In leaving he also breaks his father’s heart, In the meantime, another suitor, twice the girl's age, asks for her hand.

Homer T, Bone, Democrat, of Wash- ington, has introduced a bill into the Senate authorizing President Ropse- velt to establish salmon fishery law enforcement areas within which the | fishery regulations of the United States would be enforced upon all tishing boats—foreign and domestic. | Designed to protect and preserve the Alaskan salmon runs from for- {eign “poachers,” the bill is identical w'.o one recently offered in the House | by Delegate Dimond of Alaska Both Senator Bone and Delegate Dimond intreduced like bills last }year. but opposition from the State Department prevented congression- al consideration. Important Resource Declaring that Alaskan salmon fisheries are an important resource of the United States, Bone said: “Salmon are particularly the prop- erty of this country because they are bred in the United States streams and come back to those streams o maturity to propogate. Fo the fishery interests of this have suffered because alien men have come into Alaskan w taken salmon without res‘ric tion, 1tng thing to the salmon conservation program which has been carried ou by the United States and Canada at an expense of millions of dollars. “It is a case of one man feeding the cow while the other gets the milk.” The Washingtonian declared the only way the United States can pro- tect its interest in the Northern Pac- ific waters is to “assert jurisdiction over the waters of the Alaskan coast- al shelf out to the international boundary line in the Bering Sea between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” te International Law | “I know that learned men will |come forward with declaration that it can't be done,” Bone continued, “because there is a nebulous creation called international law that deals with this subject, but this so-called international law is not now being observed among nations and the par- ticular international law relating to | | fisheries was developed long ago un- der entirely different conditions than | now exist. | _“It is much better for the United States to deal with this subject by {law than to continue to be in cons- | tant danger of friction in the Alask- ;An waters between fishermen of the United States and fireign countries, | especially the Japanese.” In conclusion, Bone said that aside | source, “the Bering Sea is of .too | great military importance to the United States to permit uneontrolled operation there of alien craft.” —r A | NOTICE From this date, Feb. 17, 1939, I will. not be responsible for any than myself. jadv.

TOM HUTCHINGS, Manager | | i Bright, Far Betfer than “One Year Ago SEATTLE, Feb, 20.—The national outlook for the canned foods indus- try is somewhat better today than it was a year ago, according to E. 0. Paup, president of the Pacific Can- ned Salmon Distributors Associa- tion who has fust returned here from a trip through middle western and southern marketing centers. Distributors supplies of wmmll\ all canned goods are plentiful, but most. of the goods now in wholesal-| ers warehouses were purchased at, prices below current costs of produc; tion, Paup reports. Distress Prices “While the present statistical posi- tion of canned salmon is better than ' that of many other canned foods, the industry has achieved this posi- tion as a result of severe sacrifices during the past year. Most pf the sal- mon which has moyed out of Pacific Coast hands fram the 1938 pa¢k has moved at distress prices which did not cover the cost of packing last season,” Paup said. “Actually the statistical position is not as fayorable as it at first appears. United States government figures showing supplies of salmon in dis- tributors hands indicate that com- pared with one year ago, wholesalers had 19 per cent more pinks on hand January 1, 1939, as on the same date in 1938, and that supplies of all var- ieties wern 414 por eent aor vear fhan last.
