RAIDS OK FISH
i TRAPS PRODUCE
GRAVE PROBLEM
Situation Said to Be Serious
in Ketchikan District
in New Reports.
Raiding of fish traps and destruc
tion of floating traps have attained
serious proportions in the Ketchi
kan district, according to reports
reaching U. S. Attorney A. O. Shnup.
These reports, he .‘.aid, were con
firmed in a telegram he had re
ceived from J. R. Beegle, prominent
Ketchikan businss man and sub
stantially interested in the salmon
canning industry.
On receipt of the original reports
of alleged operations of pirate craft,
Air. Bhoup in a cablegram to Mr.
Beegle, asked for information as to
the status of conditions in the dis
trict, and for a suggestion as to a
solution of the difficulty. Mr.
Beegle answered that the "situa
tion is serious.” He added that
there have been numerous trap
robberies, watchmen held up, and
in several instances the trap robbers
have shot at cannery boats. An
end could be brought to the Illegal
operations, he added, If cannerymen |
who buy “pirate fish’’ would stop.
that practice.
“In this opinion, I heartily con
cur," said Mr. Shoup. Officers of
the law, he added, are doing every
thing in their power to give the
cannerymen the protection to which
they are properly entitled. His of
fice, he admitted, has heard rumors
that certain canners are purchasing
fish which they should know are
“pirate fish.” Such a practice com
plicates the problem and makes it j
harder to deal wfth, and more dif-;
I ficult to protect the cannerymen
i who are complying in every way.
r with the law.
i During the present month, said;
j Mr. Shoup, reports have been re-'
celped of three cannery tenders be- J
ing fired on by “pirate craft.” Two j
of those were tenders of th'c Yes
: Bay plant operated by the Burk
I hardt interests, and one was the'
'tender Coast of the Annette Island j
i Packing Company. Destruction of I
| floating traps and gear on the west j
coast of Prince of Wales Island was]
I also reported.

DRY WEATHER AT WRANGELL
Prolonged dry weather caused a
shortage of the water supply at
Wrangell. The sawmill and other
users of water and electric current
were compelled to close. The situa
tion has been relieved.
