KING SALMON
 PRICE RAISED
Food Administrator, After Hearing Complaints of Fishermen, Ad-
 vances Price

Tho controversy between the fish ormcn and Che Food Administration
 was settled satisfactorily the early part of Che week, and after losing several days time in discussing th, matter and sending delegates to con. fer with the authorities, etc., thC fishermen have gone back to their boats and settled down to tho sea- sons work.
 Federal Food Administrator Royal A. Gunnison announced a price of nine cents per pound for rcd king salmon and five cents per pound for whites Co prevail in Southeastern Alaska this season. The announce ment was made, after authority had been received from Washington to make tho change, at a conference held between Mir. Gunnison and a number of Taku river and Sukiue river hshermen This is am advance Over the recently made prices of two cents for red kings and one and one half cents for whites. Mir. Guunison announced at the same time that other fish prices as heretofore an- nounccd will remain without any changes These prices are for round fish on Che fishing grounds.
 Talu fishermen said they were satisfied with the new prices.
 Mir. Guunison stated SO tho fisher men that it was not Che intention of Che government to interfere with the regular customs of delivery preparation for market and cleaning Of fresh fish and that the prices would apply to both cannerics and fresh Ash buyers.
 Mir. Guunison called the attention of tho fishermen to tho fact that it has bccn reported that a number have refused Co sell Co fresh fish buyers. and said that is was impcra- tive that Che fresh fish buyers re- ccive their share of the business, the same as formerly
 Mir Gunnison said that any or ranizcd attempt to interfere with the supply of fish would result iu some one having Co explain several matters to the government, and that thc fishermen of Alaska are as much a part Of tho machinery for winning thc present war as are the soldiers on thc firing line.
 A delegation of fishermen and buyers from Wrungcl arrived from thcrc Monday and conferred with Mir. Gunnison. They presented a scale of prices that they considered fair for stl,uc river fish. which they say run much larger in size than those Of other streams
 Prices asked for by them were nine cents per pound on thc ground and one cent for delivery; white kings five cents on the ground and one cent for delivery Private gear 60 cents for sockcycs, 5O cents for echoes, seven cents for humpics and 12 cents for dogs" by thc fish.

London, May 25.-Hindenburgs
most useful ally, the weather, has
deserted him. Rains driven down
by strong winds are converting
the Flanders battlefield once more
into one vast morass. As a con-
sequence the last twcnty-four

recorded during the last two
weeks.

rious sectors proved abortive and
costly.

During the day the German ar
tilIery warmed up somewhat In the
sector OF Villers-Bretonneux, nine
miles east Of Amiens. Last night
they had shown more than average
activity in Flanders. But since this
