BEEGLE FAVORS
FISH RESERVES
NEED IS GREAT
Ketchikan Canner and Busi
ness Man Favors Pro
posed Reservation.
Pending the enactment of a new
Alaska fisheries code by Congress
the only salvation for the preserva
tion of the fisheries industry in
-Southeastern Alaska, lies in the cre
ation of a fisheries reserve, in the
opinion of J. R. Beogle. president of
i •he Beegie Canning Company of
Ketchikan. Mr. Reegle arrived here
Ion the Spokane last Saturday on a
I business trip and will return to
j Ketchikan sometime this week.
Under existing legislation and regu
lations, said Mr. 1!eagle, it is vir
tually impossible for the Bureau of
Fisheries to prevent (lie further de
pletion of tlie salmon supply. Ha
I emphasized the need for protection
of t!ie runs in the immediate future
without having to await the passage
c;f legislation by (' ingress, which
Ike d ’?s not consider likely at the
* pi*c on' session of Congress, lie sai l
that Commissioner O'M alley, of th
Bureau of Fisheries, is sincerely !
-drolls of adopting a practical nietho !
of fisheries regulation that will re
; suit in a healthy fishing and can
ning industry profitable alike to th
Territory anil to tile people who have
j invested capital in the business. Th
Commissioner, he said, is able and
practical and stands for a square I
deal all around.
j Th Department of Commerce, said
Mr. Beegie, has been asked to
quest the establishment, by execu
tive order, of a fisheries reserve t >
j cover the fisher; s of Southeastern
Alaska “It is possible that such
i reserve will he created before the
j beginning of the next fishing season
| and i hope it will be done. This is
