Almost without exception tht salmon streams in the Icy Strait district are very poorly seeded this year, Assistant Agent J. Steele Gull bertson of the Bureau of Fisheries reported today on his return from stream inspection trip on the U.SBF. Brant.
 The fish just simply didn't ap- pear in Icy Straits this season, Gull bertson said, earlier claims that there would be a late run being disproved by the present condition of the streams. The Icy Strait pack this year was more than 100000 cases shy of the 1888 total.
 Cannery operators who accom- panied Culbertson on stream in- spection included Art Woolf of Hood Bay, Frank Wright of Hoo- nah, Ole Sayre of the Astoria and Puget Sound cannery at Excursion Inlet, and Hans F1oe of the P. E Harris cannery at Hawk Inlet.
 The Brant is leaving tomorrow for Ketchikan to pick up Assistant Chief Seton H. Thompson of the Division of Alaska Fisheries and Acting Commissioner of Fisheries Charles Jackson at the completion of their cruise with the Congress sional Committee.

zIEGLER HERE TO DO MURALS
 FOR BARAN0F
Prominent Artist to Spend Several Weeks on
 New Commission

Eustace Ziegler, seven times a major prize winner at Northwest Artists hangings, and one of AL aska's leading artists, arrived in Juneau on the Yukon last night to do a series of murals for the Bar anof Hotel
 Ziegler will be here indefinitely on this commission, doing murals for the Gold Room, Bubble Room and Iris Room. His themes, he says, will be Alaskan, but their exact composition he hasn't determined.
 A recent oil he has completed of a man on horseback with two pack horses fording a swollen stream into stormy late afternoon skies will probably be incorporated into the murals somewhere.
 The oil in question is full of dominant action in water, swift clouds and moving m a n and horses. In mural, it should gain even more strength.
 ziegler, though resident in Se- attle. is Alaskan He came to the North in 1909 and since that time, though not always in Alaska has been as much Sourdough as any of us.
 In fact. he is more a Sourdough than a lot of us. Not just because he has trekked Alaskan trails near ly everywhere or seen the ice go out a number of times, but more so for his only noticeable eccen- tricity Cartists are supposed to have those things). Ziegler's eccentric ity" is rolling his own,' and his delft slim fingers make every weed in the same swift and sure fashion in which he yields his bold brush.
 At one time, Ziegler was named the artist west of the Mississippi to contribute a painting for a prize to the best chapter in the Ameri- can Artists Professional League. The picture was of Boys on the Yukon" and is hanging in the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
 A master of every technique, oil, water color and the rest of the mediums, Ziegler has one favorite painting, we believe, done in many mediums.
 It is known as Doing the As seSsment Work" paintings Of hard working mining men playing cards in the bunkhouse, reading magazines, writing letters-in short, doing everything except the as sessment work.
 Mining men love the picture and Ziegler himself admits he does, though he expresses little satisfac- tion with any of his work.
 He has a room and studio at the Baranof Hotel and will be with Juneau for probably four or five weeks.

1 Historic City 1 Undergoing Rapid Change

Old Sitka, the Historic City, has largely given way to new place of rushing taxicabs, congested living conditions and almost feverish busi- ness activity, according to Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff who returned re- gently from stay of several months at the Baranof Island community.
 Tt was hard for me to realize I was in Sitka,' the Alaska Historical Museum Curator said
 With 400 trolling boats passing at Sitka this season and with other activities contributing toward boom conditions. it has become impossible for newcomers to find living accom- modations, Father Kashevaroff said This despite the construction oi many new homes this year.
