Salmon. this royal fish growing to d weight of forty pounds or more, battling with suicidal ferooity when hooked. At Outer Point Shoal Point. Tee Harbor and Auke Bay near Juneau these huge aristoerats of the Salmon family may be taken by trolling with spoon or bait. During the past few years this sport has become extremely popu- lar with heavy tackle fishermen. The Silver, or Coho Salmon, of somewhat lesser dimensions. may be taken in the same places and in the same way.
 Perhaps the greatest thrill of all that can be offered to fishermen is an airplane trip from Juneau to Lake Hasselborg in the center of Admiralty Island where incredible catches have been made, or to any one of the vIrgnal, otherwise impregnably situated lakes within an hours flight from Juneau.
 As to licenses and regulations the non resident angler will be happily surprised to learn that no fee is required for noncom- mercial fishing. nor is there any limit as to size of fish or bag. There are far too many fish; far too few anglers to require the various regulatory measures necessary in the States

Vision of Pioneer Juneau
 Merchants Is Fulfilled

enough interest evident to make it worth while to have meeting Fortunately, today Juneau business men know that only through their own organization can they voice their opinions and have those opin- ions carry weight.
 Financial support in the past few years, in spite of conditions, has been good. Likewise. the regular meetings of the Chamber have been well attended. The Chamber luncheons have proved a common meeting place for merchants. Even though they served only as social gathering where business men could meet, eat, relax, exchange ideas and enjoy the company of one another, the existence of the Chamber would be justified. Considering that the meetings serve in that capacity. and, in addition. as means of expressing the combined sentiment of the community. the Chambers existence is more than justified; is in fact, absolutely necessary for the welfare Of Juneau
 Past Presidents of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce include B. M Behrends, John Reck. Charles Goldstein, Allen Shattuck, R. E. Robertson, H. L. Faulkner, Dr. H. c. DeVighne. Harry Watson, E. M. Goddard. Dr. w. w. Council. w. s. George. H. I. Lucas and John w. Jones. The 1894 President is c. T. Gardner.

IN spite of periods where support was lacking; in spite of oc- casional unjust criticism, the vision of Juneaus pioneer merchants a quarter of a century ago has been fulfilled. The vision was of a united group of business men, work ing to improve living conditions and business methods in Juneau and that group now exists as the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 Today, more than at any other time. the Juneau Chamber of Com merce has the solid support of its business houses in it's constant fight for improved conditions in Juneau and in the Territory.
 An increased tourist trade, better service from mail and passenger carriers, an improved Coast Guard service, a bridge to Douglas, com petent care of those in need-these matters and hundreds of others have come within the scope of the Chambers activities. The sen timent of the business men, of the residents of Juneau, can be voiced at moments notice on any such matter through the Chamber of Commerce. Without such an organization quick combined action would be an impossibility
 Records of the Chamber show that there were periods when sup port was lacking. Even as recently as 1927 and 1928 there were months at a time where there was not

 Gold recovered from placer de- posits in the Fairbanks region from 1904 to 1880 was valued at ESQ., 100000. and MT Hill sees reason to believe that placer production for the succeeding 25 years may be even greater.

Present Task Is Finding Out All About
Engines and Bleaching Of Bread Golf
Her Hobbv In Off Hours

Officially Miss Ruth G. Capen
is a Junior chemist in the Bureau
of Chemistry and Soils of the De-
partment of Agriculture, the only
chemist of her sex in that bureau.
Unofficially, she is a charming
young woman who doesn't like to
talk about her work, who has con-
tributed much to the scientific
knowledge of foodStuffSs and who
likes to play golf in her off hours.
Has Important Work
At present, Miss Capen is en-
gagged in discovering suitable
natural substitute for an artificial
product used by bakers in bleach
ing white bread. At least, that
would be a simple way of explain
ing her duties of the moment.
But she herself describes the
work as follows:
EFFECT of adding meal made
from terminated grains to wheat
flour in baking bread"
Translated into understandable
terms, this means that Miss Capen
superintends the baking of dozens
upon dozens of loaves of bread,
each with a varying amount OF
meal ground from beans, peas and
similar vegetables.
Only she doesn't call them
The Washington times., 1934-01-15

beans and peas" She says lie
gumes."
It seems that the engines of
certain leguminous vegetables pro.
duce the bleacher effect, and all
that it is necessary to learn now
is, how many engines, and how
much meal, is needed.
Visited Apple Country
Another example of Miss Capen's
work is to be found in a visit she
made to Wenatchee, Wash, this
summer to assist experts from the
Bureau of Plant Industry in find
ing the most efficient way Of re-
moving poisonous spray residue
from apples.
Quantities of lead arsenate, a
poison used to destroy insects, re-
main on apples after the trees are
sprayed. Uncle Sans laws pro-
vide that much of this must be
removed before the fruit can be
marketed.
Miss Capen was born and raised
in Boston, and was educated at
Smith College and the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology.
where she studied bacteriology.
She joined the Bureau of Chem
istry and Soils in 1920, and has
made her home in Washington
ever since.

.OAKTON BACKS
SALES TAX

Oakton (Va) School and Civic
League today sent Fairfax county
members of the Virginia assembly
resolutions advocating enactment
of a Statewide sales tax to pro-
vide sufficient revenues for
schools to permit full-term oper-
alton.
Speakers at a mass-meeting
Saturday deplored closing OF
schools for the sake of economy,
pointing out the sales tax was
a prolific source of revenue.
The Oakton action closely fol
lowed a favorable report on the
measure by directors of two
Chambers of Commerce-Arlipg,

already have petitioned Senator

Calls Debt DefauIting Move
Tantamount to Treason

Purchase Of imports from a
nation (which unjustifiably re-

tantamount to treason"
This charge was hurled today
by James E. Van Zandt, COM

Of a million names, Van Zandt's
attitude was hailed by veterans
as the only one a patriotic
American could adopt.
Doubly Flagrant
The fact thai members of the
American Expeditionary Force
made the world "safe for de-
mocracy" is alone an obligation
far beyond the ability of Europe
to pay, he asserted, and "for
this sacrifice, this Government
asked nothing"
But the fact that loans made
by this country to the warning
nations prevented their economic
ruin makes their failure to re-
pay us Goubly flagrant, he de-
clared.
The full text of Van Zandt's
statement is as follows:
