Control of Fisheries Beyond Three Miles
Our Pacific Northwest has attained worldwide recognition from the fact that here a successful system was initiated by two independent nations for the conservation of a deep sea fishery. Now it appears probable that the threatened disruption of this system may in turn give birth to new conceptions of international law. Strictly legal phases of this situation are so interwoven with the economic and the diplomatic that a factual as well as a legal background is essential to their complete appreciation
President\u27s Address
This address should not be compared with the masterpieces of diction and erudition which have preceded it, but should rather be considered in the prosaic nature of a report. Attention is called to the fact that between annual meetings your affairs are conducted by a president, a secretary, and an executive committee consisting.of these officers and five vice-presidents representing the five congressional districts into which the state is divided, also an executive secretary, besides various committees

Letter from Edward W. Allen to John Muir, 1913 Sep 10.
HEWEN & ALLENATTORNEYS AT LAWOFFICE OFPROSECUTING ATTORNEYOF PACIFIC COUNTYH. W. B. HEWEN,PROSECUTING ATTORNEYEDWARD W. ALLEN. DEPUTYSouth Bend, Wash. Sept. 10, 1913.Mr. John Muir, President of Society for thePreservation of National Parks,402 Mills Building,San Francisco, Cal.Dear Sir:Inclosed herewith are copies of two letters written in regard to Hetch Hetchy, also my check for $2.00 to add a little toward the cause.Not long ago the Mountaineer Club had a fight on its hands to preserve the Mt. Olympus National Monument; so far we have been successful. We hope, however, to have the monument changed to a national park and thus secured forever.EWA/HInc.Yours truly,[illegible]05534 Sept., 10, Hon. Miles Poindexter, Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C. Dear sir:My attention has been called to the attempt to destroy the magnificent Hetch Hetchy Valley of the Yosemite National Park for a San Francisco water tank. Information received leads me to believe that highly disreputable methods have been used in order to misrepresent the situation to Congress, not by the people of san Francisco but by commercial politicians of that city. As you are intimately aware, we have been called upon in this state to meet similar sinister designs, and shall, probably have another fight in the near future to save our own Mount Olympur National Monument and have the same properly changed to a national park. If you can conscientiously oppose this Hetch Hetchy scheme, it will be appreciated by the intelligent people of the Pacific Const. EWA/HYours respectfully, 05534 Sept. 10, 3.Hon. Wesley L. Jones, Senate Chamber,Washington, D. C.Dear Sir: The Pacific Coast is particularly interested, both from a patriotic and financial stand point, in the preservation and development of the national parks of this region. We earnestly protest against the shortsighted attempt to destroy any of the wonderful scenery of the Yosemite National Park, and urge you to oppose any bill which will permit San Francisco to use Hetch Hetchy as a municipal water tank. EWA/HYours respectfully. 0553
STARLINK: IMPACTS ON THE U.S. CORN MARKET AND WORLD TRADE
StarLink disrupted the U.S. corn market during the marketing year of 2000/01 as a result of inadvertent commingling. The potential volume of marketed StarLink-commingled corn from the 2000 crop located in areas near wet and dry millers prior to October 1, 2000, is estimated at 124 million bushels. Price differentials between StarLink-free and StarLink-commingled corn existed during the early stage of the incident, but eroded quickly. While StarLink has had a negative impact on U.S. corn exports, most of the reduction in exports to Japan and South Korea during November 2000 and March 2002 is due to Japan's increased purchases from South Africa, China's decision to continue to subsidize exports, increased competition from the large back-to-back crops in Argentina, and a record Brazilian crop.Crop Production/Industries, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,
Legal Limits of Coastal Fishery Protection
Lawyers of the Pacific Coast and all lawyers dealing with international law will be interested in President Truman\u27s proclamation of September 28th, wherein he sets forth a constructive policy for the control and conservation of the coastal fisheries of this and other nations. Thus is brought to consummation a campaign originating on this coast some ten years ago to demand that our government review the subject of ocean fisheries and adopt an affirmative policy consistent with existing facts and a rational interpretation of international law
An Optimal Control Framework to Address the Relationship between Water Resource Management and Water-Borne Health Impacts: Focus on the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley
The objective of this study is develop a theoretical model that can evaluate two types of public health expenditures on water-borne health risks: water-related municipal services, an ex ante preventative measure against water-borne contamination, and medical treatment, an ex post treatment of the water-borne pollutant’s harmful effects on human health. The modeled community can allocate resources in either centralized-municipal water-services, point-of-use water-services, or medical intervention, with expenditures subject to a budget constraint. The movement of a water-borne illness through the community is modeled with a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) disease framework. An optimization framework is developed, including a statement of the problem’s Hamiltonian and first-order-conditions. The first-order-conditions are discussed. Future work includes obtaining a numerical solution to the optimization problem.water, public health, rural development, dynamic optimization, Community/Rural/Urban Development, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
A Study of Effects of Viscosity on Flow over Slender Inclined Bodies of Revolution
The observed flow field about slender inclined bodies of revolution is compared with the calculated characteristics based upon potential theory. The comparison is instructive in indicating the manner in which the effects of viscosity are manifest. Based on this and other studies, a method is developed to allow for viscous effects on the force and moment characteristics of bodies. The calculated force and moment characteristics of two bodies of high fineness ratio are shown to be in good agreement, for most engineering purposes, with experiment. (author
