FISHING ON YUKON
Some days ago Delegate Wick
ersham had a conference with
Henry O'Malley Commissioner ot
Fisheries, on the proposed regu
lation that would permit limited
commercial fishing in waters ]
outside of the Yukon River. The
Delegate submitted many letters]
and petitions that he had receiv
ed on the subject from residents
of Alaska in the area affected.'
At the conclusion of the discus
ion the Commissioner expressed
the opinion that he would re
commend to the Secretary of
Commerce that the regulation
be made effective January 1,
1932, and if it should develop
£>l'ter the first season that it
was proving harmful to the re
sidents of the Yukon River, the
regulation would be revoked.
Later ether petitions we re re
leceived which did not tend to
change the Commissioner’s view
point, and which brought forth a
letter under date of October 5, in
which, ameng other things Com
missioner O’Malley said:
“I feel that the many petitions
addressed to you indicate clear
ly a preponderance of sentiment
among residents of the Yukon
s region favorable to limited com
mercial fishing in waters outside
the Yukon. The petition from
[Ruby advocates that the Yukon
[River be opened to commercial
fishing from its mouth to the
Canadian boundary and that a
I limit be placed on the exportable
! pack of any person, corporation
[or association. In this connec
| ticn, let me say, the White Law
1 ot June 6, 1924, does not give the
, Sec. etar-y of Commerce author
ity to open the Yukon River to
Commercial filling for export
! purposes. It is only waters 500
! yards outside each mouth of the
j Yukon that can be opened for
such commercial activities.
“In the petitions on the letter
! heads marked ‘Nenana’ it is ask
ed that the Government prohibit
the establishment of a cannery
cr canneries at or within the
mouth of the Yukon. It is ob
vious that those responsible for
the signing of these petitions
have been laboring under a mis
apprehension that a salmon
cannery or canneries would be
1 established in the Yukon delta
region. In this connection 1
, want to say that nothing of the
j sort has been contemplated or is
likely to occur by reason of the
I proposed new regulation.
! The exceedingly limited
I amount of commercial fishing in
i waters outside the Yukon, which
! would be allowed, would not jus
tify the establishment of anj
salmon cannery. The cost ol
bringing a cannery into this re
gion would be prohibitive. The
tctal catch of 50,000 king salm
on would be divided among all
persons engaged in commercial
fishing in these waters.
“The only thing contemplated
by the proposed new regulation
is that mild-curing or salting
operations will be conducted b>
local residents of the lower Yu
kon region. The work would be
done by the local residents, whc
are in an impoverished condition
and need economic relief. There
would be no influx of outsider!
from the states in connection
with any such activities.
“May I reaffirm my statement
to you to the effect that if aftei
one seasn’s trial the new regula
tion proves detrimental, it wil
be rescinded. Under no circum
stances do we want to work s
hardship on any of the people oj
Alaska; it is our earnest purpose
to be of assistance whenever pos
sible. I feel that real benefits
can be made available to the re
sidents of the Yukon delta sec
tion by the proposed new regu
lation for very limited commer
cial fishing in waters outside the
Yukon; this can be done without
detriment to the runs of salmon
or to any person in the Territory
of Alaska.”

SEAL HERD MONEY
Alaska Chambers of Commerce
are sending in resolutions to the
Delegate asking him to support
the memorial passed by the last
Legislature and try to secure 50
per cent of the amount received
by the United States from its
share in the operations in the
seal fisheries on the Pribiiof Is
lands, for the Territory. The
Delegate is- heartily in favor of
trying to secure this revenue for
the Territorial treasury.
