1925-l934 the average was raised to 47638,980, showing a sizable in- crease in the actual number of fish as well as in the number of cases packed
 The method which the Bureau Of Fisheries has worked out to accom- plish the 50 per cent escapement required by law is an interesting one in that, while it has been ap- parently successful in accomplish ing it's purpose, it has also allowed the greatest leeway to packers in allowing them to can at times considerably more than 50 per cent of the commercially valuable fish.
 Method of Insuring Escapement
 The closing dates of the season in the various fishing districts are established to permit the last 20 per cent of the salmon migration to go into the spawning streams after the close of the commercial fishing season. The fish this late in the fall are not of as good quality for canning purposes as the earlier arrivals because they have reached maturity. The other 30 per cent escapement is presumed to be provided for by the weekly closed periods.
 A study of physical and chemical changes in pink salmon during the spawning migration, carrie d on jointly by Frederick A. Davidson of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries and O. Eugene Shostrom of the National Gamers Association and published last year, developed some interesting facts about the pink salmon migration which went far to show that the present program of conservation allows the catch ing Of maximum amount of high grade fish, and still adequately

Competition of Other Fish
 But the success of the industry has been seriously threatened by the increased amount of cheaper canned fish, fish caught and canned out side of Alaska. On price alone, sal mon cannot compete in the Ameri- can market. The advertising pro- gram of the industry has sought and s succeeding i'll increasing the pub lie demand for Alaska salmon. Peo- pie are serving it more frequently, and many people who did not serve salmon previously have been in- duced to buy it through seeing the attractive looking salmon dishes in their magazines. This years low salmon prices have also led to a frequent use of Canned Salmon.
 The advertising program is mak- ing salmon's place in the American diet more secure. In doing this, it is making the jobs of Alaskans in the salmon, timber, wire. mining and retailing businesses more se- cure.
 And it is protecting the financial basis of the Territorial government at the same time.
 Production Cost Up This year, the cost of producing la salmon pack has increased tre- mendously. The price of materials. the wages paid to cannery workers and the price of raw fish have all gone up. This means that the packer must get better price for his pro- duct than he has been able to get during the past several years, or he will not be able to stay in busi- ness. The price of a staple commo- dity like Canned Salmon is set not by how much it costs to pro- duce, but by how badly the buyer wants it.
 "The future of the Canned Sal mon Industry in Alaska, and hence the security of the thousands of AL askan residents who directly or in- directly are dependent upon the canning of salmon, will depend on whether or not the industry adver- Using program, which has already increased the demand for salmon, cap make enough persons want enough more salmon to sell this years pack at price considerably above prices in effect during the depression years.

ter as well as their sumnler envi-
 ronment.
 Last Stronghold
 A major motif or the scenario will i, be to impress the fact that Alaska ] is the last important big game stronghold and hunting ground III the United States and the urgent need for an effort to establish game management plans to assure contln- uance in a big way. This picture will afford a splendid opportunity to dramatically bring home to the public generally such menaces to Alaskas wildlife as the annual de- struction by the immense forest and tundra fires of the Interior. Full use will be made of the chance to show the unusual and striking scenery in the game country and on the travel routes to and from the game fields
 One of the objectives of the pic
 tlre will be educational in striving to create in the public mind correct impressions about Alaska. Its size, 586.40O square miles or one fifth of continental United States, with the four general geographic divis- ions. the Arctic Slope, Interior Alas ka, Southern Alaska and Southeast ern Alaska with their attendant wide range of climatic conditions and vegetative cover will be stressed, coupled with the idea that scientific management of this vast domain will regulate the cropping to con- form to sustained yield, assure con- tinuance and guard against deple- ton.
 Another project of seeming merit planned for the coming summer which promises rich future divi- dends is game fish stocking of bar ren lakes. In the Admiralty Divis- ion Of the TongaSs Forest thirteen lakes now barren of trout and in accessible to salmon and two in the Ketchikan District have been se- lected for fish planting. These wa ters have all been approved for planting by the Bureau of Fisher ies. The work is in charge of an ex- perienced hatchery man temporarily leaned to the Forest Service by the Bureau of Fisheries. The eying sta tion is at Ward Lake near Ketchi- kan. It is planned to eye a large number of rainbow and cutthroat trout eggs, and also as an experi- ment to plant eyed steelhead eggs in some of the larger barren lakes. After the eggs are eyed they will be shipped to Juneau by boat and then

