 Eight views were decided upon one of them a strikingly good pie turo of Petersburg, and the other seven of scenes on both sides of the Narrows and of the Narrows itself in it's entire length, as we'll as other scenic views near here. These are to be on sale by the Commercial Club at some place to be decided upon later. A good price was se- cured so that the people of Peters, burg will undoubtedly make it ne- cessary for the Club to order more. It is thought that the Club will be able to sell the pictures for the nominal price of twenty-five cents each.
 About twenty-two members were present and a canvas of these re- suited in an order of over two hun dred pictures for personal use many taking a set or two sets, of eight each, besides each member taking extra copies of the view of Petersburg.

Hoover Reports 'Amazing Increase" Salmon

Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover recently announced that the results shown, especially in view of the Governments conservation pro- gram, were amazing"
 The report in part Is as follows:
 "The tentative estimate is $500, OOG, as against 4,459,937 cases for the entire urevious season. When final figures for the fall pack this year become available, it seems pro- bable that the total Alaska pack in 1926 will be about 46 percent larger than that of last year and will be exceeded only slightly by the pack of 1918, when 6,605,S35 cases were put up and which was the lar gest in the history of Alaska salmon industry.
 A COup upe1i lSOu O1 pdSho Uy oPO- cies follows giving the sum total as heer indicated.
 "The foregoing shows the strik- ing increase in the packs of pinks and reds each of which totals over 100000 cases more than in 1925. Most of the increase in pinks occurs in central Alaska, although south east Alaska shows a yer ysubstan- tial gain. All three general dis tricts show an increase in reds. but the chief expansion this year was in western Alaska, wheer the pack of reds was approximately 1,36O,000 cases in 1926 as against 554,250 in 1925; central Alaska, 2,069,000, as against 1,052,593 in 1925; and Alaska shows a total of 2,82S,O00 cases, as compared with 2,802,414 in 1925.
 The notable increase in the pack even to August 25 of this year, is in the face of further restrictions upon fishoing by the departments regu- lstions, which have been deemed ne- cessary for conservation purposes in certain places. It indicates the eff fectiveness of such regulations, the broadening in scope of which has been possible under the new Alaska fisheries act of June 6,1924.
 The results of these regulations are shown in the increased pack of pink salmon in 1926, for this spe- cies natures in two years, and the fish returning in 1926 are the pro- geny of the breeding hump back sal mon that escaped in 1924, the first year the new regulations went into effect AS a matter of fact, the pack of pink in 1926 is much lar ger than that of any previous year in the history of of Alaska, the lar gest previous pack being about 2, 60G.OO0 cases.
 The foregoing figures for 1926, particularly in respect to cohos and chums, will show increases when final returns are available"
