Prosperity
1 tie prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the I *
i operation manifested by the many individuals and iustitu
j forming the community. There can be no lasting prosperi
y or genuine progress ;c the li. e of any community without
.‘•onest cooperation betv u all elements that in any way affect |jj
he common welfare.
So ?x .a with Alaska. No one section of this great land can [J
ii-oper for long at the expense of any other section; all construe- g
ve efforts must he so coordinated that but one outcome will re- jg
mlt—Cooperation;, and Cooperation means Prosperitl.
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 g
Territory.

1915 was the first year TRAPS
! were used iu Central Alaska and
\ gradually increased until 1919
\ most of the canneries went broke
i as the expenses of operating so
| many traps was more than the in
come. In 1921, 2 TRAPS were op
| erated with success so increased
from that year till last year there
were 46 TRAPS operated in the
Prince William Sound District and
| this year 10 additional TRAPS
will be built. 1923 was the small
year there being only 756,303 cas
es packed; 192 4 was a fair season
there being 1,607,920 cases packed.
In 1925, the WHITE BILL became
a law and despite the added restric
tions in 1926, 2.140,485 cases were
packed. All rulings which have
been put into effect have only cur
toiled the earning power of the
small operators and at the present
time the resident fishermen are al
most destitute.
In 1917 BRITISH COLUMBIA
OPERATED 87 CANNERIES AND;
( EMPLOYED 11,387 FISHERMEN|

1925 was the first year the COP-j
PER RIVER DELTA was barred;
from the use of.STAKE NETS, drift-!

ing only being done; this same year'
there was a 36 hour closing period
each week.
15.5S2 cases of RED SALMON
were put up in 1925.
14.000 cases of RED SALMON
were put up in 1926; this is not an
accurate report, but i3 fairly close:
Last season we were still using
drift nets but had an additional
12 hours closed period. Both sea
sons were fairly large runs of sal
mon; last season there was an
early breakup and also an early run
of fish, as the season opens the I
20th day of May, the fishermen
missed the early run which was the
main cause for so small a pack, al
so the season was closed the 28thj
day ot June instead of the 10th day j
of July so missed the late run.
1922 was the big year for the.

| oms of gear or an average of 500
fathoms of nets per boat while in
1925 and 26 each boat was limited
to 250 fathoms; there being 91
boats and numerous skiffs that
could only handle 150 fathoms, in
all 45,000 fathoms of gillnets were
used.
Prior to 1925, stake nets were
mainly used though some drifting
was done near the bars; most of the
stake nets had there beginning at
the grass banks but had to be a spe
cified distance from the mouths of
the Rivers and Sloughs. Very lit-1
tie time was lost on account of
storms. If too rough at high tide,
the men tended to the nets when j
the tide receded. They also had no;
closed period and designated day to j
commence or stop fishing.
With the rulings we have at pre
sent the season commences the 20th
day of May, and allowed 250 fath
oms of gear to each boat and not
permitted inside the 1500 foot limit
off the grass banks, only allowed to
drift; having a closing period of
4 8 hours per week and season clos
ing the 10th day of July. There
are thirty nets as far as gear is con
cerned, its there method of use. Drift
nets are moveable nets; set nets are
anchor nets and used where there
is sufficient water to float them at
all times and 3take nets are nets
hung on stakes and used on shallow
I laces where the tide rises and re
cedes. Fishermen maintain when
gillnets are used, they themselves
should he the ones who should de
cide on how to use them, also their
boats whether they should have
power or sail; the Bristol Bay rul*
ings forbidding the use of power
boats is not very consistent in the
advanced stage of modern conveni
ences that are at our command to
day.
