 The games are being played at Anchorage where the Ketchikan Elks went about two weeks ago, and their losing the game last night makes the third game they have lost out of the three played thus far. The score for the first game was 2643 to PASS and the score for the second game was 2622 for Anchorage and 2607 for Ketchikan. A lead of 274 pins is now held by Anchorage.

SALMON TRADE SOUND;DEMAND
 UP TO SUPPLY

In the Seattle Po3t-Intelligencer of recent date, Victor H. Ellen dahl, President of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, reviews the industry, reports carryover as small and foreign sales show in crease. His review is as follows:
 The salmon pack of Alaska, Washington and oregon for the 1928 season approximatos 6,SC9,0O0 cases.
 The five-year average pack of these districts is about 6,500,0OO cases. The foreign and domestic markets normally require each year about 6,250,000 cases of sal mon to supply the demand. There fore the consumption of canned salmon is about equal to the pro duction, which should tend to ere ate stable condition for the mar keting of the annual pack.
 The Association of Pacific Fish cries issued a statement of unsold salmon stocks in first hands as Of November 30, 1928. This unsold salmon amounts to 1,39O,160 cases of all varieties and sizes as com pared with 1,23S,475 cases of all varieties and sizes exactly one year ago. This is a remarkable improvement in view of the fact the ninety reporting companies packed over 1,500,O0O cases more in 1928 than in 1927 and the carry over on July 1, 1928, was 575,000 cases.

September of this year, we export ed 160,000 cases, as against only 42,60O cases in September a year ago, according to the United States Department of Commerce statis- ties. This is very encouraging in view of increasing competition in our export markets from Canadian and Siberian packers, in both of whose districts unusually larg e packs were made in 1928.
 The future trend of the salmon market should be healthy in view Of the relatively small carry-over of some 100000 cases on Janu- ary 1, 1929, practically the same as on January 1, 1928, which amount 0,3O0,000 cases) will have

SECOND GROWTH TIMBER LANDS, l N INVESTIGATED
Study Is Now Being Made in s. E. Alaska on
 Cut-over Lands

As a result of investigations in Southeastern Alaska as to deter mining the rate at vhici cutover lands will restock thoL1-slve1, R. F. Taylor, silvieulturist now doing research work in the Forestry Service, says that such inyestiga- lions will have to be continued for a number of years before any final conclusions can be reached. However, there are ceveral inter- osting phases of these investga- tions brought forward by Mr. Tay- Tor
 "With the adven; O. the pulp in dustry ill mind" sal MT. Taylor, "tha Forest Service has been car rying on investigations in South eastern Alaska to determine the rate at which cutover lands will restock themselves, the quality of such second-growth stands and the quantity of merchantablo tim Der produced at various ages.
 'sThe prevalent type of old tim Der on the 'Tongass National For est as a whole is composed of some 70 per cent hemlock and 24 per cent spruce, with Red and Alaska cedar making up most of the remaining per cent. Hem lock. being more tolerant of shade than spruce, tends to fill in the holes in the mature forest made by falling veterans, resulting in final or climax forest type com posed largely of hemlock.
 Continue Investigations
 tIn vestigations will have to be continued for a number of years before final conclusions can be reached. but it is interesting to note that indications strongly point to a larger per cent of spruce in the new stands growing on cutover land. An average of sample plots over the entire forest show this to be 46 per cent of spruce, as compared to approximately 24 per cent in the old stands.
 Forest soil conditions in Alaska are often exceedingly bad due to an acid mat of tough, raw humus, which often persists after logging. This prevents the germination Of the spruce in many cases and causes a pure stand of the less exacting h e m ock to establish itself. Such pure hemlock stands are often exceedingly bad silvlcul- turally, causing deterioration of the soil and growth stagnation at an early age. Thus it is seen the Forest Service has two reasons for encouraging spruce in the new stand, tits slightly better qualities economically and its effect upon growth conditions. A good mix ture of spruce in the stand seems to prevent stagnation and fosters good soil conditions.
 Second Growth
 Development of these second growth S stand S in Southeastern Alaska, on the whole, compares well with the spruce belt of Wash ington Reliable figures are not available in either region as yet, but investigations to date lead us to believe that our cutover lands will regenerate to a type of tim Der of a quality to be compared very favorably with similar types in Washington and Oregon.
 "As to volume, hy all indications. we should be able to produce in a hundred years what present old stands are yielding at aged well over 300 years, and this on aver age sites. Large clear lumber will be lacking, but the volume per acre will be there"

