 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
Fish Trap in Closed Areag
PERTSCOPE
6 Q

Current report is to the effect that permit has been granted by the War Department to the Nesbitt Fish Company for re-installing the long abandoned Snow Pass fish trap near Nesbitt Point The snow Pass area has been closed to traps for 15 years and more and the present report that a trap is to be established there has raised more than couple Of eyebrows among fishermen.
 Snow Pass trap was formerly owned by A. shonewald and fish from the trap came to the old Dia- mOnd K cannery here, then operated by the late Karl Theile. Later there was litigation for several years be- tween ShOnewald and the Pacific American Fisheries in connection with ownership. Latest dope is that under the projected new setup fish will go to the Libby plant in Peters burg.
 Several versions are prevalent in connection with the reported trap installation. One Is that 1t might be the foundation for a test case to determine whether traps can be bar red from an area where other types of gear are permitted. Another is that there's been a change of ad ministration, perhaps heralding a different approach relative to man agement of the fisheries. The new Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service is John L. Farley of Seattle, for years associated with the Crown zellerbach paper company. It could be that the industry is going to have more of voice in management of the fisheries and it's views on con serVation may be considerably broader than has been the govern ment policy in recent years-for in stance, like the building of a fish trap in Snow Pass.
 At any rate, it would appear that the elimination of fish traps which the voters of Alaska rather over Whelmingly approved a few years ago, is far from becoming an actu- ailty. It might be that the new ad ministration approach is for bigger and better fish traps with the slogan or snow Pass they shall not pass.
