of the Haines district for about ten years. He was member of the garrison at the Army post and was dis charged from the service about sev- en years ago, since that time squat ting on some ground near the town and doing a little farming and odd jobs to earn a livelihood.

 Preliminary investigations of the survey indicate this years wildfowl hatch will be the smallest on rec ord Game birds of North America are confronted with the most seri- ous situation in U s. History, bio logical survey officials contend.
 Shorter shooting seasons and oth- CT restrictions to reduce the kill of waterfowl this year have been au- thorized by Arthur M. Hyde, secre- tary of agriculture, in an effort to conserve the supply of game birds.

by that prince of good fellows,
Senator j. V. Weber, more
familiarly recognized as "Vin''
Weber by his host of friends
throughout the state. The

and does not belle it's name.
1t is devoted to telling of the
Inconsistencies of the present
Farmer-Labor administration.
1t is not one of these fly-by-
night sheets which bob up at
every campaign to shake down
the unwarry Office seeker but
is published for the sole pur-
pose of intelligently discussing
the promise-failings of the adj
ministration. The editor chal-
lenges anyone to find an un-
truth in any of his statements
and he makes plenty of them.

During the time he was quartering
at Eastwood Fishing Lodge, Carhart
made a trip into the Quetico to little
visited lakes of the interior of Hunters
island. Joe Pluth, Jack Sumpter, Har-
rison Sletten and Joe Terzini, all of
the Wilderness Outfitters, were men,
berS of this party. Material collected
will be the basis for articles which Car
hart will submit to Outdoor Life, Ma
ture, The National Geographic Maya
zine, The Saturday Eevening Post, The
Christian Science Monitor and Field
and Stream. He also collected data
tor several short stories of the north
woods and for a book length novel
which he is writing. Besides being
nationally recognized authority on city
planning and park planning and as
writer, Carhart is recognized as a
leading conservationist. His extensive
study of recreational projects in the
west and his position in the outdoor
field makes it of particular significance
that he should choose to write series
of articles on this section, should choose
it as setting for his next book length
novel, and that he believes so
thoroughly in the future of the recrea-
tional-tourist development of the Su-
perior region of which Ely is the
central hub.

Ernest Reiff, the American
Legion member of the conser-
walton commission from St.
Paul has ideas on the subject
of conservation, which are as
sound as any of those promul-
gated and sounder than the
majority. In his address at
Virginia he made the very per-
tinent statements: ITO let
iron ore remain in the ground
would be folly. To let water
fall without utilizing it's power
would not be conservation but
waste. To permit land use
less for agriculture and of
little value to forestry go un-
used when it might contribute
to the industrial development
through impounding of water
would be to yield to fanaticsm.
Conservation does not mean
miserly boarding"

study of the projects and were master

included in the budget for next
year, Ely will get in on the div
ision. 1t is however doubtful
if there will be levies made for
special purposes. Some OBJ
jections were even made to
the appropriation for county
fairs. The argument was pre-
sented that the county fairs
at Hibbing and Proctor should
be dispensed with next year.
We remember distinctly the
time Duluth had the county
fair and the very unsuccessful
termination of this show in the
lower end of the county. Hib-
bing picked it up after its de-
mise in Duluth and made a
success of it. Soon after the
success of the fair at Hibbing
was assured, Proctor and Dull
nth had to have a county fair
and now we have two each
year while the one at Hibbing
would suffice. If any fair is
to be dispensed with, let it be
the one in the lower end of the
county. The Hibbing fair has
a stateswide reputation among
county fairs.
