Stern Measures Advocated by Alaska
Fisheries Advisory Committee for Next Year
Regulations more drastic than any ever before attempted tor
the salmon industry and a closed season lor herring, as well as
regulations closing Resurrection Bay 84 hours out of each week, and
lljranik Bay next season, were contained in recommendations passed
by the Alaska Fisheries advisory committee to become effective for j
the season of 1025. These recommendations will be submitted to
Secretary Hoover with the request that they be embodied in regula
tions for issuance as soon as possible so that cannevs and fisheimen
^may have adequate notice ot the requirements next season.
The meeting Gov. Bone said, was j
very harmonious and satisfactory in
every respect. It was attended by
the Governor, Calvin C. Hazelet,,
who was elected Secretary, Harry E. j
* Ellsworth, Carl A. Sutter and Sam-1
uel Buttes, members, and U. S. j
Fi>heries Commissioner Hari*y O’
Mai ley and Asst. Fisheries Agent E.
M. Ball. The Committee was in ses
sion virtually a’.l day, entt ng its first
meeting at 5 p. m. yesterday
4 Ask Many Restrictions.
The Committee asked for many
resrictions, beginning with the
mouths of the Yukon river and ex
tending through all of the various
areas to the southern border of the
Territory. They follow' largely the
suggestions made by Commissioner
O’Malley.
In Southeastern Alaska for next
season the recommendations in
volve: 37 individual closed areas
covering as many bays, coves, pas
sages, etc.! four distinct districts^
with varying close seasons on com- j
mercial fishing for salmon; sweep-,
ing regulation of traps in the north
ern end of the Division, and severe
limitation of gear on seine boats. •
A close season is recommended for
the Yakutat area in addition to the
regulations applying to the current
season. *
In the Copper River , it is re
quested that stake nets be entirely
abolished and gear limited to drift
gill nets of specified sizes. Close
seasons are also asked for in this
area.
A close season in Prince William
Oound is also recommended and
minor regulatory measures sought.
Other recommendations included:
a three and one-half day closure
in Resurrection Bay; close season:
pin Cook Inlet and the establishment
of restricted zones around stream I
mouths; opening a small area near
Cape Uyak, closing Uganik Bay, Vis-j
koda Bay and Terror Bay, in the Ko
diak area; provide for a stated es
capement at Chignik; continue pres
ent regulations in Bristol Bay, Port
Moller and Herendeen Bay and make
such further regulations as may
seem necessary when complete re
ports are received from field men;
limit the catch in the Port Heiden
area; continuing present regulations
at Ikatan, King Cove, Squaw Har
bor and Izenbak Bay and limit gear
to be used; establish closed areas off
the various mouths of the Yukon riv
er.
Traps Hit Hard.
The tr^o recommendation covers
only the waters in Southeastern Al
aska north about on a line drawn
through the vicinity of Kake and
northward. In that area it is recom
^ mended that a.11 traps be placed not
less than two miles apart. South
of the 57th parallel trap fishing
would be unaffected. It is under
stood' that Mr. Sutter, who repre-!
sents the packers on the Commit-1
t»e, objected to sb drastic a pro-;
vision but without avail.
Touching on seines, the Commit-!
tee’s recommendations said:
• “Throughout Southeastern Alaska’
only one seine should be permitted!
per boat. They should be permitted;
less depth than 200 meshes, nor
of a greater depth than 300 meshes.
No seine shall be of less than
150 fathoms in length, nor longer
than 250 fathoms, measured on the
cork line. No leads will be per
mitted. The mesh of seines shall
measure 3M: inches stretched.”
The following areas and close
seasons were recommended:
“In the waters of Southeastern
Alaska between the 58th and 60th
parallels of north latitude, commer
cial fishing should close at 6 p. m.
August 5 and remain closed for the
remainder of the pear.
“In the waters between the 57th
and 58th parallels, commercial fish
ing should cease at 6 p. m. August
11 for the remainder of the year.
“In the waters south of the 57th
parallel, excluding those of Prince
of Wales Island north of Narrow
4
Point along the northern shore and (
along the west shore from Pt. Gake; j
to Cape Chacon, and the west and |
southern shores, the close season
should begin August 20 at 6 p. m.
and continue to September 15. An
other close season should begin Oc
tober 15 at 6 p. m. and continue to,
the end of the year.
“In all waters of the west, north;
and east coasts of Prince of Wales
Island northward from Narrow:
Point to Pt. Baker and thence to
Cape Chacon and in all waters of
Etolin Island along the west coast
and those of adjacent islands in
Clarence Strait, the close season J
should begin at 6 p. m. August 22
and continue to the end of the
year. In this area commercial fish
ing for salmon, except for trolling,
should be prohibited from January
1 to midnight of July 14 of each
year.”

W J. Bryan Talks on
Theory of Evolution
SEATTLE, Sept. 15.—In a speech
at the First Methodist church in this
city last night William J. Bryan said
in part: “When we send our sons
and daughters awray to be educated
we do not want their hearts robbed
of a belief in God. Professors who
teach evoluton and preachers who
deny the Virgin birth of Christ and
who doubt the miracles of the resur
rection and the blood of Christ at
the moment are calling the Bible a
lie and bringing Christ down to the
level of man, and man down to the
level of beasts.”
In discussing Nicholas Murray But
ler’s recent interview regarding li
quor, Bryan said that because Butler
found liquor necessary for him he
thought it was necessary for overy
one. There are many people who
do not need alcohol to stimulate their
brain. Bootleggers convicted three
times should be sent to prison as
habitual criminals, and his patron is
lower than he is and more of a crim
inal to buy liquor than to sell it.
