STAG Luncheon

The Commissioner of the Dis
trict, Mr.. Melvin C. Hazen, will
give a luncheon on Saturday,
october q, at the Congressional
Country Club for the members
of the teams and numerous
other parties will enliven the
calendar.
So far, only one wife, Sonora
de Izurieta, wife Of a member
of the Chilean riding team, has
arrived in the Capital, but be-
fore the opening date OF the
show others are expected to
come from Chile and Mexico.
With the return of the Am
baSsador of Mexico, Senor DR..
Don Francisco Castillo Najera,
from Mexico City within few
days, a date will be selected for
O party at his embassy.
Today is the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the founding of the
Chinese Republic-but because
of the war and the recent ar
rival of a new Ambassador, only
a small, informal celebration
among the Embassy staff is in
order.
Now that the new envoy. DR..
Hu Shih, has assumed his du-
ties there has been some specu-
lation as to whether Twin
OakeS" will remain as the Chi
nese Embassy. Twin Oakes"
was leased by DR.. Shih's prede-
cessor, DR.. Chenting T. Wang,
when he came here last year.

Mrs. Howard Sutherland, who
Is an especial pet Of ours, was
wearing the dearest little hat
and her hair all piled up on top
Of her head. The subject Of
hats just naturally came up,
and Mrs. Sutherland told Of q
close friend Of hers going into a
shop and trying on many, many
hats, without liking one of them.
Finally the friend pointed to-
ward a table near the window.
How about letting me try on
one Of those two" she suggested
to the saleswoman. The sales
woman looked completely horri-
fled. "Oh, no." she protested,
you couldn't" "And why not?"
demanded Mrs. Sutherland'S
friend. Because they aren't
hats" replied the saleswoman
truthfully, "they are book-ends."

TAXES PAID

The Territory of Alaska derives approximately 70 per cent of it's annual tax revenues from the canned salmon industry. From 40 to 50 per cent of this amount is derived from license taxes and other taxes levied on the canned salmon produced in the Bristol Bay area. The maintenance and continuance of the public school system of Alaska, including its high schools and university, the home of aged residents, pensions for aged residents, expenditures for the relief of the needy and indlgant, as well as expenditures for the performance of the ordi- nary functions of government are dependent upon the ontinued pro duction of the Alaska fisheries at their present level.
 Nor does the Alaska canned sal mon industry and allied indus tries, together with the thousands employed therein, base expecta- tions of futre sustained produc- tion and employment levels or any ordinary program for the ex- ploitation of a natural resource The means adopted by the Amer ican government, American citi- zens and American capital to pre- serve this great industry are uni

Rights of America Created Situation
 Bristol Bay Area
HOW CONSERVATION CREATES PECULIAR U. s. RIGHTS IN THE BRISTOL BAY AREA, OF ALASKA
The following statement was made recently before a congress sional committee in Washington, by Norman R. Walker, territorial Senator from Alaska.

In view of the presence in the Bristol Bay area of western Al aska during the fishing season of 1887 of Japanese fishing vessels, thought may properly be given 10 the Alaska canned salmon in dustry and it's place in the econo- mic and social fabric of the Paci- fife coast states and Alaska. The reaction likely to be encounter d among the residents of tha, area should the nationals of the Jap arese government persist in their present program of of-shore fishing operations whereby the annual salmon run destined for the Alaska fishing ground at the head of Bristol Bay is intercept ed 10 the consequent de.er.m-nt of American capital and Ameri- can labor employed in the Alas ka canned salmon industry, sho- uld likewise be carefully con sidered
 The United States of America purchased what is now the Ter ritory of Alaska from the imper- ial government of Russia in 1867, In 1878, the enterprising Ameri- can citizens commenced salmon canning operations in the Terri tory. From the operations of q single unit which produced 12,50e cases in 1878, the industry has grown and expanded until, in 1886, IF modern salmon canner- ies employing 25,211 persons and utilizing 3675 vessels, boats and