MOVIE COWBOY
KNOWS NOTHING
OF PEACE MOVE

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. IL. W.n)--
Reports that a reconciliation had
been effected between George Giles
pie, movie cowboy and his father
inlaw, Robert J. Thorne, former
president of Montgomery Ward &
Co., were denied here today by the
actor.
Thornc was reported to have come
west with his mind made up to for
give Gillespie and his daughter for
marrying without parental consent.
"I know nothing about any recon-
citation" "Big George" said when
questioned concerning the matter
'T'm really too busy with my film
work to pay much attention to such
matters, and it is something that
Mrs. Thorne and DO not often men
ton. l don't even know the where
abouts of Mr.. Thorne"
He said he believed, however, that
his wife, the former Katherine
Thorne, had visited with her mother
in Pasadena.
Gillespie met the daughter of the
mail order millionaire in Arizona
last spring and after whirlwind
courtship the couple cloped. The
hcircss' father at first sought Giles
pies arrest on an abduction charge
but changed his mind and brought
about trial separation, at the con-
clusion of which Mrs. Thorne re-
turned to her cowboy-artist husband.

MEETING WITH
FORMER FRIEND
CAUSES ARREST

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. IL. U.P)--
An accidental meeting with his old
friend C. B. Winstead, department of
justice Investigator, brought about
the arrest here of George l.. Sulli-
van, wanted in Ell Paso, Tex, for
embezzlement of internal revenue
funds, it was learned today.
Sullivan and Winstead became ac-
quainted while the former was serv-
ing as deputy collector of revenue in
FL Paso more than five years ago.
The two met on the streets of PhOe-
nix last Monday. Reluctant to eff
feet the arrest of Sullivan himself,
but knowing it became his duty as
an officer, Winstead informed the
u. S. marshal that the Texas fugi-
tive was here.
Sullivan was taken into custody,
pleaded guilty, declared himself will
ing to be returned and will be on
his way "back home" tonight. a
slight change in plans prevented of
ficcrs from taking him back yester-
DAY to face an Indictment charging
him with embezzlement of $610.74 Of
government money.

Property Owners
Urged To Attend
Planning Meeting;

All property owners and tenants
in FL Centro's business district have
been asked by Mark Munson, prcsi
dent of. the planning and zoning
commission of FL Centre, to attend
meeting to be held at the cham
Der of commerce headquarters at
7:30, Tuesday, December II. The
object of the meeting is to discuss
plans for changing the street ar
eades of the business district to
conform to a more or less uniform
design, with the purpose of improv-
ing the appearance of the main bus
mess streets.
The chamber of commerce has
long pointed out the need of more
uniform store fronts and arcades, If
the main street of the city is to
present an attractive appearance to
the many tourists, coming through the
valley, and one of the most import
ant reasons for the organization of
a planning and zoning commission,
in the mind of chamber directors,
was the need of beautifying our bus
mess streets.
DIR. Carol Aronoviei, advisor OF the
city's planning and coming commits
sion, will be in Ell Ccntro for the
meeting in December II and will
offer suggestions which can be read
ilv used at very small individual
cost, and which, if followed out, will
make Ell Centre, the "City of Ar.
cades," a city of beautiful aTcades.
DR.. Aronovici is having plans drawn
for changing the arcades of the
building occupied by the city hall,
which is to be remodeled to conform
with the Aronovici design, as an cx-
ample of what can be done and,
when completed, this building will
illustrate improvements which can
be made in the appearance of our
business buildings at very low
cost
