ABERDEEN APPRECIATES ITS
 FISHERIES

Construction of a public wharf in the sheltered cove just inside Grays Harbor at Westport has brought to that community an industry with a payroll of more than $4OO,OOO.
 Salmon trollers who operate out of that port will be paid more than $3OO,OO0 for their catch this year. They started fishing in April and to date have deliv- cred 425 tons to various buyers at Westport, all for the fresh fish trade. Prices ranged from 26 cents per pound in the spring down to IS cents a pound as of date.
 The fishing industry is believ- ed now to be a permanently in that section as a result of which many trollers who previously had no fixed home, have estab- lished residence there.

Fox Farmer Tries
 Mix With Grizzly

Pete Madsen, fox farmer Of the Kuslof district is reported to have had very narrow escape from death recently while hunt ing bears with Ed Lovdahl in the vicinity of Policy Creek, re- ports the Anchorage Times. Madsen and Lovdahl had shot at what they thought was a thicket of alders, ant they were taken considerably by surprise when big brownie, angered by a bullet wound, emerged from the thicket and charged them. Both took to their heels but Madsen tripped and fell directly in the path of the infuriated bear. The brownie attacked Madsen without ceremony and undOubtedly would have Killed him had not Lovdahl gone to the rescue, at no small risk to himself From a position not more than seven feet, he sent a bullet into the head of the bear, dropped him before he could do any more damage.
 Madsen was taken to Snug Harbor and returned to his Ku- silof home on the M. s. Discov- erer He escaped serious injury but will carry the marks of the encounter for a long time.

O'MaIIey Closes the
 Bristol Bay Area

Reports from a reliable source yesterday stated that the Bristol Bay area has been closed to com mercial fishing by United States Commissioner on account of the failure of the salmon run this year.. Reports a few days ago indicated that O'Malley was not a little concerned over the poor run and he recently published additional fishery regulations to close the Bristol Bay area to fish ing for 12O hours each week.
 Reports from the Prince Will liam Sound are also anything but satisfactory. The run in Icy Straits is now said to be pretty fair-all thing being considered. In the Ketchikan district, only the traps are making any catch es and they are nothing over which to become excited. The fishermen are frantically run ming from one to another, from one channel to another, looking for salmon but so far no crew has paid for oil let alone paying for grub. The Anan run over which fishermen and packers all got excited is now virtually over. The 'fbig run" was due to the fact that the traps in the southern end had not had ap- p0rtunity to catch the first run which went by. This run to the Anan section is said to be "the greatest run in years" So far big catches-five to twenty-five thousand, formerly common in that sectiOn-have not been re- ported. However, more salmon were seen in that section than has been for several years.
 The Ketchikan packers are now paying II cents per fish for pink salmon. Prices reported by the different canners including Rake, Petersburg, Wrangell Mar rows Packing Co.,, Lake Bay, Wrangell, and Burnett Inlet, range from four cents to ten cents for pinks.. Prices are so unsettled that some of the fish ermen have refused to go out as operation costs are prOhibitive.
 Bristol Bay pack is reported as being 5OO,OOO cases short, ac- cording to Frank H. Foster of Cordova and it being a conserv ative report, the shortage in all probability is a lot greater.
 The AaIska Peninsula fishing was pretty spotted; Kodiak run a failure and Prince William Sound and Cook Inlet report very short and light runs.
 O'Malley has left for the Ber- ing sea area to personally in spect that area for the .finny tribe he is alleged to have con- served so nObly since he under took conservation of traps.

