RIVER SALMON
 THREATENED BY NEW DAM

Many difficulties are faced in preserving the salmon industry ot the Columbia river attendant upon the construction of the Bonneville dam. To date $3,2O0,0O0 has been set aside by the government for the construction of fishways and fish locks at the dam to provide ade- quate means of getting the fish over the dam into the upper river. whence they may find their way to the regular spawning grounds, but t is estimated that another million dollars will be needed to carry out She proposed plans.
 That this huge expenditure is warranted is shown by the estimate of the value of the fisheries indus try to the states of Oregon and Washington. and Idaho to les ser extent. The fishing business in the YiVer alone Is worth approxi- ...ate y $I0,000,000 a year to the at~uLs of Washington and Oregon ,sGi.e Il is estimated that the value of the fisheries in the open ocean, DUt dependent upon the ifs Il spawned in the Columbia river and it's tributaries is another $10,000,- 000, the greater part of which would be lost if the salmon are shut off from the upper river. For these reasons the government engineers have been brought to see the ad- visibility of spending a compara- lively large sum for preservation of the industry In addition to the fisheries the stream is of tremen- dous value to the Pacific northwest in many other ways, recreational, etc., in fact enough in the aggrt- gate to equal annually the capita ized cost of the dam, or abont $31, 100000.
 Two methods of getting the fish over the dam are being construct ed one by gravity fishways up which the fish are expected to find their way under their own power: the other by purely artificial means. The latter is no moro nor less than elevators which will hoist the salmon over the dam. This me- thod is almost entirely experiment tai and those acquainted witE the ways of fish are not more than mildly optimistic as to it's success, though it really follows method which has proven successful in com mercial fish traps, where the sal int tpt pocket and hoisted or "brailed' out

sell to intoxicated persons and ha- bitual drunkards and minors? That children will not be admitted even when accompanied by parents or other adults? That shameful and indecent department Git HAS been permitted) shall be stopped? That liquor store owners who have been negligent, also, will observe exist ing laws?
 It will not be possible to enact liquor legislation that will satisfy all, it is conceded, but there is a large majority who want decency and order, reasonable protection for the weak and certain safe guards for the youth of Alaska. This majority has power if it will but use it. Combined with the hope that something WILL be done must be the determination to see that it IS done. Disapproval of selfishness and greed must be voiced in no un- certain tones and encouragement and support given the forces of decency and right living by all who would see our Territory reach the destiny to which it aspires, and become a land of happy homes.

to be taken to the canneries
 It would appear that at the pres ent time the greater dependence is being placed upon the gravity canals, three of them on the Oregon side and two connected with the main river on the Washington side. These are constructed as closely as possible in accordance with natural conditions, and while the fisheries men are not entirely optimistic as to their success they are at least hopeful.
 Of the lock or lift method two units are being installed, one on the Oregon side of the river and the next on the Washington shore. These are to be so arranged as to work automatically or under manu- al control, power being supplied by the river itself.
 One of the reasons why the fish cries men are not overly optimistic as to the success of the fishw3ys around the dam is the fact that 1t differs from any other dam that has been constructed in a major stream. This dam is built in a tidal river, where there is a decided fluctuation in the level of the water, and it is not known just how the fish will act under these conditions Govern ment engineers have built an ex- pensive model of the dam and the adjacent river on a large scale in a natural stream and exhaustive studies and tests have been made and are being made in this moiel in order to determine the actual conditions that will exist at the dam itself when it is completed, in the hope that the data obtained from this will aid in making con- ditiOns such that the normal move

