[rum battle takes queer
TURN IN WASHINGTON
-x
Tlie battle of the Wets and
Drys in Washington took a de
cidedly queer yet serious turn in
Seattle during the past two
weeks. Just about the time the
Republicans met in convention
at Bellingham, the grand jury
was listening to statements by
men whose convictions for viola
tion of the prohibition laws, was
secured by Lyle and Whitney
with their force of prohibition
agents in Washington. Wheth
er this had any political signi
ficance or not at the convention,
is not relevant at this time
Lyle, piohiuition administrat
or for Washington, Alaska and
other areas, had the reputation
of being a hard, narrow and
fierce prosecutor, giving little
and demanding rll that the law
required. Whitney was said to
be the real power behind Lyle
the Administrator. McKinney,
the only member of the force
who failed to report to the court
and have bond set, was a former
member of district attorney Re
velle’s office.
The prohibition department of
Washington is charged, by the
Olmstead liquor ring and others,
with being the directing force
of liquor operations on the coast
wherein over 90,000 cases of li
quor was landed. When Olm
stead was sent up to do his rap
at McNeil’s, it was supposed that
the operations of the ring would
cease. It didn’t. Investigators
went into the matter with the
result that the Prohi agents were [
indicted for conspiracy, bribery '
and violation of the laws they
were sworn to enforce.

for the liquor ring was one of the
key men at the hearing. A char
acter all his own, Hubbard play
ed honest administrator of the
law when convenient and direct
ed operations of the liquor gang
when that was more convenient.
If the evidence submitted the
grand jury has any truth, it is
not improbable that this case
will have as far reaching effect
as the Remus case. When the
ring begins to double-cross it
self, the whole political structure
trembles and upheavals take
place with more or less other
up-heavals until the gang gets
together, buries the “hatchet”
and builds up a new, well “oiled”
machine which pays tribute in
various ways and gets its illicit
wares on the market.
WHO BEARS CONSERVATION
-o
Bureaucrats and their sycho
phantic horde of federal mass
voters and beneficiaries, prate of
the “conservation measures” of
the Bureau of Fisheries that are
so beneficial to the Territory.
Let us look stt some of th ;se
measures: _
. .Virtually every bay in South
eastern Alaska is closed to the
seine fisherman.
At stregetic points just out
side of every bay, are great traps
which catch the salmon that the
fishermen used to catch. Now
in the name of “conservation”
the fishermen look on and watch
the traps operate.
The seine is limited to 250
fathoms in length and 250 mesh
rs in depth, meshes limited to
P/2 inches stretched.
There is no limit as to length
)f any trap lead, except when a
trap extends into water of over
100 feet in depth.. Some traps
ire more than three quarters of
i mile in length.
The length and mesh of the
:eine is limited;
In the same waters the trap is
without limit.
The seiner must have his seine
lear of all salmon by the begin
ling of any closed season;
The trap is not required to be
impty of any salmon and at all
imes salmon are left as a blind
n a trap to cover its illegal op
‘ration.
The seiner is not allowed to
Take or kill” any salmon during
my closed period;
Trap operators violate this
section of the law every closed
>eriod of every season without
iny protest from the Bureau of
fisheries, its agents, officials of
he Territory of fishermen EX
CEPT William L. Paul, The Alas
ka Fisherman and The Alaskan.
The gillnetter may not use any
inchors in his operations; ..
The floating traps have as
nany as eight anchors none of
vhich weigh under one ton.
No seiner can use an auxilliary
ead when holding-hook from
he shore or in any operation.
Is not met by an equal limit
m trap leads..
Trap leads even reach into the
timber and as far down as it is
physically possible to put them..
Trollers are limited to com
nercial catching of salmon to
;ix pounds or better;
The trap catches every species
Df salmon and fish, a large per
:entage of which are not used
sven for fertilizer; small king
salmon, trout, codfish, halibut,
herring are all legal fish for the
trap; the fisherman conserves for
the traps to destroy.
WHAT IS MEANT BY ‘EQUAL
CONSERVATION’
-X
During the recent primary
election Judge Wickersham de
clared that he was in favor of
the equal conservation of sal
mon and the equal opportunity
to secure salmon.
Some there were who scoffed
at his statement and said that
the distribution of salmon was
equal.
. .Haynes DeWitte of Kake de
dared recently that he could not
understand how anyone with an
iota of brain could fail to see
what was meant. Said he: “If
a trap catches 100,000 salmon is
1 it not right that five men operat
ing a seine boat shall have the
'same right and opportunity to
'catch 100,000 salmon? If an area
! is closed is it fair that a trap
| shall be permitted to take sal
jmon going into that area from
jits strategic position just out
side the boundaries.. There is
not an equal distribution of the
take of this resource—not by al
most fifty per cent—which is to
the hurt of fishermen and to ev
ery businessman in the Terri
tory.
Keep the imagination young.
