Delegate Sutherland
and Fisheries Reserves
» {, _
Valdez Miner.
Hhving committed himself to opposi
tion to the fisheries reserve:., whether
clgritlyor wroDgly, Delegate Dan Suth
erland apparently does not propose to
give up the light until he is either vic
torious or defeated. He has never
ceased to claim that the reservation
system of comrol of the fisheries of
Alaska is but a ruse to hand over the
salmon fisheries of the North to the
“fish trust,” aad he has not been chary
in bis use of language in condemnation
of all those who have been iostru
mehtal in the creation of the reserves.
There is always the possibility that
Dan is wrong, but there is also a possi
biliiy that he may be right. Bigger
grabs than this have been pulled off,
and perhaps will be again :t is ap
parent that Mr Sutherland believes he
is ia the right, and evenj to the casual
observer there appears to be no slight
grohnds for the charges that the “big
.aterests” will not suSfer materially
under the Veservation System. How
tbs' little fare will be better known
next fall, but it is certain that their
present expectations are not optimistic.
Some color is lent to the claims of
ihe'foelfegate by the fact that to date
several of the big fellows have an
nounced their iutention to operate
mo^e plants and on a larger scale than
for'several years past This does not,
on the face of it, bear out the claim
that the reservations were created to
conserve the salmon, for more'intensive
canning operations is not likely to be
conducive to an increase in the supply
of fishi Not long sineb the Territorial
^hsh CoEamission recommeoded to the
Bureau of Sfisheries that a elosed sea
son be established during the salmon
run and that steps be taken to prevent
the waste of fish at the Alaska herring
packing plants. Upon the latter sug
gestion the Bureau has been prompt to
act," going so far as to notify the her
ring packers that they must be pre
pared to use all the fish caught by

them or they will not be permitted to
operate, but nothing has been done to
ward establishing the recommended
closed season for salmon, although it is
the salmon that is threatened with ex
tinction, not the herring
The Delegate spoke in Seattle on the
fisheries reserves, and says he is going
to campaign all over the Territory for
their abolishment, if he does he may
succeed in convincing every Alaskan
that he is absolutely right, but that
will not get him anywhere so far as re
sults are contained, for an> minor clerk
of the Bureau of Fisheries has more
weight with the powers that be than
all tbe residents of Alaska combined.
If he wants results, his one best bet
will be to horn in on the Congressional
party that is coming North this sum -,
mer to investigate the fisheries, and ,
tel) the members his side of the story |
right on the ground where he has the j
fish, the plants—the busy ones and the >
idle- to demonstrate his preposition^
that all is not right. That is his only ,
chance to win. j
