FUNERAL MRS. MULLER
 IS LARGELY ATTENDED

The funeral of the late Mrs. John Muller took place this afternoon, services being conducted at St. Jo- seph's Catholic church at ? o'clock. Hundreds of sorrowing friends of the deceased attended the services and there was also a general sus- pension of business in town this afternoon out of respect to the mem ory of one of Cordova's most beloved and popular young ladies. There was a profuson of floral offerings and a large number of people ac- companied the remains to their final resting place. The pail bearer were Messrs. F. V. Boyle, II. | O'Neill, I. D. BOgart, J. B. Ferrel, Jr., C. F. Mellison and Fred Long. of the Bene- volent and Protective Order of Elks, the members of which organization attended the funeral in a body.

especially in the clear water arm district of the lake.
 There is condition that may have escaped the notice of cannery- men, and those who have studied the movements of salmon in Alas ka. and this Is the cross fertilization of the different specie of salmon. This is possible especially during a late run of spawning fish. by an overlapping of the breeding period of the different specie of salmon, using the same stream for natural propagation. It is of quite common occ urrence to get hold of salmon that cannot be classified and even experts do not seem to know what they are.

HATCHERY ON EYAK LAKE IS
 BIG SUCCESS

The territorial hatchery at the head of Eyak lake constitutes the only enterprise looking to the con servation and rehabilitation of the fishing industry in this part of Alaska. Much credit for it's estab- lishment is due to our townsman, A. J. Adams, a member of the Alaska fish commission and Superintendent A. J. Sprague, who is working under his direction. For temporary quar- ters three shacks. 12 X l6 feet, have been constructed.
 The active work of construction and propagation at Eyak lake began May 30 when a site for hatchery was selected on the north arm, sheltered from the severe winds and heavy storms, from the Power river canyon. This site is located on the natural spawning ground of the red or soCkeye salmon and offers an op- portunity for the construction of q chain of natural rearing and breeding grounds uneQualled by any site in Alaska for this specie of salmon.
 Water rights were surveyed and posted June ,, 6 and and the same recorded on June for fish culture and power purpose on three mountain streams, and defined as Adams, Sprague and Stcffgen creeks. On June IS the pipe line was com plcted for the temporary use of trOughs for portion of the red sal delay experienced in securing the pipes, lumber and other equipment the spawning season did not begin until July l, and up to the pres. ent time approximately 5000, ,O00 eggs have been secured Part of this amount was fertilized and buried in the sand and gravel principally on account of the lack of baskets, troughs, etc, as it Is not advisable to do this at that time.
 The spawning area of streams and tributaries are approximately five miles, including the sloughs while the subterrahean springs of. fering spawning beds are very ex. tensive along the shores of the lake,
