News of the new arrangement was brought back to Juneau by Acting Alaska Agent Clarence Olson of the Bureau of Fisheries who visited Haines over the week-end on the patrol véssel Brant. No More Sockeyes In former years the Post has fed its 50 sled dogs with some 15,000 sockeye salmon caught by nets in Chilkoot Laké. The practice, while permissable under the law, led to the voicing of vociferous’ protests by fishermen of the district. The hump- ies are better for dogfood than the sockeyes, which are valuable food fish. If additional fish are needed to fill out the dogs’ bill of far¢, which was recently supplemented by the importation of prepared food from the States, chum salmon will be | netted. Celonel Helpful The new arrangement was worked out with Lieut. Col. Gregory Hois- ington, in command at the Bar- racks. Agent Olson reported the Colonel aijxious to cooperate in cerrecting the practice which was taking large quantities of choice red salmon frem the Chilkoot Lake spawning grounds.
