EXPERIMENTS 1
Bys A. J. SPRAGUE
The following experiment, was
carried out in September 1917.
Two hundred thousand Red Sal
mon eggs and 80,000 Humpy
eggs were planted in the sand
and gravel* a depth of twelve to
fourteen inches in a tributary
spring stream leading from a
small pond on the south side of
Chilkoot Lake. It contained no
small fish whatever, being ob
structed a short distance above
its outlet into the lake. I found
in this body of water no famili
ar fungas spores so much in evi
dence in natural spawning
streams that contain thousands
cf spawning salmon, and it was
barren of fish life.. Upon clos
er examination it was found to
be a natural pond or stream,
with the water distributed from
heavy seepage. Fearing the lack
of proper food for the young fish
after hatching, owing to the
lateness of the season, when
Bugs, flies, gnats and various
- erustaceous food is not avail
able, I buried in the sand a short
distance .from the eggs, to pre
vent any fungas growth spread
ing to the buried eggs, the
BODIES OF THE PARENT FISH
FOR THEIR FUTURE SUPPLY.
(The bodies of the so^ckeye fish
stripped of their eggs).
:♦ A large percentage of these
:♦ eggs hatched, but if they had
[• been held to the eyed stage, or
[♦ say within 4 or 5 days of hatch
[♦ ing, the result would have been
[• at least ninety per cent, because
E* j later experiments proved this.
E* We must bear in mind that sal
E* mon eggs brought co mis stage
E* of development have not had
E* time to breed loss under artifi
* cial propogation but not among
the alevins or fry in natural
conditions. Also, it must be un
derstood, salmon eggs, buried
deep in the sand, are not at
tracted by fungas growth, but
when you consider the leng h
of time that the eggs must be
buried in the sand, 45 to 90
days under natural spawning, it
is reasonable to understand that
thousands are destroyed by fun
gas. But if the eggs are within
three or four days of hatching
they are quite safe from fungas
suffication, piling or bunch
> ing. I carried on these experi
ments largely at my own ex
pense for two years, and was
now broke. This Chilkoot ex
E periment was carried out with
the assistance of Mr. F. O. Burk
;! hardt, of the Alaska Pacific Fish
! eries, who paid for and furnish
E ecf his cannery tender, the
■ “Chilkoot,” with men, nets, na
tive guides, etc. I hal asked for
assistance from all the cannery
men of Alaska, on June 1, 1918,
but few responded.
To be Continued
? ? ? ?
Although recommended by the '
' egislative Committee of the Ju
neau chamber of commerce and
unanimously passed that body,
there is a lingering doubt as to i
the practicability of asking for j
a tariff to be placed on import- i
• d clams and crabs. The situa
tion is this: Perhaps not to ex
ceed a few dozen—few hundred
at the outside—people will be
benefited by a tariff on the pro
ducts involved while at least
120,000,000 million people, if
uliey eat clams and crabs, will
be forced to pay more money
for them. ’Tis mostly thus with
all tariff laws. The few are pro- j
tected at the expense of many.
-Stroller’s Weekly.
j ; ! .
That is just the position of
the Juneau Democrats, and their
cohorts in Ketchikan, Wrangell
and Petersburg. They feed the
electorate a lot of bunk and
when it comes to giving them
any benefit they renege on their
election promises—unless they
receive financial benefit.
It means nothing to Stroller
that a clam industry, a bigger
shrimp industry may be worked
up by a heavy tariff on import
ed product. But it means a lot
to other communities and the
people therein.
But as relates the big trans
portation companies such ilk
as the gem’man fom de souf, get
up on *the platforms and wave
the spar stangled spanner and
get the old eagle a-screeching
'for the companies in the name
of patriotism. Mostly it is only
for pay—triotism.

INDIANS IN NEED
Dr. W. H. Chase of Cordova
recently reported and appealed
to the people of Cordova to as
sist him in relieving the distress
of Indians in that section who
ie declared are in need of warm
c othing. Many of them having
been stricken with flu and
pneumonia.
Dr. Chase must be wrong. A
I short time ago the Governor was
I credited with the statement that
he found no want in the Terri
tory and the people a content
ed lot.
The way to bring prosperity
to all sections of the country is
to make more restrictions on
seining operations of resident
Alaskans, add more traps and
57 more varieties of bureaus
with their migratory parasites.
You can tell the size of a
man and the principle of his
character by his enemies.
