COAST GUARD FINDS NO TRACE OF MISSING KETCHIKAN MEN

KETCHIKAN, Feb. 26. - The coast guard vessel Cyane today is continuing her search for James H. (Curley) Fraser and two others who left here aboard his gas boat T-23O5 a week ago last Saturday and have not been heard from since.
 The Cyane set out from here yes terday and has been combing the shores of Behm canal for evidences of the boat or the men, but nothing has been found to encourage them.
 Fraser and his companions, Rob- ert Buchanan and D. J. Butler who is better known as "Kentuck.' left here a week ago Saturday to go to Bell island hot springs. The boat in which they travelled is believed to be owned by Fraser.
 All had been drinking heavily be fore setting out on the trip which was a spur of the moment" affair it is reported. It is also considered likely that little attention was paid to the boat or food supply before setting out on the trip.
 4 brisk wind was blowing the night they set out and may have caused the boat to encounter trou- ble. It is believed that the T2305 is the same vessel from which Os- car Case, a former local man, was lost a year ago. Fraser was run ming the boat at that time. Case was washed overheard near Cape Decision, Fraser later reported to Juneau authorities.-Chronicle.

Bristol Bay May Open
 Quarter Million Pack

commercial salmon fishing in the bristol Bay area will be per mitted this year only if conditions show fishing to be consistent with conservation of fish, according to announcement made this week by the department of commerce.
 It was indicated during the re- cent session of the territorial legis- lature that the area would be opened during the coming season with a pack limited to a quarter million cases. A resolution was in- troduced by Senator Campbell of Anchorage asking Governor John W. Troy and Delegate Anthony Di- mond to make an effort to prohibit outside fishermen from taking part in the limited catch.
 Gill nets only are used in catch ing fish in the area, traps not being allowed. It has been estimat- ed that from 1000 to 1900 Alas kans are affected by Bristol Bay regulations. If in the interests of conservation the bay cannot be opened, EZRA assistance has been promised to the residents of the area.

Dease Creek Property
 Brings Owner $1OO,OOO

John c. Osborn, formerly of Wrangell, who has been a resident of Juneau for the past eight years or so, has become vice president of the International Highway Gold Mining & Exploration company, capitalized for 100000, for which articles of incorporation were filed last week in Juneau.
 The other incorporators and of ficers are Robert W. Wilms. presi- dent, and John l. Conn, secretary treasurer, both of Juneau.
 The purpose of the company is to acquire placer gold and gold quartz properties along the entire length of the proposed Internation- al Pacific-Yukon highway. Efforts will be concentrated this year in the Cassiar mining district in gen eral. and in particular on the Ne pigon placer lease on Dease creek. It is planned to completely drill this property which, it is claimed, already has a drilled valuation of S4S8,250.00 in fifteen acres. The property was purchased last week for $100, 0,000.O0 from c. IT. Smith, an old timer in the Cassiar, who at present is living at Tulsequah, on the Taku river
 Wilms, who acted as Smiths agent, is we'll known in Wrangel, and the Cassiar. He discovered the S.W.B. property in the Taku river district, which was bonded to the Alaska Juneau Mining Go. in 1881
 All of the incorporators of the new company are well acquainted in the Cassiar, each one having spent several years in the district Wilms believes that the Cassiar is certain to become one of the out standing gold camps in the near fu- ture. He believes also that the building of the International high way will stimulate mining along it's entire route, and throughout the entire North, will open up that immense area of mining country in cluded in the great Pacific-Arctic divide, and give work and innu- merable opportunities to many thousands of people.

With much grum b ing and growing Wrangell climbed aboard the water wagon Monday morning and until hard, soaking rain sets in, will continue climbing on the wagon, not because the town has turned against strong drink" but because low water in the reservoir necessitated cutting off the mains in order to have enough water for the operation of the city light plant.
 City trucks haul in water from nearby streams for household use and citizens go out to the truck with buckets and receptacles of various kinds, as they have been obliged to do two other times since last July. Completion of the new reservoir, now under construction is expected to end any water shortage in the future.

RUSSO-FRANCE SECRET TREATY
 IS REVEALED

PARIS. April 5-Deputy Taittin- ger has been sharply reproached by Premier Flandiu because of the Deputys alleged indiscretion in dl- ymgng that France intended to accelerate the process of rearma- ment. also that a secret military agreement existed between Russia, Czeeho-Sloyakia and France where by Russia undertook in event of a Franco-German war to come to the assistance of France with an air fleet. Taittinger also disclosed the fact that in event of war. France would help Belgium with two divisions.
 The premier said that if such in- discretions recurred cabinet mem bers would not reappear before the committee for national defense.
 Great surprise was caused here by the fact that the report of this session of the finance committee does not state that Premier Elan din denied the truth of any of Taittinger's assertions which con sequently are now regarded as ad- mitted.
 No little astonishment was caused by Flandin's intimation that supplementary exp penditur for strengthening armaments arising during parliamentary recess would be passed by decree.
