What the Chronicle decries i
he lumber industry is true i
he fishing industry. Importe

mills whereby box lumber is du
placed with paper boxes. In tb
fisheries Ketchikan alone sup
ported 3,000 imported laborei

huge traps have displaced moi

are now brought in to take car

“The function and the activitie
of the Alaska Division of the Bu

Commerce, partake of two mor
oi less distinct lines of endea
vor: First, the protection an
conservation of the salmon an

“As indicative of the exten
and complexity of conservin
the fishes of Alaska, it is neces
;ary to deal with an industr
employing 28000 persons, witl
an investment of $75,000,00(
capital, and yielding product
wo-th $55,000,000. annually, am
moreover located along mor
chan 10,000 miles of coast lim
i oa embracing salmon, halibul
herring, cod, whales, clams
crabs, shrimps and less impor
■ ant species.”
Mr Bower says, farther: “Alas
ca produces two-thirds of th
world’s supply of salmon.”
“The salmon industry include
approximately 85’ < of the fisher;
activity of the Territory.”
“The new law (The act o
June, 1924) gives broad and com
prehensive authority to the Sec
retary of Commerce to establisl
Ashing areas and within thes<
areas prescribe seasons, kinds o
apparatus, and places wher<
fishing may be conducted.”
“In all waters where salmor
run there shall be an escapemeni
of not less than 50 per centun
o the spawning grounds.”
“To estabish migration route:
cf salmon large numbers of fish
have been tagged and released
The subsequent recapture of ?
nortion of the tagged fish give?
valuable data showing whal

“Activities, other than above
'nclu.de the removal of natural

Mr. Peter Hobson passed away
Sept., 18th. Mr Hobson was a
member of the Angoon Camp of
the Alaska Native Brotherhood.
Among the ones that the Lord
has called home the past sum
mer were: Mrs. William Thomas,
Miss Ida Johnson, daughter of
, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Johnson.
Mrs Emmie Hamberg is# over

•’isiting friends here.
Mr and Mrs. Henry Wilson and
Miss Margaret Smith are the
Angoon school staff.
Mrs. J. R. Maurstad is the
nurse here.
Miss Polly Kooshesh who is
getting medical treatment at
Seattle will soon be coming home
Jimmie Paul is back from Se

Johnny Hunter came back t(
' Angoon from the Marine Hospi
tal in Port Townsend for hi:
last resting place. Johnny gavs
his life to save Capt. O’Connor’:
and the Bilreau of Fisheries boai
“Widgeon” last year when it weni
aground near Chatham Straits
In the rough weather and storn
ne put a line on the Widgeon anc
with the help of another boat
pulled the grounded vessel of
the beach and saved her. Thi
crew were just on the point o
deserting the vessel when Hunfce
e happened along,
e Johnny took sick from the ex- |
i posure at that time and later!
e entered the Hospital at Juneau. [
Last spring he went south to the :
: Marine Hospital only to return
si to his home in a coffin. We do
- not suppose that O’Connor will
f appreciate what Hunter’s efforts
e mean to him nor will he admit
- that Hunter gave his life to save
3 men who were always fighting
3 Hunter and his people. The Bro

Kake’s fishing fleet has been; I
increased approximately twenty- j I
five percent this fall due to pur- 1
chases by local fishermen. Ten 3
boats have been bought from i |
fishermen at Petersburg, Tyee, j I
Ketchikan and elsewhere and §
tied up in the home port.
Those buying boats were Char- ! |
lie Newton, Joe Peterson, Adam j |
James, Forrest Dewitt, Rollo Sha- j \
quanie, David Friday, Isaac'
Katass, Charlie Wilson, Tommy:
Jackson and David Kahklen. All i
the boats are trollers excepting
one halibut boat and a pleasure;
craft.

Kake children at the Sheldon

f Eighty-one students are in at

' Mrs. Beatrice Huston, govern
jment nurse, has left the service
! to enter the Public Health Ser
jvice at New York. She will pro
bably be stationed at the Ellis
Island Detention Hospital. Shej
had been nurse at Kake since
last February, and her leaving is
regretted by all.
Creeks in the vicinity of Kake
are virtually over-crowded by
what is believed to be the heavi- i
est run of spawning humpies for!
years. Many of the fish are dying
before spawning; others unable
to get in the creeks are spawn-'
ing in salt water near the mouths ;
of the streams. Some of the
creeks ordinarily clear are milky
white in appearance.
Paul Kahklen and Miss Ger

Strict economies and even so
called retrenchments may at
times be necessary in any busi
ness, but pruning ten thousand
dollars or so off the payroll of
the Alaska railway to redeem a
million dollar dificit is about as
efficacious as the suggestion of
birth control to solve the un
employment problem.
