THE FISHING COMBINE.
Some excellent suggestions are
contained in the recommendations
made by the grand Jury which ad
journed at Valdez this week. Chief
among these is one asking that some
equitable form of taxation be devised
for the fishing interests of the coast.
The jury recited one Instance in
which a corporation packing 800,000
cases of salmon paid the government
32 cents in taxes.
An agent of the company furnished
an affidavit that his concern had re
leased enough red salmon fry to
entitle it to a tax rebate of $32.27 2,
The affidavit did not even have to
be proven to the court. Accordiug
to the present law, as set forth by
the grand jury, the unsupported
word of any agent is sufficient to
release fishing corporations from
paying taxes. The government fos
ters the industry for the benefit of
these private interests and then al
lows them to escape the payment of
taxes.
Polk's Alaska directory claims
there is $17,000,000 invested in the
fishing industry at the present time.
Jl says further: "Today there are 47
canneries and 22 saltertes in full op
eration, the value of which com
bined the yearly output approxi
mates $8,000,000. The industry grew
with extreme rapidity. Canneries
were constructed at a cost of from
150,000 to $120,000 each, and enor
mous profits were realized from the
investment. When it was found, in
1892, that the supply of canned sal
mon was exceeding the demand, a
combination was formed, with the
result that by mutual understanding
several canneries were shut down,
the owners coming into the general
pool and receiving a pro rata share
oX the profits from the active can
neries."
Over 10,000 persons were employ
ed the past season of whom over
4.000 were white men. Congressional
legislation has been devised to keep
aliens from encroaching on the fish
ing grounds. In fact, legislation so
far, it would seem, has been devised
principally to perpetuate and protect
a powerful combination in ravishing
the wealth of the most valuable fish
ing grounds in the world without pay
ing a cent in return toward the sup
port of the territory.
True, in lieu of taxes, the com
panies are supposed to release sal
mon fry, but on this point the grand
jury said: "Your grand Jury is of
the opinion that this fry for the re
lease of which the government is
paying, is mainly for the benefit of
these companies." ? Cordova North

BUSY WINTER I
FOR BALL MEN
With the baseball cauipaigu of 1909
only ? memory, the funs are beginning
to speculate ou what will happen next
Mason ou the big circuits aud bow
the club presidents anil managers will
solve the problems that are confront
ing them. There Is no rest for the
maguates these days, for they always
have to be peeriug into the future aud
arranging for contingencies that may
arise.
Many players will be traded, new
managers will be obtained, and train
ing camps will be selected.
John T. Brush of New York will
speud lots of time with Manager Mc
Graw, In all probability on the ques
tion of strengthening the (.Slants by
trades with other clubs and also on
the proposition of training in Texas
again uext spring.
The question of the Brooklyn's train
ing camp uext spring is not worrying
Charley Kbbets at the Immediate mo
uieut. The latter is after a uew man
ager aud uutil he gets oue will let the
tralulug matter slide. The showing
made by Harry Lumley as a com
mander was not good enough to con
tinue hiiu lu office, though the judge
has uot as yet tendered his resigna
tion nor l>oeu officially tired. How
ever, It is a certainty that he is to re
sume his place among the privates.
Charles n. wants a pilot of more i
spirit than the once noted slugologlst |
and Is hot on the trail of Johnny Kling.
Failing to get the latter. Kbbets prob
ably will offer the management of the
Brooklyn club to "Wee William"' Kee
ler. who lsu't all In as a player by any
means, but who probably would re
ceive his release from the New York
American league club were Farrell to
learu that the little veteran had a
chance to advance In his profession.
Ebbets thinks that with an aggres
sive player like Kecler or Kllng at
the head of his club the young stars
of the Brooklyn team would pay well
euough to put the Superbas in the first
division? a place tliey haven't seeu for
a long time.
libbcts isn't the only major league
magnate who is searching for a pilot
for his team. Robert l ee Hedges,
owner of the St. I.ouN Browns, wants
a man to succeed Jim McAleer. Jack
O'Connor at one time was thought to
have the positiou cinched, but Jack
and Roliert l.ee are l'ar apart on the
question of terms, with only a remote
possibility of either giving in.
The owners of the Philadelphia Na
tional league club also want a new
leader. They have a manager now lu
Blily Murray, but since Bob Davis
sold his st<><'k in the Quaker organ
ization it looks as if William J. would
have to step down and out. The Phil
lies, besides being on the lookout for
some one to Iwul the team, are after
new players, and ii would not be sur
prising to see some big trades pulled
..fT which would rid the Philadelphia
club of many of its rapidly fadiug
stars.
The two presidents who will be able
to sit back aud tuke things easy dur
Inn the orr season are Barney L>rey
fU88 of Pittsburg and Frank Na . ln of
Detroit Their troubles will principal
ly come when the players' contracts
are sent out. Then there will be an
overwhelming demand from Pirates
and Tigers for large Increases in sal- .
arles, and the holdout league will gain
luauy temporary recruits. Johu Dovey
of Boston will hare to put in a busy
off season. Uls team is considered a 1
joke everywhere, particularly In Bos
ton. and It needs strengthening badly.
Stanley Robison's problem In St.
LouW is how to get Roger Bresnahau
to curb his temper and keep the in
ventor of the shlu guurds from spend
ing all 'the money the team muile iu
talent of a low grade. Stanley isn't
as much stuck on Roger as he was a
year ago, and neither is the St. Louis
public.
The acquisition of Hugh Duffy as
leader of the Chicago Americans is the
tirst move of Charlie Comlskey In a
grand shakeup In the ranks of his
White Sox. The "Old Roman" was
sadly disappointed with the showing
of his team against the Cubs in the
Chicago championship series. At the
time Comlskey said that he would In
augurate a general housecleanlng bee,
lu which such heads as George Davis,
Frank Isbell. Doc White, Tunnehili
aud n bunch of other of the fumed
hltlcss winuers might be expected to
fall.
The Cleveland magnates have their
work cut out for them. The Naps
looked mighty poor when the season
ended, and Somers and Klifoyl hope,
with McGuire's assistance, to trans
form them Into contenders for the
American league flag. If the Cleve
land magnates did nothing else during
the off season thau refuse offers for
Larry Lajole their time would be fully
occupied.
All In all, the off season of 1909
promises to be a busy one for all per
ions connected with the national pas
