down in the Nushagak area owing to the poor runs there, but reports from other districts indicated that fair runs were still being experi- enced.
 However, supplementary regula- tions were issued today by the De- partment of Commerce covering all of Bristol Bay as follows: Com mercial fishing for salmon in all districts is prohibited from 6. am. July 20, to 6 am. August 8"
 This virtually ends red salmon fishing there at the close of the current week Normally the main runs of red fish have ascended the spawning streams by August 3, the date fixed for resumption of op- erstions.
 The result of this action will naturally reduce the red pack to some extent. Just how much is problematical. It was said at local headquarters of the Bureau of Fish cries that the Bristol Bay pack probably would exceed l 1,000,0 cas- es but not probably by any large amount. The pack at the end of last week was about 860,000 cases.

EXPERTS WILL.
 ATTEMPT FINE
 DISPLAY SOON
Duplication of 1914 Erup- ton to Be Seen Dur
 ing Next Week

SAN FRANCICO, Cal, July 16.- Using tons of powder and chemi- calls, carried on the backs of mules to an elevation of more than 10,- 900 feet, a score or more of pyro- technic experts wearing gas masks will attempt to duplicate the 1914 eruption of Lassen peak, July 25.
 The man-made eruptions will form a part of a three-day program beginning July 24 which will for mally open Mount Lassen national park to the public.
 The park, containing 163 square miles and surrounding the only scmi-active volcano in the conti- mental United States was created by Congress in 1916, but has here tofore been inaccessible to the pub lie. A new highway into the heart of the park has just been completed.
 Two "Eruptions"
 TWO "eruptlOnS are plaInea, olle by day lasting 20 minutes and an- ether at night lasting 40 minutes.
 Working within the crater, in the midst of gases as heavy as any used during the world war, the huge volume of smoke that rose from the top of the peak IT years ago will be simulated by the dis charge of 38-inch shells, each ex- plosion of which will create smcke cloud five acres in area.
 In the daytime eruption, an at tempt will be made to reproduce ''Vulcan's Face" the name given to the cloud of smoke which rose during the real eruption and took the shape of a mans features.
 Following the artificial eruptions there will be an hours display of fireworks, climaxing in an artificial electrical and thunder storm.
 Twelve-pound rockets and 38- inch shells will be employed.

800 Flashes


 Each shell is designed to make 800 lightning flashes, with thunder crashes such as accompany eaca electric. discharge during a natural storm.
 The red lava overflow from the crater will be simulated by special ly devised flares and powder flash eS.
 While the succession of the at tempted reproduction of the "Vul- cans Face" may be dependent upon air currents which prevail at the time, Fred G Hit, expert in charge of the display, believes the smoke forms can be sufficiently controlled to assure a fair measure of suc- cess.
 Much of the firing will be done by electric currents, transmitted by wire from sufficient distance to give the director in charge a per- spective of the entire display.
 Schedule Arranged
 The men in the thick smoke Of the crater will place and discharge the huge shells, bombs and rockets in accordance with Q carefully ar ranged schedule and special in structions received over the signal wires.
 { To create the lurid glow of a vol cano in action, rockets that burn brilliantly for 40 minutes will De set off, 50 at a time, at frequent intervals. To effect the lava glow alone for the night eruption. 1000 pounds of flares will be ignited
