are in very bad shape and the
lines to the end of the break
water for the red and green sig
nal lights are completely destroy
ed.
It was decided to wait until
Engineer Rivers came down be
fore going further into the mat
ter.
* * *
Several who spoke to fisher
men about the railroad and the
Howard barges (Nos. 504 and 505)
made the report that it was much
better for the barges to take a
beating against the dock than
the smaller ships. Lights were
frnished by Howard as was water,
they said and all was emminently
satisfactory.
The R.R. barge is locked and
may be taken to Anchorage soon.
* * *
Several large steel oil lines are
ready for surplus and the city
will ask that they be moved at
once as these lots may be sold
at any time and the city does not
want the expense of removing
this pipe.
* * *
The Quackinbush has to be re
moved so work can go ahead in
the small boat harbor. It is und
erstood that it sold for $25.00 and
that $250.00 worth of oil barrels
were sold by the present owners,
Butler and Davis.
The superstructure could be
! used as a setting for a chowder
house if someone wants to bring
it ashore and put it up near the
marine ways.
PROJECT BUSINES
DRAWS TO CLOSE
From page (1) one
of the city before any action
could be taken against the Bonds
men.
(It is entirely obvious that the
Attorney does not desire to en
ter the court. Other remarks per
tinent there to were made but
the trend all the way through
was settle the best way possible
and keep out of court.)
Keating stated Mr. Howard had
no possible chance judging by
what Mr. Schrader, an official of
the F.P.H.A., told him of obtain- i
ing re-embursement for the stoves
or of not being obliged to pay
for them.
• Interference in city affairs and
concilar action opparently can
not be shaken off by several who
attend these meetings, an action I
which keeps those who formulate I
civic affairs in a continual up- j
roar.)
Engineer Estes ha3‘ declared
(he project complete and every
one now seems ready to sign
final papers. Very likely the city,
will "skin through” without a law
suit and this is the wish of those
who now hold office.

ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on ‘‘the practice of fishing by means of traps should
be continued or ... should be abolished.” To abolish traps, vrc believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently
injure the Territory of Alaska.
Can Alaska GROW
BACKWARDS?
“Let's go back to hand labor—it makes
more jobs.” ... That, in effect, is exactly
what opponents of salmon traps are say
ing. And it’s a fact that trap fishing is
the most efficient way of taking salmon
in that it provides a continuous, steady
supply of the product to canneries.
Did you ever hear of an industry or
a slate building itself up by passing laws
against efficient methods of operation?
Of course not! Nor can the salmon in
dustry or Alaska go ahead by going back
wards.
The truth is that traps as well as gill
nets and seines are needed to carry on
and expand Alaska’s largest industry—
salmon fishing.
VOTE
■*>.-» i uhj g’g^v'flpi ar. rr
TO
TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS*
1. Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 (lavs but for
six to nine months for approximately 4.000
people, mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
t Alaska’s salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
would have to levy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses and individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. V. it bout traps,
at least 25 large canneries would close down
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men
would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscat *
them and you undermine the Territory'- sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop a
diversified economy.
6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it pnssibe for packers to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down these earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone loses.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America’s
position that it will be possible for Russia,
utilizing U. S. built floating canneries', to
seize this prize in world trade.
8. Traps represent large investments in venture
capital. Confiscate them and you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska's
future.
9. Traps-provide healthy conipetition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in
the catching of salmon.
10. Traps, seines and gill nets — ALT. THREE
TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack, \arv
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
