SPORT FISHING, AN ASSET. Only by comparison is the value of the common ' place made apparent. To Alaskans fish is some- thing one catches in almost any old stream or lake for pleasure or eating, or hauled in large quantities from salt water and put in cans for commercial purposes. Thus the comment by those from the Outside who have seen sport fishing in its dying gasp in the many places in the States comes as a timely and worthwhile warning of disaster the future may bring. It is hard for fishermen in the Territory to grasp the picture of lining up for fishing in Eastern streams as one would to buy a ticket at a theatre, but Corey Ford and Alistair McBain, those two widely known and expert writing anglers from the East, who are now here enjoying some of the Alaska sport, paint a vivid picture which does not sound well for the future of sport fishing in the North. The influx of fishermen from Outside coupled with the resident catch, and with no regu- lations as to the number of fish taken or the manner in which they #re caught, spells the doom of good sport fishing if it is aliowed to continue,' they declare. Said Mr. Ford: ) We've seen it happen in other parts of | the country. In New Jersey last month we I saw fishermen standing in line to get down | to a stream that had been stocked with trout from a hatchery two days before. Maine is rapidly being fished out. Our trip across the country showed that sit- uation prevailing to an appalling extent in States that only a few years ago drew fish- ermen from all over the country. Ten years | fram .. now--maybe . less, if done about it—you'll have a bounty. on fish- ermen. Fortunately, you can still do some- | thing about it—if only you will realize your peril. Protection now, they point out, is the only answer, and it is a thought that can well be given early consideration. Sport fishing is a natural asset that could be put on the same plane as big game which has made Alaska famous. - —— - Thirty-four colonists homes are + way bill.

Ordinarily we would not pay any attentian to mimeographed propa- ganda but Local 203 of tne Inter- national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers took exception, in vesterday's issue, to the fact that we want to operate our dock in our own way. They insist a dock is a public thoroughfare when a pas- senger ship is docked, which is not the case. Private property is still private property regardless of what kind or how many ships are docked thereto. When the crowds make it difficult to work the freight from the slings to the warehouse it is necessary to take steps to correct that condition. The article stated that “an unassuming picket was walking up and down the Alaska Steamship dock.” They neglected to mention that several cthers were walking along with him forming what might easily be termed a parade, especially in view of the fact a banner was being carried. The “stranger” who asked him to put the banner away should not have been unknown as he is the Asst. Manager and Cashier of the dock and has been on active duty there for nearly a year. Forgetting, for the moment, -the pres and cons of the walkout at the Alaska-Juneau, the fact remains that we have an agreement with the local longshoremen which we are living up to and we are entitled to right of way on our dock for those longshoremen handling the freight. We are paying a high rate demanded by the longshoremen last winter and our relations with the . longshoremen are fairly peaceful. There is no strike at the dock and we see no reason why the dock chould be drawn into a controversy Ly the display of banners and a scries of parades on behalf of an organization having no legitimate business on the waterfront. Because a few hoodlums choose to make things unpleasant, it is necessary, for the time being, to put up the gates on the face of the dock and keep all but those on the longshore payroll from en- Juying the privilege of meeting the ships. We trust the general public wiil understand the necessity for this action and be governed accordingly. THE PACIFIC COAST CO., GEO. H.
