PETERSBURG IS OPPOSED
 TO PROPOSED HATCHERY
 IN PUGET SOUND DISTRICT

The Wrangell Commercial Club is n receipt of a letter from the Pe- ersburg Commercial Club which eads as follows:
 We understand that there is a movement toward the establish ment of extensive salmon fish hatcheries and marine ways for the accommodation of the Alaska fleet of the Bureau of Fisheries tc be located on Puget Sound. Be- lieving that since the Territory of Alaska produces 80 per cent of the canned salmon pack, has the natural spawning areas and is the location of the operations of the boats mentioned, such facilities should be placed somewhere in the Territory, the Petersburg Com mercial Club has gone on record as opposed to the expenditure of money for such purpose outside the Territory. If you find our information is correct and are of the same mind will you please make the same known by a simi- lar action"

THOUSANDS TRAPPED WHEN STOCKS CRASH
 IN FALLING MARKET

NEW YoRK-With a roar heard around the world, stocks crashed in the biggest market in history. Nervous and fearful because of dwindling profits and quie y mounting losses, speculators of all varieties dumped their holdings into the dizzy maelstrom as the rate for call money climbed from twelve to fifteen, to seventeen, and finally to twenty per cent A brisk recovery in the final hour which boosted prices anywhere from five to twen- ty-five points, came too late for thousands who had sold out in the early trading. Losses amouRted to millions of dollars.
 The policy of restricted credit for speculative purposes, espoused by the Federal Reserve Board, was the prime factor in one of the most dras- tic shake-outs the market has ever experienced. The string around credit has gradually been pulled taut and the withdrawal of only ten million dollars from the call money field was enough to break the mar ket. The morning crash was one of the widest on record. Stocks dropped from five to seventeen points without visible support. From then on, trading was frenzied and the ticker closed 93 minutes late, after sales of S,246,74O shares had been recorded.
 Among the stocks that lost ground was American and Foreign Power, off 4. Chrysler 2A, International Nickel 6B, Greene Copper and DuPont IA, although many others dropped even lower. United States Steel, General Electric. Kennecott and Union Carbon were prominent among leaders in the recovery.

Hall Type Hammerhead Trap
 Permitted For This Season

Dennis Winn, Alaska agent for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, has wired Frederick G. Morton. Wran- gell representative of the Bureau, to the effect that the use of the Hall type of hammerhead trap as used in the southeastern district will be permitted during the coming season.
 By this ruling the bureau evident ~ distinguishes between the Cor dova and Wrangell types of hammer head traps. The Cordova type might be termed a double hammerhead as 1t has combination pot and spiller 'n addition to the usual pot and spfller. It also has two jiggers ex- tending from the extreme end of the Gniller which in reality is nothing less than an extra lead. These fea- lures by doubling the efficiency of the traps, are condemned by the Ssh conservationists.

Spaniards Fly Atlantic.

RIO DE JANIERO - Captains Francisco Jiminez and Ignacio Igle- sias brought glory to Spain and real ized the dream of years when they landed at Bahia, Brazil, more than 1000 miles from Seville, the scene of their takeoff. They had failed by 500 miles to equal the long dis tance flight record held by the Ital- ians Del Prete and Ferrarin, but had flown across the Atlantic. Only the illness of Captain Jiminez caused them to end their flight before reaching Rio De Janeiro. the obiec- tive of their flight. They were aloft 43 hours and 5S minutes continuous ly and averaged about 90 miles an hour.

Wrangell Folks Smoked 57.42 s
 Miles of Flags" in 1928

From figures recently issued by the Internal Revenue Bureau, it may be deduced that 1,323,0OO cigarettes were smoked in Wrangell last year.
 According to U. S. statistics, dur ing 1928 105,915,165.014 cigarettes were smoked in the entire country at least the tax returns show they were bought. Now. the estimated population of the United States is 12O,013.0O0. Dividing the number of cigarettes bought and presumably smoked, by the population, shows in round numbers that 8S2 cigar cites were smoked per person. Null tiplying that number by the popu- lation of Wrangell. conservatively estimated at 1900, the result is 1.323,O00.
 Perhaps Wrangell went a little over or a little under its quota. but that is the number that should have been smoked here if local smokers did their per capita share of puff 'ng last year.
 Figuring the length of cigar cite as ? A inches, the distance GOV cred by cigarettes in Wrangell dur ing 1928 would be 3.63S,250 inches, 7r 57.42 miles-if the cigarettes had been laid end to end. This doesn't mean a thing except that a lot of cash has gone up in smoke, and it may give the mathematical experts a chance to show up a dub" at figuring.

ANCIENT HIGHWAY USED BY
 RUSSIANS MAY BE REBUILT

KODIAK-Followin an ancient highway that was used by the Rus sians over 100 years ago when they took their grain to the old grist mill on Mill Bay four miles north of Kodiak, new road is to be built soon which will be a boon to the homesteaders in that section of the island. The old mill was built on the outlet to Loon Lake, and dur ing the first quarter of the last cen tury, the residents of Kodiak, the first permanent settlement of Alaska, who received their grain from col onies along the California coast, took their wheat and barley and corn there to be ground. Perhaps at some not distant day another mill may be built there but it will grind the grains that will be raised on Kodiak itself. The matter of an appropria- ation of at least s15,O00 is expected to be acted upon favorably by the present session of the Territorial legislature, so that the old road can be put in modern shape. There are a number of homesteaders out in that vicinity that will ze benefittted and it is declared that a good road will be the cause of many more homesteaders locating along the line for agriculture and stock raising pursuits.
