German Fairs Promote
Business with Neighbors
COLOGNE, Germany, June 12.—
, (/P)—The epidemic of fairs which is
sweeping over Europe has struck
I Cologne, which has just held its
third exposition in less than two
years. Time was when German en
terprise in fairs was limited to the
old, established fair at Leipsic, with
Frankfort as a second rate contend
er. Now there are regular spring
and autumn fairs in Leipsic, Frank
fort, Berlin, Koenigsberg, Breslau,
Danzig, Cologne and several other
cities.
Cologne argues on its behalf that
it is the door to western Europe,
the best emporium for the placing
of export orders for Belgium, France,
Holland, and England. It argues fur
| ther that it is the best clearing
house for the industries of the
Ruhr; that an exhibition of sample
products of these numerous indus
tries in one central place is both
good business for the exhibitors,
and a convenient method for the
prospective purchaser.
It is but natural that the Cologne
fair has as its specialty an exhibi
tion of everything connected with
modern heating. The Ruhr Valley
is the great coal and lignite basin
of Germany, and many and diverse
are the inventors and firms occupy
ing themselves with the problem of
rational heating. This year’s fail
abounded in heat-saving devices, such
as small stoves producing heat econ
omically.
The promotors of the fair say that
this year’s business was good. There
have been numerous buyers from
Belgium, Holland, and England, and
even some from France.

Gas Boat “Emma May”
Missing from Inlet Run
Captain Earl Clarks, skipper of the
| good ship Emma May, which operates
: between Sunrise station on the rail*
i road, across Turnagain Arm to Hope,
has been missing from her run since
the first of the month, according to
recent arrivals in Seward from the
mining district. It is believed Cap
tain Clark is in Anchorage with his
craft, but it is stated owing to the
' fact that no boat accommodation is
! available for crossing the Arm that
much delay has occurred in getting
in shipments of supplies and equip
| ment.

NO CHANCES OF
REGULATIONS ON
YUKON POSSIBLE
DEPARTMENT IS WITHOUT THE
AUTHORITY TO ACT, COM
MISSIONER WRITES.
The Department of Commerce is
without authority to remove the
restrictions against commercial Ash
ing in the Yukon River, whether
by residents or non-residents, ac
cording to a letter just received by
Secretary Karl Theile from Com
missioner Henry O’Malley, U. S. Bu
reau of Fisheres. He added that
facts developed in connection with
the salmon Asheries of that stream
in protests made by residents of
the Yukon Valley made the Bureau
unfavorable to asking Congressional
action permitting it to modify pres
ent restrictions.
The matter of opening the Yukon
River to commercial Ashing by resi
dents was brought to the attention
of the Department of Commerce by
House Joint Memorial No. 3, passed
by the last Alaska Legislature. This
embodied a resolution on the subject
which was adopted by the Grand
Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska at
its annual meeting held here last
March.
Text of Letter.
The Commissioner’s letter fol
lows:
“The receipt is acknowledged of
| your letter of April 24, 1925, enclos
ing certified copy of House Joint
Memorial No. 3, adopted by the pres
ent session of the Alaska Legisla
1 ture, requesting authority that sal
mon caught in the Yukon River be
sold without market restrictions.
Your courtesy in forwarding this
document is appreciated.
“I desire to call your attention
that it is impossible for the Bureau
! to take any action looking to the
opening of the Yukon River to com
mercial fishing by residents of oth
ers. Section 4 of the Act of Con
gress approved June 6, 1924, is as
follows:
“ ‘That it is unlawful to fish for
take, or kill any salmon of any spe
cies or by any means except by
hand rod, spear, or gaff in any of
the creeks, streams, rivers of Alas
ka: or within five hundred yards
of the mouth of any such creek,
stream of river over which the
United States has jurisdiction, ex
cepting the Karluk, and Ugashik
Rivers; Provided, that nothing con
tained herein shall prevent the tak
ing of fish for local food require
ments or for use as dog feed.’
Limited To Two Rivers.
“Referring ,to the authority given
the Secretary of Commerce, the Act
specifically states in section 1 that
—‘The right to establish fishing
arenas and to permit limited fishing
therein shall not apply to any creek,
stream, river, or other bodies of
water in which fishing is prohibit- ,
ed by specific provisions of this
Act.’ The only streams in which
commercial fishing is permitted un
der the law are the Karluk and
Ugashik Rivers. It is, therefore,
clear that the Secretary of Com
merce has no authority to permit
fishing in the Yukon River except for
local food requirements and for
use. as dog feed. It would not seem
that this proviso in any manner
authorizes commercial fishing in Yu
kon River without restriction as to
disposition of catch.
Move Is Unfavorable.
“Furthermore, it will be recalled
that for a number of years past,
and particularly during the time
that a salmon cannery was in oper
ation near the mouth of the Yukon
River, active propaganda was carried
on in behalf of the native* and
white residents of the Yukon Val
ley to stop all commercial fishing
in order to provide for local needs
for human food and dog feed. It
was then brought out that the run
of salmon in the Yukon River was
not large in comparison with the
size of the river and considering
the great extent of th3 spawning
area, it was also shown thac there
was great variation from year to
year in the size of the runs.
“Therefore, even if it were pos
sible to modify the restrictions now
in effect, the Bureau would not
feel that it could recommend the
taking of any such action as is re
quested in this memorial.’'
Germany Makes Easier
Movements of Tourists
BERLIN, June 12.—(/p)—New in
structions have been- issued by the
ministry of finance to German cus
toms officers in frontier towns to
facilitate tourist and other interna
tional travel as much as possible.
Not only is there abandoned the
practice which obtained during the
first years after the war, by which
every traveler must leave the rail
way coach with his baggage at the
frontier and submit to a careful in
spection of his belongings, but the
officers have been told merely to re
quire the occasional opening of a
trunk by way of making a test.
Transcit passengers who are mere
ly crossing Germany are not to be
molested at all. Thruout the cus
toms oflcials are to be polite and
accommodating.
The G-erman section' of the In
ternational Hotel Keppers’ Federa
tion has issued an appeal to its
members to send in good photo
graphs of German points of interest,
so that these may be used for Am
erican advertisements. The federa
tion points out that other countries
of the continent, especially Switzer
land and France, are spending much
money on advertising in the United
States and urges Germany to do like
wise.
