CLOSED SEASON ON SALMON IS
EFFECTIVE TODAY; CAHNERS TO
CONTINOE OPERATIONS, REPORT
ft
tv liile the Territorial statute clos-1
lug the salmon fishing season in this
district becomes effective today, there
was little indication that any of the j
fanners would comply with the law ,
which prohibits taking of salmon
for commercial purposes, except by
trollers, from August 10th, to Sep j
teruber 1st. It also seemed virtually !
assured that no action would be tak
en to prevent operation by the tan
ners during the present season.
Although directed by the Territori
al Legislature in a special resolution
to institute a test case against some
individual cannery to determine the
validity of the law, Attorney General
John Rnstgard said today that he
could take no such action. Ho char
acterized the resolution as "foolish."
He has no right, he added in ex- j
plauation, to enforce criminal sta
tutes and can only aid the U. S.
Attorney in prosecuting criminal ac
tions under the statute. He further
said that he could not seek an in
junction to prevent the canneries
from performing an ait that is made ,
criminal under the law in question. I
Two ways of bringing a test suit
were suggested by him. One lot
the cannners to ask for an injunction
to stop the enforcement of the law.
and, second, for the District Attorney
to lay information before the Grand
Jury and seek indictement of tilt 1
cannners who fail to shut down dur l
ing the closed season. 1
It is known that the cannors had I' ■ t
suggested to them that they try tlit , j
f ist method. So far, however, none ! f
have adopted it and persons who arc 1
well informed on the situation arc j *
of the opinion that they will not ust j ;
the suggested procedure. It is alsc-! t
generally understood that all the t
tanners will continue to operate un ;
til they have filled their cans or un- 1
til the salmon run is over. i
It is certain that all of them w!l ]
face criminal prosecutions. Tills j|
8 statement given a representative ofi
The Empire by U. S. Attorney A. 0
Shoup. At that time it was announe I
ed that information wimbl be laid
before the Grand Jury against every!
salmon eannnar wtio failed to comply I
with the Territorial law and indict
ments asked for so long as it re-1,
mained on the statute books or un
til It had been declared invalid by the
courts. It is not believed, however.'
that there will be any efforts made I
to stop the canning industry this sea-j
son in view of the expressed Inten
tion of the Legislature which, while!
willing for the packers to operate!
the entire season for which they had i
prepared before the law was passed, i
wanted a test case brought so that
the Territory's authority in the mat ;
ter of passing supplemental legisia !
tion could be parsed on by a court of |
competent jurisdiction before the,
1925 session of the Legislature con-|
venes. !

"We shall provide a separate tent
for the blue fox department,” he
said, "so that all animals offered
ror exhibit will be assurod plenty of
show room. An additional tent will
be added for the exhibitors of poul-;
try, pigeons, ducks and rabbits. The
side walls of the tent arc in four
sections, and if we should nee I ‘
more space thau-itae main tent af
ards, we can erect small tents on
sither Eide of the main tent and in
this way secure ail the space that
we will possibly need.

BUCK-STRIP SHOES
FOR MEN AND WOMEN—FOR OUTING OR WORK
They are truly a wonderful perfection of a PA
TENTED CONSTRUCTION. The Entire Vamp or the
foot part of the shoe is lined thru-out with a natural
calf leather which gives it double water resistancy.
The Buck-Strip which is sewed all around and over
that Seam of the Shoe where the upper leather con
nects with the vamp or foot part will enable the shoe
, to preclude water also the Buck-Strip which extends
around the forepart of the vamp is intended to retain
the Shape of the shoes at all time.
The leather is carefully selected and uniform in
quality. The soles are of Waggoner’s Pacific Hard
Oak Tanned Shoulder Leather.
All in all these special Features of construction
make it the only shoe of its kind on the market and
it has an advantage over all shoes yet made.
