 Leaving Anchorage yesterday morn ing the special train proceeded leas- urely toward this city, the coast terminus of the Alaska Railroad A short distance out of Anchorage the train came to a halt providing the party with an opportunity to watch the salmon run. The sight of the thousands of swimming salmon, was sight for them to marvel at and one which they will long recall.

APOLLO MINE AT UNGA WILL NOT
 RESUME WORK
A. kOMEDAL RELATES FACTS ON CONDITIONS TO WESTWARD
 BUSINESS EXCELLENT
MANY TONS OF CODFISH
Light Touch of Flu Visits District But No Deaths Result from It.
 KomedaI and old-Timer

Business at Unga is in healthy condition and the codfish industry, which is the backbone of the country, has been good this year, stated A. Komedal, better known as the ''cod- fish king" who arrived in Seward re- gently from the westward and who was southbound passenger on the steamer Northwestern last Tuesday. MT. Komedal has been engaged in the fishing and mercantile business at Unga for over 20 years, owning two canneries and a large store, and is authority on general conditions thru out that outlying Alaskan region.
 Many Tons Goldfish
 Thus far this season the output of codfish from the Unga district is ap- proximately 5000 tons, MT. Komedal stated. Practically all of this is ship ped to Seattle in bulk, excepting the fish shipped to the Seattle brokers. The Seattle firms require the fish to be shipped ill gunny sacks in order that the fish may be protected from dust. Eastern markets consume the greater part of this pack. The Scan- dinavian race in the United States appears to be the greatest eaters of codfish, it is stated, but the United States citizens are rapidly forming liking for it, eating more of it each year.
 Mine Still Closed The Apollo quartz mine, which was opened in the eighties and which con- tinued to operate until 1915, owing to the ore chimney being worked out, is still idle. A company was formed to I work over the tailings but nothing has as yet been done The huge buildings and machinery are still in good condi- tion and if another ore body could be picked up activities could be resumed within a few weeks. This mine pro- duced over $5,OOO,OOO during the time it was operated, and was known from the Pacific coast to London. Further development work may pick up other ore bodies and in case this is done, work can be resumed.
 No Deaths in Region
 The flu epidemic which seemed to have spread over most of the west ward districts, touched but lightly the Unga country, although slight touches of the malady was felt by few citi- zens. Every spring the region seems to be visited by an epidemic of slight colds but this spring it was a little worse than usual. No deaths have oc- Icurred at Unga from influenza. MT. I Komedal declared the doctor from the coast guard cutter Unalga, has ren- dered much valuable medical attention to the citizens at Unga, particularly to the children, many of whom had their tonsils removed. The population of Unga is placed at about 300.
 Returning in April
 Mrs. KOmedal, who resided at Unga for IT years, but who now makes her home at Seabold, Wash, intended to visit her old home this year, but put off the visit to next year. MT. and Mrs Komedal expect to return to Sew ard en route to the westward next April.

ANOTHER TUMBLE
IN WHEAT TODAY
Rains in Two States and Re-
ports on Exports Make
Prices Weak.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 14.-Wheat prices
underwent an early setback today, in
fluenced by rains in Illinois and In
diana and by a material enlargement
of the amount of wheat afioat for
Europe. On the other hand, adVtces
today from Liverpool said there was
no danger of a national miller's strike
and that a strike by Welsh flour mill
employees had been settled. Indica-
tions of new export business tended
also to bring about rallies, which,
however, failed to last. The opening,
which ranged from II to l y lower,
with May 1.55 to 1861 and July
1.4014 to 1.41h, was followed by an
irregular decline to 1884, May, and
1.3912 July.
Corn and oats were depressed by
selling on the part of holders of corn
who were unable or unwilling to con-
tinue ownership. After opening at
IL to 31s decline, May 1.05& to 1.O7,
the corn market fiuctuated nerYously

TRADING IN MARKET
OVER WIDE RANGE
Moderate Advances in Many
lSSueS-PubliC Doing
Very Little Buying.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE char
acter of the stock market today was
unchanged from the preceding day in
that dealings continued almost entire
ly professional. Public interest was
virtually at a standstill, and any at
temDts to attract an outside following
were of little avail A number of spe-
Cial moves and a few of the rails were
the chief points of interest. But even
these provided nothing sensational.
Further Merger Talk.
There was nothing new in the dis
cussion of another railway merger
in the Southwest, to include Missouri
Kansas-Texas, Missouri Pacific and
Kansas City Southern. This has been
talked of for months. Still the pub
licity given in the morning papers
to the matter made it appear like
news, and there was n sharp advance
in all the stocks concerned. Missouri
Pacific common and preferred were
both up over point Missouri Kan
sas-TeXas over . points and Kansas
City Southern still more. AS has
often been pointed out, Kansas City
Southern does not figure out at pres
ent selling prices on the basis of
earnings. 1t must depend upon the
advantages which would presumably
accrue under consolidation.
Rail Advance Spreads.
The rise in the Southwestern rails
spread to the other Southern stocks.
The Seaboard Air Lines were heavily
bought at the best prices seen in
some time. They were making a be-
lated response to the recent advance
in the company's bonds. In both in
stances the incentive was the pre-
diction that the March earnings re-
port would make the best showing on
record Southern Railway common
was also a good deal more active than
It has been lately and this at advanc-
Ing prices. Texas and Pacific was
included in the buying movement.
Hudson Leads Motors.
In the motor group Hudson was
again the leader, with rise into new
high ground above 4S The syndicate
was evidently having to take lot
of stock in the new Dodge preferred
in order to support it at the issue
price of par. General Motors sudden
ly became more active at a rise of a
point or more, and Dupont as usual,
moved along with it. Mack Trucks
sold above 140 again.
American Woolen was up over
points from its recent low. The
margin of profit for the wooden manu-
ldCluI CTS Is uIildDly DSlleE JLiI

Break in COngoleum.
Industrial Alcohol was bid up be-
cause of the belief that having earn
ed over S11 a share in both 1923 and
1924 the resumption of dividends can
not be far off.
Congoleum broke sharply under
heavy selling. The only reason sug-
geSted was that of an unsuccessful
pool operation.
American Linseed preferred is be-
ing thought of again as a per cent
dividend payer and is acting accord
ingly. Consolidated Gas above rs was
the feature of the public utilities. In
ternational Telephone and Telegraph
responded to the report for the first
quarter showing earnings at the rate
of over S12 a share.
