PORT ALEXANDER BE SET OUT OF. FOREST RESERVE
Recommended that Fishing Community Be Eliminated
 from Tongass Forest

The elimination of Port Alex. ander at the entrance to Chatham Straits, on Baranof Island, from the Tongass National Forest, has been recommended by the Secre- tary of Agriculture to the Secre- tary of the Interior, on favorable advice submitted by the local of flee of the U. S. Forest Service, it was announced today by M. l.. Merritt, district forester. There is not the least doubt but that the recommendation will be ap. proved by Secretary of the In terior Work, it was said.
 This action has been taken for the reason that it is believed the Port Alexander settlement has de- veloped to the point where it has become an established communi- ty. It is the policy of the Forest Service, MT. Merritt pointed out, in such instances to release a community from the Forest re- serve, when it is converted to the Public Domains. Under the latter control, inhabitants are enabled to secure titles to land and de- velopment of locality is induced.
 Port Alexander is one of the largest fishing centers in South eastern Alaska. According to re- ports made to the Forest Service between 300 and 700 fishing yes sels use the Port as base six months of the year. Inhabitants of the place estimate that during normal fishing year. in excess of five million pounds of king and cohoe salmon are taken.
 The summer population of Port Alexander is said to be from 1000 to 1.200 persons.
 The Standard oil Company and the Union Oil Company have large stations in the Port and it is understood the General Petrol cum Corporation will construct and operate a station next year.
 Three floating fish salteries are operated each fishing season.
 There is church in the settle. ment and six general stores. six restaurants, three bakeries, one meat shop, two barber shops F three pool rooms and numaroue residences.

Haho said. last Wednesday evening, when the engine stopped and the boat drifted ashore. An anchor was dropped and the men on the boat made their way ashore.
 Later, Peter Sumdum, Admir- alty Island trapper, reached the scene in his boat and attempted to tow the boat into deep water. Two large waves were too much for the rescuer's boat and she was capsized and sunk, and the other boat was soon forced against the rocks and sank short ly after. The boat which went on the rocks Wednesday was a 26-foot trolling boat, owned by Moure and Redemill who came in on the America First. Capt. Haho said.

ICE FILLS VALDEZ
 BAY; AID IS ASKED

A request for the U. s. Coast Guard Cutter Unalga to be sent north to break up the slush ice, which it is said entirely fills Val dez Bay. and shas crippled all movements of small water craft there, has been received by Gov ernor George A. Parks from A. J. Dimond, prominent attorney and mayor of Valdez. MT. Dimonfl states that steamships coming into the bay break the ice in their course for a short time but that the recent rain and snow followed by sudden cold weather, has caused ice of such thickness to form that smaller vessels can. not break through it.
 The Unalga is now in Seattle undergoing annual repairs and there is not a large vessel cap able of undertaking such an en- deavor available. Governor Parks said. It is expected with the pres ent mild weather the condition will right itself.
