FAVORSUSEOF ;
FISH TRAPS
IN ALASKA;
A. J. Sprague, territorial superin
tendent of fish hatcheries in Alaska,
who came down from Juneau to at
tend the hearings with regard to the
protection and preservation of the
salmon industry in the North, has
very pronounced views on the sub
ject, which he admits may not be in
harmony with the general conserva
tion idea, which seems to favor the
abolition of the fish traps. Mr.
Sprague says:
“My opinion is that if there is ever
to be any true fish conservation in
Alaska the fishing with seines and
nets must be absolutely prohibited.
“Traps deliver the fish to the can
neries in far better shape for food
purposes, and, having fixed feear, there
is no danger of them being moved up
stream to destroy the fish at their
spawning grounds.
“I realize that a lawr of this kind
might work a hardship on some fish
ermen, but all things else being equal,
a man who is able to buy a boat and
seines should be able to erect a trap.”
Mr. Sprague also said: “A law of
this kind would simplify the fishing
question, for if the law was passed
anyone caught with a seine or net
would be known to be illegally fishing.
At the present time it is impossible
to establish a patrol system that would
protect the streams, as there are be
tween twenty and twenty-five thou
sand salmon streams along the Alaska
coast line. As long as seine fishing
is allowed there will be fishing in
those various streams.
“Fish caught in the streams are un
fit for food, and every fish caught in
a trap is edible.”—Alaska Dispatch,
Seattle.

and the use of the
following rules will
wreck any church:
1. Never try to bring anyone to
church. John 1:41.
2. Don’t give to missions, benevo
lences, and see that the pastor’s sal
ary is always behind. 1 Cor. 9:14.
3. Try to run the church. Mark
10:44, 45.
4. If you see anyone willing to
help in the church work, be sure to
find fault and accuse them of being
bold and forward. Ecc. 19:10.
5. Don’t keep the Sabbath holy;
keep it for all your odd jobs, your
business and your amusements. Ex.
20:8-11.
6. Don’t speak to another about
Christ; your pastor should do all that
•kind of work. Jas. 5:20. Don't speak
to a stranger, after services.
7. Insist on your views being
adopted on all questions brought up
before the church, and don’t give in
for the majority. Matt 13:12.
8. Don’t join any church society.
Mai. 3:16.
9. When sick, don’t tell your pas
tor; he is supposed to find out him
self. But tell your neighbors how he
neglected you during your illness.
John 11:3.
Don’t be a wrecker; be a builder.
Don’t be a hinderer; be a
helper and attend the
