BAY
 FISHING NOT
 CLOSED ISSUE
Delegate Dimond Is Trying Hard to Have Limited
 Catch Taken in Area

WASHINGTON, April 6.-iSpecial CorreSpcndence)-The Delegate has been working actively to have the fishing regulations which entirely close the Bristol Bay area to sal mon fishing during the coming season changed to permit only suf- ficient fishing to be done to furnish employment to the local residents who are dependent on this work for their livelihood, and for time it was hoped that this could be done as it is believed that such regulations would limit the catch sufficiently to provide escapement enough to guarantee propagation of the salmon of this cycle.
 Announcement
 However, the Secretary of Com merce has announced: That while the present regulations dssued in January, 1935) which close the Bris- tol Bay area completely, to salmon fishing during the coming season will not at this time be relaxed, nevertheless, if after the salmon run begins it transpires that the run is sufficient to permit fishing consistent with conservation of the fish, the Department will under such circumstances open the Bay to limited commercial fishing. The present regulations which closed the bay completely are necessitated by the excessive depletion in the five year cycle of fish which is due to return this year to the Bristol Bay area. This cycle has been so great ly depleted by fishing in the past that there is grave danger that if fishing is not stopped for one sea- son, the cycle may be completely destroyed for commercial fishing.
 To Extend Relief
 ''The policy of the Relief Admin lSlId IdLlOll lo SQCll do LO SlHc dSSuI- ance that the Alaskan residents of the Bristol Bay area, insofar as the closing of the Bay may deprive hem of employment this year, will be taken care of by the Relief Ad- ministration. This SC ms better Government economy than to per- init the wholesale destruction of al highly valuable run of fish. Also it is to the interest of the Alaskan themselves that this run of fish should not be destroyed for commercial fishing, since if it is destroyed they will be deprived al- together of livelihood in each re- curing year of this cycle"
 It is not likely that any canner- iese will be able to start up in the short time that will be available if it is found that the fish are run

JUNEAU vETOES
 KETCH|KAN CCC
 INCREASE IDEA
Chamber Upholds Execur tive Boards Decision
 at Luncheon Today

Because the Forest Service does not favor such move, Juneau's Chamber of Commerce went on rec ord today as declining to join a similar group in Ketchikan in pe- titioning for an increased allotment of Civilian Conservation Corps work CTS for Alaska. This action was talk en at Bailey's Cafe this noon when the members approved the Tues day Executive Board meeting report.
 That the Forest Service does not approve of the First City's idea for an enlarged eco force for the Ter ritory was evident as Wellman Hol- brook, Assistant Regional Forester, told members of the present CCC and Forest Service setup.
 MT Holbrook first explained that, in the States, CCC workers are talk en from large cities only from the ages of IS to 25. They must be sim gle and must give $25 a month to dependents. However, in Alaska, MT. Holbrook said that these con- ditions have been waived.
 Quota Is 325
 Originally our quota here was put at 325 men," MT. Holbrook said. However, only once in the two years we have been operating the eco for the government have we had the quota filled Our camps waver in enrolment from 19 to 80 men.
 Therefore, it is illogical to ask for quota of 600 men, double the figure we are allowed now. If we were allowed it, undoubtedly we would find it necessary to use the system in vogue in the States: that is, $25 of every $50 pay check would be sent out of the Territory to dependents. This would be a fact because, in order to fill that 600 quota, unemployed young men from the States would have to be shipped here"
 MT. Holbrook went on to explain that under the present public works relief bill, the Forest Service ex- poets to receive enough money to carry out contemplated projects. AL askan labor will be provided for under the Forest Service, he de- clared, and, if an excess of labor is found, it will be turned into the eco camps.
 To Change Wages
 The Forest Service plans, he said, to shift its employees to a pre- vailing wage" scale. Under this system, younger. inexperienced men who are unable to earn prevailing wages will be placed in CCC camps for training along lines such as trail building, powder handling and timber surveying.
 MT. Holbrook's talk really came as part of the business portion of the meeting. Another business

DARLING IRKED AT FAILURE OF
 GAME PROGRAM
Biological Survey Chief Is
 Ready to Quit Unless ! Matters Corrected
SAYS CONGRESS GAVE
 ONLY. LIP SERVICE
Ding Charges Efforts Have Been Blocked
 from Beginning

WASHINGTON, April 18.-(Copy- lighted by the Associated Press, 1935)-J. N. Ding" Darling, Bio logical Survey Chief, yesterday as- sailed the Administration for failing to carry out his wild game conser- vation program.
 Darling said he has been at work for more than a year without being able to stir more than a lip service from Congressmen, Cabinet members and other government of- ficials.
 Darling said he is ready to quit unless matters are corrected very rapidly and very soon."
 w Program Sidetracked
 The Biological Survey Chief said there had been great expectancy built up among sportsmen and con- servationists but despite the SUD- port of the President the program from the very beginning has been blocked, ha mpered, sidetracked, pigeon -holed until it begins to ap- pear almost useless to continue"
 As an illustration. Darling said Congress provided the Department of Agriculture with $l7,500 to in- crease the number of game wardens in Alaska. but did not provide the transportation needs. and added they had enough game wardens for game law enforcement in Alaska, but not money even to buy gasoline for four boats built last year for patrol work.
 No Money Set Aside
 Darling also complained there was no money in the Work Relief meas ure set aside for waterfowl and game restoration although such projects would provide work.

