To the citizens of Cordova:
On the fifth of October, a hearing
will be had before the members of the
bureau of fisheries at Cordova, Alas
ka to investigate the reported deple
tion of the salmon run in the Copper
river.
This is a matter which is of vital
interest to every person residing in
this section. Especially is it of inter
est to the fishermen who depend on
their summer’s catch for a living. A
year or twro more like the last one will
mean the finish of the fishing bus
iness and the consequent loss of in
vestment in boats and gear.
I have agreed to present the case of
the people before the committee. I
am doing this without compensation
from anybody for the reason that I live
here and I am bringing up my family
to be Alaskans. This is not a bid for
commendation but a statement made
to explain the reason for my activity
in this matter.
In order to properly present this
matter I request every man who has
personal knowledge of facts tending to
prove any of the following things, to
call at my office.
First: That the spawning grounds
at the head of the Copper river and
its tributaries have been depleted.
Second: That the fish caught at
Miles lake or at Abercrombie canyon
are unfit for canning.
Third: That the fish laws and regu
lations on the Copper river delta are
being violated.
This is your cause, all I can do is
to present, in an orderly manner, the
evidence you bring me. If Alaska,
and this part of Alaska in particular,
is going to be saved from the fate of!
the Fraser river and the Puget sound
district, where the red salmon is al-!
most extinct, you will have to do your j
Part. FRANK H. FOSTER, j
