PRESIDENT’S TRIP TO
ALASKA IS ENDED;NOW
ON HIS WAY TO STATES
(Continued irr - i anb Joe.)
him x new vision of Alaska and, as
he himself has said, a new deter
initiation lo do all in Ills power to
bring this vast territory to the fullest
development.
Alaskans Share Feeling.
Mueh as was the regret of the I
President and other members of the1
party at leaving the Territory where!
they have been welcomed so t or j
dlally, such feeling was obviously:
shared to the greatest degree by the |
people of Alaska- Whatever tl>e!
Government may do to aid Alaska ]
In the future as the result of the;
President's visit, the people of Al-'
aska declare much has already been
done because for two weeks more at
teutlon has been directed toward the
Territory than at any time eince It
was purchased by the United States
In 1867. The residents, furthermore,;
believe President Harding's visit has
served to enlighten the people of the
States regarding Alaskan resources
and to dispel old Ideas derived from
the early designation of the Terri
tory as “an ice bos.”
The President during his two weeks
stay, has visited 11 towns aud sev
cral more little settlements, has made
three trips into the interior and
has sailed along more than 1,000
miles of the Territory's coast line.
Gov. Scott C. Bone, who left the
party here after having traveled
with it throughout the Territory, es
timated that one-third of the popu
lation of Alaska had greeted the Chief
Executive and Mrs. (Harding during]
their visit.
Greeted Hear Historic Spot.
The President was welcomed on
landing haN about m a. m. Sunday
bjt the entire population of the town,
gathered on the old parade ground
near the spot where the actual
transfer. ot the Territory was made
tpore tlmn one-half century ago. In
hia addireas he said be did not know
Ills party could receive “a more be
fitting farewell than on this his
We go away with (1 no impressions !
and with many suggestions which, j
1 hope, will ho helpful to you and (
to your Government.
Predicts Statehood.
"Alaska is a great and glorious ;
part of tlie American t'nion and I
hope for the ultimate development j
to bring you into full sisterhood." |
The visit to the Territory, he said !
fui'.her, had brought some happy;
disappointments in that he and hist
Cabinet members had found much I
less the matter with Alaska and thej
Government’s relation with Alaska
than had liqen widely proclaimed.
Secretaries Work, Wallace and
Hoover and Speaker Gillette also
made short farewell addresses and
thin President and Mrs. Harding]
were presented with a number of
gifts, ranging from paintings of
beautiful Sitka harbor to a hasket
of big strawberries. The Chief Kx
ecuUve and Mrs. Harding did not
return to the Henderson until late
in the afternoon. After the parade
and general exercises, they, with
other members of the official party,
attended services at the Indian Pres
byterian Church and visited the
Sheldon Jackson School which Is
maintained by the Women’s Board,
of Home Missions of the Presbyter
ian Church. During the visit to
the school, members of the. party
were served with salmonberries and
cake, the latter made by the Indian]
girl students. Visits were also made
to the Sitka National Monument
which is a park located on the out
skirts of town, containing probably
the best collection of totem poles in
Alarkn; the Sheldon Jackson Mem
orial Museum; the Pioneers’ Home,
and the Greek Catholic Church, one
of the remaining reminders of Ru>
sian rule. There gifts were pres
ented and the distinguished visitors
conducted through the edifice.
Serenade the Pioneers.
The residents of the Pioneers'
Home were given a rare musical
treat Sunday, when, by direction of
the Preaident, the U. S. Navy Bnnd
gave a ooneert during the afternoon
at the Pioneers' Home.
'.iiiartly after 9 p. m., the Hender
son weighed anchor and the first
visit ever made to Alaska by a
President of the United States cam«
to an end In Sitka.

HOOVER TO APPOINT COMMISSION
FOR ALASKA FISHERIES sRESERVE
POLICY WILL NOT BE ABANDONED
(Continued ««rom raise One.) p
; tlonal fisheries elsewhere. In fact,!
i It should have been undertaken In
i Alaska years ago. Morover, through I'
; Weetern Alaska, where actual meas-(
I ures have been taken, I have found
i unanimous support of the depart-j
| ment's policy of reserves and other
: methods for the Immediate limitingi
i of the amount of fish taken pending,1
: action by Congress.
Charges Mkrepresentation.
