PROTEST MADE
IN RE FISHING
At a well attended and lengthy
meeting of the Cordova Chamber of
^Commerce held at the Northland Club
last night, the preservation of the sal
mon of this section resulted in the sub
ject being thrashed out and decisive
action taken against the continuance
of fishing at the mouth of the Copper
river. Attorney A. J. Dimond and
Superintendent Jos. Moser, represent
ing the Abercrombie Packing Com
pany, appeared before the chamber
and presented their side of the case.
Those who spoke against a continu
ance of fishing at the mouth of the
river included Falcon Joslin, Edward
F. Medley and Frank H. Foster.
"•Every phase of the situation was dis
cussed, after which the following res
olution introduced by Mr. Foster was
adopted:
Whereas the salmon canning indus
try is one of the chief sources of
revenue as well as the source of the
greatest export of food stuffs from
the Territory of Alaska, and,
^Whereas the Copper River and its
-tributaries are among the chief
spawning grounds for red or sockeye
salmon in Alaska, being capable of
producing thousands of cases of
choice red salmon each year, indef- j
initely, if protected by proper fish
ing regulations, and
Whereas the taking of salmon in
the Copper river between the mouth
of Miles lake and Mile 55 on the j
Copper River and Northwestern Rail- ■
road for the past five years, has so
depleted the salmon supply ot the
Copper River as to render inevitable
the complete extinction of this fish
in said stream within a very few
years if such practice is longer permit- j
ted, and,
Whereas the force of employes of
the fishery deparment of the United
States is inadequate to enforce the;
regulations of said department ap-!
plicable to fishing at the mouth of i
,#the said Copper River by reason of I
which thousands of fish are taken j
contrary to law; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the chamber
of commerce of the town of Cordo
va, Territory of Alaska, that the pres
ident, secretary of commerce, com
missioner of the bureau of fisheries,
fte delegate to congress from Alaska,
and the congress of the United States,
be, and they are here petitioned to
immediately take such steps as may
be necessary to provide suitable reg
ulations and laws forbidding all com
mercial fishing in the Copper river
above the mouth thereof and within
1500 feet of the mouth thereof, and
farther, that they provide an adequate
force of inspectors and other em
ployes for the proper enforcement of
this and other laws and regulations to
the end that the Copper river may not
be destroyed as a source of red sal
mon. y, --..

Press).—Addressing a general meet
ing of the Seiyukai party, Prime Min
ister Kei Hara, declared that he was
unjust to the opposition party to hold

resolution favoring an increase of in
come taxes, in order to meet the cost

navy.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 24 (by!
Associated Press).—Turkish police
men make no attempt to surprise
evil doers but give warning of their
approach by striking on the pave
ment at regular intervals with long
heavy sticks tipped with steel, to
the great disgust of sleepless for
eigners. It was formerly the custom
of the night watchmen .to shout
loudlv in Turkish that all was 'well
every time they pounded on the
lavement. But the allies forbade the
shouting, and since the armistice.
the night policemen, most of whom
are very old men, content themselves
with hammering the pavement. The
Turkish population objected strong
ly to having the hammering discon
tinued, as it is supposed to be the
only means of guaranteeing that the
policemen will patrol their beats.

The Chapman-Young bear hunting
party which has made the Windsor
Hotel its headquarters for weeks past,
left on this morning’s train en route
home via Fairbanks, Dawson 1 and
Skagway. The party consisted of
Mr. and Mrs. Young and their daught
er, Miss Mary Frances, Mr. and Mrs.
Chapman, Mrs. Chapman’s sister, Mrs.
Mayfield, and Mr. Hibbett. Mr.
Young, who lives in Texas, left
Seattle on the first of April and
cruised around Icy Bay and Cape
Suckling with very little success, as
the bears were not yet out from their
winter’s “holing-up.” Later, trips
were made to Montague and Hinchin
brook Islands and the Copner River
Valley. Eleven black bears were
killed during the entire outing. “I’m
going to have one of the hides made
into an auto robe, keep another for
my home, and give the others to
friends,” said Mr. Young. He will
leave the rest of the party to make
one final hunt up the Pelly and Mc
Millan rivers in Canada. During their
stay in Cordova the Chapman-Young
party made many friends by their
geniality and sportsmanship and will
find a warm welcome here if they
ever come back for more bears.

“Auntie” Keating has sold out her
Wee Shop to Archie Weatherby and
Company, who will take it over on
next Monday with a big sale of the
present stock. Mrs. Keating came to
Cordova in 1909, went outside for two
years, and has been here ever since
returning in 1914. She was born in
Scotland and although she has lived
in America since she was a girl of
sixteen, her heart is in the highlands,
and her plans are ultimately to re
turn to “bonnie land.”
She does not intend to leave Cor
dova immediately, however, but with
her friend, Mrs. J. D. McCormac, who
is now staying with her, she will go
outside possibly in September and
visit friends in San Francisco. Mrs.
McCormac herself will move on Mon
day to her “nice hoose on the hill”
being vacated today by Mr. and Mrs.
Goettel. “I love Cordova, and am
sorry to leave,” said Mrs. Keating.
And Cordova loves “Auntie” and is
sorry to see her leave.
CELMENCEAU IS
OUT OF POLITICS
WRITING NOVEL
PARIS, July 24 (by Associated
Press).—That Georges Clemenceau,
the former premier, has definitely
withdrawn from active politics and
worries little about criticisms levelled
at him by enemies of his regime and
of the Versailles treaty, was shown
when a correspondent of the Associ
ated Press called on him to obtain his
reply to taunts of his adversaries in
the chamber of deputies to the effect
that he did not know where Mosul
(Turkey) was located when he ceded
it to Great Britain.
“These professors of geography, who
are criticising me,” replied the former
premier, “would be greatly embar
rassed if some one should ask them
the location of a town of that size in
their own circumscriptions.”
M. Clemenceau was engaged in the
task of putting the finishing touches
on the first draft of a novel dealing
with Egyptian life. He said he was
through with politics forever. “My
task is finished; I have done my
work,” he told the correspondent.
The statesman, now entering his
80th year, looked hale and vigorous
and in better health than he has been
since the attempt upon his life by
Emile Cottin.

KOREA PAPERS
TOO RADICAL
; JAPS DECLARE
i
i TOKIO, July 24 (by Associated
Press).—As bearing on the freedom of
, the press in Korea promised by the
j Japanese government in that country,
! a Seoul dispatch to the Asahi says
; that the To-a-Nippo (The Far Eastern
Daily News) has been subject to sus
pension because of the publication of
“anti-nationalistic articles,” that is to
say, anti-Japanese. The Asahi says
the governor general thinks that the
general attitude of the newspaper
toward the administration is too “rep
rehensible” to be allowed to continue.
The journal adds that there is a ten
dency among the Korean newspapers
to give publicity to articles which the
authorities think fit to suppress.
The promise of the new government
was to permit freedom of the press so
long as it did not endanger law and
order.
