New Liquor Rule Hits
 Ketchikan n Night Spots
Us a 1 o'clock town.

It's a 1 o'clock town.
 Kethcikan's night spots, on the first Saturday following introdue- tion of the territorial regulation 1orbidding sale or use of beer and liquor between 1 and a. m., were following the law. Where once merry-making was the rule until early dawn, a vast emptiness he'd sway.
 survey madC in yesterdays s small hours revealed:
 Restaurants where beer is sold were quiet by a. m., and nearly deaeItea by o'clock.
 Not a single light could be seen in the restaurants and beer par lors on Mission and stedman streets at q. m.
 msistent requests for beer after the closing hour, met with definite refusals.
 Restaurant proprietors were uni formly glum and indulging in sor- rowful head-shaking over the con dition Of their once most prosperous hours.
 All this. of course, is not to say that beer and liquor cannot be had in Ketchikan after 1 am. The num- erous establishments in which sales have been made illegally in. the past are carrying on as usual, and those with an unuuenched thirst and a pocketbook which can stand the tariff of 50 cents for a bottle of beer or a glass of whiskey need not deny themselves.
 But the long, lOng nights of con- ylyiality, laughter and dancing are gone It's now a 1 o'clock town ketchikan Chronicle.

TRADE TREATY BENEFITS
 ALAS. SALMON INDUSTRY

Alaska will share in the bene- fits to be derived from the recently signed Reciprocal Trade Agreement between the United States and France. j. R Wheeler District Manager. of the Seattle office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tie Commerce. r. & Department of Commerce, stated in an interview today.
 Imports of Canned salmon from this country by France have total cd less than 2O,0O0 pounds in the last few years With the signing ot tnia agreement, the French govern ment has allocated a quota of D. 2o4.0O0 pounds for the period end ing December 31, 1926. In addition an allotment of 551, 1000 pounds has been set as the quota for the fir quarter of 1887. This would be a. an annual quota rate, if continued, 11 2,204,00 pounds.
 Tn addition to opening tue mar ket for this tremendously increased plantity If Alaska Canned Salmon. the duty on this product has bee reduced to the same basis as Can led Salmon from Canada, Japan and Russia. These two concessions should materially increase the eX- port sales of this product In 1925, total L. s. exports of Canned Sal mon amounted to about 45 million pounds of which nearly 10 million went to the United Kingdom. If France absorbs it's full import quota, that country will take it's proper place as the second largest foreign user of Alaska salmon.
 An additional advantage gained for Alaska is the recent ruling of the French government which per mits the single word Alaska to be embossed on the cans i'll place ot the previously required 'Etats-unis- d'Amerique.' Thousands of cans of Alaska's finest food product will now go to France every year, eacn bearing the name of the Territory
 "The development of new mar kets for Alaska Canned Salmon, both through growing foreign trade and increasing domestic consump- tion, will help to stabilize the In dustry in Alaska, and help to make the livelihood of Alaskans who are dependent directly or indirectly upon the Industry more secure.

PORTUGUESE EDUCATOR FINDS
 ALASKA TRIP DELIGHTFUL

Fernando de Lara Refs, was the farthest from home of any of the 300 tourists aboard the Alaska in port at Wrangell Monday. He is a teacher in a school at the Portu- guese colony of Macau, South China, near Hong Kong, which prepares the youth of the colony for CT trance into universities of Portuga'
 Professor de Lara. Refs has trav- elled extensively all over the world, both in familiar and little known places. He was very voluble in his praise of the thousandmile long Inside Passage of the Alaska trip and said that the nearest to it that he knew was Japan's island wa terways. However, to him, the beauty and allure of the Alaska trip far transcended the one in Japan, for the vistas are ever changing, now narrowing, again widening and the Alaskan and Bri- fish Columbia island coasts of the passage are, except at rare inter- vas quite in the natural state and without habitation, in contrast to the teeming multitudes along the Japanese waterways.

 The last paragraph summing up the Commissioners findings. states That the motion of contest and every objection specified therain, should be oyerruled. for. while it is true that the testator. Susie Snakes. an Alaska Indian woman of very rudimentary education and training. did not observe all the formaliues commonly associated with wills. the phraseology of the holograph plainly indicates testa mentary intent and purpose. nam ing as beneficiaries and sole heirs her sisters sons George Vergou. and Philip and Willie Kelly.
 The will was found in the bottom of a box of moccasiu beadw work which after Mrs Shakes death. came into the possession of Mrs Jane Doe Miller who did not sur render it until compelled by court order on June 23. 1936. The ap- peal is based on allegations that the will .s not that of Susie Shakes and that it is not in the form re- duired by law.

FISH RUNS
 REPORTED
 PICKING UP

Representing eight canning days, the total pack of Wrangell district as Of July IS, was 38,321 cases. according to data filed at the Wran- gell office of the Bureau of Fish cries
 While the pack is approximatele one-third of the 1885 pack On the same date, it is slightly above the 1883 pack ard not far from the 1884 pack. One factor Ill this years pack being smaller than last year S is the size of the fish. The pinks are of good quality but small, av- eraging sixteen to seventeen to a case. as they did in 1854 Last year as in 1883, they ran twelve to thir- teen to a case.
 It is estimated by the packers that if the number of fish brought to Wlansell this year had been the size of last year. they would have packed somewhat over 12,000 more cases during the eight days of canning
 Today's reports are that the runs are picking up and it is felt that there is still time to get up a nor nal pack in this district
