O'MALLEY IS
 PLEASED WITH
 FISH OUTLOOK

KETCHIKAN, Aug. 5. - Henry 0'Malley, commissioner of fisheries lor the United States, at the Rotary Club luncheon today, after complet- ing a survey of almost all the salm- on fisheries of the territory, in effect served notice on those inter- ested that the more gear they at tempt to put in the water, against the spirit of the regulations of the department, the more restrictions are likely to be imposed.
 This was reiterated afterward in an interview in which he pointed out that the department Is deter mined to conserve the fish, to make the industry everlasting, and that it will not be thwarted by efforts of individuals or corporations who attempt to side step the objective. In other words, he is asking the in dustry to play the game squarely, 10 comply not only to the letter but also to the spirit of the regulations
 Present indications. he said, indi- cate no necessity for cutting the season shorter than at present. Should the escapements and runs of fish be satisfactory, as antici- pated, in the future, there may be a liberalization. There is no cause for apprehension at the present time, he pointed out. as the run of salmon in this district is consider ably better than in 1927 and the pack generally compares favorably with some former years.
 Conditions to the northward are encouraging for the territory also. In Bristol Bay, he said, the run and catch is a little short. At Pribilof islands the seal roundup is greater than ever, some 10000 having been killed. Port Moller cannery oper- ations are better than in 1928. At Chignik there is a good pack. Tn Prince William sound the pack is about as last year, which was good. The Copper river production, as a result of regulations, is 100 per cent better than a year ago. At Yakutat and Icy straits the produc- tion has been good.
 The commissioner criticized some what the action of some packers in rushing a lot of floating gear to Icy straits and quite definitely in dicated that regulations would be promulgated to bring about the de- sired escapement, regardless of the amount of gear the operators might

BIG BEAR KILLS TWENTY
 CHINCHTLLA RABBITS

FAIRBANKS.-A big black bear which forced it's way through the door of rabbit house on the Rivers & Nystrom fur ranch. located about nine miles from Fairbanks in the direction of Ester, killed 20 chin chilla rabbits this week. The bear killed wantonly, striking down all rabbits in the house. Two were knocked senseless by the bears paws but lived.
 Charles Nystrom saw the bear as it was prowling about his cabin after entering the rabbit house. He fired at it through a window with shotgun but, although wounded, it escaped into the woods. J. G. Rivers, MT. Nystrom's partner, is going to take a rifle and dog out to the ranch and the bear will meet with a warm reception if he comes around again. About 30 rabbits are left on the ranch, these having been kept in another house.-News- Miner.

Louis M. Royal, former mem mer of the Wrangell high school faculty, and whose marriage to Miss Liberty Worden occurred after his first year here, has accepted a po- sition in the Pawtucket, Rhode Is land, schools for the coming year.
 The following Charlemont, Mass, news item appeared in a recent is- sue of the Greenfield. [Mass.l Re- corder:

Royal will teach was built two years ago at a cost of $2,500,0 ,000 and 2,000 pupils are enrolled. A session is held from S:30 A. M. to 1:3O P. NJ. and the school contains an excellent equipment both for scholastic and athletic purposes, in- cluding a fine swimming pool avail able summer or winter.
 "The position MT. Royal is to fill carries an increase of salary each year and will give him considerable opportunity to advance. He will be able also to teach in night school if he so desires.
 Mrs. Royal, who at one time had studied piano with the hopes of be- coming a virtuoso. has been obliged to practically give up her music while in Charlemont, but she hopes to take it up again in her new home. Mir. and Mrs. Royal will continue to keep their home in town until about September 1, but will probably go to Pawtucket about August 15, to find a desirable apartment"

Funeral Rites Held
 For Mrs. C. Sumption

A sad occurrence of the week was the suicide of Mrs. George Stump tion on last Thursday afternoon About three o'clock Mrs. Sumption drank a quantity of lysol. Dr. Anna Kearsley was summoned and the P~ uIeuJ was removed to the hospital where she passed away at 4:25 P. M.
 At the coroner's 41quesI heiG that night Dr. Kearsley presented the following certificate to the jury: This is to certify that Mrs. F. Sumption of Wrangell suicide with intention of taking her own life. By drinking lysol and other poisons at her home about 3 P. NJ" The jury's verdict was that deceased committed suicide when in a state of temporary insanity"
 Florence Blake Sumption was born in Wrangell on May 20, 1905. and was, therefore, 24 years of age at the time of her death. She was married to George Sumption on De- cember 5, 1905. Two children were born to this union, Edrie, aged two years dtlu q DdDI OOA II 0Ia May 14, 1929. Betty, aged four, is the daughter of a former marriage.
 Mrs. Sumption was very happy in her domestic life and frequently commented on how kind and good her husband was to her and the children. This fact was more than evident to the community, for no wife was ever more tenderly cher ished than was she. Continued i'll health made her Respondent. She had suffered from chronic valvular lesions of the heart for several years and as other complications arose her mind became clouded at times.
 Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at St. Philips Episcopal church. When a young girl Mrs. Sumption had become a member of the Presbyterian church and had ever lived a consistent Christian life She was married to MT. Sumption in the Episcopal church and it was here that it seemed fitting to hold the last sad rites for her.
 The floral offerings were many and beautiful and were eloquent testimonials of the esteem in which the deceased was held by a host of friends. Besides her husband and three little daughters, she is sur vived by her father and mother and two sisters.

