There was no quarrel over last week's closing, | but mnow you have gone far enough.’ | Opening Reguested “Method of nandling closure is | unjust and unfair, not only to us but to your own organization and to the Territory,” said Guy Gra- ham, Libby, McNeill and Libby. “I think this closure should be re- scinded now I make this a re- quest “Wrangell is 100 percent depend-| ent upon fish,” Thor Hofstad said, “and further closure would mean that some of us would have to live cn clams this winter.” Drastic Action Necessary i “It was my impression that ev- evyone in our service and the industry was concerned with the!p A, critical ' condition we are facing Seton Thompson, Chief of Branch of Alaska Fisheries, said. “The 1948 outlock is as weak as any preceding season., Something drastic must. be done. Runs are smaller and progressively later.” Thompson said that F&W regu- lations were based on impersonal statistics and observations oi men | in the field which paralieled the statistics. Nick Bez, = Peril Straits Columbia River Packers Associa- tion, said that indications in Icy Straits are that the pack will be better than two years ago, urged that the closure be rescinded and the closing date be September 7 instead of September 3; suggested that it that doesn't work that the | fishing be closed for two, three or five years if necessary to build up Ppack. i Fred Gunderson, Independent/ Cannery, Ketchikan, and an inde- pendent trap owner, gave figures on his trap in the northern sec- tion of Clarence Straits which had ; more fish in 1948 for week ending August 14 than in '46 or '44, and| asked that the order be rescinded and that fishing extend to Septem- ber 7. Night Meeting Meeting in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room, at 9:30 Saturday night, eries was by threshed over again operatcrs and F&W Service mem- bers. 5 Both Directors Day and Thomp- son declared that the industry must ! put its own house in order; should assume some responsibility tow- \ard management of this resource. Argument during the night s as to whether “Scptember 3 or September 7 shouid close the season. Adamant as to the September 3 closing, the F&W executives agreed to a meeting on September 2 be- tween the industry and fisheries service to consider at that time an extension to a later date, on the outlook at that time. Speaking from long experience, August Buschmann, Alaska Pacific Salmon Company, said that in his 56 years in the cannery business in Alaska, he had seen the fish practically disappear, “but they al- ways came back.” Fred Gunderson, long associated with the fisheries, recalled the low catch of 1927 when “we were ready to sell the Territory to the highest bidder.” Then the 1938 season* when there vas an 8,000,000 case pack. Lew Williams, secretary of Alaska, declared he represented Point Bar- row as well as Wrangell and asked “how the F&W figured out a deal to close North® Clarence and Sum- ner Strait and not all of SE Alaska.” At the close of the night session, ‘Director Day issued the regulatory announcement that provided . for a reopening of fishing today. Reopening brought a warning from Seton Thompson that any excessive viclation of fishing regu- lations will close for the season the area in which the violation occurs; that the next closure will be final. Thompson said there would be no further change in reg- ulations without a conference with the industry. Statistics Requested Thompson said further that co- operation was necessary .on the part of the industry in furnishing more statistical information.

In Juneau this week he announced the first season's operation of the Aleutian Cold Storage Company At Sand Point, Shumagin Islands. Wil- liam Semar is President and Man- ager of the company and Busch- Vice-President and a Di- rector. The new plant has a capacity of 4000000 pounds of frozen fish and 'a daily freezing capacity of about 100,000 pounds. Up to the present time the new plant has frozen about 2,000,000 pounds of halibut and half a mil- lion pounds of salmon and black cod. There are good black cod banks in the area and with halibut and salmon seasons closed, the plant is now working cod and it is planned to freeze fall salmon when fall fish- ing opens after September 6. As a contribution to Alaskan in-| dustry, the plant at Sand Point de- serves note in that it will operate six or eight months of the year, af-' ford longer employment and develop a good market for fish for a longer ! period than is usual in the Aleutian iarea, Mr. Buschmann said. It was in 1893 that August Busch- mann built the location shack for his father’s cannery, staking a trade and manufacturing. site where che PAF cannery is now located at Pet- | ersburg. Petersburg, as anyone familiar with his history knows, was named for Peter Buschmann who chose the locatlpn as ideal for a fishing center.
