Capt. Clark Returns
 Establish Home Here

Captain E. p. Clark, who left Wrangell in 1920 and Alaska in 1929, returned this week to again take up residence at Wrangel. He is now at the Wrangell Hotel but plans to move into a house shortly where he will be joined by his sons, Verne and Arthur.
 For the past nine years, Captain Clark has served as captain on yachts running out Of Los Angeles. In this time he had many interest ing trips to South America and Mexico. One Of the South American trips was with a scientific expedi- ton which went 300 miles up the Amazon river The trip was made through the Panama Canal, then home through the straits of Ma gellan. A trip to the South Seas and the Hawaiian islands followed the return from the Amazon expedition.

-EDIT ORIAL

To a community, the greater part of whose income Is derived from the fishing industry, the current salmon season is of especial interest Each and every inhabitant, whether he be fisherman, cannery worker, or merchant, has keenly awaited the time when it might truthfully be said, 'the fish have hit". With the season officially nearly at an end, this welcome phrase as yet can hardly be said to have been true.
 Eagerly the other districts have been watched, to observe whether there was any trend of the salmon which might apply to this district. First the Bristol Bay area was thought to be failure; but as seasons end approached, red salmon started in from the ocean in un- precedented quantities and an ex- tension by the Bureau of Fisheries allowed the salmon packers to can the largest pack in the history of that area. This was significant, thought many, and the consensus was that the fish in the Wrangell area would be late.
 Even more significant were the areas of Cook Inlet and Salisbury Sound, which at first appeared to be failures, but as the season drew near to a close, "the fish have hit'' became a true phrase.
 Of most interest was the Ketchi- kan district Here again the salmon run appeared to be a failure, and fisherman and merchant were of one voice in demanding an extension to the season if one could be justified The last day or so, the run appeared to have strengthened considerably, and an extension was granted. And during this last week, fishermen in Ketchikan reported that south of Cape Cross, for a distance of twenty miles off shore, there was solid mass of humpback salmon. These fish are headed for the spawning grounds of Southeastern Alaska. A further extension is being sought there.
 All of these incidents indicate a possible trend in the Wrangell dis trict and all eitizens whose hveik

Harriet MalstrOm On
 Eighth Alaska Tour

Miss Harriet Malstrom, Alaska representative of the Bowman Ho- tel, passed through Wrangell this morning on her eighth trip to AL aska and the Yukon.
 On each of her visits she has presented programs of favorite songs and monologues. Her present tour includes programs to be given at Whitehorse, Dawson, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Matanuska, seward, Ju- neau, Petersburg and Wrangell. The date of her appearance nere cannot be given definitely at this time, but it will be some time in October.
 Miss Malstrom recently completed a 5000 mile journey through Ore gon, Nevada and California. She ap- peared before audiences in many cities and sang on the air many times. In San Francisco she was feted by the Golden Gate Expos ition officials and appointed Am assador-at-large in Alaska and the Yukon for the San Francisco Worlds Fair next year.

hood depend on a good salmon catch requested an extension for this area. After cursory survey, L. G. Win gard, Bureau of Fisheries agent for Alaska reported that the Wrangell area had been fished out, and an extension could not possibly be jus tified; in spite of which there was considerable indication that all streams were adequately seeded to reproduce the run.
 On the last day of the Sumner Strait season, the salmon hit in large quantities in Affleck Canal The Bureau of Fisheries still could not justify an extension in the Sumner district.
 season in this area effectively ends tomorrow, Saturday, and no exten- sion has so far been granted. Keteh- ikan has an abundance of salmon the canneries are reported to have been swamped with fish-and one extension, with the possibility of an additional one, has been granted there. What about Wrangell? Tag ging experiments conducted by the U S. Bureau of Fisheries from1925 to 1890, indicated that salmon lib- erated from Dixon's Entrance re- quired from five to twelve days to reach their spawning streams in Wrangell's Clarence Strait district. And past experience has shown that after the closing of the deadly ef- ficient salmon traps in the Ketchi- kan area, salmon arrived later in this area, often in sufficient quan- titles to glut the streams.
 What is the Bureau of Fisheries to do about Wrangell? Here is a whole town that will be pinched financially this winter if the sal man pack is not more satisfactory than it will be should the season terminate tomorrow. In all fairness to everyone, the Bureau should watch the situation very carefully. allow this district several days open season after Ketchikan closes, and do all in it's power to take care of community which depends upon those salmon. to the limit of honest justification.

