Seine Salmon Floods
 Cannery At Waterfall

A flood of seine-caught fish has been taxing the capacity of west coast canneries. according to tine Ketchikan Chronicle.
 It was reported that the Nakat cannery at Waterfall had 1270oO fish Sunday morning. SO,00O of them being seine caught. Att. gether. the Waterfall plant has can ned about 600,OO0 seine fish so far this season, or 4o.000 cases out Of pack of 5000 cases.
 The first signs of bigger run on the west coast attracted seinels from the Ketchikan and other dis tricts. Lately there have been 125 boats at Point Addington The oth- CT major concentration point has been Cape Muzon.
 The boats with the best fisher men are reported to have bee4 bringing in catches of from 1Ool to l2,00O fish each. 1t is reported that Canadian buying boats are lowering in open international w. ters seryicing the Canadian fishing boats in the same general vicinity.
 With so many boats gathered on the west coast. seine catches in the Ketchikan district are still light. However, it is only in the past few days that there have been any signs of a more extensive run in that dis trict, and it is still not to be com pared with the exceptional showing on the west coast.
 It was reported that when first the run started at Addington the sockeyes made up 20 per cent of the selne catches The percentage has since dropped to about To- Sock eyes are bringing 30 cents each on the grounds, 31 cents delivered. Canneries which feel the full force of the heavy seine catches are at Rose inlet, Waterfall, Craig. Klawock, Hydaburg and Moves | island.

COL. STEESE ON WAY NORTH
 TO OLD MINING PROPERTIES

Enroute to the interior to inyes- tigate mining properties at Fair banks and Circle, Col. James G. Steese. head of the Alaska road commission from 1920 to 1927, was aboard the Alaska in port at Wran- gell Monday night.
 His trip, which is the first since leaving Alaska four years ago will be hurried one. It is possible. he said, that certain old properties on which he holds options, may a. gain be worked profitably, due to the advancing price of gold.
 Since leaving Alaska, Col. steese has been interested principally in oil, being a producer in both Okla homa and Texas He is drilling four new wells in Texas and his stay in Alaska will be limited to three weeks, So that he may be back in the fields when the wells are brought in.

As long as l am commissioner there will be no abolition of fish traps in Alaska"
 Frank T. Bell, U. S. COmmis- sioner of Fisheries, cast the die which settled, temporarily at least. the fate of Alaskas commercial 'fishing. when he told the Alaska Press at Juneau Saturday evening that the present methods would re- main practically unchanged in the future.
 "I have run into a measure of criticism of fish traps from sein- CTS and others.n Commissioner Bell said, but the seine fishermen could not hope to yield the pack now produced through traps. And ! am not forgetting that the fish traps pay S5 Der cent of Alaska's taxes"
 Commissioner Bell returned ta Juneau on the motorship Brant from an extensive visit to the Bris- tol Bay fishing areas, and continued south Saturday night after he and his party attended a dinner at the Governors Mansion
 Bell said he saw practically no traces of unemployment in Bristol Bay and other Westward fishing areas among resident Alaska fish ermen and eannery workers. nor were any such cases reported 10 him.

BAY SEASON ENDS
 IN BIG PACK

The Bristol Bay salmon pack in the 1886 season, which closed Sat urday totaled 1,393,80S cases. ac- cording to an announcement by L. G. Wingard, Alaska agent for the |. s. Bureau of Fisheries.
 The success of the 1886 pack was due entirely to the run on the Nak- nek and Kvichak Rivers. which was remarkable In it's volume, Wingard said Tremendous activity featured the season on these rivers, which alone accounted for a pack of L. -0I9. .844 cases.
 The run in the Nakknek-Kvi- hak area continued strong throughout the entire season The. Egegik River run was only average and the Nushagak River run was poor.
 The Bristol Bay pack this year struck a mean average between the runs of the past five years, accord ing to Bureau of Fisheries figuree exclusive of last year when a clos ed season prevailed.
 It failed to approach the peak year, of 1884, by over 3O0,0OO cases. The pack in 1894 totaled 1,789,- CTS cases, while in 1883 the pack was 1.591,1O8.
 The year 1886 exceeded 1881 and 1892. however, the totals for these years in Bristol Bay being 1,099,- 881 cases and 1,308,996 cases re- speatively.
 The detailed pack reports from lhe four districts in the region, computed after the close of the sea- son Saturday, follow:

 With regard to typhoid. "We heard much more about it after we left Bristol Bay than we did while we were in the midst of it," Bell said. He minimized the prevail -nce of the disease in the region.
 No changes of a radical nature are contemplated in the fishing reg ulations of Alaska as a result of the commissioners visit. he reported Some adjustments will be made, but they will be of minor nature.
 Fishermen in the Bristol Bay had good season, according to Bell, and the fishing generally was gooI throughout Alaska except in the Wrangel district

Trader Finds ESkimOS
 On Verge Starvation

A radio message received at Ju- neau Thursday from the veteran Arctic trader, Peterson. on his ar rival at Herschel island, said that Eskimos along the Arctic rim are facing starvation. Some natives, he said, were found in a seriously weakened condition and their rein deer reduced to skin and bones.
 The situation on Barter island is particularly serious. the trader said. Peterson, who sails north annually from San Francisco, asked for gov ernment aid. He said that he gave all he could spare of the ships sup plies, such as flour and other nee essities, 70 the Eskimos. Food is UT gently needed, he said.
 The governors office and the Bu reau of Indian Affairs immediately radioed to U. s. Commissioner F Daugherty at Barrow. asking if he could give any assistance which would be flown to Barter island if necessary. The situation is most acute, there. Peterson said
 Barter island is 275 miles east of Barrow and Herschel island IS 400 miles east.
 Peterson, who is the only Ameri- can trader sailing east of Point Barrow each year, operates an old time wooden motorship. He has been in the Arctic trade for twenty five years. Each year his trip is literally race to get into the area and out again before the Arctic ice packs shat in again along the coast.

July 31, 1886 Editor Sentinel:
 Have just heard of a report that is circulating around Wrangell and I want to deny it.
 It is said that the U s. Navy de stroyers that visited here took guns up the creek and shot bears, deer. etc. They did bring guns ashore but I took them away and they were left at my cabin. No shots were fired here.
 The first. two destroyers had such a good time that they wired the Commodore and he arrived the next day. Ahout 400 pounds of trout were caught here in two days. The Commodore said he had the best time of his life.
 The yachts Virginia and Zimmie were here at the time. The Eddy yacht was here yesterday.
 Amos Berg spent several days here getting pictures for Fox films and the National Geographic
 There is also story that I came ashore from a certain yacht with my face covered with lipstick. That was also exaggerated. Yes, did fall out of Berg's canoe
 Fred Swift who spent thirty years north of the Arctic Circle, is here with me and is having the time of his life.
 The trout fishing here is the bes I have ever seen.