NEW GOLD RUSH
 FORE FOR CASS|AR AREA
Capt. Strong, Harlin Tell of Quartz Veins Found
 at McDame Creek

The North Country's next i'm portant gold rush locality may be the Cassiar district of northern British Columbia, with the focal point of interest centering around McDame Greek, tributary of the Dease River. At least, that is what Capt. William Strong and J. c. Jack) Harlin are telling friends here this week. The pair, weather beaten and hardened from a win ter in that area, are resting at their headquarters in the Alaskan Hotel after arriving here Monday via dog team and rowboat.
 It took Capt. Strong and Harlin three weeks to travel the 250 miles --as the airplane flies-between Juneau and McDame Creek. They arrived at Tulsequah, B. C., joined G. F. Scott there and then rowed to Juneau.
 It's Worth It.
 But those rigorous days of travel and frigid weeks of blood chilling weather in the 1Cassiar winter were worth itl Capt. Bill and his friend, Jack, think they've struck it.
 Here's the history. as Capt. Strong told it to an Empire re- porter:
 Tn early years. the Cassiar was famous for It's rich placer diggings.

N ORTH SEA IS PALAT|AL SHIP
 ON ALASKA RUN
Vessel Is Ma king Initial Voyage to Southeast
 Alaska Ports
The North Sea is scheduled to arrive at Douglas at o'clock tomorrow morning and will ar rive in Juneau two hours later.

Setting new high standard of service and convenience for northern travellers, the steamship North Sea is now on her maiden voyage from Seattle to Southeast Alaska ports. As running mate of the well known and popular mo- torship Northland, she will sail from Seattle on alternate Mon- days, enabling the Northland Transportation Company to furnish fast weekly passenger, freight and express service of the highest type.
 The North Sea, formerly the Ad- miral Peoples, was built in 1918 for the U. s. Shipping Board as cargo ship, but with lines laid out for conversion to passenger service. In 1924 she was rebuilt and fitted out in Philadelphia at cost of about one-half million dollars as lux urious coasting vessel, and placed on the Miami run where she be- came immensely popular. When the Florida boom collapsed in 1927, she was placed on the Portland-San Francisco route, from which she was taken by her present owners last winter.
 Built of Steel
 The North Sea is three hundred and twelve feet long, forty-five feet wide, over 5000 gross register tons, and her 1700 horsepower gives her better than twelve knots per hour loaded. Built of steel with double bottom throughout, and with ample bulkheads, there is comforting as- surance of safety to the traveller and shipper. A rating of Al" by the American Bureau of Shipping is a further guarantee that the best of material and workmanship entered into her construction. The North Sea has accommodations for 347 passengers, 145 of which are

School Workmen To
 Get Food, Clothing
Everything But Financial Help to Be Given on Wasl-
 ington Project Harris Criticizes WPA

Denying a report that the city could do nothing for the WPA workmen on the Washington school project who are awaiting pay after being transferred from the EZRA, Mrs. Margaret Verdon, director of the public welfare department, said today that the men would be given everything but financial assistance. She said she hsd made this promise to spokesman for the group who called at her office yesterday.
 They will receive supplementary aid in the way of food, clothing and medical attention if required, such as is given to other applicants for relief, she said. The men com plained yesterday that they had re- ceived no pay since October Il, shortly after the job was trans- ferred, and that they had been told by WPA authorities that salaries could not be paid until Oct. 20.
 Both Mrs. Verdon and William M. Harris, EZRA administrator, this morning explained the pufported arrangement" whereby the federal government was supposed to have made provision for the men in the interval between payroll transfers.
 Funds are allotted to Inunicipali- ties if it can be shown that 1t will be necessary to revert to direct re- lief in order to care for the men in the meantime. The grant is wholly for food and incidentais, however ,and cannot be paid to workers in the form of wages.
 MT. Harris denied @ statement made by the New Haven office of the WPA to the effect that the EZRA was supposed to pay the men where there was a delay.
 He also criticized the WPA pay- roll schedule under which workers are paid every two weeks. He said it was going to be "very difficult" for men accustomed to being paid weekly to adapt themselves to the change.
 The state EZRA has filed appli- cation for a November allocation of $750,000, in preparation for a continuance of the EZRA work-re- lief program. The additional funds will be necessary because of the
