 Only 1l- seal were taken by the natives in the Sitka section, Haley reported, and the salmon trolling thus far has been light. Up to May Is only 52,000 pounds of fresh kings had been taken, about half the amount for the same period last year. Halibut fishing is fair, he said, with 150,000 pounds taken up to May Is. Late season is be- lieved responsible for the lightness of the catch thus far, and most of the fishermen still are looking for a good season.

Home Mortgage Under FILA Now
 Gaining Favor
Safety Standards Strength ened-Creater Protec-
 ton Is Afforded

It has taken the nations home mortgage lending business only g little more than a year to undergo radical change in character anc to adopt principles of practice that make for long range. security anc safety both to lender and bor- lrower.
 A survey of the business today laccording to John E. Pegues, Ter ritorial Director, reveals the inter- testing fact that the amortized single mortgage based on a high percent age of scientifically appraised value has gained almost universal adoption in this country.
 While the long term amortized mortgage actually was not intro duced by the National Housing Act, this law at least. served as the vehicle on which it has been car ried to nationwide acceptance by institutional lenders whether they operate with the additional pro- lection of Federal Housing Ad- |ministration insurance or not" MT. Pegues said
 Use of this type of mortgage formerly was confined largely to certain sections and to certain lending agencies such as the build ing and loan associations. While few extended over the full period of 20 years allowable under the Housing Act and virtually none for the 80 per cent of appraised value which is the maximum under the Housing Act, some building and loan associations as long as score of years ago, held to the principle that this type of mortgage was sound.
 The National Housing Act con- tributes, therefore, means of standardizing practices of mort gage lending which have proved sound and safe to lender and bor- rover with the greater protection afforded by Federal insurance of mortgages.
 Among the m any advantages which develop and grow out of standardized practices is the elim- nation, to a considerable degree, of dangerous competition mon g lenders which might result in over lending on real property and react against the quality of the mort gages as an investment, according to Frederick M. Babcock, Chief of the Underwriting Section of the Federal Housing Administration.
 The long-term, Federal Housing insured mortgage appears also to be gaining favor as commercial bank investment, fact that few months ago would have seemed in- consistent with commercial bank practices. A recent survey, however, showed that 39 per cent of Fed eral Housing insured mortgages had been handled by national banks and 32 per cent by State banks. Thus II per cent of the Federal Housing Administrations long term paper is in the portfolios of com mercial banking institutions"

 PICTURES SHOWN

Practically every fur farmer in the immediate vicinity gathered at the Legion Dugout Saturday even ing and Sunday evening to attend conferences held by Albert H. Leon ard, of the fox department of the Purina Mills, on the general fox farming industry. Motion pictures were shown.
 Mir. Leonard, who in the informal discussions, stated that from his observations, fox farming is most logical for the Territory, as it's climatic conditions are right for all sorts of fur-bearing animals, par ticularly silver and blue foxes. In discussing the proper food of these types, MT. Leonard stated that a special cereal put out by his firm, combined with crushed fish is the superior food for blue fox, while silver fox grow better on diet known as checkers, put out by the Purina company. Lower production costs, better selection and foods, and better management is the only sure road to success in this busi- ness, he concluded.
