THE NIlJKLUJK.
 TRAIL
(BY F. l.. BARTLETTl

WASHINGTON, Dec. g, With the opening of public hearings set for Monday, there are still two schools of thought with respect to whether the salmon industry should come under the master fisheries code or under the canner's code. Delegate Dimond has placed him. self on record as favoring the fish cries code. He believes that Is logical to assume that he inter- ests of Alaska fisheries will be better protected in that manner than if only they were to be class ed with an industry of which they would be only a minor part.
 The public hearings will give full and complete opportunity for all sides to be heard on all mat ters of controversy and further more those Alaskans who have not been able to come to Washington and yet properly feel they are en- titled to make their opinion known can do so after the recovery board for Alaska has begun to function.
 Hugh J. Wade, deputy adminis- trator for the National Recovery Administration, who VII head the Alaska board, has delayed his de- parture for the Territory in order that he may attend the hearings here and have intimate knowledge of all the proceedings before he goes north.

 The twenty-frst amendment to the Constitution, repeating the eighteenth amendment, will apply to Alaska just as soon as Delegate Dimond can rush bill through Congress repeating the bone dry law and the Volstead act in it's application to the Territory. The bone dry law was repealed by the Territorial legislature when it met last spring, but a federal judge subsequently ruled that authority to legislate on that subject resided soley wi h Congress.
 The bill which Delegate Dimond has prepared for Introduction in Congress provides not only for re- peal of the bone dry law and the Volstead act-but gives the Terr- itorial legislature full authority to pl escribe regulations and restric- tions under which intoxicating li- quors can be manufactured or sold. The legislature is empowered to delegate its au hority in that res- peet to any board or comm .ssien which it may create and it is ex- pressly provided that the board of liquor control created by the 1893 legislature shall retain all powers conferred upon it by the act which established it. Penalties are pres scribed for those violating the rules and regulations which may be de- cided upon by the board The maximum penalty would be a year in jail or fine of $500.
 When Congress will act upon the measure cannot be foretold with any degree of certainty. Speaker Rainey had promised to bring up the District of Columbia bill reg ulating liquor and repeating the Volstead act the second day of the coming session. If that plan is followed through the Delegate is hopeful that action can be taken on the Alaska bill at the same time. Of course, the Senate would then have to consider the bill and from there it VIII go to the Presi- dent for approval.

 It was the clubs annual fishing contest, and two dozen fishermen were taking part. One of them had brought with him stone jar containing half gallon of some thing stronger than water.
 The contest had been in progress for an hour whe the owner of the jar remembered a friend at the extreme end of the line of contest ants. In moment of generosity he called boy and told him to take the jar to MT. Robinson, with a request that he should have pull"

 The 20-year period beginning in 1910 saw lode output totalling $2,O00,00O and in envis,oning rapid acceleration of production from that MT. Hill undoubtedly looks for increasing emphasis on hard rock properties in the interior.

 Scores of Alaskan power boat and star route mail bids were open ed this week
 While the amounts bid in all eases have been assembled for com parison, it was said at the post office department that it will be some time before contracts are re- -warded. The bids must be care fully examined to determ ne if bidders have conformed with the conditions laid down by the depar. ment and careful check has to be made of contrasting bids where alternate tenders were invited for the same generals routes This is particularly true in instances where aviation concerns submitted one general bid covering a long route and those intending to use other means of transportation af- forded proposals covering the same route in several distinct sections.
 It is hoped that by next week more definite information will be obta nable.
