The Gateway:
I made an error in the year
that the Robe Lake weir at Val
dez was etablished; it was in ’23
and closed in ’6, and in that time
there have been thousands of
fish going up the lake and m'any
trout destroyed for which this
weir was built, and it surely
should be in operation.
Now that the salmon canneries
will soon be in operation again
what is our Legislation at Juneau
going to do about that $340,000
appropriated for the protection of
the seal and migratory route of
the salmon fisheries in Alaska?
For about two miles seine-gates,
inlets and bays, may be alright,
but why not keep it up if we are
going to protect one of the great
est things established, called a
fish weir wherever a stream lead
ing to a lake, spawning ground,
but abolished in 1926. 1 my
self had charge of the Robe Lake
weir or seine-gate at Valdez un
der the supervision of Mr. Baker
and Mr. Wentworth, and I will
say it is one of the greatest pro
tections to the salmon, and a
great help to the Bureau of Fish
eries. to keep record of th sal
mon by having those weirs. It is
easy to find out if the salmon
increase or decrease each year.
In 1925 about 40,000 red salmon
went through this weir, and 35.
000 trout taken away in 6 weeks
from those salmon.
We all know that the trout is
one of the greatest enemies to the
salmon, and next th sa gull, and
not th eagle. I say, take the
bounty off the eagle and put it
on the sea gull. This bird de
stroys 10.000 eggs, to the eagle
1.000. I myself am very much in
favor of protection of any game,
and especially the salmon, our
greatest industry in Alaska. The
canned salmon is shipped all
over the world, so why not pro
tec* it in time? Don't lock the
stable door after the horse is
gone. Why spend a lot of money
one vear and nothing the next?
5 think it is up to the people
and our Legislature, and not the
men in Washington, to regulate
this salmon fishery. I would sug
gest that our Legislature will try
‘o get some of that $340,000 to
keep these weirs going and also
have a watchman stationed at
each stream leading to the spawn
ing ground, so the fisherman will
not stop them from going up, for
as the regulation is nowr for the
fisherman, he is going to get fish
if he has to bootleg. By having
these weirs, it means a great pro
tection to the salmon and a bene
fit to the Bureau of Fisheries.
A record is kept of all fish go
ing up and also the trout are
put on the market and not wast
ed. If half of this 40.000 salmon
that went up the lake u^ere fe
males. that will mean another in
crease in the salmon, so why not
keep this good work up? I hope
that our Legislature will look into
this matter and get an appropri
ation for keeping all these weirs
and also the hatcheries going; by
doing that they are protecting
the greatect industry of Alaska,
and I believe every good Alaskan
is in favor of same.
