Sourdough Ready
To Renew Fight
SEATTLE. (/P)—A 71-year-old
Sourdough came out of a Seattle
hospital feeling “shaky in the
pins” but still eager to resume a
personal feud with two enemies—
Alaska's brown bears and con
tractors.
He is Antone A. Zimmerman,
of Fairbanks, who said the bears
raid his mining camps and the
contractors raid his labor supply.
“And between them and the ris
ing cost of getting out gold, it’s a
lot harder game up there now
than it was when I hit the beach
at Nome in 1901,” Zimmerman de
clared.
“I can handle the bears all right
—had to get up in my nightshirt
and shoot two of them when they
tried to get into the bunkhouse a
while back.” he said. “But I can’t
compete with the high wages and

Statehood Would
Not (Jive Control
(>f Fisheries
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Edward
; Allen, Seattle, Wash., attorney
i and member of the international
fisheries commission, contended
today that the pending bill to give
Alaska Statehood fails to deal
properly with the Territory’s wa
I ters and fisheries. i
Allen was opposing the House
passed bill before the Senate In- :
terior Committee. It was the sec
ond day of opposition tostimony.
Supporters of Statehood present
i ed their case at length earlier in
the week.
“From a legal standpoint, the
bill is defective both for what it
says and what it fails to say con
cerning Alaskan w’atcrs and fish
eries,” Allen declared.
Allen said the Supreme Court
decision in the so-called tidelands
case enormously increased fed
t oral power.
He said States were held in that
case to have no ownership what
ever in the marginal or three-mile
! belt. Either in or beneath ocean
1 waters, and could exercise fish
ery control only as the federal
| government permitted.
The Statehood bill would, he
said, transfer control of its fish
eries to Alaska.
! Then, too, Allen continued in
| his statement, the feder. . g;>
crnment has signed intern.- tinna'
treaties regulating halibut * an:
out of Alaskan waters.
Fur seals, he added, art •regu
lated by a treaty with Canaa; am
coastal fisheries of Alaska ar<
confronted with intematic i i
1 complications with Japar anc
I Russia.
Leo Tony, native who admittec
the slaying of Mary Schenck. na
tive woman, was sentenced in the
| District Court last week to eight
, een years in the penitentiary.
Boyd Harwood of the Nome
Drug Store has been called to the
States du*> to the serious illness
of his mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Ost and
son who have been visiting friends
and relatives in and about Nome
for the past month left today en
route to the States where they
will complete their furlough and
return again to their missionary
work in Africa.
