Seattle, Oct. 5.—Eh Dan Suther
land, Delegate to Congress from
Alaska, uuon his arrival here ft :r.
Nome last week, de: • .red that the a •
tion of the U. S. Department of C
merce. presided over by ■ I pi t
Hoover, has created an Alaskan "iiM
ing trust,” in creating i ,mei-..i:s ' !
mon fishing reserves in he Te i ••!;..
JHe states tliat this condition bus cre

Alaska.
"I found the beneficiaries f the re
serve system in a jubilant ft e (,f
mind over t tie exclusive fishing ptivi
leges they bave obtained by gr . from
the Department of Cutunit-ice,” .-aid
the Delegate. “On the other li.t.d.
many residents of the Tin in rv have
been driven out of their fishery rights,
that they had good reason to believe
were guaranteed by Congress and the
courts.
‘The resew" * ■’ he explained, “takes
in all Alaskan waters west of Co k’s
Inlet. The ruling restricts fish.ng to
cannery interests already on tie
ground, barring independent fi her
men.
“The district court of A'.j ka, year
ago, ruled that there could ! • no i t
s umption of exclusive fishery rights id
Alaskan waters, and the appellate
court upheld the ruling.
“Now comes the L), piirtn out i f Coit.

courts as well as the star." is of ^ on
gress, abrogates ihe poi ic r ; tit.-, C
fishery in order that the Alaskan tis;,
iDg waters may be parceled out to cer
