of the Department of Commerce, spent a part of the summer of 1925 

 in Alaska inspecting fisheries in all districts and also visiting the 

 Pribilof Islands. The party left South Bellingham, Wash., July 1, 

 and stopped in southeastern Alaska for several days and at points 

 along the Alaska Peninsula and in Bristol Bay en route to the Pribilof 

 Islands, where July 18 and 19 were spent. Returning, the party 

 spent several days in the central Alaska district, and a further stay 

 was made in southeastern Alaska. Most of the party arrived in 

 Seattle on August 29. The Coast and Geodetic Survey rendered 

 valuable assistance by transporting the visitors through sections of 

 Alaska where commercial steamers were not available. 



Congressman Allen T. Treadway was in Alaska during the summer. 

 He visited the southeastern and central districts and also made the 

 overland trip to Fairbanks. Mr. Treadway exhibited great interest 

 in the fisheries of the territory. 



John P. Babcock, assistant to the Commissioner of Fisheries for 

 British Columbia, and also chairman of the International Fisheries 

 Commission, visited Alaska during the summer and accompanied Dr. 

 C. H. Gilbert on a trip to salmon canneries along the Alaska Penin- 

 sula and to the Pribilof Islands in July.
