JOYFUL JOE
 GOES ALONG,
 NO WORRYING
M cCarthy Declares that There Is No Prob
 lem at Second

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 29.-A happy, fat Irishman huns tUncful ditties as he moves about the pir ' .fringed Yankee ballyard here these days Plump Joe McCar- thy has few worries.
 Everything is rosy in the spring training camp of the world champ -Sns. All the cogs in the New York machine are in perfect shape anc Marse Joe proudly calls your atten- ton to the spirit and ginger of his Bronx Bombers.
 They've won two stralg championships, whipping their Ma tional league rivals with ease after dominating the race in their own loop, but there's nothing blase about the Yankees as they start after thjr third flag.
 They're just as peppery a2 the loud-yelping Gas House Garg from St. Louis, training for the National league campaign just a few miles away alongside the bay. These Yanks like to play ball, enjoy their drills, and when the barrier springs they'll be just as eager to win as are their rivals. Don't get the ldeJ they are surfeited with triumpf.s.
 Mccarthy .saEsS he has no prob lem at second base, where Tony Lazzeri presided for so long: Don't worry about Joe Gordon-he's going to be all right"
 Gordon, the rookie from Newark, fields gracefully and covers more ground than old "Poosh-'em up did. but his stickWork isn't up to Yankee standards. He hit .280 last season.
 But Mccarthy isn't fretting: He takes a nice cut at the ball and, you never can tell, he may hit even bet ter in our league"
 Except for the pitchers, there are no other rockies around. There's a three-cornered scrap for left field between Jake Powell, Myril Hoag and Tommy Heinrich, and Billy Knickerbocker, the happiest man in camp since his escape from the St. Louis Browns, says he feels so great hell give Gordon and Frankie Cro- setti a battle for either second or short.
 Mccarthy figures couple of 6-foot tWirlers from Newark, Right handlers Joe Beggs and Alley Don- ald will more than take up the slack in the Yankee pitching. Beggs won 21 and lost and Donald copped 19 and dropped two. That's pitch ing in any league, and don't forget they play pretty fast ball in the International. Beggs and Donald look good to me"

Few Perfect Pin
 Scores Recorded

CHICAGO, March 29.-The diff ficulty of rolling a perfect 300 score in American Bowling Congress championships play is illustrated by the fact that only four men have accomplished the feat, knocking down the ten pins twelve times in succession with sixteen pound spheres over a thirty-seven year period. Billy Knox of Philadelphia, Charles Rinelie of Racine, Wis; Carl Mensenberg of Scranton, Pa, and Jack Carson of Fort Sheridan, H., did the trick.

CHANGE THAT WAS TOSSED
 AWAY EASILY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 29.- Russ Bauers, who is said to be a coming pitching star of the National league, came to the Pirates as a free agent. The Phillies once owned him but Judge Landis declared him free because the Phils had signed him as a sandlotter. Jimmy Wilson recommended him to Pie T'raynor, who signed Bauers for the Pirates. Later to his disappointment, Will son discovered the Phils could have bid for Bauers' services themselves.

3 Out Of 5 COunCilmen
 Constitute Majority

R. E. Hardcost1e was named by the Ketchikan City Council last week to the council seat left vacant by the resignation of Councilman Cliff Johnson when he moved from Ketchikan several weeks ago.
 The election had been blocked two weeks before by a minority vote of three to two against Hard castle. opponents to the appointment insisting that at least four votes were needed. At that meeting Mayor A. H. zeigler held in abeyance his decision as to whether the vote con- stituted an election and asked City Attorney Lester o. Gore for a de- cision.
 In a lengthy decision given to the council last week, MT. Gore pointed out he believes a majority of the ex- isting eouncilmen (three of five) could elect a sixth member in ac- cOrdance with the territorial laws. Accordingly, the formality of the election was undertaken again and Mir. Hardcastle declared elected

firm of Stock and Wright has been in Wrangell since last week getting preliminary work under way on the three and one-half mile extension of Wrangell Highway to Pats Creek. his firm having been the successful bidder on the project at s108,0O0. But one other bid was entered and that was at s22.000 above the Stock & Wright bid
 The extension for 75 per cent Of the way involves rock work and there is one particularly bad stretch of bluffs. The right of way was surveyed and cleared two years ago. Stock & Wright bave contracted to build the grade. put in culverts at all water courses and surface the road with crushed gravel, ready for automobile traffic.
 About 15 per cent ok the equip ment and the bunk houses, which are constructed in sections. haYs been landed at Wrangell. The rest of the equipment will be brought up within a short time from Ketchi- kan where the firm recently com pleted a road building job, an ex- tension to Tongass highway.
 $100,0OO Worth of Equipment
 Equipment costing $100,000 will be necessary to carry out the Wrangell extension. This includes two gasoline shovels. four caterpil- lars four trucks. four compressors and a rock crushing plant which consists of a power plant, two crushers. screens, eonyeyors and minor equipment.
 By the terms of the contract Stock & Wright are to have 240 days, exclusive of inclement weather to complete the project. They will push the work through as fast as weather permits.
 Construction of the road will re- quire a crew of 40 men after the work is under way. Six key men are now at work Three are drilling and three constructing the camp below Shoemaker Bay, where the exten- sion starts.

 In Fog Keene Island

The 6O-foot halibut schooner Ta- toosh, Chris Martinson of Seattle owner and captain struck a four pile dolphin at Keene island Tues day morning and sank in B. feet of water.

