COREY FORD IN
 JUNEAU,C0MES
 HERE BY PLANE

Nearly everyone in Alaska would trade jobs today with Corey Ford and Alastair MacBain, of New York, who landed in Juneau to- day six weeks out of their home town, on a tour of all of the best fishing spots between the east coast and Kodiak Island. They've had fine fishing so far, and ex- pect even better before their re- turn. All of their sport will serve as material for stories in the Sat- urday Evening Post, Golfers Weekly and Vanity Fair.
 The party arrived in Juneau at 3 D. m. today aboard the Pacific Alaska Airways Ford plane, with Joe Barrows, acting manager of the airways company, Pilot s. E. Robbins, and Fred Milligan, me- chanic.
 They were picked up at Fort St. James, Stewart Lake, B. O., Friday afternoon, stayed at Prince Rupert Friday night when they encountered foggy weather and left Prince Rupert at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon. They planned to leave today for Fairbanks.
 MT. Ford, who writes as John Riddell on occasions when the pseudonym is desired for pro- lection, was unable to say any, thing especially funny about his trip so far, he said, explaining that what he had seen of Alaska has been much too impressive to be funny about.
 Salt Water Taffy," MT. Fords parody on Joan Lowell's Cradle of the Deep" was one of the hu- morous best sellers a few years ago. MT Ford's short stories and articles appear frequently in Sat- urday Evening Post, Vanity Fair and other magazines.
 While in Juneau today, Ford and MacBain were busy gathering information about fishing spots and tackle and swapping stories with A. B. Hayes, manager of the AL aska Southern Airways, who en- rolled the virtues of Lake Hassel- borg where they plan to fish upon their return to Juneau.

KARL KLENKE ELECTROCUTED
 LATE FRIDAY
Touches Water Pipe with Chin While Cutting Light
 Wire with Pliers

Karl Klenke, Twelfth Street resident and crusher foreman at the Alaska Juneau mine, was &C., cidentally electrocuted late yes terday afternoon, dying as the re- suit of the shock.
 Exact details of the accident could not be ascertained, as MT. Klenke was alone at the time. However, a reconstruction of the accident was made by Dr. H. c. DeVigne and the position of the body and the burns indicated that MT. Klenke had crawled beneath the kitchen sink to repair electric wiring.
 In his hands the dead man held pair of pliers with which he was in the act of cutting a wire A burn on the chin showed that he must have touched a water pipe at the same instant when he gripped on the pliers, thus making a complete circuit.
 His body was found by Mrs. Klenke upon returning to the house after being away for some time. pr. DeVighne was called at GAS, and he estimated the time of death at about an hour or less before his arrival, making the accident at 5:45 or 6 o'clock.

BRISTOL BAY
 TO BE CLOSED
 NEXT SEASON
Commissioner Bell An nounces Important
 Step Be Taken

SEATTLE, July 28.-Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, back from a six weeks tour of Alaska, dropped a bombshen into the salmon indus try by the announcement the en- tire Bristol Bay section will be closed to fishing next year in a move and effort to rebuild the short year of the run.
 Commissioner Bell pointed out that this years pack will amount approximately to 100000 cases. He said he thought the industry could afford to lay off one year.
 Five Year Cycle
 Fish have five year cycle, " said Commissioner Bell. "The 1920 run was practically a failure and the 1925 run was little better, but in 1930 the run was as flat as a pancake. I want to see what complete layoff will do."
 Commissioner Bell said it is re- ported the Pribiloff seal harvest is expected to be about 60,0OO skins in comparison with 54,00O taken last year.
 Boon to Industry
 The announcement of the Bris- tol Bay closing was made at a meeting of the Pacific Canned Salmon Association and it regard ed as boon to the canning and marketing departments of the in- dustry.
 E. B. McGovern, President of the Association, said eastern job bers have been remaining out of the market in anticipation of dumping by interests controlling a large part of the 1884 red pack and much of the carryover from last year.
 Immediate Buying
 This section will promote im- mediate buying on the market as western brokers will now be forced to buy to cover the commitments" :" said McGovern.
 McGovern added that Bells action, while not necessarily caus- ing an increase in prices, would prevent demoralization of the mar ket.
