OLD FISH BILL
William Paul, attorney of Wran
geil, en route to Washington, D. C.
to appear before the congressional
committee of marines and fisheries
in support of the Sutherland bill
for conserving the salmon of Alas
ka, was a visitor In port last night
while the Spokane was in.
Delegate Sutherland's bill pro
vides for a commission to consist of
representatives from the packers as
sociation, from the fishermen, the
territory and the bureau of tishories.
i j make rules and regulations for
the conservation of salmon in Alas
ka.
Mr. Paul will oppose the "sub
stitute bill" which was prepared by
Attorney K. S. Metjrd, representing
the packers, and favored by Clias.
1). Garfield, of the territorial flsh
commission, which give the secre
tary of commerce broader powers to
deal with the situation in Alaska,
and to close fishing streams at will
and specify the sort of fishing gear
that shall be used.
Mr. Paul said that the Sutherland
b.ll providing for a resident com
iission familiar wi.h the conditions
will likely prove t!.e most effective
means for conserving the salmon
and at the same lit.-ie give everyone
engaged in the fishing business a
square deal.

NEW HISTORY OF TERRITORY
"There are three remedies for the
present condition to this country,"
according to Jack Lincke, associate
editor of the Anchorage Times and
associate Press representative in
Southwestern Alaska.
"These remedies are systematic
advertising of the right sort, co
operation between the various towns
and driving out of the calamity
howler and knocker."
^r. C. J. Lincke arrived on tho S.
S. Northwestern fr«m the states and
left for Anchorage on this morn
ing's train. In his interview with a
representative of the Gateway he
stated further, "that in my trip
thru the States i found the same
old ignorance of the conditions in
Alaska as have always existed. Sev
eral times 1 had to meet and explain
away the false impressions gained
through the reading of a knock or
calamity howl let up by some mis
guided or misinformed person and
spread thru the pi^ss.
"Regardless of the fact that the
I'nited States government is spend
ing millions of dollars in the build
ing of a government railroad in Al
aska some people have barely heard
of it. I had a representative busi
ness man in the states ask me what
manner of transportation we had to
tiie interior of Alaska or whether It
was possible to reach it at all In the
winter time. When I explained that
one could get on a train at Fair
batiks and ride to the coast, he was
surprised. He said, 'I thought that
the Guggles only built their road
as far as their mine and the rest of
the way was traveled by dog teams.'
It seemed almost impossible that a
man of means who was paying taxes
•ould be ignorant of the spending
)i millions of dollars in Alaska by
lie United States government on a
•ailroad.
We must enlighten the people In
he States upon th« true conditions.
Co do this we must hare systematic
>tid extensive advertising. Oue town
an not do this and there must be
o-operation throughout the whole
lisirict for the common good of all.
t'e must silence the knocker and
alamity liowler and preach optlm
sm.
Mr. Lincke, together with Miss ^
C. Wilson, daughter of Eugene Wil- {
on, vice-president of the National [
iank of Tacoma, Is writing a his- I
Dry of Alaska, covering the period I
rom the Gold Rush to the present i
ime. This book alms to show just I
.'hat Alaska means to the world at I
arge, and especially the United J
:tates. It will emphasize all of Al- C
ska's resources, pointing out the |
levelopment In the gold, coal, oil, I
tc., industries. It aims to prove \
hat Alaska Is not occupied merely J
iv adventurers, but Is a land of I
lomes and made up of the home- I
oving people. !
This book is to contain historical
lata which will provide publicity to
>very town In the territory. It wil
eature stories showing Alaska In <
he summer rather than in winter,
t will be Bimilar to Mr. Lincqe's his
ory of the development of Alberta,
'anada.
Miss Wilson is at present in Sitka
>btaining information and historical
lata from the pioneers at the Pio
jeers' Home. In this way they hope
:o get first hand information which
will give them th« opportunity to
pay proper tribute to the true Alas
kan.
As a means of advertising, Mr.
Lincke suggests the formation of a
dying squadron consisting of the sec
retaries of the Chambers of Com
merce of all Alaskan towns. The
purpose of this squadron will be to
go to the State In order to enlight
en the people as to the true condi
tions in Alaska.—Seward Gateway.