Alas. Commerce Gains Nine Million Past Year

st1tsti s from the official records reveal that a fine advance in bus iness within the Territory, as well as between Alaska and the United States for the fiscal year 1898. to- as the business of the past year amounted to nine million dollars more than in the previous year
 The figures show that the in bound and outbound commerce of Alaska for the fiscal year ending June 30, '193S, aggregated SPA 607,258, as against $114,923.1 3.169 for the fiscal year 1897, or an in crease of $9,684,O8y.
 @The value of shipments of mer- chandise from Alaska to the United States for the iscal year, 1888. to- taled $81,906,036 as against $76,- 448,062 for the previous fiscal year, or an increase of $5,457,974. Ship ments of merchandise sent to AL aska from the United States for the fiscal year 1888 aggregated s42.7O1, 222 compared wit hS38,475,107 for the fiscal year 1897, or an increase of s4,226,115.
 The pleasing part about these trade statistics is that the balance of trade remains in favor of the Territory and for the fiscal year just closed amounted to $39,204,81 This was over a million dollars in excess of the fiscal year 1887
 It is believed that large shipment of mining machinery, salmon can ming machinery, as well as building materials, were primarily responsi- ble for the four million dollar in crease in the value of shipments from the United States to Alaska
 Increased shipments of gold, plat mum. fisheries products, and furs accounted for the increase in value of shipments from Alaska to the States"

 ALASKA METHODS OF FISH PACKING

The ARB fleet of nine boats as we'll as many others, are out fishing. or buying fish on the grounds or packing into Wrangell. This year MT Brueger is shipping the choicest sockeyes and echoes to Prince Rupert and canning some grades here He has shipped this season a half million pounds mild cure about equally divided in CO., hoes and king salmon
 Trip Is Revelation
 The trip to Alaska Mir Soderlind states. was a revelation to him. The chief differences between the con ditions he finds here and what he expected to find are the climate the magnificent scenery and the ex- tensiYe scope of the fisheries. He expected a bleak and barren land snow and ice and cold He found a beautiful archipelago of green mountain islands cutting the North Pacific to form inland seas, with ev- cry turn, no matter what method of transportation. revealing new beauty of scenery. The ice he has seen lies in great glaciers elinging to mountainsides a veritable river of ice" and the snow is on occasion al mountain peaks
 Magnitude of Fisheries
 The magnitude of the Alaska fisheries. he says, cannot be vision ed in Sweden. The only species of salmon in the Baltic Sea is king salmon. There are no fish traps, but other gear used. troll. seine and gill net is the same as here. The Baltic king salmon is of superior quality to Alaska king salmon and is too valuable to mild cure or salt. It is smoked for the luxury trade and sells wholesale at prices. the greater part of the time. from S1.5O to S2.O0 per pound, seldom is it cheap CT. Previous to smoking, the salmon is so slightly salted that it will keep bhAs AN0 Ol AAAA hGy eAllNI II 10 smoked.
 MT. Soderlind's firm imports heavy shipments of mildcure salmon annually from the Northern Pro- duets Company of Seattle, a com siderable portion of the shipments being furnished by MT. Brueger from Wrangell. Sweden lets mild cure salmon ill duty free, but i'm poses a heavy tariff on canned sal- mon. Canned goods, generally, MT. Soderlind says, are not popular in Sweden. It is a land of rich farm ing country and the people prefer their foods fresh. there being, in fact, quite a pronounced prejudice against the use of timed foods

Three miles of placer leases on Boulder Creek in the McDames area of the Cassiar Mining District have been bought by S. c. Harrington and Joe A Walsh from Percy Pea cock and Jack Wheaton, Captain Harrington disclosed this week up- on his return from Boulder The purchase price was $85,000, of which Peacock receives $6O,000 and Wheaton $25.O00
 The deal followed extensive drill ing and prospecting for the past summer by Mir Walsh, well known mining operator and driller in the North since 1904. His activities have been carried on mainly at Dawson, Mayo and Atlin and more recently in California. Captain Bar rington with a crew of men has spent the summer prospecting on Satea and Boulder creeks. He has been interested in various mining properties in the Cassiar since he put the Harrington fleet of Hazel B boats on the Stikine river in 1916 ground of such promise and proven worth as Boulder.
 Pay at Grass Roots
 Working by hand methods and small crews Peacock, who last year struck pay from the grass roots, will clean up from $25.O0O to $30,00O on between five and six thousand square feet of bedrock, Captain Bar rington said, while Wheaton's cleanup from nine thousand square fses of 1edssck will run from $74.-

 SECURE DATA
 INNER HARBOR

J. s. Culbertson, associate en- gineer for the U. s. Army Engineers department at Seattle, and party, arrived this morning to spend three Or four days in Wrangeu on a sur yey of the inner harbor, securing data for the dredging program re- quested by the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce
 The work will be done from a scow 36 by 10 feet rigged up for wash borings, to investigate the characteristics of the bottom of the sea floor and particularly to de- termine if rock is involved, as rock costs approximately twenty times as much to move as a dirt floor.
 The main equipment Of the scow is a three-quarter ton pump which eXerts loo pounds of pressure to the inch for jetting. The water pressure forces the harbor material away from the mouth of the jet allowing it to penetrate the bottom.
 With MT. Culbertson are W. A. Anderson, survey man, whose home is in Petersburg, Don Jackson of Seattle, survey man Howard Cleary, Seattle, inspector, and a Petersburg crew, Wm. Gribble, Fred McGilton and c. 0. Parks.
 The party have been working in Wrangell Narrows for the past two and one-half months. From here they will investigate the harbor possibilities around Metlakatla.
