RALPH HALL A CONTINUOUS
 BOOSTER FOR THE CAsSIAR
Preparations Under Way for Exten- siVe Development Work on
 Hall Creek in 1928

Ralph Hall, who has spent the past three years prospecting in the Cassiar, and who was one of the or iginal locators of Palmer and Hall creek in the Tarnigan section of that country has returned to Ketchikan where he will spend the fall.
 Mr. Hall says: '"The Cassiar is looking good, in fact every bit of work that is done in that country shows it up to better advantage. This summer on Hall creek there has been a great deal of constructive work done. On the upper end Logan has put in an automatic dam and has been sIuicing to good advantage. mining.
 "On Palmer creek Jack Hosfeldhas built good cabin together with a permanent cache and has timbers all out for dam and sluice boxes. Hos field is also planning on taking in a good outfit in the spring and will be shoveling in all summer and prob ably stay in next winter in order to get an early start the following spring 1 built good cabin on the lower end of Palmer creek and will go in early next spring, pfoDaoly over the ice, and spend the season opening up my own ground. l be lieye that another years work will demonstrate a good pay streak on both Palmer and Hall creeks, and if is well within the range of possibil- ities that one will be picked up on Flat creek.
 'It. is a wonderful country for prospecting, plenty of wood, water, game, fish and berries, and the sum- mer season is fine. plan on getting in early next year and hope to turn up something good. On some of the other creeks they are taking out good money and with the hydraulick- ing that is going on in the Dease Lake section. look for the Cassiar to again become one of the placer producing sections of the North"

LAST OF HERRING BAIT IS
 CLEANED UP AT KILD0NAE
tKetchikan #Ghronfcl9

The Ionic, a new halibut boat now in port rom Seattle on her maiden trip. and the halibuter Alaska. arriving yesterday from the south cleaned up the last herring bail at Kildonan, British Columbia and with no new bail in sight. the situation is more serious than ever.
 The Ionic brought 145 barrels for ihe Nordby Supply company. and he Alaska brought 310 barrels for the Tongass Trading company.
 For the past three weeks halihut boats from the south have been pick ing up bait at kildonan, which they apportioned to other halibut boats on reaching Ketchikan, and in thi. manner most of the local fleet has been enabled to continue fishing However. with all of the bait now gone from there. and none at any of the other coast points, unless new herring shows up in some of the bays, halibut fishing is bound to be more restricted than ever.

 "One of the finest things which has happened to Us was the exten- sion of the herring fishing season But to go back aways. on the 25th oI August there had been an approXi- mate 5000 barrels of herring packed by the entire companies During the month of September not a barre was packed. In fact it was not un- til October 15, just a few days ago, on the day the season came to a halt and the extension until November 10 was received. that the fish began to show up and within a period of two days about 5000 barrels were packed.

ED LINDMAN TELLS FEM ABOUT WRANGELL WHILE
 ON TRIP TO KETCHIKAE

It would take more than an earth quake to shake the optimism out ot Ed Lfndman. Read the following from the Ketchikan Chronicle:
 Edward Lindman, in charge O. the Wrangen Elk party which ar rived in Ketchikan for annual roll call. said that it is true that Nran- gell felt the earthquake, but that they got a worse shaking up after reaching Ketchikan by the greetings rom the local antlered herd.
 "Wrangell cannot be blamed, said Mr. Lindman, flor the severance of the United States cable. Our town is located on a solid founda- ton and it will need something more than an an earthquake to shake us up.
 All Joking aside. you may say that Wrangell was never more pros porous. A number of new homes have been built the present year and an increase has been shown ln all commercial lines.
 'TWrangell. as you know, is the gateway to the gold belt and the finest hunting grounds i'll the world, and the town naturally de riyes considerable benefit from this trade. Wrangell is going ahead eonservatiyely and steadily without fuss or feathers. and the business men there are well satisfied

0. Leet, manager of the Nran- gel lee and Cold Storage plant, one of the visiting EIks, said this morn ing that while Mrangell also was uIt by the shortage of salmon the present season, yet, on the whole @rangelI plants and fishermen had good season.
 He said the run and pack of CO., hoes was what saved the day for Wrangell. Sockeyes and humpies. on the other hand, were scarce, and the king salmon run Was not extra good i'll that vicinity.
 However" said Mr Leet, gen eral1y speaking, Wrangell business men have done well and a number of improvements have been made the present year
 Mr. Leet said that he was par tieularIy pleased at the expressions of the Ketchikan Commercial club for getting closer cooperation be- tween commercial organizations of Alaskan towns and for more close er-communieation. He says he realizes that Ketchikan itself has kept in close touch with the fish ing situation regarding measures best calculated to encourage and conserve it. and can therefore speak with authority on these mat ters.
 Mr. Leet believes that more yis- its of business men to different towns, in a get-together movement. would prove a great benefit. He believes that the visit of the 16 Wrangell citizens here to attend the Elk roll call will have the effect ot bringing Ketehikan and Wrangell much closer together on many things the future.
