mon and other fish. In this connec
tion the duties of the food adminis
trator for Alaska are among the most
important in the country. A number
of matters, such as stimulating the
rgHHHnwWf ' : “!rr T1™'
production, creating a demand for fish
other than salmon, nidlng In the pres
ervation of the fish of the territory,
securing the co-operation of dealers
other than those handling foodstuffs
have been handled by the Alaska food
administration. The co-operation and
willingness of Alaskans to comply
with the regulations of the food ad
ministration have been most gratify
ing.
Public Lands
During the year sixteen townships,
whole and fractional, of the Seward
meridian, and ten townships, whole
and fractional, of the Fairbanks me
ridian, were surveyed.
There have, been surveyed to date
the following township iurveys,
whole und fractional, viz : Seward
meridian, 71; Fairbanks meridian. 32;
Copper River meridian. 13.
Naval Patrol
On account of seemingly well-sub
stantiated rumors of I. W. W. and
pro-German threats against the in
dustries of Alaska, and particularly
against the fish canneries, the navy
department established a patrol in
Alaskan waters to last during the fish
ing and packing season The patrol
consisted of four small ships, each
carrying a naval intellig nee officer
and an officer of the department of
justice. Kvery cannery'was visited,!
all I W. \V and alleged pro-Germans i
}|"lffjj|!jj!il| If:®!: ' '* y-j-"; j T-! ,
were interviewed, and several arrests
of dangerous characters were made.
One German arrested had formulae
and material for making high explo
sives. Through the assistance of the
patrol a number of slackers have been
brought in. Th«» presence of the pa
trol has. without doubt, kept in otmck
proposed outbreaks of disloyalty and
destruction of property which would
have injured the !i dn ries at a time
when the United States is in need or
their products, and has lent confidence
and encouragement to operators in
isolated localities.