Vim. A. DunkeIberger
 Dies Suddenly

The good people of Petersburg were stunned, Wednesday morn ling, when word swiftly passed from person to person and house i to house that William Allen Dunkelberger had died during night in the Petersburg hospital. He was a big man and outward ly showed no indication of be- ing anything but we'll and he was not one to bother others with what to him seemed trivial ailments.
 Coming in from the days fish ing he showed plainly that he was sick so he was easily persu- aded to see the doctor who inn |mediately ordered him to the hospital and to bed so that a blood transfusion could be made. Two hours after he entered the hospital he was unconscious and never again did he recover his conscientiousness and by one o'clock he had gone over the Great Divide.
 William "BilP Dunkelberger to all who knew him, was born on the 24th of October, 1892 at Genoa, Nebraska. He attended the grade schools in Nebraska until 1904. The family moved to Washington and he was grad uated at the Olympia High School.
 When the country called her men to arms to meet the enemy in a great war, Bill responded and served overseas with the 91st Infantry and saw service that tried the spirit of men. He was wounded once in the head by a |shrapnel and once on the heel with a bullet.
 He first came to Alaska in 1916 and began to work for MT Dinner, on a shrimp traWler. Tn 1924 he met Anna Lewis, who later became his bride in Wran- gell, the result of which union being a daughter, Wilma Ann, now four years of age. He is sur vived by his widow Mrs. Anna Dunkelberger, daughter Wilma Ann, two step children, Myrtle and Malvern, his mother Mrs Lydia Dunkelberger now living in Olympia ard brother Harold J. Dunkelberger and two sisters, Mrs. Calra Leaning and Mrs. Naomi Tobin a!l in Olympia.
 William was serving a second term as Post Commander of the Petersburg Post of the Ameri- can Legion ard as President ot Jtlle local Pa ceEt-Teachers' As cociation. He was public spir- ited citizen and always ready to put his shoulder to any load to make it lighter. His cheery greeting and winning smile will long be remembered by all who knew him.
 Funeral services will be held in the Sons of Norway Hall Sat arday morning beginning at l9:30 o'clock. Immediately fol- owing the funeral service the remains will be taken to Wran- gell for burial. MT. Dinner has placed his fleet of boats at the disposal of all who wish to go to Wrangell as a last respect to a departed fellow citizen. At Wrangell, the American Legion will have charge of the services and interment.

Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

Of Hosea, ,"Out of Egypt have called
my son." was literally fulfilled
Upon his return to Palestine, Joseph
learned that Archelaus, who was a
worse man than his father, Herod, had
succeeded to the throne. He was d.
rected once more by the Lord In a
dream to take up his residence in his
old home at Nazareth, which fulfilled
the prediction that "he should be
His boyhood and His period of prepa-
ration for His public ministry. The
community was a priestly town, located
upon the line of trade. In this country
community Jesus grew up in contact
with the religious life of Jerusalem and
the commercial life of Asia and Africa.
Nazareth is located in a beautiful basin
amidst the Galilean hills. about 1000
feet above the fertile and historic plain
OF Estraleon. From the hills about the
Vllleage Jesus could see the Mediterra-
mean, about 10 miles away, and the Sea
OF Galilee, about 10 miles distance
from Nazareth.
There Is much that we would like
to know about the childhood of Jesus
but the Scriptures are almost silent
There Is hint or two in the parallels,
knowledge and references made in
Christ's public ministry, that throws
SOME uBnG upon GnOSS DAYS, Wnen
Jesus was growing physically, mentally,
spiritually and socially Mary was the
Masters first teacher. From her Jesus
learned the first prayer that fell from
his lips. She taught Him to nemorize
many of the great and important por-
TORS Of the Old Testament. The syna-
gogue school supplemented the work Of
the home in giving Him the foundation
for His knowledge of the Scriptures
and their meaning. The days He spent
in the carpenter shop Of Nazareth with
Joseph, learning His trade in accord
ance with the practice of the Hebrews
of teaching every boy trade, were i'm
portant factors in His development The
burdens of carrying on the business
after the death of Joseph and caring for
the family were helpful in giving Him
a knowledge of the problems faced In
every home. Excepting His visit to
Jerusalem we have no accurate knowl-
edge of any event in His life of prep
aration to become the Savior Of men,
as prophesied to Joseph, and the King
of Kings, whom the wise men came to
worship Let us join them In adoring
Him and dedicating our lives to Him
and His church to help develop His
kingdom among men.
