CLOSING DO W N bER|NC SEA
 CANNER|ES
(By Associated Press)

SEATTLE. Aug. 23. - The Boring sea salmon pack is reported extremely poor. One large company has closed its canneries and brought back its men five weeks earlier than usual. there being no fish in their usual run ways. This company in it's Bering sea put up only one-fourth its last years pack. The Boring sea sea son opened unfortunately with the loss of three sailing ships loaded with can nery supplies and crews. There was no loss of life, but vessels and car goes were a total loss.
 Western and southwestern Alaska are reported producing 10 per cent of a full pack. Southeastern Alaska has more fish than the canneries can take care of.
 | Up to August 5, the sockeye salmon run on Puget Sound. the quadrennial big run, had been disappointing, but canners say there is plenty of time yet for the fish.

WATER NEEDED J RECLAMAT|O
 PROJECT
(By Associated Press)

SANTA FEE, N. NJ. Aug. 23. - Suit recently was filed in the federal dis trict court here by federal officers acting for the reclamation service, seeking to restrain residents of the lower Pecos valley. in southeastern New Mexico, from diverting water from the Pecos river. Action was taken because, it is alleged the water was needed for the Carlsbad reclama' tion project.
 The project. it is said, requires 500 second feet of water to maintain its reservoirs at normally height. Now it is asserted. continued drought has reduced the flow of the Pecos to about one-tenth of this amount. all of which the reclamation officers seek to SC cure for the project.
 The action affects only three citi 2ens adversely.
