Insuring the Perpetuation
of the Industry
W
WO lines of action are essential to the perpetuation of the salmon fishing
industry of Alaska—legislation designed to temporarily decrease the pack
and constructive effort toward increasing the supply.
For many years the more responsible and representative element in the Salmon
Canning Industry has been working ceaselessly to procure legislation which would
insure sufficient escapement to the spawning beds to adequately stock them and at
the same time work the least possible harm to themselves and the fishermen of
Alaska.
In addition to lending their influence to the passage of such protective legislation,
the packers have expended and are still expending large sums of money annually
in fighting the natural enemies which beset the salmon at every side. Experts have
repeatedly stated that the Dolly Varden trout and the tern each year, destroy
more salmon than are packed in all Alaska’s canneries.
A group of canners, which spent $25,000 during 1922 in the extermination of these
enemies to the industry, found that the stomach of the average three pound dolly
contained 150 salmon fry, and later, during the migration period, twenty yearling
salmon. These twenty yearling salmon at maturity would have been worth approxi
mately $16.00 on the market when canned.
Some of Alaska’s salmon packers have for years been carrying on a crusade against
these deadly enemies and many more are becoming interested along these lines.
In addition, they have been active in clearing the streams of obstructions, have
worked in conjunction with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries in charting and cleaning,
out the spawning beds, and have furnished boats to the Bureau for the patrolling of
the ground and protection of the spawning salmon.
Between the practical packer with an investment to protect and the intelligent
Alaskan with a great natural resource which he desires to see perpetuated, and at
the same time producing wealth for the community, there can be no point of
difference.
All that is required to bring about closer co-operation
is closer acquaintance--more complete understanding.

British to Enact New Law
to Curb Reckless Driving
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 24.—The increasing
number of accidents, fatal and other
jwise to pedestrians as a result of
\ careless motor driving has caused the
authorities seriously to consider fram
ing new laws for the protection of
the general public.
The bill has not yet been drafted,
but the motoring authorities antici
pate that it will contain recommenda
tions set down in the departmental
committees report of 1922 which in
cluded abolition of the speed limit of
20 miles an hour but. initiating rigid
enforcement of regulations against
dangerous driving, abolition of fixed
j reduced speed limits in populous
areas and heavier and sharper max
imum penalties including prison for
second offences.
Further regulations are expected to
include a declaration in regard to
physical fitness from each applicant

Energy Brings Results
Despite Prison Bars
(By Associated Press)
HARBIN, Manchuria, Jan. 24.—For
the last two years M. Krasnoshekoff,
once premier of the Far Eastern Re
public, has been in jail; he was found
guilty of embezzlement.
But prison life has not succeeded
in curbing the former statesman’s
energy. He has written four books
on banking, for which he received $4,
000; he has organized among his pri
son mates a lucrative business and
making woodcuts and engraving on
copper, and altogether he is doing
so well that he has declined a re
lease from confinement and the of
fer of a position with a local bank.

MENACE TO FORESTS
SEEN IN HEAVY CROP
OF CHRISTMAS TREES
(By Associated Press)
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 24.—With '
commercial cutters taking an estim
ated toll of 1,000,000 Christmas trees 1
annually from privately owned logged
off lands in the state of Washington,
their activities are becoming an im- 1
portant factor in the already serious
problem of reforestation, according to
Fred E. Pape, state supervisor of for
estry. The Christmas tree cut, he de
clared, now equals the number of ma
ture trees ordinaryily felled each sea
son in lumbering operations.
“The menace of the annual holiday
onslaught is all the more serious,” Su
pervisor Pape stated, “when the class
of trees selected and the manner in
wrhich the cutters proceed is taken in
to consideration. If they followed a
thinning out process, their activities
might even be beneficial, but, because
of the economic problems involved,
the method followed by the cutters is
one which is most destructive to the
growing timber.
“Purchasers demand trees which
are well formed and this kind can be
secured in large quantities only
where the growth is rather scattered
and needs no artificial thinning. In
order to render their operations pro
fitable, the cutters select such tracts
and then make a clean sweep, as
their ratio of profits is increased
largely by the number of marketable
trees taken from a given acreage.
State laws prevent the cutting of
Christmas trees on state property.”
There is now, however, a growing
belief on the part of some legal au
thorities, Supervisor Pape said, that
such cuttings on privately owned
lands can be prevented on the gener
al principle that private interests
must always be subservient to public
welfare.
In addition to supplying Yuletide
decorations for state residents, Wash
ington Christmas trees are now being
shipped to many other state and even
to the American island possessions.
