DELEGATE WANTS LOCAL
CONTI’,OL ON FISHERIES
SEATTLE I>:• n Snt erland,
DeVgate to Congress from Alas
tea. who has arrived from Juneau
er.route to Washington, declares
that he will present a bill in the
next session of Congress prop
using that tiie Alaska fisheries
be taken out of tile Lands of the
department of Commeive and
vested in the Alaska Territorial
Legislate re. Explaining his chan
ge of front on this proposition,!
Mr. Sutherland said:
“The Department of Cummer
ce is giving the big packer too
much consideration while the
small fisherman or independent
canneryman is fighting for a
foothold. The rules require that
such expensive gear and mach
inery be used that only well fin
anced corporations can qualify.’’|
The proposed bill will also inc
lude that Alaska men handle the
game situation now under the
Department of Agriculture.
ALASKA IS '‘AST
PICK AN I > SHOVEL
STAGE IN MINING
SEATTLE- The Cha uber of
Commerce of this city is prep
a ring data for Congress, oppos
ing the abandonment of the gov
eminent Alaska Railroad. It is
stated that gold mining is not
on a decline but in the ascend
er.< y, anti is past the pica and
shovel stage, with big capital
now in the field. Gold brought
from Alaska will show a dec d
ed incr vise. The report declares
that the United States Smeit
ing and Refit ing Company is
starting opeiationsat the Inter
lor terminus of tne road involv
leg over $8,000,000 expenditure,
which includes the installation
of a hydraulic plant, the build
ing of dredges, erection of a
powei plant using 25,000 tons of
Alaska coal annually, which the
Government road will haul, and
will construct ICO miles of ditch.
It adds:
“This sort of development
is what Alaska needs to furnish
a payroll and tonnage for the
railroad. As the Government
owns virtually all of Alaska it
is only right that the Govern
meet continue to operate the
road. It should be remembered
(dial when the Northwest was
being developed the Governm
ent subsidized the transcontin
ental lines which received enor
mous land grants.”