ROE NAMED HEAD
 OF SEATTLE FOOD
 AND DRUG OFFICE

Richard $. Roe, new head of the Seattle Station of the U. s. Food and Drug Administra ton, took over the duties of that office on May Is, replacing Dr. John L. Harvey. Dr. Harvey has been transferred to San Francisco to be chief of the Western District. He had served as chief of the Seattle Station for three years.
 Since the greater part of Alaska's salmon pack destined for interstate commerce moves through Seattle, it comes under the jurisdiction of MT. Roe's office under the pure food laws of the United States.
 MT. Roe entered the Food anc Drug Administration in 1925 as a chemist assigned to the Chicago Station. After five years in Chicago he went to Washington, D. O., work ing in the office of Import Super vision. In March, 1884, he was trans ferred to San Francisco as assistant chief of the Food and Drug Admin istration office there. He was sta. tioned at San Francisco until hi: recent transfer to Seattle.

cies, information booths, Chambers of Commerce and the Territorial Museum.
 One job of the Forest Service which has grown a great deal dur ing late years is in taking care of an increasing number of applica- tions for homesites and summer homes. This is especially true along the highways leading out from the principal towns in the Region. There is much work of a similar nature in the small settlements and localized developments springing up from time to time in various places on the Forests. These are generally fish, ing communities following the most recent development in popular troll ing waters in the outlying districts.
 The regular bus-..ess of the For est Service has shown steady in- crease during the past year.
 Timber saies, normally one of the major activities promise to be unu- sually heavy during the season. The latter part of March, a timber sur vey party consisting of ten men, started making an intensive cruise of timber show on the southern coast of Kosciuski Island, off the west coast of Prince of Wales Is- land. A preliminary cruise made several years ago showed approxi- mately 92 million feet in one body including a large amount of ex- cellent spruce. The two largest log ging outfits in Southeastern Alaska have shown an interest in this tim Der and have asked for an oppor- tunity to submit bids when the ma- terial is advertised for sale. This is the largest single unit of saw timber which the Forest Service has ever prepared for sale and is one of the largest stands of old growth spruce in Alaska.
 Region 10 receipts from timber sales since 1909 are $1, ,628, ,620.81. Re- ceipts from timber settlement, tres pass, land uses, water power and miscellaneous increase this amount to $1,961 063.84 of which total the Territory received $489, ,3O895.

taken by plane to the lakes. Previous field reconnaissance oi these lakes has determined theii
 suitability for stocking and favor able locations for planting in each lake have been mapped. It is hoped to plant all of these lakes this year and if the work proves successful to continue to plant other barren
 lakes during succeeding years. Most of these lakes are quite accessible They are in beautiful scenic settings and to stock them now is just money in the bank" building up a reserve against the day when many of our present well stocked waters will show the effects of heavy fishing.
 After all is said and done about these various projects and activi- ties it all boils down to taking as long look ahead as possible in the light of the best present information and experience, to provide in the best possible way for these multiple uses, growths, developments and de- mands, trusting to not go far wrong if we are always guided by that cardinal precept of "The greatest good to the greatest number for the longest time"
 eco Extra Duty
 A good example of eXtraneous du- ties which sometimes devolve upon the Forest Service, outside of it's regular work is the CCC which has just celebrated it's fourth anniver- sary in Alaska The entire responsi- bility for the administration of this except the disburse- ment of funds, was turned over to the Forest Service. The enrolment in the CCC promises to be very light during the summer months, which is quite as it should be as an augury of better times. The opinion is wide spread that the work of the CCC has contributed very materially to higher standards of living and wider enjoyment for the people of Alaska
 A large part of the activities of the CCC and other relief work under the supervision of the Forest Serv- ice has been development primar- fly for recreation. This has been characteristic all over the Region, largely because projects of this na- ture offered the most feasible and practical method of keeping fairly large camps of men employed dur ing the winter season, the period of heaviest enrolment.
 On the Prince William Sound Di- vision, recreation improvements in- clude truck trail extension toward the Power Creek Basin from Eyak with picnic grounds, cleared and improved with an open fireplace and tables. In addition to this work several trails were opened up to make lakes accessible to fishermen in the vicinity of Cor dova.
 Important developments in the Southern Division along the Ton gass Highway concentrate around Ward Lake where a general recrea- ton area and community center has been built up. These improvements include parking space for over 100 cars, a community shelter, dressing rooms, bathing beach, water system, float with diving tower and spring

