The Chamber Friday when it a thorough inve herring industry closure of manufacture of oil and mes prineipal reason it declined burg Chamber of Commerce’s of the premise and trolling sueh of herring, claimed, ha inroads threaten extinction No one who pretends to follow events Territory canl be unaware of the agitation v has been directed nst reduction plan several years, Repeatedly has the claim made that the h ng supply of th is being exhausted hy the operation of plants. Yet in all that time there has been no study made of the fish about which the troversy rages. No facts, old or new, assembled. And just what is the of Alaska's herring resources remains in doubt and more of a controversy it was four or more years ago. Even as to the actudl facts of the geason there is honest dispute. Official, and an parently very reliable, reports say the run of gpawning herring last Spring was the larg in many years; that while the seine boats v fishing off the capes, there were great sch of fish in inside waters; and that there w herring in great abundance off the shore wh prevailing winds had carried the food which i customary for them to come inshore to get. ( ‘the other hand, there are the admitted fa that the herring pack was smaller, the output of the reduction plants | and the bait stocks in the several cold storages smaller than year. Now these conditions are not necessarily discordant. Both sets of facts might well Dbe, and very likely are, true. But until® there shall be some one, or some osganization, whose special duty is to keep close watch In the situation, to investigate fully the puns, the habits and life of the fish themselves, it cannot be said with any certain degree of authority that th claims * are true or false, or the others are fal: The settlement of the controversy should not be left to haphazard measures nor made a political fasue. It s a matter for earnest research. Here we have three industries involved Industries that have been established for years nd in which millions of dollars of invested capital are at stake. Anything that threatens disaster to any of therh is very naturally a matter of deep con- cern to all Alaskans. Jach gives employment to hundreds, pays taxes to the Territory and is a unit in the economic and industrial structure of the Territory. The attitude of the Chamber in holding that wrherd is not availablé sufficient information -on the life of the herring for it to determine whether it would be dvisable to dis- continue the fishing of herring® for the manu- facture of oil and meal, and urging the Bureau of Fisheries to make a scientific study of the question, was the only one that it could, as representative of Jocal business interests, logi- cally take. The resolution that it adopted was moderate in tone, reasonable in its requests and should not be objectionable to any industry concerned. It should receive the support of similar organi- gations in the Territory which have taken as deen an interest in the question us has the Deal Chamber. They, too, are anxious that the real .state of the herring fisheries e ascertained rather than that new fuel be added to a useless con- ~ troversy which, in the very nature of things, will serve no good end. of adopiod a ommerce was cal ition and study of the than branches resolution & rather go on record of 1 it, from the to namaly fi the resolution by it industric whieh the certain adopt set the cause halibut aced Dby up salmon use made on con have | state much than real as today present Y 8 THE RECORD OF ST.

(Dawson News.) Aviator Bennett's landing here today, perfect as it .was, only goes to show that Dawson is sadly in need of a good landing fleld. Imagine a flier having to soar around for ten minutes or so before being able to pick out a safe and suitable place on which to drop his machine. It takes a realistic landing like Bennett's today to bring about the necessity of an airplane landing field at Dawson. Is the capital of the Territory going o be the only city in the North not able to boast ofa“ bona fide field? The beach may be all right, but there is the whole trouble. People take it for granted that the beach is smooth enough and that a flier has only to drop down anywhere. But how about the machines that are to fly here in the future? Last year the Fairbanks filer landed on the beach along the Dawson waterfront. This year it was too rough and he had to pick out another spot. Only expert aviators Mke Bennett are able to land their ships on a bunch of stones and boulders, If the beach is to be Dawson's landing field, why s it not fixed ‘up as such, instead of taking things so 'much for granted. 1 Dawson needs a landing fleld every bit ' as much as Keno or Mayo, or Falrbanks, or many of the other small towns in Alaska which have perfect gelds. so why not get ? 1Is Dawson going to take a back ‘seat le neighboring towns are leaping ahead? ¢ From some points of view, even if, as J.
