Pilot Barr Missing 6 Days Located
 At Fortymile River

A plane was fitted with supplies at Fairbanks Tuesday to rush to the aid of Pilot L. F. Barr, forced down at Middle Fork on the Forty mile river while on a flight from Big Delta to Chicken on Thursday of last week. The missing flyer was sighted Monday night by Pilot Jim my Dodson, former Ketchikan ayi- ator and well known in Wrangell, who was among the several flyers searching for Barr.
 Dodson reported seeing Barr on an open hillside. Unable to make landing Dodson flew as close as he could to the grounded plane and saw the word grub" painted on a wing tip. On the fuselage were markings saying "Joseph's Village" |" indicating that Barr, badly in need of food, had intended to hike to the village which is 20 miles away.
 Barr, was flying his ten-place Pilgrim monoplane. He had no pas sengers but had load of drum diesel oil. Pilots believed when Bars plane was reported missing. that if he had

crashed his chances of coming out standing up" were slim as drum fuel oil cargo would be thrown for war into the cockpit.
 Barr, a happy-go-lucky man, who never seems to have a care in the world is known to other pilots as a smart flier," and though the out look for his safety seemed gloomy they felt that with any chance at all he would be resourceful enough to get his plane down.
 Forced down in the Wolf Lake country near Atlin a few winters ago, and smashing a propeller, Barr fashioned a new propeller with a jackknife and adhesive tape, trued 1t perfectly and flew in with his stub of a prop and a patched wing.
 Forced down a number of times with wheels on soft snow, Barr has made skiis for his plane from barn doors and boxes with which to take off.
 Barr moved to Fairbanks last spring after flying two years be- tween Juneau and Atfius

Two Glaciers Beneath
 Libbyville Cannery

Al Anderson returned Wednesday morning from Libbyyille where he fished for Libby, McNeill & Libby the past season. His fishing partner was Charles Early who stayed on to help load the company steamer Bon- ita and go to Seattle aboard the ves- sel.
 The cannery put up 168,000 cases of red salmon, Anderson said. No cannery in the section was prepared for the record salmon run and there was a wild scramble for cans and cannery workers. The weather was good, there being but one stormy day and as result but two fishermen were lost during the sea- son.
 Libbyville is described by Ander- son as abounding in mosquitoes, but insists that his descriptions of their size and ferocity would not admit him to the famous Liars Club, be- cause everything he said is true.
 Every provision is made for the comfort of the fishermen and can- nery workers at Libbyville. The food is good, bunkhouses are steam heated and there are plenty ot shower rooms. Water IS supplied by three wells put down in varying depths to 1000 feet, in which the drilling penetrated a glacier not far underground, then eighteen feet oi gravel in which lay vast beds oi clamshells and under the gravel a second glacier.
 The men are able to work al top speed for long grueling hours because the season is so short, but it would be impossible, says Ander son, for men to stand up under tht work for a very much longer period

CHAMBER COM. BENDS EVERY EFFORT
 TO SECURE HARBOR IMPROVEMENT

ed today, to secure dredging of the harbor to make an inner basin hay ing the same depth of water as exists at the outer end of the har- bor This would utilize all the har- Dor space" He explained that un- der existing conditions one-half, CT nearer two-thirds of the harbor is wasted at low tide Proper dredging would provide anchorage for 300 trolling boats and still have a fair way through the harbor.
 FairWay Thru Harbor
 IL is proposed, by advocates of harbor improvements. to provide space for the larger boats behind the breakwater where the present floats are now located and for the bay from it's head at the light plant to the entrance to be kept clear for a fairway for airplanes to land.
 There is a growing need for seaplane base whereby planes can land and take off in sheltered wa ter Mir. Barnes pointed out adding that the geographical contour of Ebuliu Hal DoI ID sutu ludl II liAIs project were completed 1t would af- ford sheltered landing for seaplanes and ample room for a fleet of 300 smaller type power boats"
 The chamber of commerce. sup ported by the city council. is bend ing every effort toward harbor de- for the benefit, primarily of small boat operators and planes. although directly and indirectly all in the district would benefit
 Sum Inadequate
 Last year an appropriation of S6000 was secured from Territorial road funds for the construction of a basin for small boats. It was found that the sum was inadequate to re- move the type of muck from she harbor floor at that point and the project was discontinued after $2OOOI had been spent by the Territory The remainder of the appropriation Is still available until the middle 1f March after which the only way. 1t may be retained is through anI act of the legislature for re-alloca- ion.

 Inspector Yurayich, who has charge of foreign airline service for the department, foreign" being the term used to designate service out side Continental United States, was reported by the Juneau Empire as expressing himself well pleased with the initial flight and foreseeing great possibilities for it's develop ment as further communication and airport facilities are developed.

Campbell, of the chamber harbor committee. and A. Barlow, representing Wrangen trollers. met the vessel to confer with Colonel John c. Lee of Portland. Oregon.
 Colonel Lee, who is divisional engineer for the North Pacific di- vision of army engineers, came north to investigate river and har- bor needs. passing through Wran- gell aboard the Columbia on July 25th At that time he arranged to investigate local harbor needs while the Aleutian, on which he was booked for the southbound trip, was in port at Wrangell.
 Harbor Data
 The Wrangell men left at the boat for Colonel Lee, blue prints of the harbor showing the dredging project the government finished in 1936, an outline of the inner har- bor, aerial views, an engineers blue print of the first proposal of inner harbor development showing that has been at work on the project for some years, photographs of the harbor. and a number of lett ters on the subject.
 The letters included one from J. l NJ. Wyekoff, forest ranger, who stated that the government float at the breakwater reserved for the use of the Alaska Game Commission and Forest Service boats, was satisfac- tory for the present from a mooring standpoint. but that a mooring in the inner harbor would make it much easier for people to get in contact with officials they needed to see aboard the boats.

 Escape Gas Explosion

Ken Halvorsen received first and second degree burns on his face and neck. and second and third degree burns of both hands and arms to his elbow, in an explosion aboard his seineboat Norah c. Sunday.
 The accident occurred when Hal vorsen was starting the engine to leave the Standard Oil float after having taken on gas. There was no apparent reason for the explo- sion but il seems reasonable to Halvorsen that il must have come from gas in the bilge.
 Halyorsen had a great deal Of good fortune with his misfortune. Though deprived of any chance at seining before the close of the sea son and sustaining painful burns. it seems miraculous that he escaped with his life and 1t was by the merest chance that Mrs. HalYorsen and their two little girls were not aboard as they had planned to be.
 The flames were quickly subdued and three days work in the boat shop will repair all damage incurred on the boat.
 The Norah C was bought last year from the Lawrence Case estate by A. R. Brueger. who in turn sold to Halvorsen this spring.

Jury Fisheries Case Finds Haynes
 Guilty On Two Counts

The prosecution outlined the evi- dence, after which the defendant, acting as his own lawyer stated to the jury that he had not caught any fish, nor sold any fish. That he had made repeated efforts to buy net to splice out his beach net Qegal only in Wrangell Narrows) had bought seine at Union Bay on July IS and was out to get corks to make up a legal size net, when he had engine trouble and was delayed in getting back to Lake Bay where he had left his skiff and seine. AS to not having a gear license his cx- planation was that when he left town he did not know whether he would need a license because it looked doubtful if he could find a net to buy.
 Witnesses Testify
 Witnesses for the government were Capt. Daniel Drotning, Ted Hethcock, Capt Jensen, Wm. New comb, all Bureau of Fisheries of fieials and Mckenzie McDougall, cannery watchman at Lake Bay.
