MAILWlfiS
FIND EFFECTS OF
E. P. Allard and Evan Rogers,
engaged in carrying the mails be
tween Fairbanks and Tanana, re
port finding a hat and sundry other
articles belonging to the late Knute
Hellenius, on the Fairbanks-Tanana
trail recently.
In the hat there were a number
of letters addressed to Mrs. Vac-hon
of Tolovana, and the sum of $120
in cash wrapped up in some paper.
The money was sent by Allard to
Henry Robeson, the administrator
of the dead man’s estate. They
also found a handkerchief and sev
eral strips of rags.
Knute Hellenius was enroute
from Fort Gibbon to Xenana for
medical treatment for an abscess,
and it is believed that the abscess
broke on the way and that he tried
to stop the flow of blood with the
rags and handkerchief found.
His decomposed body was found
on the trail between Minto and
the Dunbar roadhouse by a search
ing party sent out from Fairbanks
shortly after the breakup last year.
He was buried where found, until
after the freezeup, when the body
was exhumed, taken to Tanana and
buried in the cemetery there.
ENTERTAINMENT EOR
The arrangements being made
by the Red Cross ladies of Xenana
for an entertainment and dance to
be given for the returned soldiers
have now been completed, and a

erybody.
The entertainment, which will be
followed by a dance, will take place
at the Xenana Labor Union hall
on Saturday, May 10th.
A vocal and instrumental pro
gram will be rendered and light
refreshments in abundance will be
served.
The time at which the enter
tainment will open has not been

at a later date.

RIVER
The department of commerce has
made a special ruling in reference
to fishing on the Yukon river,
which includes the cannery owned
by the Carlisle Packing company
of Cordova, and over the opera
tion of which there has been con
siderable discussion, pro and con,
by the residents of Interior Alaska.
The order is as follows:
“That until further notice all
i fishing for salmon or other fishing
I in the prosecution of which salmon
iare taken or injured, in the Yukon
river and all tributary waters, and
; in all waters of its delta to and
j including the area 500 yards out
! side each mouth or slough of the
delta at mean high tide, be and is
hereby made subject to the follow
ing limitations and prohibitions, in
addition to the general restrictions
already applicable by virtue of ex
iting laws and regulations:
“1. That in 1919, and in each
year thereafter unless otherwise or
dered in the manner prescribed by
law, not to exceed 30,000 cases
(48 one-pound cans per case, or the
equivalent thereof) of canned salmon,
1.0UO barrels (22 pounds net weight
each i of pickled or hard-salted sal
mon, and 200 tierces (800 pounds
net weight each) of mild-cured sal
mon of all species, shall be pre
pared for commercial purposes or
export: these quantities to be ap
portioned, after a conference with
the local representative of the bu
reau of fisheries, as equitably as
practicable among the persons or
companies with established plants.
Promptly at the end of each cal
endar week each individual or com
pany shall submit a statement to
the representative of the bureau of
fisheries, showing the number of
cases, barrels ‘and tierces of salmon
thus prepared to date, and shall
submit also a record of the num
ber of salmon of each species taken
daily.
“2. That no salmon to be pre
pared by canning, pickling or mild
curing for shipment from Alaska
shall be caught above the junction

other net used in the Yukon river
and its delta shall exceed 700 feet
in length.
“6 That all commercial fishing,
except for local requirements, is
prohibited after August 31 of each
year.
“This order becomes effective
January 1, 1919.
Data to Accompany Yukon Order.
"The foregoing special regulations
do not supersede or in any way
; lessen the effect of the general fish
eries laws. Among other matters
in this connection it seems appro
priate to direct attention more par
jtieularly to the following:
“1. The lay or setting of nets
of any kind in any stream, slough,
river, lagoon or other body of wa
ter for a distance greater than
one-third the width thereof is un
• lawful.
I “3.. The law requires an end
j\vise distance of not less than 100,
yards (300 feet) and a lateral
distance of not less than 600 yards
(1,800 feet) between all fixed fish
ing apparatus. This applies to
traps, pound nets, stake nets, fish
I wheels and all other fixed fishing
[gear. These distance intervals will
! be enforced.
“4. It is unlawful to fish for,
catch or kill salmon in Alaska in
any manner except by rod, spear or
gaff in any stream, slough or other
water less than 100 yards (300;
feet) in width between the hours}
of 6 o’clock in the evening and 6
o’clock in the morning of the fol
lowing day of each and every day
of the week.
