the spawning season, or at least
to let enough escape to the
spawning ground to furnish a
run two or four years later.
“Demagogues in and out of
congress made many charges
against both Mr. Hoover and Mr.
O'Malley, but these officials stood
pat. They took the viewpoint
that their first du'ly was to the
salmon, and not to the salmon
packer. The fact that today
there is not a canneryman in the
whole length and breadth of■
Alaska who is not an ardent sup
1 orter of the provisions of the
Jones-White Act speaks for the
wisdom manifested under feder
al control, and is the indorse
ment of the pending treaty.”
lie Praises Himself
Any .egotistical, .red-headed,
self-orinionated man can write
up praise of Irimself and damn
opposition with the same pen.
The Canners Association op
posed the White Act and it has
been condemned in their politic- 1
al mouthpiece at Juneau on sev- _
fra! occasions. O'Malley and his I
department opposed that law
which ho now delights in claim- ,
mg as his own idea.
“Conservation”"
i
When Jermano'malley declares!*
that the King’s regulations were :
for “conservation” of salmon, t
’hey p'ace upon themselves the !
brand of Ananias. The official !
records as published by O’Malle' t
show that during the war period 1
8 i»J»
(1914 to 1919 inclusive) the av
erage pack was 5,215,332 cases;
during the period of 1924-1928
inclusive, under the White Law
ne (O'Malley), demonstrated
“that the only way to save the
salmon was to stop killing them
during the spawning season, the
average pack was 5,209,177 cas
es or within G.000 of the “war
years.” Drastic curtailment was
not of destruction of salmon but
drastic discrimination against
resident fishermen in favor of
foreign owned traps.
Lacing the Issue Honestly
Since 1908 the Canadians have
faced depletion of their fisher
ies and honestly made effort
without discrimination towar
their resident fishermen to con
serve the resource. All their ef
forts have been negatived by tlv
O'Malley policy till the dange
!o the Canadian fisheries ha
leached the point where thei
officials declare that “Wo are al
led up on raising fish for your
benefit. Either we will have a
roaty to regulate the taking of
he fish in a manner that will
guarantee a sufficient escape
nent to the spawning grounds
r the hatcheries will not be op
Mated.” In other words, the so
:alled conservation methods se
orth by O’Malley have fallen s*
hr short of honest conservation
hat unless it is improved by ac
ual curtailment of production
he Canadians will clean up thei
latcheries and can all the seer

O’MALLEY PLANS NORTHWEST
FISHERIES LABORATORY
“On May 21; 1930, the Presi
dent approved legislation passed
by Congress which authorizes a
five-year construction and main
tenance program for the United
States Bureau ofFisheries. This
contains an item of $125,000 for
j a fisheries laboratory in the state
1 of Washington. When the mon
ey is appropriated, it is my plan
to locate the plant at Seattle on
land acquired from the War De
pai-tment, a part of the old Lake
Washington Canal right of way
between Lake Washington and
Lake Union, adjoining the Seat
tle Yacht Club west of Montlake
'Yvenue near tne university ui
Washington. The site comprises j
learly seven acres. Improve- ^
ments necessary for the proper
use of this site willl include the
hedging of a channel, and the
building of a dock and ma
chine shop to serve as a place for •
locking and overhauling the Bu
reau’s fleet of vessels used in
Maska.—Henry O’Malley in Pa
cific Fishermen.
The people of Alaska should I
V'e pleased with the above bit of ;
news. The syncopated, hyphen- •
-•ted. bureaucratic press of the ;
Territory should be proud of the! I
way their great hero, the King I 3
of Alaska, builds up the Terri- j j
1 ory. i ■\
Build machine shops, ship ways (
in Seatte to “overhaul the Bu- j
•eau’s Alaska fleet.”
Evidently there is no suitable
land and waters in the entire
Territory available for construc
tion of such a plant as contem
plated by O’Malley. And the
study of Alaska fisheries is more
important as an added course to
the University of Washington
than to our own Alaska Agricul
tural College. It is evidently of
greater import to non-residents
to have opportunity to study in
such an institution in Washing
ton whereby they may be given
employment in Alaska and other
fishing areas than for Alaskans
to study in an Alaskan institu
tion whereby they may be em
ployed in the Alaska fishing in
i
dustry.
As the sycophantic press of
the Territory have failed to
sound their praises of O’Malley
for further building up Seattle at
Alaska’s expense, we will humbly
do it for them. God bless the
King of Alaska; may the new
xing live lortg and continue to
depopulate Alaska and build up
Seattle. The sooner he does this
•the better will be Alaska for then
Alaskans will 'rule Alaska and
their failures will be chargeable
to themselves and not to any
foreign sovereign or buric rat.

