Sidney T>. Charles, pioneer Alas
kan newspaper man, editor and pub
lisher of the Petersburg Herald, re
views the Alaskan fisheries regula
tions, recently imposed by the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries, in an editorial
under the heading, “Regulations of
the Bureau of Fisheries.” The editor
ial follows:
The residents of Alaska and all
others interested in its fisheries are
vitally concerned in the conserva
tion of the supply of salmon.
The Territory receives 75 per
cent of its income in pack taxes.
Everybody wants the fisheries regu
lated that sufficient propagation is
assured. But regulations will defeat
this purpose, if made in a haphazard
way without expert knowledge or ad
vice, especially when their nature
leaves considerable doubt, whether
they have not been made with a side
glance on political expedience.
We are confirming ourselves to
our immediate district: Southeastern
Alaska.
The Territorial legislature passed
in 1923 a law closing this district
north of the 57th parallel on Au
gust 20th, in each case for twenty
days. This law did not consider
the time of entrance of salmon at
various points from the ocean, nor
their route and was therefore ama
teurish. It was held unconstitution
al by the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Bureau of Fisheries is sup
posed to have expert knowledge
and if not, could have obtained
same from experts as to the ap
pearance of salmon at the different
entrances from the ocean, as to
their route of travel, and as to the
difference in time of the run in
the different localities. But they
simply adopted the Territorial law

subject of close scrutiny for more
than a year—as soon as it had re
ceived autocratic power through the
Fisheries Act passed June 6, 1924.
If the Bureau of Fisheries wants
the confidence of the people of
Alaska and whole hearted co-opera
tion from the fishing interests, it
ought to establish regulations that
are equitable, based on expert knowl
edge and not decreed autocratically
with an according gesture. Besides, I
we believe that the traps, especially
those at the entrauce of tine salmon
routes are rather favored, although
unintentionally, because everybody !
knows that at least five days pass be
tween the appearance of salmon and
the ability of the seiner to catch
them.
The only real conservation meas
ure formulated by the Bureau of
Fisheries so far, as we see it, are
protection of streams nad creeks, that
is the spawning grounds proper, and j
destruction of enemies of spawn and
fine. Both could be very much in
tensified especially the latter. It
would have likely more far-reaching
results than haphazard closing of fish
ing grounds.
Clever Device to Destroy
Liquor Fails to Work
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Sept. 21.— |
Members of Sheriff Callahan’s and j
Nick Rust’s police officers recently
arrested Francis D’Aprile, owner and
proprietor of the grocery store on the
lower floor of the U. S. Hotel build
ing, 700 West Holly street, on a
charge of illegal possession of intoxi
cating liquor. D’Aprile was taken to
the county jail, where he furnished
$500 bail and will appear at the con
venience of the superior or justice
court judges.
Recounting the incidents leading up
to the arrest of D’Aprile, a police of
ficer this morning said officers en
countered a clever device for the de
struction of booze in just such em
ergencies as that of last week—only,
the officer said, it failed to work.
On the entrance of the officers to
D’Aprile’s store, the proprietor was
shown the search warrant carried
by the officers. A "shake down” of
the erstwhile grocery store was then j
started by the officers. D’Aprile back
ed into a corner of the store and
there calmly watched the officers.
It was not until a member of the
police force started toward the door
opening from the store room to the
basement, that D’Aprile showed con
cern. The officer tried the door be
fore noticing a small latch. As he
unfasened the latch and was push
ing the door cautiously open, there
was a crash as of something fall
ing. Pushing the door clear, the of
ficer saw on the landing at the top of
the stairs, leading to the basement,
several bottles, one of which was sit
ting upright and containing moon
shine whiskey. None of the bottles
were corked.

England Will Inaugurate
Giant Air Defense Scheme
NEARLY SCORE OF NEW AER
DROMES BEING LAID DOWN BY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT FOR AC
COMMODATION OF DEFENSE
LONDON, Sept. 23.—It is learned
authoritatively that the new Air De
fense scheme of Great Britain will
come into operation on April 1 of
next year. Air Marshal Sir John
(“Tails Uu”) Salmond will take up
next March the appointment of Chief
of the Home Defense Force.
Plans are now being prepared for !
the inauguration of the scheme. Great
Britain will be divided for air pur
poses into a suitable number of
areas, on lines similar to the Army
commands, and each of these will be
controlled by a separate air chief.
The work of the whole will, however,
be controlled and co-ordinated by
Sir John Salmond, who will work in
conjunction with the Army and the
Navy.
The predominant factor in the de
fense of these islands will, however,
be the Royal Air Forces.
Already nearly a score of new
aerodromes are being laid down for
the accommodation of the defense
squadron.
A new feature, moreover, will be
that each unit will have specific
duties, and will be manned by expert
pilots. Instead of the pilot being
expected to fly any and all types of
planes he will specialize in that with
which his squadron is equipped.
The plan to be adopted will be a
“defensive-offensive” one. Modern
fighters will guard our coasts, cities
and towns, and long distance bomb
ing planes will carry war into the
country of the attacking nation.
One of the first of the new long
range bombing squadrons has beta
established at Worthy Down, near
W! ichi «Utei.
T'iiv'ae »i w bombers are the large-i
>»■» t»uill. The squadron is ihe firvt
c' a lumber that are beu’.: f rm>d.
The planes are each fitted with two
450 h. p. Napier lion engines, have
a speed of nearly 120 miles an hour,
and are able, with a huge load of
bombs, to remain in the air for 12
hours without having to alight for
new supplies of fuel.
Each machine carries a crew of
three, and one of the features of its
design is a “gun tunnel” in the bot
tom of the fuselage, so that a ma
chine gunner, lying prone on his
face, is able to sweep beneath the
tail of the plane with a hail of
bullets. This spot hitherto has al
ways been a vulnerable one.
Future Design
.Mil llieii UU1I1UIU5 an,
in future, be designed to be fitted
with three engines — one high pow
ered engine in the center, and a sim
ilar motor on either side.
The center engine -will be used to
lift heavy loads into the air, which
could not be done without it, or
when high speed is needed. The ad
vantage of the three-engined aero
planes will be that they will be able
to carry enormous loads of bombs,
and will be able to reach home even
if one or two of the engines are put
out of action on a raid.
Endeavors to produce wultiple-en
gined planes in other countries have
not been particularly successful, but
the Air Ministry hopes to triumph
where others have failed. If the in
itial tests are satisfactory plans will
be prepared for the building of a
machine equipped with a 1,000 h. p.
Napier-Cub, the most powerful aero
engine that has yet been flown, and
two other h. p. motors.
