SPAWNING BEDS THIS DISTRICT
 WELL SUPPLIED
Investigation Shows Good Escapemcnt Took Place
 North 58th Parallel

North of the 57th parallel Of north latitude in Southeastern Al askan areas there has been an oscapement of salmon sufficient for a good seeding of the spawn. ing beds, but conditions south of that line. as far as the latter dis trict has been covered by investi- gators. are not so favorable, t was stated today by Dennis Vim. Alaska Agent for the Bureau of Fisheries.
 The areas lying south of the 57th parallel have not all been covered, MT. Vim said. Several wardens are now in the field mak. ing examinations of the spawning streams.
 Mir. Vim returned last night from a several days trip 10 Lynn Canal points The conditions al Chilkat river, the most important spawning district in that area, afa good, he said. The red salmon arc still ascending the river to the lakes and there was good es- exponent of the cheaper species of fish.
 The reports of investigators covering the northern part of the district are all in accord to the effect that the escapement of fish was large enough to furnish fut- ure runs commensurate with the requirements of that section. A. final recheck on this district IS now in progress. Capt. M. J. O. Connor left today on the Wid- geon for this purpose. It is ex- pected it will take a week or ten days to complete 1t.
 MT. Vim will leave here in a day or two to aid in this work, being in the field most of the next ten days, after which he wi.l leave for Seattle.
 Warden Harry A. Pryde, who returned Sunday after spending the season at Yakutat. reported a good seeding of the spawning beds in virtually all sections of the Yakutat area. The cannery there put up approximately SS,000 cases of fish, experiencing one of the best years in recent history.
 The runs and escapement soutl of the 57th parallel. MT. Vim said. have been spotted Reports up to date show some streams with fair escapement but large number were seeded inadequatels. A complete report on these dis tricts will not be available Tor several days.
