ALASKA FISHERIES EXPERT AS
HE SEES IT
--o
A. J. Sprague, Territorial Fish
Commissioner, recently gave a state
ment to the press as follows:
‘To nfore fully investigate and
secure a stream history of Alaska
work was started in 192 7. On May
19. 1928, by charter of the motor
boat Yakobi, over 70 streams in
Chatham and Peril Straits, Freder
ick Sound, Stephens Passage, Lynn
Canal and other places were visited
...nd the species of salmon in various j
streams were noted as well as their j
available spawning ground.
In the fall of 1927 and the earlv)
spring of 1928 a number of unknown,
lakes were found at the headwaters
of many streams above mean tide
lands. Mother Nature has indeed
taught us that her ways are not aim
less, voidless, topsy-turvy scheme of
creation for all life in the bays, es
tuaries and inland waters and shore
line is quivering, vibrating mass u
red Crustacea which has been dor
mant during the winter months onl'/
awaiting for the high spring tides
which wash and surge and scour
under rocks, cliffs, moss and snags,
her profound and ama'zing plan to
feed her millions of creatures or
the sea.
“Now comes the herring to feed
and spawn on nature’s bountiful
supply, while the instinct of the
young salmon coming from the lakes
and streams is to feed on the herring
eggs, and the herring young which
are being spawned in a gluelous, ‘
mass on rocks, moss, logs, branches \'
t
and submerged trees. Herring is the!
natural food at all stages of develop-^
ment for all kinds of commercial
fish.

“Before we destroy forever om
salmon and halibut, which all subse
quent knowledge and study can nev
er bring back, it is the duty of eve>’>
Alaska homeseeker, troller, halibu
fisherman and official interested ii
conservation to protest and do ev
ery thing possible in his pow-ji
against the ruthless and crimina
slaughter and waste of our herrinp
for oil and fertilizer.
“Don’t kid yourself about thest
good spasmodic runs of salmon. Yo i
have had your salmon failures ano
will have them again, for after aid
we know as little about the salmon
run of next year as we do about the
mosquito crop. But we do know that
to destroy the natural food suppiv
of the salmon or any other fish is
to destroy that fish as well.”
Mr. Sprague, who knowts from
many years of observation and study
and author the most successful meth
od of propogating salmon “scientific
ally” warns that the herring fisheries
are in immediate danger of deple
tion. Commissioner O’Malley says
there is no danger of depletion. On
ti e one hand we have a man who
has every reason to be honest, em
ployed by the people of Alaska, on
tile other we have a man speaking
dishonesty as lie has a duo-fold job,
to take care of his own and the con
servation of the “stink factories” for
revenue only.
ONLY ONE WAY
There is only way to conserve seed
for tlm future of the salmon fisheries
Curtail production. Port Althrop
(ir>,3 put up over 150,000 cases. Con
servation? Canners are over produc
ing instead of chrtailing. The
inly way to conserve the salmon see i
s to cut canneries with 100,000 case
lacks to 60 or 65,000 cases and every
“nnnery in proportion on their packs,
rhen there will be an escapement
hat will insure future production.
Mrs. William Tamaree who left
or I\ew Jersey recently writes that
he arrived at the home of her son
lamuel K. Paul, in Elizabeth, N.
without any difficulty. She thought
he home of the famous Jersey
‘skeeter” a pretty nice place but
he would not give any part of Alas
ka for ten Elizabeths. Perhaps she
s a wee bit homesick.
