AVIAN CREEK IS
 SALMON FILLED
High Water Temporarily Blocks Path to Spawning
 Beds; Condition Relieved

To investigate reports that hun dreds of thousands of pink salmon were blocked in Anan Creek and unable to reach spawning grounds Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Assistant Agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, made a trip by plane yesterday to that stream. He was accompanied by Federal Mining Supervisor B. D. Stewart to advise him as to engineering work if it seemed necessary.
 Unusually high water was the cause of the condition which ex- isted temporarily and had almost disappeared by yesterday evening The volume of water over a fall was so large and the current SC strong that salmon were for a time not able to ascend.
 By felling trees across the stream forming partial overflow dams, the ascent was broken into graduated steps and the salmon enabled to pass over the falls. Falling water also contributed to improving the situation, Capt. O'Connor said.
 The greatest run of pink salmon in years was found to be in prog ress at Anan Creek. Between the weir maintained in the stream and the falls there were estimated to be 350,000 fish. Below the weir and ready to enter the stream it was estimated there were another 75,00.
 Above the weir, on the rifles where the stream is between 15O and 200 feet wide, the fish are literally packed solidly. Fins show CT above the surface of the stream as thickly as blades of grass on a we'll seeded lawn, MT. Stewart de- clared.

Opposition Gets Large Ma jority in Dominion's
 National Contest
NEW GOVERNMENT TO
 HAVE LEAD OVER ALL
Conservatives Have l36 Members to l04 for All
 Others-5 Undecided

OTTAWA, July 29.-R. B. Ben- nett, Conservative leader and Pre- mier-Elect of the Dominion of Can- ada, will face the new Parliament with clear working majority over the combined vote of all other parties. He will be the first Pre- mier in nine years to have a House of Commons with enough adher- ents to out-vote the combined op- position.
 Tabulations of the returns from yesterdays National election show ed that the Conservatives had 136 seats, the Liberals had 85 and other parties ranged from two to ten seats, with five seats still in doubt.
 Premier-Elect Bennett is law yer and practiced for years at Cal- gary. He was born and educated Tn Nova Scotia. He has been Con- servative leader for three years since he was chosen at a National convention to succeed Arthur Mea- ghan.
 The Conservative victory was forecasted by early returns which indicated an unprecedented upset ir Quebec They gained twenty seats there,s increasing their mem bers in that Province to 24.
 The Conservatives defeated two Liberal Cabinet Ministers in Que bee. Premier Mackenzie King won an uphill fight in Prince Albert by a narrow margin. He Jagged in the first returns but overlook his opponent when more returns came in and finally took a definite lead.
 In all, five Government Ministers were defeated. Charles Cunning. Minister of Finance; T. A. Crerar, Minister of Railways; Lucien Can- non, Solicitor General; Cyrus Mac milan, Minister of Fisheries, and w. F. Kay, Minister without port folio, all went down to defeat.
 Too Easy with U. S. A.
 The Conservatives attacked the countervailing duties against the , United States imposed by the Dun- ming Budget on the ground that they were not sufficiently retalia- tory against the new American tariff, and the new tariff treaty with New Zealand, made by the Liberal Government, which they declared permitted a great influx of quantities of dairy products to compete with Canadian products.
 One Woman Elected
 Ten women sought seats in the new Parliament, but Agnes Mac phail alone was elected. She has held her district since 1921.
 Minor Parties
 Early returns received last night indicated the election of the fol- lowing representation for minor parties: United Farmers, 10; Inde- pendents, 2; Progressives, 2; Lib- eral-Progressives, s.

FOREST SERVICE EXPECTS
 NO HOLDUP OF LICENSES

There is no present cessation of developments designed to brin 2 about the establishment of the newsprint industry in Alaska, and there is little reason to believe that any serious delay will be encount- cred in the issuance of water power development licenses, declared Re- gional Forester Charles H. Flory, il commenting on the above dispatch. n. We are fully aware of the un- certainty of the status of the Pow CT Commission organization and have been for sometime. However, we do not believe it will affect the licensing of waterpower re- sources that have been applied for by the Cameron and Zellerbach in- terests," he said. We are going ahead with the program without uneasiness and feel assured it will go through as originally announced
 Authority Is Ample
 "The body known as the Federal Power Commission IS not going out of existence because the Senate failed to confirm the three nom nations made several weeks ago by the President. Whatever it's per- sonnel, it will continue and have ample authority to make decisions on the issuance of licenses and power permits.
 sIf the President reorganizes the board by making recess appoint ments, there will be no legal or other hindrance to stop the newly formed Commission from acting on all matters coming under its jur- isdiction. If no recess appoint ments are made, then without doubt the Commission as at pres

