name might not mean much. Men

cal residents will know NO is
meant. red. with "a years of
service, is still as young as his
name, and none of the youngsters
who have a few years to their
credit would want to get "uppity
with him, only nobody wants to
because Red" is just too good-na-
turcd for that.
Charlie Ferguson, eX-chief, and
Tom Reams, present chief, are next

joined the department in 1914

appointed the first permanent chef
giving all his time to the depart
ment. Charlie still does yeoman
service in the ranks when the
alarm sounds. Tom is known tc

GOOD RUN OF SALMON HELPS
 FAIR PRICES
Days Fish Receipts Antici- pated to Be About
 150,00O Pounds

With an increasingly heavy run of red salmon reported, and a sat- isfactory price offered for their catches, Southeast Alaska Trollers face the possibility of recovering from the slack condition manifest ed in fish markets during the ear Her part of the summer.
 According to reliable sources, no further interruption of operations is expected this season, and larger quantities of fish are being taken every day. It is anticipated that there will be good money to be made by the fishermen for at least two months more.
 Sales in Juneau this morning were small, consisting of several trolling boats taken by E. E. Eng strom and w. O. Carlson, with one packer. the Fern, Capt. John Low ell, delivering 15,000 pounds to MT. Carlson last evening.
 Packers due in this afternoon and evening, however, for both in dependent buyers and the Alaska Trollers' Cooperative Marketing As- sociation, are expected to swell the days salmon receipts to around 150,000 pounds, a record for the season. About half of that amount is to be brought by the Asso- ciation packers from Sitka.,
