Prosperity
The prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the
i operation manifested by the many individuals and institu
. m-j forming the community.'I here can be no lasting prosperi
y or genuine progress in theli.e of any community without
.'.unest cooperation between all elements that in any way affect
ihe common welfare.
So it is with Alaska. No one section of this great land can
t rosper for long at the expense of any other section; all construc
ve efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
sult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperity
It is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such service as will best serve the citizens of the entire
Territory.

| to the change that ha3 taken place.
Above all else It proves with a
pressing clearness what important
: role those few but very rich years
: have played. If we take the year
1904, the richest spawning year we
; have had, this lot began as “three
; yearlings” in the season of 1907,
■ (hen we see them in the following
: year when they are 4-year old as
the best year, and in the season of
1910 they appear in such superior
numbers that it practically over
shades all other years and for sev
ral years are they the dominating
i
number. Even as late as 1923 is
the herring from the year 1904 to
be found in fair numbers in spite
of the fact that the herring has
been increased by several each sea
, son. The fish is then about 19
years old. However, by this time
it is difficult to ascertain with any
degree of certainty this age. But
since the neighboring years have
been poor, one may be able to
count about 17 rings therefore the
illustration in the main is correct.
At present it appears as the year
1918, whose individuals are 8-years
is the next best year. And it is
good to know that the army has
gotten a good recruiting, because
it looked rather questionable a few
seasons ago—1921-22. In those
years the herring from 1904 had be
come old—17-18 years and the next
great quantity were from 1913.
Eight years in 1921 and 9—1922
but that year the herring did not
reach the quality of 1904. The
amount of grown ones were in their
year without doubt less than it had
been for many years, and it certain
ly was not a good sign that the
“spouts” from 1916 and 1917 for
a couple of seasons became very
prominent. It stands to reason
that if the quantities of the old
spawners are small, then the simi
lar addition recruits will make
quite a change. Changes in the age
of the herring follow in rapid suc
cession among the young ones is a
suggestion that the quantities are
small; and this suggestion became
very noticeable in 1922.
However in 1923 the situation
improved considerably. The ‘spouts’
in 1918 came in the form of 5
year old herring and our present
supply of herring is largely com
posed of the ‘spouts’ from 1918.
I write this with a purpose in view,
since there are signs that indicates
that a supply of herring from one
year is coming. Big catches have
been made that contain great quan
tities of herring from 1921; and we
those recruit3 later on In the season.
Our investigations, built on scien
tific facts warrant the following
conclusion: The size of our herring
supply found along the coast of
Norway varies a great deal. Some
years the fishermen have great
quantities to take from, other years
less.
To get a true measure of these
changes within the herring supply
is one of the main problems that
has been placed before the Norweg
ian Herring Commission. The prob
lem may very likely be solved.
However, since we cannot here
make use of mathematics, it would
be too intricate to try to explain
It.
