26 FOREIGN BOATS MENACE
BRISTOL BAY FISHING
LIBBY’YILLE. Bristol Bay, Alaska,
June 24—Tw o thousand tense Amer
ican fishermen are preparing to shove
off for the opening of the short but
prolific red salmon season which
opens along these shores tomorrow.
As they scanned the waters of the
•jay, they counted 26 large foreign
fishing boats and floating canneries
i waiting tbe arrival of the world’s
iargest red salmon run.
Michael Hatton of the fisheries bur
-a». sent to investigate the reported
“invasion” of the Bristol Bay fishing
grounds, said be had identified some
f them as Japanese. He also said
some were within the tk-ee mile limit.
Hatton said he drew up alongside
of one of the Japanese boats, but
that be did not get a very warm
welcome.
“Foreign boats have been increas
ing yearly.” Hatton said, “and with
the type of a ear they use there will
be no sale:'. a in these waters in five
or six years.”
Albert Davey, veteran fisherman
and trader of 22 yeaik, said he had
watched the foreign boats increase in
number during tie past, rune years.
"While wehave felt, no ill effects
yet. the type of fishing gear the for
eign. ships are using leaves little
change tor the salmon to get into
the bay. At this rate five years will
find no fishing in these waters,” be
said.
Edward Coffey- secretary of _ the
Alaska Resident Fishermen’s Union
and a member of the Territorial Leg
islature. commented:
v, e must protest this invasion of
foreign floating canneries. With the
.ype of gear they are using, they
cannot help but catch salmon. W e
feel they have no right there.”
Hatton added that efforts to per
petuate the run through the co-oper
ation of the canneries and the bur
eau of fisheries will be of no avail
if the foreign fishing continues to in
crease.
The height of the Bristol Bay sal
mon run is usually around July 1

NEWS FROM OTHER
ALASKAN TOWNS

ciude Charles Ruddell. Otto Nelson.
Loren McKechnie. -Oscar Kindgren.
H e r.ning Bensoz., 'Raymond Gnese,
Max Ennes and Henry Laako. The
colony is divided into eight districts
with one representative each. The
j first bus ire s of the council was to
recommend that heavy machinery be
readjusted over the colony and allot
ted according to the number of farms
in each district. The “pay-as-you-go”
plan, the colonists being paid accord
ing to what they actually accomplish
on their farm, is working out suc
cessfully. Ten of the colonists have
already balanced their slate with the
government and two have paid for
their farms. All the 200 homes in
the colony are occupied, and a busy
summer is anticipated.
Alaska Shins Much Produce—
If there be still a lingering doubt
in the minds of any resident of the
United States as to the value of Al
aska to this country, it should be
dissipated by the monthly reports on
products shipped from the Territory
as compiled by James J. Connors,
Collector of Customs. According to
May reports just at hand; Alaska
shipped during the month" of * May,
gold to the vaue of $1.26SJ?48, silver
worth $33,994. with copper and dth
: tr metals. including piatinum~ and
lead to the amount of $665,590.* Fur
; shipments at this time of the year
■ are naturally light, but despite thfis
I fact, furs arrived in Seattle from
I Alaska during May amounting in
lvalue to $11,275. Fish and fish prod
ucts amounted to the handsome total
of $885,449. rounding out a total val
ue of shipments of products from
Seattle's best easterner to the sum
of $2,855,532.
Anchorage-Palmer Road Closed—
The Anchorage-Palmer Highway
was officially declared closed last
week by the Rr-ad Commission offi
cials due to the sudden rise of the
Matannska River which has flooded
the entire area between the Matari-'
u*ka River bridre and the long Kn k
bridge. The sudden rise is undoubt
edly due to the heavy rainfall that
began one afternoon at four o’clotk
and continued all n’ght. It was
probably the heaviest rain seen in
the valley in many years. The flood
waters have riser, to a new high* and
have become a raging torrent, cut
ting back and forth across the road,
sowly eating away the road side and
creating deep gullies. Logs and de
bris are flouting over the flooded
road. A slid*- -between the Knik and
the Ekluma River bridges has near
ly blocked the road between those
points and numerous small rock
slides dot the highway. - It has been
impossible to ascertain the actual
depth of the deepest portion of the
fl„ooded stage, bet at is estimated
be in the neighborhood of three feet.
It is undoubtedly the deepest water
this particular section has ever
known.
