After today all salt water fisher
men and distributers of seafood not
already licensed will be required to
operate under licenses granted by the
United States food administration.
President Wilson, acting under author
ity granted by the food control act,
has issued a proclamation which gives
the food administration almost com
plete control of the distribution ot
salt water fish, including menhaden,
crustaceans and shellfish. Wholesale
fish dealers are already operating un
der license.
The proclamation covers all fisher
men engaged at any period of the
year, whether fishing independently
or on shares. It covers, as well, all
people engaged in the catching or dis
tribution of any forms of seafood who
^engage in business after February 15,
without securing a license, will be
liable to a fine of not more than $5,
000, to imprisonment for not more
than one year, or to both fine and
imprisonment.
All persons subject to license must
apply to tne United States Food Ad
ministration, License Division, Wash
ington, D. C., specifying the nature of
the business to be licensed.
The licensing of the fishermen and
the control thereby given will enable
the food administration to foster and
aid the salt water fisheries and great
ly increase the catches and the oppor
tunities of the fishermen to broaden
their operations. All this will be
brought about by regulations soon to
__
be enacted and embracing the At
lantic and Gulf coasts which will
largely supercede the local laws In
the various fishing districts; these
laws are at present discouraging the
fishermen, keeping them from using
the most productive kinds of gear and
curtailing the catches. Also in some
(Of the districts closed seasons on cer
tain varieties of salt water fish are
i>ow being enforced during the periods
when these varieties are in greatest
abundance in the shore waters and in
many of the districts restrictive laws
against non-residents and alien fish
i ermen are rendering it impossible for
j vessels and equipment from one state
j to make catches of fish in the shore
j waters of adjacent states.
Tn the enactment of the regulations
] due regard will be paid by the food
: administration to any present restric
| tions which are vitally necessary from
j *he standpoint of conservation. Regu
! lations will later be put into effect on
the Pacific coast as a result of the
recommendations of the federal food
administrators for the salt water
states. No modification will be made
, in regard to restrictions at present
; prevailing on the halibut or salmon
j fisheries; the present laws regarded
j as very necessary to conserve the
supplies of these varieties.
The licenses will be issued without
charge or fee of any kind under such
I rules and regulations governing the
conduct of the business as may be
prescribed by the United States food
administration.
All applications for license must be
on blanks to be provided, and must be
mailed to the following address:
United States Food Administration,
License Division,
Washington, D. C.
The federal food administrator for
Alaska has been advised that appli
cation blanks are being sent to his
office, Seward building, Juneau, where
they may be obtained upon request.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—A husky
negro, with six children trailing be
hind him, appeared at a district board
here.
"Ah claim ’xemption,’’ he said, "and
Ah got mah ’xemption with me.”
Delegate Charles A. Sulzer has intro
duced in congress bills which, if en
I acted into law, will prove of great
I benefit to the homesteaders and cause
much productive land to be brought
under cultivation at once.
| It is a well-known fact that owing
to restrictive regulations the man
i wanting to take up land has been prac
tically penalized for doing so, and'
i many persons have gone to Northern
| Canada and other places and settled
on land where the land was no more
I productive than that in Alaska and
where the market conditions were no
so good. The agricultural resources
of Alaska are beginning to attract at
tention, as well as grazing possibil
ities, and the purpose of the delegate
is to encourage settlement in every
possible manner. He has so far intro
duced bills for “extending the farm
loan act to Alaska,” in order that those
taking up land may secure necessary
funds for carrying on their work; a
bill amending the present homestead
law so that the homesteaders may
take up land in unsurveyed portions of
| Alaska; a bill abolishing the 80-rod
strip between homesteads, and a bill
authorizing the leasing and grazing of
lands in Alaska.
The bill to amend the “homestead
law is its application to Alaska and
for other purposes,” introduced Jan.
10th, is as follows:
That the act of congress entitled
"An act to amend the United States
homestead law in its application to
Alaska, and for other purposes,” ap
proved July 8, 1916, is hereby amended
to read as follows:
“Section 1. That every person who
is qualified under existing laws to
make homestead entry of the public
lands of the United States who has
settled upon or who shall hereafter
settle upon any of the public lands of
the United States situated in the dis
trict of Alaska, whether surveyed or
unsurveyed, with the intention of
claiming the same under the home
stead laws, shall be subject to the
provisions and limitations of the act
approved March 3, 1903, chapter 1002,
United States at large, page 1028, be
entitled to enter 160 acres or a less
finaiitity of unappropriated public land
in said district of Alaska, and no more,
and a former homestead entry in any
other state or territory shall not be a
bar to a homestead entry of Alaska; “
privlded. that nothing herein contained
shall lie construed to limit or cur
tail the area of any homestead claim
heretofore lawfully initiated
"Section 2. That if the system of
public surveys has not been extended
over (he land included in a homestead
entry, the entryman may, after due
compliance with the terms of the
homestead law in the matter of resi
dence. cultivation, and improvement,
submit to the register and receiver a
showing as to such compliance, duly
corroborated by two witnesses, and if -
such evidence satisfactorily shows ~
that the homesteader is in a position :*
to submit acceptable rinal proof the !£
surveyor general of the territory will S
be so advised and will, not later than |
the next succeeding surveying season,
issue proper instructions for the sur- !:•:
vev of the land so entered, without :§
expense to the entryman, who may £;
thereafter submit final proof ns in $
similar entries of surveyed lands. So §
far as practicable, such surveys shall
follow the general system of public |
land surveys, and the entryman shall 5;
conform his boundaries thereto; pro- §
vided, that nothing herein shall pre- *
vent the homesteader from securing £
earlier action on his entry by a spec
i ll survey at his own expense, if he §
so elects.
"Section 2. That there shall b<' ex !|i
cepted from homestead settlement and S
entry under this act the lands in An
nette and Probilof Islands, the islands "
leased or occupied for the propaga-i
tion of foxes, and such other lands as;
have been, or may be, reserved or
withdrawn from settlemem or entry.”
