Lieutenant Richardson came to

time of the Klondike rush, and served
on the Yukon river where they went
to preserve order, to aid in providing
against starvation and perform the
various offices that frequently has de

frontiers where there was not or

Later he came to St. Michael when
an army post was first established
there. While there he was promoted
to be a captain. His first service as
Captain Richardson was to select sites
for army posts at Nome, Fort Gibbons
and Fort Egbert.
Aj» this time Skagway was a regi

but the government was using rented
buildings for quarters, barracks, hos
pital, commissary, etc. Captain Rich
ardson was sent to Skagway to select
a site for the principal army post in
Alaska, instructed to make the selec
tion on Lynn Canal, near Skagway
He selected the site of Fort William
H. Seward at Haines, and superin
tended the clearing of the land and
the construction of the entire post, in
cluding parade grounds, rifle range,
water and sewer systems and all the
■u.vii/iirvo-cj Whilp pritraerPfl in this
work he was promoted to the rank

that he had to take a brigade and
train it if he hoped to get to France,
he asked for and was assigned to the
command of a brigade at Camp Bu
reaugard. La. That was in March,
1918. In October, 1918, he took his
brigade to France, where the training
was resumed.

PROTECTION
OF FISHERIES
BASKED FOR
Senator J. R. Heckman of the First
division has introduced in the senate
a memorial asking the bureau of fish
eries to put practical regulation and
patrol over the Alaska fisheries. The
memorial reads as follows:
“1. That it is evident from the
lifelong observations and experiences
of well-disposed citizens and we your
memorialists believe that unless the
present general regulations, as pub
lished by the department of commerce
January 14, 1919, for the preservation
of salmon in Alaska waters, he strictly
enforced, and other laws and regula
tions added thereto, the supply of sal
mon in Alaska waters will become de
pleted.
“2. That the present regulation for
weekly closed season should be dis
continued, as it does not in any way
serve the purpose of allowing the fish
to reach the spawning ground.
“3. That there should be a closed
season of fifteen days for all varieties
of salmon at the latter end of the red
and pink salmon run, so as to allow
the late run of red and pink salmon
to reach their spawning ground un
molested, and that no red or pink sal
mon should be taken after the said
closed period of fifteen days.
“4. That the fishing of cohoes and
dog salmon should be resumed, after
the closed period of fifteen days, these
varieties running later, and in the
rainy season of the year are amply
protected by the above regulations
and under the present law, if properly
enforced. ' -■*'
“5. That the run of red and pink
salmon varies considerably in time in
the different sections of Alaska; there
fore it should be ascertained by the
bureau of fisheries when the closed
season for the different localities
should commence.
“6. That at least 25 fish wardens
should be appointed for a period of
: not more than ninety days in each
year, for the purpose of preventing
violation of laws and regulations rela
tive to the fishing of salmon.
“7. That unless actions are speedily
taken in thi$ matter the greatest in
dustry of the territory and the world’s
largest supply of this food will be so
depleted and destroyed as to be an
irreparable loss to our wealth and our
revenue, and we, your memorialists,
will ever pray.”