LABOR'S SACRIFICE

This condition has been brought about and maintained only by great sacrifice on the part of both capital and labor employed in the industry. In many cases it has been necessary for fishermen to forego their opportunities for profitable season in order to in- sure a proper and adequate es- capement of salmon to the spawn ing streams. The Buerau of Fish cries has on frequent occasions found it necessary to suspend fishing operations entirely in whole areas in order to protect the future runs. The result has been heavy financial loss to the operators and actual want to la borers and fishermen.
 Large sums of money have been expended by the government and by the industry in scientific in- vastigations, artifcisl. propaga- tion. eradication of natural ene- mics, cleaning of the spawning streams, erection and mainten- ance of fish ladders and fishWays, removing of barricades. policing, patrolling, etc.
 The available record discloseS that during the last ten years alone the United States govern meat, the Territory of Alaska & private industry have expended a total of 4,228,OOO in the Terri tory of Alaska for the foregoing purposes. This is in addition to the large sums expended directly and indirectly by private indus try and by various governmental agencies of which no detailed re- cord is available.

que and unparalleled.
 The United States Bureau of Fisheries, pursuant to authority conferred by congress. and with the assistance and cooperation of the plant operators, employees and fishermen, have over long period of years so administered and regulated the taking of sal mon in Alaskan waters that the annual run has not only been preserved and repropagated, but their numbers have actually been increased and stabilized until fish are now apparently as plentiful as before the advent of commer- cial fishing.

ion dollars annually from Pacific Coast banks. Additional annual expenditures by Alaska salmon canneries are as follows:
 l. Cans, cases and labels, seven million five hundred thousand dollars.
 2. Supply houses, S5.O0O,00O.
 3. Ship building and repairing, $2,00O,OOO.
 | Petroleum products, $2.500,- 900.
 5. Filing and lumber, $2,OOO,- 900.
 6. Groceries, S1 ,250.000. '. Taxes paid to the Territory of Alaska, Sl,250,000.
 Of the above expenditures ap- proximately 25 per cent are made in connection with Bristol Bay, with the exception of the item of taxes. Forty to 50 per cent of the taxes are accounted for by Bristol Bay.
 The expansion and develop ment of the canned salmon indus try in Alaska has played and con tinues to play an important part in the economic and social wei fare of the whole Pacific coast. It is the life blood of Alaska. As before indicated from $45, 1000, ,000 to S75,000,000 of American capital is invested in plants and equip ment. In addition to this capi tai and the many thousands of persons directly employed in the industry, additional thousands of parsons and millions in capital are occupied in allied industries which are to a considerable de- gree dependent on the Alaska canned salmon industry.
 Shipping concerns, shipbuilders, boat yards, can manufacturers carton makers. banks, insurance companies, manufacturers of fish netting, ship chand.ery and mar inc supplies engaged in business on the Pacific coast and elsewhere throughout the United States, have predicated their investments .heir operating plans, their pub lie service, their employment levels. their payrolls, and their future welfare on the continued op ration of the Alaska canned salmon industry at it's present level of production.
The Nome nugget., 1938-03-28
BRISTOL BAY

Salmon canning operations com menced in the Bristol Bay area in 1884, when an experimental pack of 400 cases was proceSsed. From that small beginning the industry there has grown until in 1886, twenty-four canneries were operated in that area. These 24 canneries employed approximat- ely 5000 persons and utilized HOO gill net boats, 9l cannery tender and PIP scows, pile-drivers, etc. The 1886 production of canned salmon in the Bristol Bay area amounted to 1,491, ,205 standard cases, having a gross value of $12,O73,41O.
 The total investment in Alaska canneries including plants vessels machinery, inventories, terminals and facilities, both in Alaska and in the United States proper are estimated by Dr. ED. Clark, sec retary of the Association of Pa cifc Fisheries, at $45,000,000 plus annually borrowed operating cap ital of $20,0OO,000. These fgur- es are deemed too low and it is thought that the investment to- aa-s from S6O,000,0OO to $75,00O,- 900 plus the annually borrowed capital of $2O,00O000,
 Dr. Clark estimates the shore plants and equipment at Bristol Bay to have value of $10,00O,- GOO. Il seems likely that the float ing equipment including scows boats, tenders and steam vessels, together with terminal facilities in the states. are valued at an ad- ditional $IO,OOO,000
 The Alaska salmon cannery con- cerns pay steamship companies $3.500,000 annually for the trans portation of passengers and frei- ght to and from the Territory. It is estimated that $500,0OO of this sum is expended in connec- tion with Bristol Bay operations.