MUCH ROCK WORK ENCOUNTERED
 IN EXTENSION ROAD PATS CREEK

considerable work before a crew can start working to advantage.
 i few more operators of machin. cry will be here in about two weeks. All key men have been with the company for several years. The rest of the labor will be secured at Wrangel. if it is available.
 Besieged For Jobs
 MT. Stock says that he has been besieged by applicants for jobs since his arrival here. To each one he stresses the fact that he will take on only experienced men who can furnish reliable references as to their sobriety. He makes 1t known emphatieally that no drunks need apply and most men he states. cheerfully agree that he is right. even though they go right out and take another drink. They see the necessity Of his insisting on sober men to operate a hundred thousand dollars worth of machinery and the menace a drinking man is to those working with him.
 Stock & Wright seven years ago strengthened the north stretch of Wrangell highway. The liquor problem was a big one at that time, MT. Stock says, but 1t was small in comparison to what employers of crews have to contend with today, he declares.
 Ketchikan To Kodiak
 Since 1929 Stock & Wright have been successful bidders in public construction projects ranging from Ketchikan to Kodiak and totaling two million dollars. The road build ing projects include seven different contracts at Ketchikan, four at Pe- tersburg, four at Sitka, one each in Skagway, Hoonah, Juneau and Ko- diak island, six out of Seward and two at Wrangell. Tn addition they put in sewer and water systems at Douglas and Petersburg and a water system at Skagway
 All their construction work so far has been on the coast of south eastern and southwestern Alaska, but they are now bidding on h. terior Alaska projects.

Ketchikan Man Points Out Need
 Experimental Fisheries Lab

in the price of gold, Alaska's gold output each year never exceeds one third the value of its fisheries, cus- toms office reports showing gold exports for the year as being approx imately seventeen million dollars and fisheries exports fifty million dollars"
 Yet despite the great value of our fisheries little is done in the way of research, he declares. Methods in vogue for years of catching, hand ling and preserving our fish re- main unchanged with no investiga- tion made of the potentialities of the fisheries.
 Every big industry, he pointed out, as a matter of good business, uses from four to five per cent of it's income in a research depart ment.
 Laboratory Needed
 An experimental fish laboratory in southeastern Alaska" MT. Men denhall asserted, should be built in which new and improved meth ods of handling fish would be de- veloped; new uses found and ways discovered to utilize for food fish now regarded as scrap"
 Referring to the cheap east coast fish such as haddock and hake sold by fishermen for one cent a pound now flooding the market, he em- phasized the fact that our fish is better quality, but If we hold our own we must make changes in packaging and merchandising and , meet in better ways the keen com petition we encounter.
 "The last legislature, he con- tinued, passed an act establishing a Fisheries Experimental Commission to establish a Fisheries Experiment tai Laboratory in Alaska. The act listed a number of objectives and $2O,00O was appropriated to be- come available when matched in money, services or equipment by some federal agency. This gave the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries an out as it did not have to allocate new money for the project. But 50 far the government has been completely indifferent and the money appro- priated has been lying idle in Ter ritorial funds for nearly two years"
 If advantage had been taken at once of the provisions of the Act, MT. Men4denhall asserted. the foundation work would have been accomplished by now and a valuable. ' aid ta osw fisiASxiea esaahsishea-

J. W. Mendenhall, manager of the Ketchikan Cold Storage who was a business visitor in Wrangell the first of the week, stated while here that his plant which has a capacity between five and six million pounds, has operated in recent years at only 60 per cent of the business of for mer years.
 While I cannot lay finger de- finitely on all the causes of the de- crease" MT. Mendenhall said, lone factor has been the ten-day lay up imposed on halibut boats between trips"
 The first halibut fisheries con- servation program was started in 1880 by the International Fisheries Commission to conserve and build up the Pacific Coast halibut banks. The Commission has been successful in doing this and today, he said, there are few broken, trips suffered by fishermen.
 Forty-seven million pounds of halibut is the annual quota now allowed the Pacific coast Of the total catch there are twenty-two million pounds of halibut caught in Alaska waters that never touch All askan shores MT. Mendenhall point ed out.
 Seattle Landings
 Many owners of big halibut h1 tYCoH fn 1.-Two in Ketchikan, keeping their families there the year round, and bringing landings into Ketchikan, now live in Seattle. The boats come to Alas ka and fish but take their landings to Seattle, where the men stay for the ten day lay up.
 While the halibut quota has not been changed for some time the sea- son has been shortened. This year the season opened in Areas l and on April 15 and closed the last of July.
 The conservation program, he said, faces many problems. A pro- gram that is an advantage to one group or section, works to a disad- vantage to another group or sec tion, and it seems difficult for the commission to be fair to everyone.
 MT. Mendenhall has taken an ac- tive part in arousing interest in the need of an experimental fisheries laboratory in Alaska.

Among the many projects under a vocational school conducted for native boys and girls, is one to pro- vide some of the foods for the stu dents to which they have been ac- customed at home, according to Principal George T. Barrett.
 A smokehouse is now filled to it's capacity of 1500 salmon which are undergoing the first curing pro- cess preparatory to the second split ting necessary to smoke salmon in the Indian fashion. The smokehouse is a large struiture for it's kind and was built last spring entirely by the students even to the roof shakes.
 A short distance from the smoke house is the shining house, fash. toned of rustic and resembling a garden summer house. A Hume from under the floor carries the refuse into the nearby creek.
 Salmon Speared
 Several trips have been made re- gently on the Institute boat, the Blue Bell, to salmon streams where the students have had great sport spearing the salmon. The fish are brought fresh to the shining house where two native women from Wrangell have been busy in the practised job of splitting for the smokehouse. Several barrels of fish have also been mild cured
 The salmon project is being car ried on under the direction of Wal ter Rudolph and is in accord witt the program outlined by Willard W Beatty, director of education ant Claude M Hirst, general superin tendent for the Office of Indian Af fairs in Alaska
