ON November End, when

their opportunity to take part

EDITORIAL
Referendum : The Democratic Way

~ w 0y
ON NOVEMBER 2, the voters Of the Virgin Islands
will cast a referendum ballot. 1t is not amiss at this time
to call to the attention of our people the significance of
being able to take part in such a ballot, and to urge that
everyone, without fail, avail himself Of this opportunity. This
is democracy in action, and in this day and time when groups
have no voice in their government, it looms all the larger.
What the people Of the Virgin Islands decide will become the
law. It is therefore necessary that all think seriously, for it is
a direct vote on a direct issue.
uSN our purpose here to comment on the six ques-
tons as such, but to attempt to call attention to the opportu-
nifty thus presented. We can decide, through this vote, whet-
her we shall have a single legislature, or remain as we are, or
whether we shall have two separate treasures, as we now
have, or a single one. Much has been written pro and con, and
while there is still time voters will be giving further thought
to the matter.
NOT LONG AGO we disagreed with the six questions,
contending that they could more effectively and clearly be
boiled down to four. That was our opinion, which we express
ed, not only because we had the right to, but because we felt
it had merit. However, from all indications the Legislative
Assembly will not make the change, and the six questions re-
main. Be that as it may, it does not reduce the issues as such,
and the voters will still cast their vote for what they see fit.
What is important is that they have such a right, and in order
that they may show their understanding and appreciation,
there must be the fullest support of the Referendum"
THE REFERENDUM will show further whether we
favor the election of our own Governor, and also Of having a
Resident Commissioner in Washington. Even more important,
to our way Of seeing it, than electing our own Governor
is having a Resident Commissioner in Washington. That is
the position which will help to bring about those measures
for which we have fought so long, and 50 hard. An active,
alert Resident Commissioner could make valuable contacts

 The cannery put up over 460O cases of salmon despite a very dis appointing sockeye season and the partners say "l948 has been a pret ty. good season for us. We were nearly able to reach the 5.oOO-caso goal we had set earlier in the year. If we can make our contemplated improvements next season should see us surpass that figure. pro vided. of course, salmon runs are good"
 Commercial fishing for salmon ends on September 15 and the sea son will not reopen until late next May.

Fish & Wiid!;fe Agent Ends Survey

Fish and Wildlire agent, C. R. Magee was in Seward from August 20 to September 8 He was conduct ing survey work and doing patrol duty. being connected in tho same work previously in the Cook Inlet area. He now is surveying streams in Prince William Sound.
 MT. Magee stated before leaving Seward that despite numerous re- ports to the contrary, stream con- ditions in. this area are excellent: in fact. the best be had seen and that insofar as escapement was concerned. Resurrection Bay should enjoy good fishing for years to come. However, Mir. Magee was alarmed at the waste of fish along the spawning streams caused by eaffing and snagging.
 In regard to this matter he said
 negotiations provide that any per. son may take salmon from streams for his own use but to take these salmon from their spawning beds and leave them hieh and dry on the bank is an appalling waste and q disgrace. Wanton waste of fish and game is very serious viola. ton of law. calling for a heavy penalty
 From his new location MT. Magee writes. thanking everyone connect cd with commercial fishing in Seward for their cooperation and making his trip here highly sue cesSful.

We BieyeIed In AIusko"

A sketch of the Alaska trip taken by nine bicycl;sts who passed through Seward July 10. 1948: By RUTH K. HILL
 Greeted by sweltering one hun dred degree temperatures in the States, nine bicyclists spent hot nights dreaming of the coolness of Alaska. We were five women and four men, representing Michigan, Pennsylvania. Kansas. Connecti- cut, and Louisiana. We had few things in common All of us were members of the American Youth Hostels. We liked bicycling ana camping out. Most of all, we want ed to see as much of Alaska as we could in six weeks.
 Ketchikan was our first port of call in Alaska Seven of US spent five days there. cycling every available mile of road on the island and learning as much as we could about fish. lumber and totem poles. We left Ketchikan on the Baranof on July while the poou- lation was still in the throes of an Independence Day parade. We be- came a group of nine on the Bar anof when we joined the two boys who had boarded at Seattle
 The Inside Passage was beauti- ful, but being land lubbers we were more interested in the places where we could feel the gooc earth. At. Juneau, one of the girls had a cousin who whisked us off in station wagon to the Menden- hall Glacier. Aux Lake. and as much of Juneau and the museum as we could cover in five hours. It was clear. bright day and the last

Desirability Of Deer On Kenai Being Investigated

Efforts of Richard Dangler, IT, year-old resident of Seward, to in terest the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice in the matter of stockin, the Kenai Peninsula with deer are bearing fruit and early investiga. tion is indicated by the following communications in regard to the matter received by MT. Dangler this week:
 From the office of E. l.. Bartlett, delegate from Alaska
 With further reference to your letter of August 26 and the peti- tons signed by some 231 residents of Kenai Peninsula in connection with the desirabilty of stocking the peninsula with deer, you will find enclosed copy of letter dated Sep tember addressed to MT. Bartlett by Director Day of the Fish and Wildlife Service, which indicates that something constructive is go- ing to be done. Just as soon as there is anything else to report as the result of the field study, we will write you again."
 From Director Day of the Fish and Wildlife Service to Delegate Bartlett
 Reference is made to your let ter of August 31 together with the enclosed petition by 281 residents of the Kenai Peninsula. asking the Fish and Wi]difa Service to stock this area with deer.
 Tt is believed that this matter requires a very careful field in- vestigation to determine fully the effects such stocking might have on the present moose population. We are arranging, therefore, to have the new manager of the Kenai Moose Range, an especially well qualified man having consider able experience in big game prob lems, make detailed appraisal of the available range and other fac- tors having bearing on the pro- posed introduction of deer.
 "In addition. there are problems relating to this proposal which we are asking the Regional Director to bring to the attention of the Alas ka Game Commission together with the results of field studies which will be undertaken very shortly by the manager of the Kenai Moose Range.
 "We are very grateful for your interest in the matter and want to assure you that the opportunities for successful introduction of deer on the Kenai Peninsula will be in vestigated thoroughly We will write you further on the stocking proposal after the field study has been completed and recommenda- tions received from the Regional Director, Rhode. at Juneau to- eether with those of theAlaska Game Commission"
 Dangler has two other petitions out and will have them ready to send in to the Fish and Wildlife Service in the near future. This newspaper will carry full accounts of the situation as they are re- ceived.