Jr “The need for conservation in Al-l
aska lias been recognized for over
! ton years and has been a constant]
'subject of dehatp and: discussion and'
I am greatly fyAnsed to see the1
large measure of support given the!
administration for having substltut-]
ed action for pious discussion. Re
striction on activities nearly causes
sacrifice and trouble. I regret that
the purpose of the reserves has
been deliberately misrepresented to
the people In Western Alaska and
elsewhere, nof on)y us to purpose!
j but as to fhe, actual methods ln-j
'stalled. Howaef, the working of,
j the reserves for a season has demon-1
strated to these people the untruth.
,101 the statements.
“It is to be hoped that Congressi
will take Immediate action to give
more constructive authority. In the
|. meantime this administration does
not Intend to sit idly by denying re
sponsibility under the authority al
ready available but to use it to the
fullest effect. This is the largest of
the Alaska industries. More than .
half her population and more than,
iiaif her Territorial revenues are de
pendent upon it. It can in time be i
built up to much larger dimensions'
than at present. If nothing is done
I it will be lost in a few years. It is,;
i of vital importance to the whole
i American people as a source of na
I tional food supply.
Needs Broad Legislation.
| “New legislation, in order to be j
j effective, must be of the broadest :
|possible order. Because of the dif
j flcult topographical and biological i
I problems of eaeh locality, together ’
I with the differing rate of depletion I
|of different species and many other t
^factors, the method of regulation ; t
must vary with each locality if we <
would serve the primary purpose of <
securing a rebuilding of the fish sup-! I
ply and at the same time do abso
lute justice to the canners and the;
fishermen in maintaining the Indus-'
try, and in the end gradualy build
a permanent Alaskan population do-;'
voted to the fisheries. There are no;
universal panaceas for this whole!
problem In Alaskn
"Neither seasonal restrictions nor:
limitations of pack, limitation of:
any particular gear, or its location,'
are universally ‘ applicable as every!
district is a problem to itself. The
complete suppresion of canning upon
the Yukon has already increased the|
supplies for natives, whites and dogsj
throughout the Interior where before |
the supply was Insufficient and;
there was even actual starvation,
among Indians' work dogs. In other:
places regulations have reduced the!
pack of red salmon which is the
uioet deoleted. and a reduction in
the amount of gear that can be
need by each cannery on every spee
los should tend' to make the total
pack less.
"In preparatidn of escapement to
the spawning grounds, as example
of a variation of methods in Bristol
Bay. the regulations abolished the
Whole of the existing traps in Cook
Inlet. On the other hknd the Inde
pendent flnhermen as well as the
dtmnere support the necessity of the
#kdd%4)teJorttjr of tbo take being by
Tie Is due to. \lis physical
character pf the bey* ae well a* to
>ther factors. Much experience will,
jo required to evolve the most suc-j
icssful method of balancing the fac
ers and securing the recuperation'
>f tiie fish supply. Therefore, all
.alk of definite laws universally1
tpplirablo is nonsense. There must
10 variable and constructive regula-.
Ion under broad authority. Further-!
nore. in dealing with prohiems of!
10 wide human and property inter-)
;utF, there should be established j
indcr such legislation an appro-'
print e method of appeal to some,
ndependent commission or author-1
ty. Tiie experience gained tender
ihe^ri'-serves will be of gre&t' value
u working out conetructtve legisla
tion and the administration lias
Mtrneetly desired and received a
rreat deal of constructive suggestion
'rcm the people involved in the in
lustry.
Will Create Commission.
“In order that there shall be defin
ite machinery for recruiting such
ixpcdltion and to secure the advice
and co-operation of tiie various ele
ments of the industry and the public
atjurge in Alaska in the temporary
measures now being applied. 1 shall,
with the approval of the President,
male a board in Alaska to consider
and advise with the department as
to the regulations under the ro
icrves. This advisory board will be
ible to advise upon methods andi
rrievanees and will I am confident
not only reinforce constructive'
vork but will give full voice to the
Uaekan people, and make impossible |
he deliberate misrepresentation
which has hitherto been current.
)ur primary purpose Is to restore'
his industry, the responsibility!

luthority to translate It into .action.!
“Pious statements, scientific dis-|
msslon, and political oratory will
