ALASKA has recently finished a 4 \ great salmon year. Estimates show upwards of SA million cases canned = now on the way to U. s. markets. Over million more cases of Alaska salmon went into cans this year than in 1885.
 People of the Territory have al- ready shared some of the benefits of this good salmon year. More money has come to Alaska. More labor has been employed and for longer aver age periods. Dollars spent for gear and maintenance all along the line have been increased to handle and care for the larger pack.
 Today the big new pack has reached American markets, but at moderate price levels brought about by supply and demand. At the same time great American magazines have carried-in advertising paid tor by the Industry - the story of Canned Salmon's deliciousness.
 To almost every household in America this story has spread. Gro cers throughout the U. s. have been featuring Alaska's No. product in special sales.
 So Alaska's salmon industry has safeguarded this years fine pack in !, the U. S. market. This means that

KILLING
 FROST OF FALL
 RECORDED HERE
Iq2- Day Growing Season During Summer-Unpre-
 cedented Rain, Mountains

The first killing frost of the fall season visited Juneau last night when the thermometer went to 31 degrees. one degree below freezing The last previous frost was on April 10. the U S. Weather Bureau reported, giving this section a 192- day growing period this season. Only on four occasions since the records of the Weather Bureau were started in 1917 has there been a longer growing season. The long est was in 1929 when there was no frost between April 2l and November Is, or for 2ll days.
 Meteorologist Howard J. Thomp- son also reported today that the rainfall at Perseverance durin g October up to yesterday when he took a reading revealed 29.39 inch es, an almost unprecedented fall. The greatest previous fall was in October 1917 when 3216 inches fell at Perseverance during the entire month as compared with the 29- inch figure for just the first Is days of the month this year.
 The Meteorologist pointed out that the heavy rainfall in the mountains indicated the cause for the great volume of water coming off the hillsides and the resultant slides.

SPEED IN FALLING

If one should fall from an airplane or
balloon at a height however great, his We
locity would never exceed 118 miles an
hour at any point before reaching the
earth, according to the conclusions of the
Army Air Service as a result of expert
mentS made with dummies.
This is contrary to the belief formerly
held by most persons that body con-
tinually increased its speed when falling
from any distance The fact is that this
rapid increasing speed in the case of a
body similar to that of man continues
only until it has fallen about 1920 feet,
after which it maintains a constant rate,
due to the resistance of the air.
This discovery also explodes the
theory that a person falling from great
height would lose consciousness and per-
hapS be dead before striking the ground,
for it is well known that aviators have
driven their planes at speeds of more than
$50 miles an hour on a straightaway
course, and at much greater velocities
when diving to make an outside loop"
The knowledge that falling speed is
limited is not of much practical benefit to
one who falls from a great height, how
ever, for the 118 miles an hour possible of
attainment is quite sufficient to effective
" put him out of business when he strikes
the earth.

GOOD FISHING NOW-BETTER

Visiting spOrtsmen never tire of tell
