In addition to dramatizing the salmon run, canning activity “and other interesting phases of the in- dustry, Edward W, Allen, Seattle at- torney, commissioner of the Inter- national Halibut Commission, and 1 most interesting talk on the sal- mon industry. the program follow: “Cencervation” than ‘conservation,’ but there is no better word if you define it rightly. Real conservation of a natural m-i source means to make the best and greatest use of it than you can with- out unduly risking the future sup-/ oly. In the case of fish, the best use | may be for sport fishing, it may be' for salting, it may be for cannj:u— it all depends upon the parucnlarw “ondiions. I like sport fishing, but | it happens that only Spring Snlmon‘ ind Silver Salmon will take the hook. | These two varieties constitute less, than 10 percent of the salmon pfiekAI As a sportsman, therefore, I have | 10 sp~eial interest in Sockeyes, Pinks | or Chums which constitute more | fust won't bite‘on a hook. ! “Differing from most fish, the salmon spawns only once in its life-' time. Tt is hatched in a lake or stream, goes out to sea, and in a! certain number of years returns to the stream of its birth, spawns and dies. Take Pink Salmon for instance, vhich return to spawn and die ln their second year. The fish hatched in 1935 will return in 1937. It makes' no difference, therefore, in 1937 how many Pink Salmon were hatched in 193¢ or 1936. So you can see it is, necessary to have a proper number of salmon spawn every single year ! in order to be sure that you will have ' a supply in every future year. Apd there is no economy at all in allowing | foo many fish to get to the spawn- | ng grounds. The fish dies after,it’ “pawns. It is utterly worthless at: that time. To allow more fish to go up, spawn and die than is necessary r reproduction is just a wasteful, loss of that many fish. Regulations “Let me illustrate. The fishermen + British Columbia, Alaska and Washington fished the halibut banks 0 hard that it looked as if the sup- oly would simply be wiped out. Fin- ally the governments of Canada and *he United States appointed a joint commission with power to regulate fishing. What has happened? Under the regulations of this commission the supply has already been very| substantially restored. “In Alaska the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries for many years has had power to regulate the salmon ndustry. All forms of gear, fish t.raps.l purse seines, gill nets, drag seines,' are allowed in such places as in the Jjudgment of this department aré’ be- lieved to be in the best public inter- est, and in 1934 Alaska had the latg- | est salmon pack in its entire history. Investment “The investment in salmon can- neries in Alaska and Washington is probably more than seventy-five mil- lion dollars, And did you ever think of the difficulties which confront the men who are responsible for this investment. One of the well-known varieties of salmon is the Alaska Red. This fish is caught prlnclpal- ly in Bristol Bay, an arm of Beflng Sea. Only a handful of people'live in this vast area, but large and permanent buildings filled with ex- pensive machinery must be erected and maintained the year around. Men must be brought from thousands of miles away for the short summer. Under the regulations of the De- partment of Commerce, the entire 21 days. Think of it—the entire huge catch of Bristol Bay red salmon made in 21 days, and all of these; fish canned in 'less than 24 hours from the time they leave the water. Yet this industry with all its hazards is the backbone of Alaska's prosper- ity, paying as it does about 80 per- 'ent of the entire taxes raised by the Territory. Problems “In the State of Washington the Industry is confronted with still oth- er problems: pollution of the watars by mills and pulp plants, the killing of small fish fry in irrigation ditch- es, dams that are being built in river after river preven<ag the fish from reaching their spawning grounds. is before the people of this spate for their consideration the prospect of another treaty with Canada to re~ IN BROADCAST| " ":: wellknown to many Alaskans, gave | Excerpts from Mr. Allen’s part of | “Perhaps no word gets more abuse | than 90 percent of the pack and| | Dazly Crossword Puzzle wb-m“, fim Al l //nll%%%fllnm« PETTT Pl P 1P ll “ lll . // IIII . lfll..%//i‘lllfll.