JeffrieS Host
 On Outing Trip

R. H. Jeffries, Geo. M. Bidwell, T. J. Mcbride and Dr. o. H. Wha- ley left on the Hazel B No. ? Tues day afternoon for Telegraph Creek on a two-weeks' outing trip.
 On the return trip from Tele- graph Creek MT. Jeffries will be host to the other men on board the Hazel B No. 5 which he has charter ed for the occasion. The party will hunt and fish along, and leisurely drift down the river.
 MT. Bidwell said they would keep a careful record to find who shot the biggest fish and caught the big gest bear. He rather feared the close friendship of the men would be marred by fighting as each one was determined that he should do the cooking.
 The group were plainly apprecia- tive of the number of lady friends who gathered to see them off with appropriate gifts and expressions of good will. The men, however, kept their heads we'll and shook hands or bade affectionate farewells with re- markable presence of mind.

Anderson Boat Shop
 Will Not Be Moved
 Away From Wrangell

Wrangell readers of Stroller's Weekly were startled this week when they read the following article:
 "Three-cradle marine ways
 that will accommodate boats 100
 feet long are said to be in the
 offing for Juneau, according to
 announcement made at the meet
 ing of the Juneau Chamber of
 Commerce Thursday by D. NJ.
 Goddard.
 MT. Goddard returned recent
 ly from Wrangell where he was
 informed by Arthur Anderson,
 that he. Anderson, contemplated
 moving his ways from Wrangell
 to Juneau this fall, that no sub
 sidy Is asked and the undertak-
 ing is being wholly financed by
 himself"
 When seen by a Sentinel reporter, A. B. Anderson, owner of the An derson Boat Shop, stated that he aad been approached by Juneau men relative to his building a ma rine ways in Juneau and that the matter was still pending; while there was a possibility of his build ing in Juneau at some time in the future, in no event would he con- sider moving his Wrangell ways. No matter how attractive a prop osition another town might offer" said MT. Anderson, "Wrangell is the center of this fishing district and the business here is too good to think of moving the ways"
 MT. Anderson bought the boat shop and marine ways located at the head of the bay, from the Fred Bevier estate in March, 1926. He started in small way and enlarged his plant with his rapidly growing business. The business of the past year, he states, is double that of the preceding one. Beginning with two helpers. his brothers, Ernest c. An derson and Carl s. Anderson, the business has grown until 16 men were employed this spring, all of whom worked ten hours a day, seven days a week.
 The Anderson "boys" came by their skillful workmanship in boat building as a matter of course Their father, c. M.

NEWS FROM ALL OVER
 THE WORLD
SECRET OF UNKNOWN RACE
 IS SOUGHT ON vHKON BANKS

WASHINGTON. - Locked in the banks of the historic Yukon, in the northernmost reaches of Alaska, unknown to science, which may be uncovered this summer by Dr. AIes Hrdlicka, curator of anthropology if the National Museum.
 Revealed by the remains found in crude boxes made out of burned out logs, a form of burial wholly unknown in Alaska. there is no other knowledge to base an under standing of the Host race" The burials, first reported last year by a former missionary, were found from five to seven feet in a bank of the river.
 Their occurrence at such unusual depth, indicates. according to the anthropologist, that Alaska once had a much warmer climate. In the present time, the earth is perpetu- ally frozen beneath the two and one-half foot mark. Historic even before the days of the gold rush, the Yukon may have been the de- vious avenue travelled by the an cient Asiatic people into North America.
 A second objective will be the bank of Bonasila. Human remains unlike those of the present Yukon In dian, have been found, accompanied by semi-fossilized bones of animals. a good many of which no longer live in the region. Another ob- jectiye will be to explore briefly the site of six or seven dead villages in the Shageluk slough. They were, according to early Russian accounts of considerable importance.
 More than 2,000 miles of the journey will have to be made in small boats.

 This party is not to be confused with the various parties working from the Explorer. It is an inde- pendent party and has no connec- tion with the Explorer, though they are both a part of the U. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
