FISHERMEN ALLEGES | PLY TRADE ILLEGALLY AUTHORITIES HELPLESS How to prosecute naer 45 fishermen who are engaged in herring fishing in the Afognak forest and fish cultur al reserve in defiance of the third ju« dicial district, was revealed by Assis tant U. S. Attorney W. H. Hodge at Cordova, before whose attention the matter was brought while on his re cent official sojourn in the Westward. The Bureau of Fisheries agent at Ko diak has threatened t prasecute half a hundred fishermen, but they merely gh on fishing, disregarding the warn ings. Obviously they have been ad vised on good legal authority of the agent’s powerlessness to prosecute them. Serve FRYE'S BABY BEEF and be assured your guests will enjoy it It seems that although President Benjamin Harrison as early as 1892 set aside by proclamation the areas in question for forest and fish cultur al reserve purposes, still the procla- j mation carries no provision for enforc- j ing its declarations and no law can be found under which violators can be prosecuted. Since the fishing waters, extending , abot one mile around Afonak island, are included within the forest, re-; serves and so protected by Depart-: ment of Agriculture regulations, the 1 Department of Commerce regulations j have omitted that the area specifically from the jurisdiction of the Bureau of j Fisheries. The Department of Agri culture regulations in reference to game fishing hold good only for fish | ing on the forest lands and have no | power over waters immediately sur j rounding the island reserves, i Thus the fishermen keep right on j fishing in flagrant defiance of the j Fresh strawberry and va nila Seattle ice cream at Schallerer’s Alaska Shop.

OLDTim STILL PRNS FDR GOLD ON BEACH “Whisker” Rill is the same merry old soul as of old and is still as active when weather permits as in the days of yore, panning for gold on the beach at Sand Point. Bill has been panning the beach for 20 years and is said to be making a fair living at it. He is one of the oldest of oldtimers to the Westward, but is still following the rainbow trail with all the eagerness of a youth, confident that one of these days he will uncover another famous beach digging similar to the famous Nome strike. In 1903-4 fully a hundred men, min ers all, cavorted up • and down the beach panning and rocking the gra vels, rich in free gold, rotten quartz. It is estimated many thousands of dol lars were uncovered from the beaches around Sand Point and though it is claimed the workings have petered out, “Whisker” Bill is still on the job. w. A. C.
