Prosperity
The prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the
^operation manifested by the many individuals and institu
••oils forming the community. 1 here can be no lasting prosperi
• j or genuine progress in the lire of any community without
honest cooperation between all elements that in any way affect
the common welfare.
So it is with Alaska. No one section of this great land can
trosper for long at the expense of any other section; all construc
ve efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
sult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperity
It Is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such service as will best serve the citizens of the entire
Territory.

KOI 10 GO IK EFFECT IN
IKE STATE OF WASHINGTON
Order number 18, promulgated
by the Washington State Fisheries
Board, is not of effect because of
lack of official publication. This
order, which would eliminate the
purse' seiners of the State of Wash
ington entirely , was protested by
the fishermen of that State in a
meeting held in Everett during the
past month. . >
The cannerymen favored the
passage of this restriction and de
clared it necessary for the preser
vation of the salmon industry.
EFFECT OF RESTRICTION
There are approximately 300 seine
boats operating on Puget Sound.
These boats cost from $10,000 to
$20,000 each and employ on an
average of eight men on each ves
sel. About 2400 men and their
■families would be deprived of em
ployment, it is declared.
It is estimated that these boats
spend annually for repairs, equip
ment, supplies and provisions over
$1,000,000. Loss of this business
would have its effect on the trade
done in every Puget Sound port by
its dealers of supplies, oil, gaso
line, engines and equipment and
boat* builders and boat repairs.
Dependent upon the catches
of the purse seine fleet are 12 can
neries on Puget Sound. Each of
these plants during the fishing sea
son employ from 100 to 250 men
and women, who would be thrown
out of employment if the supply
of raw fish is removed.
Opposed to these 12 canneries
are 7 trap owners who asserted in
the petition to the Fisheries Board
that they owned or controlled 85
percent of the traps. Official fig
ures from 1915 to 1925 show that
JO percent of the fish caught were
taken from traps, 27 percent by
purse seiners and 3 percent by gill
net and. other gear.
If the motive back of the Order
adopted by the majority of the
board was one of conservation!
there can be no objection. But it
would seem pertinent to ask why
steps should not be taken to curtail
trap fishing that takes 70 percent
of the fish from the water, or at
least curtail the activities of each
group in equal proportion.”—Rail
way and Marine News.
Washington Has Fisheries Fight
Seine Restrictions Held Up
By Governor Hartley
The resignation of three members
of the Washington State Fisheries |
Board was accepted during the j
past week and also suspended or 1
der number 18 passed by this board
two months ago. This order plac
ed very drastic restrictions on
seine operations and was signed by
two members of the Board with the
third member opposing- the meas
ure.
In a statement to the press Gov
ernor Hartley said: “The State
fisheries was created for the pur
pose of working out perpetuation of
the salmon industry in the State of
Washington. Controversy^ has arisen
in the board over a very important
phase of its work.
“From the very nature of the
fishing industry it is absolutely es
sential that members of the board
should work in harmony. For this
reason the members of the board
asked that they be relieved of duty
and I am therefore complying with
their resignations as of the date of j
June 15 and shall proceed to ap-j
point a new board.
“Order number 18 is the subject
of a widespread dispute among
Alaska Government
To Be Co-Odinated
The Secretary of the Interior will
send representatives to Alaska with
in a few days to coordinate the
various activities of his Depart
ment in the Territory, under auth
ority given in the Act approved
February 10, 1927. The repre
sentatives will visit Seattle, Ju
neau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Metla
katla, and other points, and will
survey the work of the Alaska Rail
road, the health, education, and re
mainder activities of the Bureau of
Education, as well as inquire into
the affairs of the Metlakatlans.
Secretary Work advocates a
policy on the part of the depart
ment of doing everything for Alas
ka that can be done there and one
of the purposes of the present in
vestigation is to abolish, as much
as possible, long distance adminis
those engaged in the fishing indus
try. I shall recommend to the New
Board that the order be suspended
to allow fishing operations to be
carried on as usual this year and
that they then make a thorough
investigation of all matters per
taining to the industry so that any
new rulings or orders which, pro
mhlgated net year, will come in
advance of the time when invest
ments are made in fishing gear
equipment and supplies for the
1928 season.
“In selecting the new board it
will be my purpose to pick men
not involved in any controversy
with relation to the fishing indus
try and who have no direct inter
est in the industry but have a gen
eral knowledge of fish and fisheries
in order that they may give impar
tial consideration to the question
of salmon protection without regard
to the effect on any particular class
or type of fishing gear but act sole
ly in the interest of the industry
as a whole, for the benefit of the
industry as a whole, for the en
tire State.”

PHENOMENA REPORTED AT
CAPITAL CITY SULPHUR DUST
Interest has been aroused by a
thin coating of fine yellow sulphur
dust which was discovered on the
^buildings of O. E. Schombel, fox
farmer near Juneau.— “No word
has been received of a volcanic
eruption, which would explain the
appearence of the dust.”—Empire.
Just common pollen from spruce
trees blown around by the winds.
The same “phenomena” has been
observed in Petersburg and if one
is observant, will see it rising on
the hills above the timber.
