Hon. Dan A .Sutherland,
Room 167 House Office Building,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Sir:
While in recent attendance
upon the B|ovember term of
court at Ketchikan, whence I
have just returned, I was given
the particulars of the charges
made against our mutual friend
William L. Paul, candidate for
the Territorial Legislature, in
relation to his support of the
'bill which I drew up last sum
jmer providing for leasing sal
Imon trap sites on tide lands in
Alaska to trap owners through
the United States Bureau of
Fisheries.
The Purpose of the Alexander
Bill of 1916
known the history of the bill in
question and had made it pub
lic, he would have kept the con
fidence of the fishermen voters,
notwithstanding the unfair ac
cusations of ;is and other op
ponents. I think the bill gives
peace between trap men in Alas
ka, prevents the “jumping” of
trapsites, compels trap owners
to pay license fees therefor
based on the amount of their
catch, and thereby tends to
conservation of salmon and the
better support of the fisheries
and the public treasury.
The Alexander Bill was a plan
to give congressional perpetual
leasehold title to trap sites in
Alaska. Section six of the bill
found in the proceedings of the
House of Representatives of Dec.
13, 1916, provided:
Sec. 6. FIXED NET LOCA
TIONS: That any person oc
cupying, or desiring to occupy,
any location where it may be
lawful to construct a pound
net (trap) in the waters of
Alaska, shall have such loca
tion to be accurately surveyed
by a competent surveyor. UN
LESS A SURVEY THEREOF
HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE,
IN WHICH EVENT SUCH EX
ISTING SURVEY MAY BE
USED, and shall cause three
maps to be made of such lo
cation from actual survey
thereof. * * * From and after
the date of filing in the office
of the commissioner of re
cords such map shall consti
tute full and complete notice
that the locator has complied
with all the provisions of this
Act in regard to such loca
tion and that such location is
owned, held, occupied and
claimed by the person desig
nated tliereon as claimant.***
FROM AND AFTER THE FIL
ING OF THE MAP IN THE
CASE OF A POUND NET
(trap) or from and after the
posting of the number of the
license, as above provided in
tlie case of stake net or set net
THE CLAIMANT OF THE
FISHING LOCATION SHOWN
ON SUCH MAP, or marked by
such number, HIS HEIRS, AD
MINISTRATOR, EXECUTORS,
SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS,
SHALL HAVE THE EXCLUS
IVE RIGHT TO HOLD, OC
CUPY, AND FISH IN SUCH
LOCATION, TO RENEW THE
LICENSE THEREOF AND TO
MORTGAGE, SELL, LEASE,
OR TRANSFER THE SAME
DURING THE TIME THAT
IIE OR THEY IN OTHER RE
SPECTS SHALL C O M PL Y
WITH THE LAW RELATING
THERETO.”
After carefully reading even
this part of the bill, I think you
must agree with me that the
Alexander Bill WAS a plan to
give a Congressional perpetual
leasehold title to trap sites in j
Alaska, and that I only did my
duty in bringing about its de-,
feat in the House. I call your
special attention to the pro
ceedings in the House of Repre
sentatives on December 13, 1916,
so that you may discover for
yourself the difference between
the Alexander Bill and the bill
under consideration.
' The Proposed Substitute for the
Alexander Bill
The bill under consideration
and which Mr. Paul is said to
have approved, is entitled, “An
Act to amend section 8 of the
Act of Congress of June 6,
1924, entitled ‘An Act for the
protection of the fisheries of
Alaska, and for other purpos
es.’ ” It is substantially identic
al with the one proposed by me
in 1916 in my effort to defeat
the Alexander Bill, which was
only defeated by the happy ac
cident that the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
had only a single day in which
to secure its passage, and failed
to do so because of the many
amendments offered by me. Un
der the House rules if it failed
(as it did) to pass that day, it
could not be called again that
session of Congress.
I now call yonr attention to
the effort made to secure the
adoption of the substitute trap
site leasing bill in 1916, and to
my statement in relation to that
matter on December 13, 1916, as
contained in the House pro
ceedings of that day where the
following colloquy occurred:

BRIDGE PARTY
Mrs. Martin Enge entertained
at Bridge last Wednesday even

Charles Anderson who is leav

relatives in Vancouver, B. C.,

Five tables of bridge were play
ed with Mrs. Tate winning the
first prize and Mrs. Knute
Thompson, the conciliation prize
The rooms were prettily decor
ated with Spring flowers, and a
very delicious lunch was enjoy
ed by the guests.

HAVE YOU NOTICED :

That Johnnie Sales went one
better than Conrad Bowman in

That Mayor Ohmer has a new
fence around his residence and
yard and that his newly seeded
lawn is getting green.
That the wild high-bush col
umbine is in evidence in and
about town.
That the strawberries we buy in
the stores now are large as well
as sweet.
That the Town Hall has a new
sign on it and may be mistaken
for anything but a town hall.
That several of the houses an
front street still look drab and
unpainted.
That the marshal can come
and the marshal can go but the
moonshines forever.
That the City’s front yard
looks like Finnigan’s backyard
and the tourist season is on us
already.
That since Hans Wick “resign
ed” as city marshal, there has
been no reports of dog poison
ing.
That window displays in the
several stores are real tempting
to the buying public.
That Fourth of July plans are
so much in the background that
it does not bode for much of a
celebration in honor of Inde

A SUBSCRIBER COMMENS
-o
Dear Editor:.
The comment in your May 17
issue on the statement of Mr.
Donnelly, Representative from
the Fairbanks District that “he
was glad to be a member of the
House as the Senate represents
the Fifth Division” was quite
timely. We all know that Mr.
Donnelly played the part of “fi
do” for the Seattle cannery lob
by and the bureau crowd during
the legislative session.
Mr. Donnelly is a BUSINESS
MAN and he wanted that fact to
be clearly understood by all per
sons who came in contact with
him at Juneau. Quite natural
ly a business man associates
with business men only and
when ordinary fishermen and
working persons sought his in
terest in their cause they re
ceived the “glassy gaze.”
When Mr. Donnelly spoke of
the Alaska Senate as the Fifth
Division he was just stirring up
a little dust to obscure the view
of himself that observers caught
while he was carrying out the
wishes of the Seattle lobby.
No member of the Alaska Le
gislature since its first session
has been more obedient to the
lobby than this same Mr. Don
nelly and his criticism of the Sen
ate was not only in bad taste
but just as false as Mr. Donnel
ly’s pretense of sympathy with
the laborers of Fairbanks and
Iditarod.
Donnelly’s record on the com
pensation act and the tax on
trap caught salmon should be
published in his home town so
that his neighbors may judge
who represented the Fifth Di
vision.
The great thing in this world
is not so much where we stand
as .in what direction we are
moving.—Oliver Wendell Holmes
