FISH RUN SLACK
 ID WESTWARD

A noticeable decrease in the run of sockeyes to the westward Is re- around Yakutat Bay that the can least Been a decreaSe of 20 percent with the sockeyes, but humpies are beginning to run and fishing men hope to make up the differences by getting a record run with the hum pies. So heavy is the humpie run that boats enough cannot be char tered to properly handle the run.
 Facilities are so 'cramped in and around Yautat Cay that the can nerles in, Petersburg are shipping the fish on ice to tho south amdcan- ming them there. A prosperous wave has struck this section of the country and fishing Is taking the lead with new establishments and modern facilities for the proper care of an average run but when the run is heavy me industries are not prepared to handle it..