TOO BUSY KOWTOWING
Recently Forest officials were
n Wrangell and the millmen
ond business men were busy
showing them the proposed ex
tension of the Shoemaker Bay
Road. A logger from the West
Coast happened along and ask
’d: “Have you people stated your
/ejections to the regulations
vdiich are slowly choking you to
to death”? “No,” was the reply
The logger came to Petersburg
and expressed contempt for the
kowtowing to the Forest officials

Said he, “The forest regulations

Properly presented by the va

ALASKA CONTRIBUTES MOST
Fish canning On the Pacific.
Coast last year amounted to 80.7
per cent of the total production
in the United States. The total
valuation of canned fishery pro
ducts was $101,065,056.01 this to
tal, Alaska, Oregon, Washington
and California produced $81,556,
307. Alaska’s share of the coast
al production was $40,673,061;
Washington’s share was $11,547.
504; California’s fish was twice
the value of Washington’s and
Oregon was low with four and
three quarter million dollars
Maine produced a hundred thou
sand dollars worth less than
eight million.
[. .So long as the Bureau of Fish
I eries wants to get its machine
.'hops, shipyards, and fish labor
atories some distance out of the
Territory which produces as
much value in canned fish pro
ducts as several states, it might
not be amiss to suggest that the
Bureau establish such yards back
in Maine. Just think what nice
little trips it would mean to the
[Big Chiefs and Little Chiefs who
rule Alaska. And Maine is en
titled to some consideration bj
the Bureau of Fisheries.
Alaska? She is nothing but ar
dligitimate child—an unwanted
little bastard without any pater
nal care or consideration. “Thej
are only Indians up there any
how and the sooner they ge
starved out the easier it will b<
to get control of the fisheries.”

“HARD TO GET” IS NOT HARD
TO SEE
In the past we have always
ieen Dorothy Mackail “teamed"
vvith some other star of the First
National-Vitaphone constella
tion. Now she is on her own
and her followers will be pleased
when they see “Hard to get” at
The Coliseum, Saturday.
The story concerns the adven
tures of a New York manikin
who, each morning on her way
from her parents’ home to an ex
clusive modiste shop, hunts for
a rich man. Her choice as be
tween the rich man and a poor
man is thequestion—what shall
she do? Khe cannot maice up ner
own mind and she refuses to list
en to advice from her family.
But she answers the question in
ner own way and in her own
time.

ating play are Charles Delaney,
Louise Fazenda, James Finlay
son, Jack Oakey and Margaret
Beaudine who supply roars of
laughter and a human touch
that make prominent contrasts
“HONKY TONK” AT COLISEUM
SUNDAY
——x
Sophie Tucker, the perrennial
“red hot mamma” of the variety
stage, is featured in “Honky
Tonk,” Warner Bros., latest talk
ing, singing Vitaphone produc
tion which comes to the Colise
um, Sunday.
.. In this brilliant picture she is
the center of the riotous gayety
of the “Honky Tonk” night club
in New York—the singer of roll
icking songs in the “floor show”
and the bright particular star
who is the principal attraction
of the cabaret. And all the while
she dreams of the daughter
whom she is keeping at a fash
ionable school and in ignorance
of her mother’s real life.
Sophie sings a number of her
most famous songs, as well as
some that will be famous.
She is truly in her element in
“Honky Tonk” but it is shown
that her hidden but most en
grossing interest is her grown
daughter, who has been in an
European boarding school from
childhood and does not know
that her mother is anything less
conventional than a sedate con
cert singer.
. .There comes a day when the
truth seperates mother and
daughter and a note of tragedy
shrieks above the roar of jazz
Miss Tucker’s supporting cast
includes George Duryea, Audrey
Ferris, Mahlon Hamilton, Lila
Lee, and John T. Murray, and
the production was directed by
Lloyd Bacon, director of A1 Jol
son’s sensational success, “The
Singing School."
