Hatchery Men Transferred;
H. F. Starr to Relieve Drager
Travel orders were received this
week by Supt. Drager for himself and
Hatchery Assistant J. C. Bush. Mr.
Bush will leave for Ketchikan imme
diately following Mr. Starr’s' arrival
in Seward, while Mr. Drager will wait
over a week to acquaint Mr. Starr
with the station and the proposed
plans for next season’s operations
Mr. Starr, who corned here from the
Ketchikan hatchery, has been with the
commission for several years; pre
vious to his assignment to the Ketch
ikan station he was hatchery foreman
at the Juneau station, which has
since been abandoned. Mrs. Starr and
children will either arrive on the
same boat or one soon after. The old
er of the two boys will take over the
duties of hatchery assistant tempo
rarily.
Mr. Drager informed the Gateway
that he had received no definite in
sturctions as to what his new assign
ment would be but thought that it
would probably be in charge of the
new field station at Duke’s island,
where there is being constructed a
large salt-water feeding pond for the
feeding of young salmon fry. This
work (the feeding of young sal
mon fry in salt water feeding ponds)
is oiie of the most far-reaching steps
in the propagation of salmon that has
been taken in years, and is the direct
result of the experiments carried on
last year by the Alaska Territorial
Fish Commission under the direct su
pervision of Supt. of Hatcheries, Ed
win Wentworth. These experiments
proved the plan feasible, and the re
sults obtained in rapid growth were
remarkable. Salmon fry placed in the
salt water feeding pond June 2 had
attained the length of eight inches by
August 21, less than three months
later. This work has attracted con
siderable attention from the people
interested in fish propagation and
conservation. The Pacific Fisherman
in one, of their issues devoted consid
erable '.space to the work and gave
the Te&itory due credit.
Sewaijtl loses two good citizens in
Mr. Draper and Mr. Bush. Both have
made a |wide circle of friends while
here, and it is with deep regret we
chronicle! the change.

realty which has brought us all things
into being as part of itself.”
He expressed his belief in Christ as
“A symbol of the Son of God, who was

a literal acceptance of this belief im
possible.”
