Set Net Legislation

The Senate this week approv- ed legislation which would ex- clude set gill nets, stake gill nets, and anchored gill nets in Alaska waters from any consideration as fixed gear in the writing of fish cry regulations.
 The bill, sponsored by Senator Magnuson of Washington, is id critical with the measure intro duced by Delegate E. L. Bartlett in the House and approved last week by the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee.
 For many years the Fish and Wildlife Service has allowed varied lengths between set nets, as little a distance as 300 feet be- tween nets in some areas of Alas ka, 500 feet being the distance permitted in the Cook Inlet re- zion, because this gear was con

Review Of Current
 Land Laws Given

Editors note: The following is the conclusion of an article start ed in a previous issue of The Frontiersman, pertaining to a re- view of land laws placed into eff feet the past few years, as releas- ed by an official of the Bureau of Land Management
 If a person merely wants a place to live, there are two laws under which he can get a home site-the Small Tract Act which was amended in 1854 to permit classification of gnsurveyed lands, and the domestic Act of 1884. Un- der the Small Tract Act, a per son leases a tract of five acres or less for a period of two or three years and then pays an appraised purchase price set at the time he leases the land. He can buy the land at the end of the first year If he has complied with the lease terms. No stated period of occupancy is required. The Home site Act of 1854 allows a quail fled person to move onto an un- occupied, unreserved portion of the public domain, live there five months per year for three years, pay $2.50 per acre and become eli gible for patent.
 At times, the Bureau of Land Management receives complaints because veterans get priorities in filings and credit for service. Whether or not this is a weak ness in the law is for Congress to determine, a spokesman for ELM said.
 The grazing law for Alaska was passed in 1927, seven years be- fore the Taylor Grazing Act which is used in the Continental United States. The Alaska graz ing statute has no acreage limita- tion ard is so flexible, ELM off ficials said, that terms of the vari- ous leases can be altered to meet almost any situation.
 A point to be observed is that some withdrawn land can be ob- tained under the Public Sale Act, Small Tract law and under the grazing regulations. Records show that with one or two exceptions, all of the land sold under the Public Sale Act and most of the grazing leases issued involve lands which are inside some type of reservation. This, together with Secretary of the Interior Me- Rays policy of reducing reserva- tlorS to a minimum, indicates definite trend toward easing the problems land withdrawals have caused in Alaska, it was pointed out
 The disposal of timber and a wide variety of resources of the land was authorized by 1947 law. A special amendment was passed in 1850 to permit BLM in Alaska to dispose of materials located be- low mean high water mark in navigable waters. Before that time no Federal agency or indi- vidual could legally obtain gravel from streams or off coast areas. Disposition of timber under the Act of May IA, 1898 is authorized. Hundreds of small sales and free use permits have been made and issued under this Act. The 1947 law authorizes, among other things, the sale of clay A brick manufacturing industry is de- veloping at Anchorage using ma. terial obtained under this law.

PROPOSED CERTIFIED MAIL SERVICE

Postmaster General Arthur F. Summerfield disclosed on Feb ruary IS details of a proposed change in. the registered mail ser vice which would reduce cost to patrons and speed delivery on at least 25 million letters year now sent by registered mail. He also announced the new service would not become effective until the mailing public has had an op- portunity for 30 days to make. comments or suggestions to the Post Office. Department. Depart ment employees are also invited to make comments or suggestions
 The new mail service would be called certified mail" As pres ently contemplated, a charge of IS cents would be made for giv- ing the patron a certificate of mailing and for having the letter carrier take a delivery receipt from the addressee. This is in con- trast with the present minimum charge of 30 cents for registered mail
 Postmaster General Summer field explained that the savings which would be passed on to pa irons are the results of simplifi- cation studies made by the De- partment At the same time, he announced that the diversion of mail out of the present registered service would enable the Depart ment to give greater security pro- lection to letters carrying items of real financial value.
 we believe that there is need for varying the present reg istry service so that the patron could simply get proof of deliv- cry without having to pay for the expense of guarding registered mail at every handling point as at present." Summerfield said.
 The proposed 15 cents charge does rot include the cost of ob- taining a return receipt. AS in the case of registered mail, a receipt would be received by the carrier and retained on file by the post office. An additional charge of seven cents would be made for

sidered to be movable gear. The FWS announced last fall, how ever, that because of federal court opinion issued last summer that set nets were fixed applianc- es, the 1855 regulations would set a minimum of 1900 between set nets as is required between fix cd gear fishing appliances. The legislation which received appro- val on the Senate side this week would exclude such nets from consideration as fixed gear and would permit the issuance of regulations similar to those is sued in past years.

back to 1914 ard follows the standard pattern of tonnage re. quirements, bonds and royalties
 There are other land laws in effect in Alaska some new, some old but these are the main ones in operation in the Territory. No land laws operate smoothly when conflicts of interest appear and as Alaska grows and land acquisi- tion becomes more and more i'm portant, these conflicts become important factors in the adjudica. ton of applications, a Land Office official observed.

How To Strengthen
Trees To Meet Threat
Of Hurricane

Tree owners find new reasons
to take a long look at their shade
trees this year Weather experts
have expressed belief that the
entire Atlantic seaboard is now
in hurricane area, and that hurri-
canes that rip across the Middle
Atlantic and New England states
are linked somehow with warmer
winters.
Thousands of valued shade trees
took a terrific beating from Hurri-
canes Carol, Edna and Hazel last
year. If such destructive storms
are to become a habit, Don Can
twell of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Co., says that trees will require
more attention to withstand the
destructive forces of nature.
The first task is character or
corrective pruning trees, eliminat-
ing weaker branches and cOndi-
tiOning them to greater sturdiness.
Many trees need periodic prun-
ing, Mr. Cantwell says. willows,
for example, can be headed back
every few years. Trees with crowns
too dense or whose limbs grow
out of bounds or hang dangerously
over buses, garages, drives and
walks are in need pruning.
Others may require only a hair
cut"-a thinning operation so that
winds can pass through them easi-
ly. Trees with thick crowns present
solid wall" leaves. When gales
strike, something must give, and so
the treegOes-either blown down or
shattered.
Pruning can be done any time
of the year. If done before the
growing season begins in the
spring, cuts heal more quickly.
Moreover, the strength of the tree
is thrown into the remaining
branches and limbs and makes the
that much stronger.
Pruning must be accompanied by
feeding to promote good root de-
velOpment for anchorage. Feeding
also will stimulate healing and
the laying down of sound wood.
Cabling of long limbs that might
break under stress of winds and
bracing of weak crOtches to prevent
them from shattering are also part
of putting a tree into sound con-
ditiOn. Good tree care is good in
surance against hurricane or storm
damage.

RADAR LIGHT FAILS

RICHMOND, Va. -(P)- Police
radar, which has been tossing some
costly winks at speders, briefly be-
came a suspect itself.
A high school student reported
a batch of flash bulbs mysterious
ly went off all at once when a ra-
dar-eQuipped patrol car passed by
just as he prepared to take photo
graphs of some classmates. Was
radar to blame?
It was the first complaint about
the new police radar from anyone
but a speeder. So traffic Mai. John
G. Hanna, ordered an immediate
trial. His men tempted the radar
beam with fash bulbs from a dis
tance and then in close. Finally the
machine was festOOned with flash
bulbs. Nothing happened.
Still no solution, though, to the
mystery of the students fash
bulbs.
