The insufficiency of the present fish
laws under which Alaska is governed
was revealed in the trial of the United
States vs. P. E. Jenkins and G. P.
Jenkins in the district court at Ketchi
kan on the charge of having driven a
* fish trap within six hundred yards lat
erally of another fish trap or fixed
fishing appliance, attorneys say.
The statute under which the defend
ants were indicted reads as follows:
“It shall be * * * unlawful to
drive or construct any trap or any
other fixed fishing appliance within
six hundred yards laterally or within
one hundred yards endwise of any
other fixed fishing appliance.”
The defendants were charged with
having constructed a driven fish trap
within the prohibited distance of the
floating fish trap of another party.
The evidence showed that the defend
ants were the first on the ground to
actually start construction of their
trap.
At the conclusion of the testimony
counsel for the defendants moved for
an instructed verdict on the ground
that the floating trap within 600 yards
of which defendants drove their trap
was not such a fixed fishing appliance
as was contemplated by the statute,
and also on the ground that the de
fendants were shown to have been
|*ie first to start construction of their
trap and that they should be held to
have a rerasonable time within which
to complete their structure. On the
second ground the court ruled that
it was immaterial under the statute,
but on the first ground ruled that it
was simply a question for the jury
whether or not a floating fish trap was
such as was covered and contemplated
by the statute above set forth.
A. H. Ziegler, attorney for defend
ants, took the position that inasmuch
* as the above law was passed in 1906,
before floating traps were in opera
tion in Alaska, congress did not in
tend to classify floating traps with
fixed driven traps, and that therefore
the defendants were not guilty.
The jury, after being instructed by
the court that it was for them to de
cide whether or not a floating fish
trap was a fixed fishing appliance
h within the meaning of the law, prac
tically held that it was not, and found
a verdict of not guilty.
This is the first case in Alaska
where a floating fish trap has been
given a definite status by our courts.

TO ALL CONCERNED
Section 10 of Ordinance No. 4 reads
as follows: “No person Shall place
any boxes, wood, lumber or other
thing or material in any alley of the
town of Cordova, whereby the fire de
partment or other persons may be pre
vented or impeded in their efforts to
extinguish fires.”
* Anyone violating this ordinance is
guilty of a misdemeanor, and subject,
upon conviction, to a fine not to ex
ceed $50, or by imprisonment not more
than twenty-five days, or both.
It has been called to the council’s
attention that it is almost impossible
to get the fire apparatus through some
of the alleys, and the common council
of the town of Cordova has ordered
this notice to be published so that the
matter may be remedied.

When God gave man a Mother.
