KISH TB.VP BILL
KILl.KI) IX SKN'ATK
The Sutherland fish trap bill, aim
ed to abolish fish traps in Alaska
wa'.is, w;i3 killed In the Senate Sat
urday by a voto of five to three.
Senators Sutherland, Tanner and
ttoden voted for passage of the bill
to its third reading, but the votes
of Kreedltig, Tripp, Millard and
Rav effectually killed the bill. Sen
ator Sutherland made the only ex
tended address and his speech was
one of the best heard lu the legis
lature. Senator Sutherland, who w a
formerly an operator on the banks
of: Gloucester, declared tho fish
trap men were usiug special privi
lege. which is being prohibited all
ovtr the United States, and that un
der the Jones bill, now before Con
gress, they were seeking to legallxe
their trap sites to the detriment of
the fishing Industry. He declared
the bureau of fisheries to be control
led 'by the Alaska Puckers Associa
tion interests, and that the agent of
the bureau was only carrying out th
policy of the heads of the depart
ment in urging tlsh traps. Ho al
so declared he was willing to abide
by the decision of tho attorney gen
eral regarding the rights of the Al
aska le ,'isl.iture to enact legislation
effecting tho fisheries. Senator
Sutherland declared tho traps to be
the pirates of the seas as far as
fishing went, an enemy not only to
the Hah but tho flihermen, und read
ut length from tha report of Gov
ernor Clark and others, who had op
posed fish trapa at Washington, D.C.
Ho presented a petition signed by
nearly three thousand residents of
th'j section against the fish traps,
reid considerable data, on the sub
ject and made an eloquent appoal
In support of tht; bill.
Senator .Millard when the matter
first came up, read to the Senate a
letter from Senator Nelson, which
stat d In his opinion tho Alaska leg
islature had uo right to pass fishing
legislation. The senator declared he
was awaiting word from the attor
ney gouerai, and would not vote for
any legislation when In doubt about
Its being legal.
A motion to reconsider will be
raised later by Senator Sutherland,
who filed proper notice.

Tho copper cent la a product of

Almost pure copper is used to
make our only copper coin. This
pure copper is secured by an elec
tric process. In tho old days it was
e very expensive process to refine
cop|>er ore and the resultant copper
waj> far from being pure. Now this
?'oftnlng is tione by electricity, much
the same way as electroplating is ac
complished. The copper ore is place J
in a tank near the positive plate of
r. battery r.ud the electric current
iurned on. The copper Is rapidly
broken up into minute particles, call
ed atoms, which aro carried through
the water by the passago of oloctrlc

plate of the tank. Tho result is
known as "electrolytic copper" whic
is the purest known in tho metal lu
