At winchester it is quite COM

the High Street there flow several
streams. which ultimately discharge
into the River Itchen--a noted trout
stream. These streams receive the
storm and surface water from the
street by means of the ordinary
street grating. The line is dropped

 We have just passed thru Wran- gell Narrows, the most difficult place to navigate on the trip. One or two masts of sunken vessels could be seen sticking out of the water. At the most narrow point the water is only ten feet deep and the channel 30 feet wide at low tide. It is -possi- ble for boats to go thru only at high tide.
 Nearly all the mountains are snow capped. The snow comes down to within 300 or 500 feet of sea level. There is not a cloud in the sky, and the scenery is becoming more and more wonderful all the time.

 July 20, 1925.
 We are still gliding smoothly north ward over the clear blue waters of the inland passage. Last night we experienced our first beautiful north ern sunset A few clouds hung i'll the western horizon, and the sun shining thru made a golden path way upon which there was only a slight ripple. The heavily wooded hills, which came down to the wat CTS edge within a half mile on either side of the ship seemed to be magni- fled, as the atmosphere was so clear. We were awed by the bigness of all the mountains. Those in the dis tance were a blue, with the raVines and deep crevices a beautiful pink all mingled together to make one of the prettiest pictures I have ever seen. Looking out upon the scene, one could not help but wish that all his friends could witness the same sight. Words are so commonplace when it comes to attempt to describe the scenery that is all about us and constantly changing.

 Ketchikan, where we stopped for several hours yesterday afternoon, is the largest city in Alaska There are about 5000 people there now, counting the Indians, but we were told the population thins down to about 5000 regular residents during the winter.
 It is a pretty village, located on the side of the mountain, with beautl- full stream of clear cold water flow ing right thru the town. The stew ard and I went fishing, and brought in 36 very good trout, fishing from peoples backwards.
 In Alaska no fishing license is re- quired. Trout are looked upon as a pest and the more you catch the bet ter the natives like it. They claim trout eat the salmon eggs that are laid in the streams.
 Salmon Start Running.
 Fishing and a little numbering are the principal industries here. Salmon have only started to run. The run is late this year, but a big one is ex-- pected at most any time. They seem to know at Ketchikan that there will be no run of red salmon this year This variety makes run only every seven years, and the big run of the more valuable fish will be made next year.