HOPE DEFERRED
By Helene G. Johnson

The editorial of the recent spec ialJ edition of the Alaska Press of Juneau, published under the direc- tion- of the. Juneau Womens club, Mrs. Mildred Herman, editor-in- chief, was written by Mrs. M. O. Johnson, president of the Women s club of Wrangell. The editorial fol- lows3
 Hope is one of tE predominant ing traits of the human family in general and of Alaskans in particu- lar. When certain conditions cry for improvement, we hope for the best and say, Something will undoubt- edly be done about that" We de- Jude ourselves sometimes. We have done so again.
 Before every election candidates drone, We are but che servants of the. people. Our aim in sacrificing our private interests to seek office is to serve you. Elect us eff two or three are gathered together to campaign) and we shall be glad to do your bidding. Tell us what you want us to do." We are gulli- ble, perhaps. We go to the polls each time hoping that we are really putting the right men into office. And we DO elect some good men. And some bright men who are less good. And some good men who are less bright and discerning than they have need to be.
 In several communities we were given the opportunity to express our opinion of the liquor regula- tions in effect here since the re- peal. Anyone looking over the an- swers returned on those question aires could see that big majority was not satisfied with the liquor situation. Dissatisfaction was felt, not by non-drinkers alone, but by many who had wanted repeal, who worked for 1t and rejoiced when it came, but who saw the handwriting on the wall in the present system They do not want the saloon back with all it's vicious possibilities, but neither has the beer parlor, eager for trade, regardless of it's class of patrons, their age or sex or state of intoxication, and gen. eral behavior, place in decent community. Nor did they feel it necessary to have a liquor store on every corner, all striving to make a profit-some, by any means.
 The most important task before the Twelfth Legislature was to en- act permanent legislation for Ter ritorial, Control. The liquor board regulations were but a stop-gap be- tween sessions and yet

Generally statistics are not inter- esting, but most of LIS will be sur prised to learn that we, in Alaska, used chemical products during 1884 amounting to $1,O37,00O, an in crease of thirty-one percent over 1888. Toilet requisites totalled $79,- 500, medicinal purchases $181,0O0, explosives $354,00O, and the bal ance was distributed in paints matches, pyroxylin products, and naval stores. The Chemical Division of the Department of Commerce em- phasizes the fact that this is not a foreign market but entirely do- nestle and should be approached accordingly. This is only one of the industries that is beginning to real ize the potential value of the Alas ka market

option If we wish it. Another new feature is that the Territorial Treasurer will have the power to distribute four rather well-paying jobs, one in each Division, for en- forcement officers. The legislators had sixty days in which to do some thing better than they did-if they really desired to carry out their part as the servants of the peo- ple," but they side-stepped the re- sponsibility in one way or another.
 It would be untrue to say that all members of the Legislature failed to hear the voice of the peo- pie and to sense the hope that gave it utterance. It would be equally untrue to say that other voices were not heard - voices with the power of persuasion, voices of the liquor interests to the south of us, voices that never ceased demanding or caioling in order to nullify those voices of hopeful constituents who awaited results.
 The Territorial Control bill pat termed on the State of Washington law was not considered. The com mittee appointed early in the ses- sion to draft liquor legislation de- layed it's report so far beyond the time limit imposed that it became evident there was a purpose behind the delay That a saloon bill, de- spite party pledges, should be given serious consideration in the Senate was not unexpected, but disturbing The House DID pass the Nordale bill, which, while continuing the present system of control, praeti- cally established dispensaries, and would have held the whip of no refund on liquor licenses to towns failing to enforce the law, but the Senate did not concur.
 Meantime, the last day of the session came The substitute bill was rushed through both houses and the Twelfth Legislature ad- journed Members boarded the Vic toria southbound, leaving the scene of their late struggles, or acquies- cent defeats, or triumphant accom- plishments, according to the point of view, and we have what we have.
 The privilege of local option will not be taken seriously. We can re- cite all the arguments against one community dry and others wet. Not even with liquor stores and beer parlors in existence has the boot logger become quite extinct and no town is anxious to become his head quarters.
 Two years will pass before we have another Legislative session. Meantime, we hope the enforcement officers will justify their appoint ment by enforcing existing regula- tions. We hope an educational course in regard to alcohol and narcotics will go into effect in the schools-sane, scientific enlighten- ment We hope, too, that swift punishment will be meted out to drunken drivers and disturbers of the peace.
 Is it too much to hope that beer parlor operators who have been decidedly negligent will refuse to
