In order that the attention of can
nery superintendents, fishermen and
all parties Interested in fishing mat
ters, may be called to the substance
of the laws particularly applicable to
the salmon fisheries near and adja
cent to Cordova, as well as to some
of the general provisions of the law
applicable to all parts of Alaska, the
following synopsis of such laws is
herewith given to the public:
The following streams and waters
are closed to all commercial fishing
from 6 o'clock post meridian of Sat
urday of each week until 6 o’clock ante
meridian of the following Monday:
(1) The waters of the Copper river
above the delta; (2) all streams tribu
tary to the Copper river which empty
into it above the delta; (3) Miles lake;
(4) Bering river, its delta and tribu
tary streams; (5) Eyak river; (6)
Mountain Slough; (7) Prince William
Sound and all waters and streams con
tiguous, adjacent and tributary
thereto.
Fishing in Eyak river and Mountain
slough is not permitted at any time
where fixed, anchored or staked fish
ing gear is employed.
Eyak lake is closed to all fishing for
salmon, and to all other fishing in the
prosecution of which salmon are taken
or injured.
It is unlawful to lay or set any fish
ing appliance which extends for a dis
tance greater than one-third the width
of any creek, stream, river, estuary or
lagoon.
No fixed fishing gear shall be laid i
or set within five hundred yards of
the mouth of any red salmon stream
in any of the waters of Alaska, at any
point where the distance from shore
to shore is less than five hundred feet
in width.
No movable fishing gear shall be
laid or set within one hundred yards
outside the mouth of any red salmon
stream in any of the waters of Alaska,
at any point where the distance from
shore to shore is les sthan five hun
dred feet in width.
No movable fishing gear, such as a
purse seine, drift net, drag seine, etc.,
shall be laid or set within one hun
dred yards of any other fishing appli
ance which is being or which has been
laid or set in any of the waters of
Alaska.
No fixed or stationary apparatus,
such as a pound net, trap, fish wheel,
stake net (such as those used on the
delta of the Copper river last season,
and known as a “fence"), etc., shall
be constructed or driven within six
hundred yards literally, or within one
hundred yards endwise, of any other
trap or fixed fishing appliance.
In the regions subject to the thirty
six hour closed season (such, for in
stance, as Prince William Sound or
the Bering river) all stationary and
floating traps must be kept closed to
fishing. The gate, mouth or tunnel
must be kept closed during the weekly
closed season, and twenty-five feet of
the webbing or net of the “heart” of
every such trap on each side next to
the “pot” must be lifted or lowered
in Buch manner as to permit the free
passage of salmon and other fishes.
It is unlawful to can or salt for sale
for food any salmon more than forty
eight hours after it has been killed.
It is unlawful for any person, com
pany or corporation wantonly to waste
or destroy salmon or other food fishes
taken or caught in any of the waters
of Alaska.
It is hoped that the foregoing brief
statement of the law will be of value
to interested parties. It may not be
out of place to state at this time that
the fishing laws will be vigorously en
forced.

LONDON, April 16. — The thirty
thousand English women who have
volunteered for active service at the
fighting front with the men troops
are asking some embarrassing ques
tions of the adjutant general's depart
rnent. ~~~ '
Style and comfort figure in the list.
They don’t know whether khaki is
becoming enough. Some of them want
soldier’s caps instead of hats. They
wonder whether the women soldiers
must salute the men officers. And
they want to know whether they may
smoke and whether the regular tobac
co ration will be given them, like the
men.
How late they may stay out of bar
racks at night, whether they must
bob their hair, clean their own boots
and do or not do a dozen other things
are questions to which the women
want answers.
