The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
'lied a request with the department
)f Commerce for the establishment
>f a hatchery on a suitable place on
3yak river with a view to replenish
ng the waters of this section with j
nore salmon through artificial pro-,
•agatlon, and in reply has received!
he following interesting communi
;ation from the Acting Secretary,!
rhurman:
“'The department has been aware of
he impending danger to the salmon
upply of certain waters in the Cor
lova region, notably this Copper riv
ir, because of heavy fishing which
las been developed within the last
ear or two. The situation is such
is to cause grave concern, for it is
elt that unless steps are taken soon
o relieve the heavy drain upon these
vaters the future of the fishery will
>e very seriously impaired. Two
neans of remedying this situation ap
>ear to be open, namely, ' (a), the
placing of restrictive measures upon
fishery operations, and (b), the con
struction of hatcheries.
"Consideration is now being given
by the Commissioner of Fisheries to
both of these measures In respect to
the Cordova district. Nothing definite
can be stated at this time in regard to
the course to be pursued as plans are
still of a tentative character. It may
be said,- however, In a general way
that action will probably be taken in
the near future looking to a curtail
ment of commercial operations upon
the Copper river, as recent investiga
tions appear to demonstrate that the
stream was overfished In the season
of 1917 and that unless something is
done before another year, still fur
ther inroads will be made through the
construction of additional canneries or
an Increase of effort by existing can
neries on the river.
“In respect to the establishment of
a hatchery, it seems appropriate to
say that no funds are at present
available for this purpose, it being
necessary to obtain specific authority
therefore from Congress. A special in
quiry in regard to the value and the
results of artificial propagation in Al
aska will be made another season.
The Cordova Chapter of Commerce
taken soon looking to limitations on
fishing in the Cordova region will
proove more effective so far as im
mediate results are concerned than
the construction of a fish hatchery.
“I appreciate the interest manifes
ted by the Cordova Chamber of Com
merce in regard to the conservation
of the fisheries of Alaska and hasten
to give my assurances that every ef
fort will be made to develop the sit
uation satisfactorily.”
