Fish Trap Memorial
 Fails to Carry House

By a vote of 12 to the territorial house Tuesday killed the Coffey me morial asking for abolition of fish traps in Alaskan waters. Those yot- ing in favor of the memorial were Representative Green of Hyder Nc Cutcheon of Anchorage, Coffey of Matanuska and Nell Scott of Seldo- via.
 The memorial urged congress to abolish fish traps, but contained To request that seine fishing be limi- ted to residents, and made no refer ence to the Dimond bill before the last session of congress. An attempt to amend the memorial by inserting endorsement of the Dimond bill which would provide limiting of fishing to bona fide residents was defeated last week, Representative Coffey opposing it.

Net Profit Shown

Under the proposed schedule the plant revenues will be decreased $275 a month at the present current consumption. The records submitted by H. Wellons, plant manager, show that after upkeep, insurance, de- preciation and miscellaneous ex- pepnses and the $550 monthly pay ments were deducted, that the net profit for operation was $933 for the year 1886.
 "I realize that under the circum- stances" said Mayor Barnes. T am asking a lot of the council to em- bark on a course which will cut light plant revenues $33OO a year but I believe that Wrangell citizens are entitled to the experiments be- ing made and l am confident that a well planned program of increased use will avert a deficit and will work out to the advantage of the owners of the light plant-the citi- zens of Wrangell and for that req son I believe l am justified in recom- mending trial of reduced light rates."

LOWER LIGHT RATES RECOMMENDED
 THROUGH EFFORTS MAYOR BARNES

The 1935 rate studies stated the mayor, disclose that 35 percent of the resident accounts and 2l per cent of the commercial accounts were convenient listings carried by the light department at a loss and a further study of individuals comprising these accounts seems Co indicate that their consumption of current would not be increased by a lower rate. From a strictly tech nieal point, he explained, it would therefore, be best to continue tue present high blocks at the present level and To make production be- tween these first two blocks in order that the minimum and large users receive the benefit of increased use.

Recommends Selling Campaign

Mir. Barnes made it clear, now ever, that he opposes such a course. He advocates instead that the town maintain a lower rate schedule by increased use of current, and to bring that about will recommend the city councils approval of an aggres- siye selling campaign for increased installation and use of electrical equipment, through the city nall or local dealers, so that purchases Of larger electrical equipment may be purchased on time payments by local citizens.
 "I am deeply interested n ex- tending the range of usefulness of the city light plant" the mayor stated today, "so that every home and business may be benefited at the lowest possible rate, and I have spent many long hours working to that end"

 Urge Registered Lines

There is great danger under tue resent plan that mIuk and otter Will be exterminated in Southeastern AI- aska. according to the consensus eN- pressed at meeting oI Ketukan trappers and the Alaska SportsmeHs' association. according to the ketcht- kan Chronicle.
 Fourteen longtime trappers of Ketchikan attended the meeting to advocate the registered trap line as a remedy Tor the present .free-tor- all" system. When the meeting was turned into an open forum and a vote was taken among the 42 persons present, there was only one dissent Ing vote against the motion that the meeting go on record in favor of registered trap-lines. similar 10 the plan now in operation in British Columbia.
 One trapper, who said that he had trapped since 1666, when he had lines in California, said that unless something was done, conditions here would be the same as now exists in California.
 He said that although now 16 years of age, he still traps, and feared that he might not be able to do so much longer, but wanted to see the supply maintained for the future.

They set few traps here, a few traps there, then they tend not only ,heir own, but other peoples traps The amount of pitlighting and trapping before and after the season is sean dalous, he said His remarks were 
 The feeling of most of those who expressed themselves was that while it might create special privilege for some, the registered trap line would conserve game by tending to build up rather than destroy the present supply; it would enable enforcement officers to check on trappers and prevent illegal trapping.

The new rates secured by MT. Barnes will effect a reduction of approxi- mately 25 per cent.
 In checking over the records, the engineering department found thst 35 percent of the resident accounts of the light plant use 16 kilowatt hours or less per month and that 31 per cent use between IT and s25 kiloWatt hours.
 Records for commercial accounts show that q percent use less than 25 k.w.h. and 53 per cent are within the 26 to 100 k.w.h. section.

From the foregoing figures it becomes apparent" said the mayor. that these reductions will affect both the large user of current and also the convenient customer" He explained that the term "conYen- tent" is applied to those customers on whom the plant operation shows loss. For instance, the customer who fails TO use the current requir- ed by his equipment but for whom the plant must maintain current on the wire available if he should de- sire to use it.

SUPPLY OF LUMBER

The available reserve producing

present and prospective demands for
lumber, although in some regions re-

and in the light of heavy untitled

the quarterly national survey of Lum-

points:

"a billion feet were per cent in ex-

Estimated lumber consumption last
year was approximately % billion

than in 1882. The end of the Pacific
Coast strike is releasing a heavy VOL
ume Of deferred shipments, and with
the restoration of flooded areas there
will be some revival of lumber pro-

1t is really something new in heat
ers; once you see it you will undoubt-
edly think Of many special uses for it
in addition to your regular heating
system. Let us know If you have any
original, new ideas on the subject.
THIS is the time Of the year when
owners of stucco houses survey
with dismay the damage the SHOWS Of
Winter have done to their once neatly
painted walls. That is, unless they
have painted their houses with
waterproofing paint which combines
the beautifying treatment with pro-
lection against moisture in any form.
We have heard Of such a paint
which can be used on stucco, concrete,
brick. cinder block, building tile, hol-
low tile and any other unpainted
porous masonry surface. If you are
sorry this year, prepare to be pleased
next and investigate waterproof &C.
ment paint before you do over the
outside of your house or a finished
basement. The rain can come in to
its hearts delight, if the walls are
cement painted. s
The makers Of waterproof cement
paint say it shuts water out COM
pletely, while providing an attractive
finish at the same time. 1t comes In
white and 16 other colors, including
light blue. gray. pink, buff. tannish
lavender, light green and terra Gotta.
It cannot be applied over other
coats of paint. although it can safely
go over an undercoating Of the same
material, which means that if you
remove your present coat of paint you
will never have the scraping job to
do again. Indeed, putting this particu-
lar paint on a new surface or one
which has been painted before with
the same material is a childishly
simple process. All you do Is wet
the wall with water then brush or
spray on the first coat. Directions
for mixing the paint come with each
package.
SPEAKING Of paint (and who isn't,
now that Spring is just a month
