.CANNERY PACKS
 FINISH SATURDAY
Canneries Put Up Larger Packs Than Were Anticipated At
 Beginning Of Season.

Local salmon eanneries which have been running at nigh speed LOT the past two weeks wlI1 nave finished their packs by the end of the week, as the season closed on August 20.
 The Wrangell Packing Corpora ton put up a pack far beyond the expectation of the owners ot the cannery Judging from past disap- pointing seasons they anticipated at the beginning of operations, a pack or about o0O0 cases. Their pack will be about 41,000 cases, which is large pack for a small cannery and a snort season.
 Two breakdowns occurring when several thousand fish were on hand prevented the pack from being much 4arger.
 The Diamond K Packing Com pany has bought all season from 47 gill net boats fishing on the Sti- kine. While figures on the total pack are not available just yet, the pack will probably reach 37,00O cases.

Princess Alice On
 Excursion Cruise

Southbound on the first special excursion to Alaska in many years, the Canadian Pacific steamer Prin- cess Alice was in port here WedDes- day morning.
 A capacity list of tourists was aboard anl no local passengers were taken from the various ports. e itinerary of the twelve-day cruise included many places off the regu- lar schedule Of the Canadian Pacific boats.
 It is more than possible that the company will arrange a number of similar excursions for next year. One tentative plan would arrange the schedule so that the steamer will remain all night in the various ports. This would give the fassen- gers opportunity to sec the entire scenic beauty of the trip as nothing would be lost by night travelling.

 Tall Timber.

The plane Petersburg, Bob Ellis, pilot, Brian Harland, mechanic, was in port Wednesday evening bringing George B. Rice of Juneau to Wran- gell. MT. and Mrs. Lacy Hofius, en- route to Seattle, were other passen- gers aboard.
 The Petersburg left Cordova the latter part of the week with MT. and Mrs. Hofius. Stormy weather was encountered over the Gulf of Alaska. Arriving at Yakutat the weather had grown so much worse that they were kept there for three days.
 Ellis made three attempts to leave but on the first and second flights was forced back. For a time he was enabled to follow the coast by the surf line, then the weather grew so thick that the surf was not visible He was able to make the flight on the third attempt.
 Out from Yakutat two brown bears were seen feeding on the beach. The plane dove for them, and, said Harland, Anyone who thinks brownies are not scared of anething should have seen the speed those two fellows showed in getting back into timber"
 The Petersburg returned Thurs day to take George Rice and L. B. Chisholm to Juneau.
