PORT ALTH0RP.
 SCENE OF WAR
 AMONG TRIBES
Thlingets and Chilkats In Disturbances Lasting
 Over Week End

Tribal friction, inflamed by ire ouent potations of home breweo alcoholic content, almost ieo .o actual hostilities between mempeiS of the Chilkat and Thlinget tribes at Port Althorp over the last week end if was revealed here tooay with the return of Special Oi1lcer ' w. Wilson with three men unoer sentence for violating the, Alaska Bone Dry Law.
 In disturbances last Saturoay and Sunday night, several mempels of both tribes were said to have received minor injuries, but no as- sault charges have been made. Feel ing is said to remain tense between the two tribes, but no fresh out break is expected to take place.
 Word of the trouble was received here last afoEslay when telegram was received by local authorities from Superintendent Larson of the Port Althorp cannery asking TOT aid in quelling the fighting fac- tions before real warfare developed Wilson left here at once and reach- ed the cannery Tuesday morning to find conditions quieted down on the surface but boiling below it. He had been preceded by Special Deputy w. K. Keller ana Prohibition Agent E. H. Myers whose presence had stopped the disturbances.
 The results were still to be seen in bandaged hands and heads. Two women, Wilson said, had had fingers bitten off and ears injured in free-for- all fights. The fighting had apparently been more or less general both Saturday and Sunday nights.
 Inquiry revealed that moonshine liouor had been rather freely i'm bibed by all factions and Sriba differences led to physical combat Wilson and Myers arrested Davie Charles and George John, Hoonaf Thlingets, and Charles McKeown white, and took them before the United States Commissioner at Hoonah. The first two pleaded guilty to manufacture and posses sion of intoxicating liquor and Nc Keown to possession. The first two were sentenced to so days ir the local Federal jail, and Nc. K.eown to Is days and fined $25 They were brought here last night by Wilson.
 After the trial at Hoonah, tht wife of David Charles assaulted 8 Chilkat woman, one of the witness es taken there from Port Althorp and knocked her into unconscious ness. Mrs. Charles was arrested but when it was learned she hac eight small children to take care of, she was released without charges being filed.

 GREATEST EVER

The salmon run in Icy Strait and northern Chatham Strait is the heaviest ever known, declared Hans Floe, Superintendent of P. E. Har- ris Company's plant at Hawk Inlet who was here today for a few hours on business. Never in all my ex- perience have I witnessed anything to compare with it." he declared.
 The Hawk Inlet plant had 60,000 cases packed to last night and ex- poets total of 73,000 cases by Saturday when the fishing season ends in the district. This is the largest pack 1t has had since 1918, when the season did not close un- til September IS.
 In that year, MT. Floe said, the rrcb was 1Sn 100 cases. "If we were packing until September IS this ,s-.., Lave llo uuuDG that we would be able to equal if not ex- ceed the 1913 record"
 It has been impossible to keep traps clear. and seiners have taken more fish than ever before. MT. Floe told of an instance a few days ago when he brailed one spill CT of trap, taking out 25,0OO fish, and while he was loading a scow from the second spiller 10000 fish entered the one just brailed.

will be necessary to promulgate ad- ditional restrictions to keep down the total catch to correspond to the original estimates.
 This has been the policy of the Bureau of Fisheries ever since the inauguration of the present con- servation program under the White Fisheries Act, Commissioner O'Mal- ley pointed out. A concrete example of this was afforded in the Alaska Peninsula area east of Cape Tol- stoi this week, when the Depart ment of Commerce issued a SUD- plementary regulation adding SO hours to the weekly closed period which brought that period up to 96 hours for each week This was the result of the appearance of four floating canneries in the district, adding gear that was not taken into consideration when the original reg ulatiOns were issued last winter.
