 WINTER HERE
Chamber Hears 100 Small Boats Will Make Base
 Here This Winter

One hundred small boats, fishing now in local waters. can be expect cd to winter in the local harbor the Chamber of Commerce was told today by J. w. Wilson, who return cd recently from a cruise covering the entire district This, he pointed out, is double the number making their homeport last winter.
 The trollers and residents gen. orally of Port Alexander and other trolling centers deeply appreciate the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and local business in- terests toward getting an extension of the trolling season, MT Wilson said The extensions granted by Commissioner Henry OMally, he added, seemed generally satisfac- tory to the fishermen.
 With bays and inlets reported filled with coho salmon, Charles Goldstein urged the Chamber to wire Commissioner OMally request ing immediate opening of the sea- son. This matter was turned over to the special committee headed by Henry Roden for action. This would add a week to the fishing season, were the request granted.
 President Faulkner reported that the Finance Committee had col lected $500 of the outstanding sub scriptions during the past week and expected to add to this by oth- CT collections.
 Today's meeting was featured by a special program of vocal music by the Snyder Harmony Trio which is appearing afternoon and eve- nings at the Southeastern Alaska Fair. Members of the trio, Miss Emma Jane Epler, pianist, Frank Snyder and Fred Richardson, were guests of the Chamber today. They made splendid impression with their program which consisted of popular songs.
