BERING IRADER
TAKES PASSAGE
ACROSS CANADA
i
VANCOUVER, B. C.—Captain'
Joe Bernard, a daring trader of
Nome, Alaska, is spending about five
years working his way eastward in
his boat, the Teddy Bear, from the
Bering Sea through the northeast
passage to the Atlantic ocean.
Reports came from Alaska some
time ago that Bernard was endeav
oring to navigate the northeast
passage, but no details were given.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Canadian
Arctic explorer, on his return here
recently from the North confirmed
the reports and said he thought Ber
nard would reach the Atlantic safely
as he was a good navigator and was
traveling in fairly well known waters.
Bernard has been out of touch
with civilization for about two years
and, according to Stefansson. prob
ably will not appear in the Atlantic,
until 1921. The trader left Alaska’s
far northeastern outposts in 1916,
and planned to make the trip in
five years.
If Bernard succeeds, he will be
one of the very few people who
have ever negotiated the northeast
passage. The latest to come through
the icy channel was Roald Amund
sen, who negotiated the passage in I
1906. Stefansson planned to make
the trip but the failure of a boat
to meet him after he had completed
the worst part of the trip on foot
caused him to change his plans.
Bernard worked along the nor
thern Canadian coast with some of
Stefansson’s party in 1916, the ex
plorer said. He soon left the ex-:
plorers, however, and pressed on
into the barren white waters to the
east. The next heard from him
raav be when he turns up at some 1
i
far northern Atlantic port.
FIRS! AUTO HERE
FROM UPPER TOWN
Fred Robinson’s auto, with Dr. J.
I A. Sutherland and S. VV. Y'arger ar
1 rived in Nenana at six o’clock yes
terday evening.
The automobile left Fairbanks at
8 o’clock yesterday morning, but on |
| account of poor trail conditions was j
| not able to make good time. The!
j trail from Fairbanks to Ester City |
; was fine, of course, but from Ester
to Dunbars the autoists describe it
as pretty rocky and the nature of it
such as to discourage any attempts
at anything like speed. From Dun
bar’s to Nenana the trail is said to
be good.
Dr. Sutherland made the trip
specially to consult with the Nenana
Board of Health and Mr. Browne,
engineer in charge, regarding quar
antine.

CLUB OF JUNEAU
SEEKS REFORMS
JUNEAU—"In California, Oregon
and Washington and Southern Brit
ish Columbia waters, salmon fish
ermen look up from their nets and
ask: ‘Where do we go from here,
boys?’ The cannervmen reply, ‘To
Alaska, the last chance.’ ”
In these words, the Alaska Fish
and Game club, of Juneau, in a re
port covering fish depletion made
to Thomas Riggs, Jr., governor of
Alaska, sums up what it calls "a
miserable contest between nature
and man.’’ The report was made
public by E. J. White, chief of the
official Alaska Publicity Bureau.
“Strenuous efforts must be put
forth for the maintenance of the
salmon, attacked as they are by the j
fisheries during the most vital period I
of their existence, the spawning j
season,” the report continues.
“When the fish are taken in the
spawning season, not only is the fish i
lost forever ,but billions of eggs
which might reproduce the kind are
gone. When it is considered that an
adult female salmon contains at least
3,000 roe, that it took 30,000,000
female and an equal number of male
fish to supply the pack for 1917 j
and a like number for that of 1918,1
assuming that the run is equally
divided between the sexes, what a
tremendous loss it means for reduc
tion and maintenance.
“It is truly wonderful that the
specie has survived the handicap
Nature is struggling desperately
against man, but he is going to beat
her in Alaska, as well as elsewhere,
and the race is approaching the
finish.”
In a statement accompanying the
report ,Mr. White asserts salmon
are becoming scarcer each year in
localities where canneries have been j
operated for any considerable period ]
of years.
“When the matter of depleting
the Alaska waters of fish is men
tioned, the statement is invariably
made that Alaska’s output of canned
and fresh fish is increasing with
each succeeding year.” Mr. White
says. “While the statement is par
tially correct, the increased output
is due solely to the fact that many
new canneries and saltcries are be- j
ing installed every year and the
waters are being fished more thor- j
oughly than ever before.”
