With the price still holding at 6 cents, catches during the month of June are designated as "very fair" by local cannerymen and the quality as remaining high.

Alaska Has Too Much Government

Delegate James WickerSham Ci Alaska, arrived last week en- route to Juneau, where he will spend the next several months campaigning for reelection to tLat post.
 Delegate Wickersham said to newspaper interviewers that the crying need of Alaska was in dependence, local government and local control of it's natural resources. Given those rights, he declared, Alaska will make itself.
 At present, the Alaska dele gate said, Alaska has more gov- ernment per capita and has suf- fered under more harmful Con- gressional limitations than any other American territory and has been almost wholly neglect ed by it's national guardians and like Topsy just growed up.'
 Until Alaska is granted local independence from government bureaus" Wickersham continued, Alaska is just marking time and nobody seems to care a damn what may become of it although they know that in spite of all handicaps it is propor- tionately the most valuable as set that the United States owns"
 Delegate Wickersham said that the reindeer herds in Alas ka had become so numerous that they were now eating up the ranges and that lack of markets and capital make it impossible to ship deer out of the territory WIllIe ldck or patronage VIII make it impossible to keep them there much longer, "all of which is just one more problem facing Alaska, and Alaskans are the only ones equipped by personal knowledge and experience to solve these problems"
 Delegate Wickersham does not consider that Alaska was unfair ly treated in the recent congress sional appropriations, consider ing the general slashing of all budgets, but said that Alaska

Gamer Urges
 Season Change

J. R. Hickman, Ketchikan
 business man and former can-
 rery operator, and at one time
 Senator in the Territorial Legis- lature recently discussed the fishery situation. With William !. Paul also of Ketchikan, MT.
 Hickman discussed the situation and declared that more "leeway" should be given the seiners in
 the fishing regulations. The two
 men who have measured swords
 on the fisheries question on
 more than one occasion in the past were agreed in the main points of the plan which would allow necessary escapement of salmon while giving the "seiners more of an even break"
 Traps" said MT. Hickman, "should be closed at least two weeks before the season closes for seiners. It is generally known that seiners cannot catch fish in paying numbers until they begin 70 school near streams. Whole bays, in some instances, are clos ed, which would afford fishing U seiners. It does not matter where the fish are caught, either by trap or seine, if the proper escapement is allowed and pro- yioing fishing is not allowed in the mouth of streams in fresh water"
 Trap-caught fish are now be- ing canned in Ketchikan. The pink salmon are running IA to the case; chums with the run approximating fifty-ffty. The average of pinks last year was 121a to the case which was above normal.
 The Ketchikan Packing Com pany, one day last week, ran through 5000 fish; the Ward Cove Packing Company ran through 1,2OO which was the second delivery-the first being 5000.
 The Beegle Packing Company and the Independent Cannery are also operating ir Ketchikan. No prices has yet been set for seine caught fish but it is ex- pected that the prevailing price will be around 112 and 2 cents for pinks and the only offering so far is 10 cents for sockeyes. The Canadians are paying SO cents for sockeye and the fisher men are said to be striking for 40 cents.

Ray Barbuti, the only American to win a foot-race "on the flat in the 1928 Olympics, will not dc any galloping for Uncle Sam al Los Angeles. The great Syracuse athlete has hung up his spikes for good and the only chasing he does now is in pursuit of insurance prospects.
 Didn't he agree with us that the U. s. A. had good prospects of re- gaining some lost prestige by romp- ing off with the Olympic short dis tance races this year up to and in- cluding the 800 meters?
 "I'll go so tar as to say I think we should win back the sprint championships, even if Percy Will Hams is back in shape to run fo, Canada and defend his titles" said Earbuti, but doubt very much if we win either the 400 or 800 me- ters Beyond that it will just be a romp for Nurmi and the rest o1 the Films"
 The reasons?
 Well, it looks like we have lost Vic Williams, the Southern Califor- nian who equalled the world 44O record at Franklin Field, due to ill., ness.
 Ben Eastman of Stanford is our best prospect at the middle dis tances and he may come through but he has not had much. experi- ence.
 You will remember that as good a quarter miller as Bud Spencer also of Stanford, did not even make the 400-meter team in 1928. The best he could do was get on the relay squad.
 My main reason for thinking we won't win these races, however, is that other countries, especially England, have better runners.
 T understand Douglas Lowe, win ner of the 800 in the last two Olympiads, is training for a come back. You have seen him run-and howl He's the smoothest foot racer ever watched and grand sportsman, to boot.
 Another great English runner is G. H. Rampling, the quarter -miler who has been running close to worlds record time. The Germans have some fine quarter and hail.

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla, Jan. 30-After 35 years of using the white mans rifle and shotgun, Seminole Indian hunters are going back to the bow and arrow.
 The reason, said Stanley Hansen, friend and advisor of the red men, is because the Indians in many cases no longer have the money to buy ammunition.
 Continued inroads of sportsmen on their hunting grounds and fires caused by unusually dry weather, have made the life of the Semin- ole huntsman increasingly difficult .she past year.

 The worlds record is AT seconds, held by Spencer of Stamford, and so far as I know this is the first time any runner. even in a relay, where he has the benefit of galloping start, has ever broken" that time.
 Lord Burleigh ran on the same team with Rampling. The British were timed in 3:146, within a sec ond of the official worlds record set by an American all-star Olym- pic combination at London in 1928.
