The total sum to be expended is $195,70O Of that amount $l60,8O0 is for vessels, 12,- 150 for floats, docks and store houses, and $22,750 for headquar- ters buildings.
 There are six vessels on the program. One has been completed, another will be next week, third in 30 days more, and three others will be launched by November Il. The largest of the fleet, a 114-foot vessel is being built by the Wins low Marine Railway and Ship building Company of Winslow, wash. The hull has been planked and decking is now being put on. It will be powered with twin 200-horsepower Washington Estep diesel motor. It is scheduled to be completed and launched on Armistice Day.

 A float for Wrangel will be un- der construction next week. At Dillingham;, in Bristol Bay, a head quarters building is being erected Materials for headquarters build ings at Kodiak, Kenai and Chitina are enroute to those places. At Anchorage work is progressing on a dock and storehouse. Lumber has just been landed at McGrath for headquarters building.
 All of the work on the buildings program, including docks and floats, has been done by day labor on force account, using local work CTS exclusively, MT. Terhune said.
 Darling Is Sympathetic
 J. N. Ding) Darling, new head of the Biological Survey, is very sympathetic with the work of the Game Commission in Alaska, MT. Terhune said. He is so crowded with work that he could not find time to visit Alaska this year, but it is hoped he can make an ex- tensive trip here next year.
 The bureau has been completely re-organized to meet demands of new work it has had to undertake in connection with refuges of migratory birds, and other efforts to conserve that species of game fowl. This has required lot of time and MT. Darling has been kept at his desk almost continual ly.
 Stamps For Hunters
 Hunters of migratory wild fowl this year are required by Fed eral law to purchase special stamp, sold at $1. The proceeds from the sales will go for estab- lishment of additional refuges and other protection for the birds. No more than 10 per cent can be ex- pended for administration and the remadnding 90 per cent must be expended in actual protective meas ures.
 We hope to have the stamps placed in virtually all postoffices in Alaska within short time," MT. Terhune announced. He has telegraphed to Washington author
