 REGULATION OF
 TRAPS SOUGHT
Ziegler Memorial Asks Con- gress to Give Legislature
 Power of Control

Declaring that the use of fish traps initiates pre- jud dicially against the development of the Territory" memorial was in- troduced in the House today by Representative A. H. Ziegler ask ing Congress to amend the fish cries law so as ito permit the Legislature to prescribe and de- fine the apparatus and methods to be employed in" the taking of sal- mon, and to give to the Territory full power and authority to ad- minister the fisheries to that ex- tent"
 Commenting later on the me- mcrial, MT. Ziegler said it was not his view that such power be used to abolish siaps but that the Legislature should have the power to regulate their use, construction, size and other matters affecting the fisheries and Alaska labor and business generally.
 The memorial asserts that the quantity of salmon taken by traps in Alaska waters is gradually in- creasing It alleges further that "the packers of canned salmon have announ..d curtailment of their packs for the season of 1881 now approaching which will elimi- nate the necessity of using seine caught fish, and as result of which the fishermen and seiners will be deprived of an opportunity to earn a livelihood"
 The use of traps has prevented development and has and will continue to retard the upbuilding of a permanent population in the Territory" and great and gen. eral dissatisfaction exists among the people of Alaska over the man. ner in which the fisheries of the Territory are being regulated . and the ends of justice would be better served were the Legislature of the Territory given the same powers over the subject as were formerly possessed by other Ter ritories and are now possessed by the States;" and finally, the peo- pie of Alaska have the welfare of their country at heart and are fully capable of administering their own affairs" the memorial sets forth.

 crate and maintain the sec-

 the system" their answer
