I
Mayor A. J. Adams returned on the
steamship Northwestern from Juneau,
where he spent the past ten days at
tending the first annual meeting of
the Alaska Fish Commission, of which
he is a member. He is accompanied
by A. J. Sprague, who is hatchery
Superintendent and also a member of
the commission. They left today for
Seward and upon their return to Cor
dova will devote some time here to
looking into a continuation of salmon
propogation. With the creation of the
Fish Commission, the Territorial Leg
islature provided $80,000 for a two
year period. A statement to the Com
mission shows that there is an unex
pended balance to its credit of $49,
068,85 fixing the money used during
1919-1920 at approximately $31,000.
GENERAL WORK COVERED
From the unexpended balance left
on hand, the Commission made its
allotments for the fiscal year ending
March 31st 1921 including the salary
of the hatchery superintendent, sun
dry hatchery operations, field work
of the Commission and the propaga
tion of fish experimental weirs in
Eyak Lake and stream clearing in
the First and Third divisions to
taling about $41,000, leaving a balance
of approximately $8,000 for future
disposition by the Commission
There will be spent for stream
clearing in the Thirl division ap
proximately $12,000, of which $2,0 <0
will be spent in Bristol Bay. The
Eyak Lake weirs will cost in the
neighborhood $3,000. In aidM'on
to some stream clearing to be done
under the direction of Commissioner
John R. Beegle, for which $5,001 was
alloted. Hatchery Superintendent A
J. Sprague will supervise stream
^clearing in the northern end of the
First division, for wrhich purpose
$2,000 was allowed. Funds also were
alloted for wrork to be done by Sup
erintendent Sprague’s field crewp
EYAK LAKE WEIRS
A weir to be constructed at the
outlet of Eyak Lake will be so ar
ranged as to enable the Commission
to get a census of all salmon entering
•it and also for the purpose of de
stroying predatory fish following the
salmon. This work is to be done as
early as possible while later in the
year another weir will be constructed
on some of the tributary streams of
the lake, at the time the trout ascend
the small streams for spawning. Weir
construction, however, is contingent
upon granting of permission by the
Bureau of Fisheries for such purpose
request for which has been made by
telegraph.
ENLARGE HATCHERY
So successful have been the opera
tions of the hatchery in Juneau
that the Commission, seeing the ne
cessity for enlargement, approved the
installation of 12 additional troughs,
it being found that the present install
ation is too small to take care of the
fry when hatched. When the new
troughs have been added the capa
city of the hatchery will be increas
ed to 10,000,000 eggs. During the past
the hatchery has distributed about
7.500-000 eyed eggs and fry. It is also
proposed to install a few troughs of
bringing eggs to the eyed stage be
fore planting in the waters of the lake
In connection with the annual meet
ing, Governor Thomas Riggs. Jr.,
Chairman of the Commission, states
there has been some misunderstand
ing regarding the scope of the duties
of the Commission. Many persons
apparently were under the impression
that the meeting was to be held on
the proposed fisheries bill. Such
action was not contemplated in any
wav, although the Commission, it was
stated, will be glad to have written
communications for its consideration
on any relevant subject which indiv
iduals desire to bring before it.
WOKK IS 8A I lorAC I UKY
Members of the Commission re
ported regarding the work accom
plished in stream clearing, and most
satisfactory results were shown; ap
proximately 15 streams have been
cleared of their major obstructions
so as to permit free ascent of sal
mon. A detailed report on all Fish
Commission operations will be pre
pared shortly by Charles D. Garfield,
Secretary of the Commission. The
Commission, declared its members,
is well satisfied with the results
shown for the amount of money ex
pended during the last year.
The members of the Commision at
tending the annual meeting were:
Governor Thomas Riggs. Jr., Chair
man; Charles D- Garfield, Secretary,
John R. Beegle, of Ketchikan and A.
J. Adams, Mayor of Cordova. Hugh
Dougherty, of Seward was the only
member not attending.
