Stanford University President David Starr Jordan supports the removal of traps from streams in Alaska and Washington. He notes that artificial fish propagation is difficult in the northern fisheries because of the climate. Secretary of the United Fishermen of the Pacific Edward Rosenberg will find good reasons why Wood River should be closed to fishing in a 1904 report. Jordan encloses a copy of his letter to Secretary of Commerce and Labor Oscar S. Straus about the matter.