ent constituted has all the author ity necessary to act.'
 No Conflict of Policy
 The waterpower situation in AL aska is entirely unrelated to the big water power issue in the States, MT. Flory pointed out. Here there gre no elements that involve mat ters of national policy. The power sites sought by the zellerbach and Cameron groups are relatively min or in importance small projects They arc industrial units which are not now nor never can become necessary for public utilities. They are important only as they are utilized for the development of Southeast Alaska timber resources.
 Hene, said MT. Flory, the Fed eral Tower Commission should have no iiesitancy in granting the ap- pliations for licenses, providing the field reports are favorable and the Elan of development practical. This is matter of detail, and no ques- ton of administrative policies is in- volved
 Work Almost Complete
 The field examinations on both the Zellerbach and Cameron prof ect are in the final stages. Today J. c. Dort, Forest Service hydro electric engineer, and B. F. Heintz- leman, Assistant Regional Forester, made an aerial survey of Dorothy Lake, Long and Crater Lakes, to tie in some detAils not otherwise obtainable. Tteir field notes are complete on 10th projects.
 Work on the final report nas been in prog: ess for two weeks in local headquarters of the Forest Service, Within few days this will b completed and the repor. and .ecommendations forwarded to the Federal Power Commission in Washington. The nature of re- port and recommendations will no. be made public here, but must come from the Commission.
 Do Not Expect Delay
 There is bare possibility that some delay may occur, but 1t is hardly likely" MT. Flory conclud- ed. If the present Commission continues in authority, and no re- cess appointments are made, we are sure it will act without undue wait If 2 new body is formed by recess appointments of the Presi- dents, we are prepared to make T showing sufficiently adequate 70 obtain from it the licenses sought for local waterpower development. :"

HITCH SEEN IN PAPERP PROGRAM
 PROPOSED HERE
Uncertainty of Power Com mission Status May De-
 lay License Issuance

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.- The establishment of an all-Ameri l. can newsprint paper industry ia Alaska to compete with the virtual monopoly now enjoyed by Canada is practically at standstill be- cause of the uncertain status of the Federal Power Commission.
 Two groups have applied to the Commission for licenses to build power systems in Southeast Alaska tc supply power for pulp and paper mills. The present commission, com posed of the Secretaries of Inter for, Agriculture and War, is re- luctant to act until it learns how soon 1t will be replaced by the five-man Commission authorized by the last Congress.
 Fail of Confirmation
 The Senate adjourned this month without confirming the three men nominated by President Hoover as members of the new Commission. The President is now waiting for an opinion from the Attorney Gen. eral of the United States whether the new power act will permit him to make recess appointments.
 The Alaska developments con- template the production of 5000 tons of newsprint annually, each consuming within 50 years 835, ,000,- 900 cubic feet of timber to be sup piled from Tongass National Forest. The paper will be shipped to the United States at prices equal to or lower than those established b, Canadian producers. Recently the Federal Trade Commission found Canadian newsprint cost from $61 50 to $67.70 in big lot contracts.
 Compete on Gulf Coast
 The Alaskan industry can meet these figures and furnish real com petition in markets as far distant as the Gulf Coast. It is estimated that manufactured paper can be delivered to New Orleans at $58 per ton; to Cincinnati and Chicago for $64.40 per ton.
 The present uncertain status of the Commission affects the Alaska situation in this manner: If the rev regulatory body should be ap- pointed during the Congressional recess, the present Commission will not act on the applications of I. and J. zellerbach and George T. Cameron, all of San Francisco. The Zellerbach development is on Rev illagigedo Island where it is pru- posed to generate about 80,000 horsepower from plants located fn six lakes. Mir Cameron and his associates propose powerhouses on Long, Crater and Dorothy lakes. near Juneau, to capacity of ST. GOO horsepower.
 J. c. Dort. hydroelectric engineer of the United States Forest Serv- ice, will report on the projects by September 1, but the Power Com mission wont act then if President Hoover intends to appoint it's sue cessor before Congress reconvenes next December.