large portion of the pulp that goes into the manufacture of those con- tainers is imported from Russia and Sweden. We have immense stands of timber in southeastern Alaska mcst suitable for the manufacture of pulp and paper; and if the Fed eral Government could be prevailed upon to open up this timber in a manner reasonable enough to in- duce capital to come in, these con- tainers could all be purchased in the Territory, and probably a great deal of your news print now used in the Territory could also be manu- ,actured at home, giving to the Ter ritory an industry that would pro- vide a sizeable payroll twelve months in the year
 If your Chamber cares to take up this question with the proper au- thorities I can assure you that you will find the fishing industry ready to help in every way that it can.
 Helps Build Roads
 Those of us who know the Ter ritory and it's needs all realize that highways. roads and trails are the backbone of the country, just as the -ailroads are in the United States. You may be interesterd to know that since 1913, when Territorial was first established in Alaska, there has been spent by the various Government agencies in charge of the building of roads. highways and trails. a total sum of-in round figures-$26, ,500000. Do you know or realize, that during he same period the fishing indus
 " has paid in to the Territorial in taxes a sum Of ST. 100000 in round figures? Perhaps these amounts will help more than else to show you the re- lationship between us.
 In conclusion. Gen lemen, I pledge to you the cooperation of he fishing industry to all matters 1 for the good of the Territory. I want you to feel that we are ready | to help at all times. I hope that it i s not asking too much of your body | that you will do what you can to bring about a better understanding ! f the importance of our industry to 1 he people of all the Divisions of the i Territory.

boards, sand piles for little children horseshoe pitching courts, picnic tables fireplaces, etc. The area also includes a ski course near the lake.
 On the Petersburg Division, the Wrangell Community Center and Recreation Area has been built which includes a fine lodge. This is so well liked and appreciated by the people of Wrangell that the Wran- lgell Womans Club under coopera- tive agreement with the Forest Ser vice. employees a custodian or care taker. paid by the Club. In addition to these improvements in the Wran- gell vicinity, a ski course, the Sandy Beach Truck Trail and a trail sys- tenn up Petersburg Creek with shel- ter cabins over into the Duncan Canal country have been built in the vicinity of Petersburg.
 Projects recently completed around Juneau directly connected with recreation include the Skaters Cabin on the Mendenhall Recrea- ton Area, the Aux Village Recrea- tion Area with clearing, walks, pie nic shelters and benches; the Lena Cove Area. clearing but no structur- al improvements, and tourist trail and registry booth at Nugget Creek.
 On Admiralty Island recent work includes a shelter cabin at Windfall Harbor; a trail to Lake Florence and a shelter cabin near the head of the lake; a shelter cabin with fireplace and a clearing for a pa- trolman's cabin at the outlet of Lake Hasselborg, raising the level of Shiels Lake about foot so that small boats can pass from Shiels Lake to Long Lake without portag- ing and general maintenance of ex- isting improvements.
 Folders Available
 The Forest Service has two folders now available; one for Admiralty IS- land and the other for the Glacier Highway. Two more folders will be available within a few weeks, one covering the Ward Lake Recreation Area, Ketchikan and Vicinity and the other general folder for the whole Tongass Forest These folders gre intended primarily as a guide for strangers and Forest users gen. orally who are interested but are not familiar with our various re- creation area, what they have to cffer and how to reach them. In addition to a supply for distribu- ton to callers at the local Forest Service Headquarters in the vari- GUS towns, they will be supplied as requested to transportation agen-

protects the resource.
 This study showed that the early runs of the pink salmon were made up preponderantly of male fish, Id consequently demonstrated that the actual spawning in the headwater streams does not take place until late in the summer and early in the fall when the sexes approximate a balance. Samples taken early in the season indicated that the early runs were made of sexually immature fish. The fish arriving late in the run, or the last 20 per cent which is allowed com- plete escapement by closing of commercial fishing, are sexually mature and ready to spawn. When the salmon are in this condition they are not as rich in food value as the early arrivals who mature after re hi n g the headwaters. Chemical analysis of specimens taken by the Bureau of Fisheries showed that there was definite decrease in food value late in the salmon migration, when the fish arriving had reached sexual matur- ity. There was a decrease in both the fat and the protein content.
 This sluGy shows taa: the com mercial importance of this last 20 per cent of the salmon migration is purely it's reproductive import ance, as the food value of the sal mon this late in the run is rapidly diminishing The reproductive abil- ity of the late salmon is, of course, no less because of the fact that they have matured in the ocean rather than maturing after reach ing the spawning grounds.
 While severe natural conditions may sometimes make the conser- vation policy of the Bureau of Fisheries seem to be somewhat in effective, a comparison of average figures demonstrates that the pol icy is working out with great bene- fit to the Territory and to the salmon canning industry. The use of average figures provides a long time view and consequently truer picture than figures b ased on single years, in which the natural elements affecting the salmon run may be exceptional.
