BOND ISSUES DULL
 0N TREASURY RATE
Hieh Interest On June 15 Ger.
 tihCates Deadens Market

New York, June R-News that the treasury had placed a 1-S per cent coupon on its June Is issue of certificates. the highest rate in eight years, contributed to the dull ness of today's bond market. The early trading was the slowest of the week and although the convertibles showed some signs of life they lag ged behind the volume of recent sessions.
 The fact that the government found it necessary to offer it's new securities at rate higher than the federal reserve rediscount figure. an unusual occurrence. is striking commentary on the present stagnant condition of the bond market, A coupon of per cent or even slight. ly more had not been unexpected, however. and SO publication of the treasury's announcement had little immediate effect on prices. Liber- ty SIS and fourth { 1-4s moved by small fractions, but the volume of Dus1neSs was exceptionally thin.
 Share privilege issues fluctuated narrowly. American Telephone IA and International Telephone 4h, were taken at nominal advances while Public Service of New Jersey 41ss. strong with the stock. added nearly three points to their advance of yesterday. Erie Convertible 4s added more than 2 points to the pre- vious close.
 Few changes appeared elsewhere in the list. New York Fractions which have been working higher showed slight advances and some oi the more popular rails got some at- tention which moved them up frac.

blocking of outgoing trains) the price in Ketchikan (frOm the same buyers who now say that closed Prince Rupert will in crease the profits of the fisher men has dropt. Within recent years, the drop was to 6 cents.
 The Commercial Club lays claim in the Chronicle editorial to great power example, the second cold storage plant would not have come to Ketchi- kan but for it's efforts; the es- tablishment of mail service about Prince of Wales Island; the increased price allowed Am erican fishermen over Canadian fishermen at Prince Rupert; the transfer of cable headquarters to Ketchikan.
 No doubt their assistance and support had it's influence. But it is too much to claim all the credit.
 Here is where their claim to power can be demonstrated. Let the storage facilities be made sufficient to handle ALL the hal ibut that might be said in Ket- chikan, and then let tEe buyers pay a price equal to that at Prince Rupert, and then WITH OUT closing Prince Rupert ALL the American halibut would be handled thru this port of Ket- Chikan.
 If the judgment of the Club is mistaken, the open port of Prince Rupert would act as an insurance to the fishermen. By the frequent testing of that mar ket, the fishermen would be kept

"No member of the Commer- cial Club of Ketchikan need blush for his membership or for tne things for which gj has stood and for which it stands today It's aims and objects are a better and bigger Ketchikan, prosperity for all Alaska, coop eratiOn between men of all call ingS, good schools, greater op- portunties, happiness, content ment and understanding, as against misunderstanding, sus- piciOn and deStructiVeneSs." This is from the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 There is no doubt but what the Commercial Club stands for a bigger and better Ketchikan and prosperity for all Alaska. But in their scheme of things the bigger and better Ketchi- kan" comes first. That explains their stand on closing Prince Rupert. A closed Prince Rupert would mean an immediate dOrp in the price of halibut. But it would also mean that the buy CTS would move to Ketchikan and a rise in the value of water front property. That is where the Commercial Club comes in the managers of the Club would find their immediate wealth doubled.
 The influence of Prince Ru- pert on halibut prices is too we'll known to admit of conjecture The increase came first when Prince Rupert became 3 buying port. Each time that that port has been closed Gas thru the

Act ing under the injunction of the department of agriculture and the game commission who said that a man could fire in defense of his own home, even though the Kodiak bear is protected, he laid his killer low. He tackled the pelt on the barn door and underneath it printed instructions to all bears to stay away from there unles they were just coming to pick berries.

DISCOVER POWER
 SITE FROM AIR.

A power site of more than 10000 horsepower has been discovered in the Tongass National Forest of southeastern Alaska, by the Alaska Aerial Survey Expedition now working in that region, according to information telegraphed to the Forest Service, United States Dept. of Agriculture in Washington. The aerial survey is expected to prove extremely valuable in connection with power development for the manufacture of wood pulp on the Tongass forest. The power site, just discovered, is on the east side of Taku Inlet near Greedy Point.
 Lakes, streams, and other i'm portant topographic features of the Tongass forest, the existence of which hitherto has not been known, have been revealed by the survey of the forest from the air.
 Before the aerial survey expedi- tion began it's work none of the greater part of the land surface of southeastern Alaska had ever been surveyed. The shore lines of the islands and the mainland had been delineated, but farther inland the maps were largely blank, even within one mile of tidewater. In 1926 a total of 10000 square miles was mapped. The work is now be- ing continued this summer. It is anticipated that an equal area will be covered in 1929, and this will complete the work to be done in this region.
 CloudleSS weather is essential to aerophotographic mapping, and much time is lost because this region is one of heavy precipita- tion and numerous rainy or cloudy days. In spite of these handicaps the expedition IS accomplishing work that would take years by the usual ground" methods of sur veying in this rugged, inaccessible region.
 The work is being done with Navy planes, and the Navy mine sweeper "Gannett" is acting as tender for the expedition.
 The Tongass National Forest contains vast amount of pulp timber, enough to supply 25 per cent of the newsprint needs of the United States in perpetuity.
 Under Forest Service admins, tration, this timber will be cut no faster than it grows, so that the industry, once established in AL aska, will have an unfailing source of supply.

They did a. consider able amount of traversing on their way out, which accounts for the time consumed. r.
 They missed the airplane by two hours and their frantic signals were not observed. Also at Tide Lake they missed a pack train by one day, so had to continue pack ing their blankets in to town with the pack train just day ahead of them. In their surveying work they had good weather nearly all the time and worked up to an eleva- tion of 1000 feet.

2-TON COAL TRUCK
 DROPS INTO CANAL

A two-ton truck belonging to the Crawford Transfer Co, which Thursday morning was checri1y and industriously chugging around delivering coal to Stewart residents, now lies on the bottom of Portland Canal just outside the Crawford dock, covered with no one knows how many fathoms of cold, wet water.
 At about 1030 Thursday morning Bill Emmard started away from the Crawford wharf with two tons of coal loaded on the truck. He was pulling up the incline ap- proach to get onto the road from the wharf, when an auto came along the road, forcing him to stop the truck, which immediately backed down the approach. Wheth- CT he put the brakes on or whether they failed to work if he did put them on, is immaterial to this story. Anyway, the truck did- n't stop, and when the rear wheels dropped over the side Emmard jumped and saved himself from a serious ducking, if not worse.
 Meanwhile MT. Bell, who had worked up sweat getting the 70 sacks filled with coal in time to load it without delay, sadly told, intersperSed with weird Scotch oaths, how much easier it would have been to have shovelled the two tons of coal into the salt chuck than to have filled sacks and weighed it.
 There is 20 feet of water imme- diately outside the wharf at low tide, then a ledge of rock and out side of this submarine precipice. If the truck lodged on the ledge it may be recovered; if not, good night! Meanwhile the Crawford blacksmith shop is turning out some grappling hooks for use in solving the problem.

Local Packers
 Shine At Rodeo

Ernie Musto, Chas. Ryan, Fred Fulton and Chas. Walker returned Monday night from visit in Tel kwa where they attended the Stampede" and took part in the "rodeo." In fact, 1t might be said that they were the rodeo, since there were only five entries in the riding and bucking competition.
 Musto and Fulton distinguished themselves by catching the gravel rash" when the tough broncs they rode piled them on their faces. But they stayed on the sun-f1shing, end-changing, stiff legged, jump ing, twisting, killing quadra- pedS longer than anyone expected them to, or than they had any right to.
 Ryan and Walker were more for tunate. The former won first in the bareback ridinb with a surcingle, and also in riding a steer bareback. Walker took second in the saddle race. Stewart is noted for hard boiled packers and skinners, but that there is rodeo talent in this town will be surprise to many.
