Nephew Of Mayor Fisk
 Is Naval Observer With
 Terrifying Dive BOmbers

with their fingers crossed. : Shortly after the diver levelled away, a cloud of white smoke puff fed up within the confines of the target. This was repeated 21 times by the 12 bi-planes and nine single engine monoplanes engaged in the drill
 The fliers swooped down in per feet formations, each dropping his shell a split second after his pre- decessor had moved off.
 Rapidly
 The planes were diving in such rapid succession that at times it ap- peared as if one would crash into another before it was clear of the target.
 The ships travelled at a terrific speed as they came down, but once they level off ana begin to climb they slow down considerably. Hence the appearance of a traffic jam af- ter they have laid their eggs.
 From the deck of the ferry, it ap- peared that the planes were drop ping their bombs almost on top of those which were laid by the pre- eeding ship Many times one puff of smoke would appear within the smoke of another bomb.
 It was impossible to see the bombs leave the racks in the planes bellies with the naked eye. In fact, had it not been for the burst of white smoke which occurred as each mis- sile hit the water there would have been no way of telling whether or not the planes were dropping bombs.
 It was a spectacular, startling and rather terrifying exhibition of the efficiency of civilizations latest method of offering herself up as a sacrifice to mars.

Alaska Line Net $326,O69 In 1889
 Hearing Reveals

SEATTLE, July 12-The net in- come of the Alaska Steamship com pany from operations during 1889 amounted to $326.069. the smallest profit since 1884, the United States maritime commission reported dur ing a hearing on the company's re- quest for Increases in freight rates The report was one of the many ex- hibies in the hearing which was held this week
 Another exhibit showed that the Northland Transportation company made a net profit on operations of s121,00O in 1889
 G. N. Carlson. accountant for the maritime commission, compiled the finance exhibits which also devote many pages to a survey of the exact type of cargo carried by the com pany and the miles travelled in the Alaskan service. The report includes the number of passengers carried and the assets of the firms.
 No such exhibit was entered re garding the Alaska Transportation company.
 L. ". Baker. manager of the Al aska Steamship company. gave gen eral testimony telling of the com pany's problems in serving Alaska. He reeited statistics showing that Alaska is one huge expanse of sea sonal variations a steamship com pany encounters as regards the nun Der of ports of call. He asserted his firm "does all it can to encourage and help the industries of Alaska
 Labor Problems
 Baker described labor difficulties encountered by his company since the maritime strike of 1884. He said the difficulties have grown more acute since 1938 when eannery em- ployes came under unions.
 Baker said, Before 198S. when our cargo was loaded by union long shoremen and handled by a union crew of men in Seattle without com ment we were fairly certain the car go would be discharged in Alaska without difficulty. Now We never know whether we will be able 10 discharge cargo when il arrives at cannery ports in the Territory'
 Illustrating the difficulties the cannery labor situation has brought about, Baker said the Dellwood had

 The local lads gathered Wednesday night at the monthly meeting of the Elks Lodge. While Brother George Gunderson reposed in bed at the hospital. the boys took advan- tage of his absence and did him dirt-verbaly, at least. The trus- tees strutted around like the pro- verbal fine-feathered buzzards. and practically demanded compliments on the appearance of the hall, which has been remodelled extensively, and is a real credit to the Lodge. The new indirect lighting system was the subject to much discussion. While all present agreed that 1t was a great improvement, the Terrible Three-Cunningham, Lindeman and Bjorge, are going to experiment a little more.
 Exalted Ruler Winston appointed a large assisting committee to work with the Social and Community Vel fare squad to get big things done in connection with the Annual Charity Frolie.

Just what about these dive
 bombers of which so much is
 heard from overseas Van Fisk
 Bretherton, nephew of Mayor
 Van H. Fisk of Wrangell, could
 tell you for he is a naval ob-
 server for Commander Ryan in
 a squadron of U. s. dive bomb
 CTS, but he's probably too busy.
 However, his mother. Mayor
 Fisk's sister, sent the following
 clipping from a Norfolk, Va,
 paper which gives a vivid des-
 Cripti0n as written by Charles
 Reilly:
 Dive bombers, Germanys most re. cent contribution to the wholesale slaughter of mankind, visited Hamp- ton Roads this morning and gave 3 terrifying though harmless exhibi- tion of mans latest method of des- trOying man.
 Circling from heights which made them hardly visible to the naked eye, a squadron of 21 United States (thank GodD Navy bombers shelled an objective located just off the point of the Naval Base with accur- acy that was positively amazing.
 According to the crew of the Old Point Ferry from which this obser- yer witnessed the exhibition. today marked the first time Navy planes have engaged in such practice in Hampton Roads.
 Surprise Attack
 As a matter of fact, the mock at tack came as a complete surprise. No one had notied the approach of the bombers, which were flying so high that the noise of their power full engines was not heard.
 Then suddenly there was a screaming sound. From out of the clouds, a short, blunt bi-plane was seen power-diving straight down, it's nose centered directly on the target. The plane seemed to fall for several minutes and as it continued to thunder earthward the noise set up by its motor and the wind rush ing through its rigging increased in volume until it was screaming sym phony appropriate accompaniment for the macabre mission of this modern engine of destruction. Breth- erton was observer on this plane flown by Commander Ryan.
 Down, down. the plane continued to rush until it seemed as if it would plunge into the water. Final ly it Ieveled off, much to the relief of the spectators who were stand ing by in open-mouth amazement

WILLIAMS BOYS CATCH
80 LIB. CATFISH

Glen, Clayton and Dale Williams,
boys of high school age, near Du-
rant, captured a 80 pound catfish
Sunday, which they describe in their
own words, as follows:
Sunday afternoon about three
O'Clock, while tending to our boat,
due to the rising river. we really
landed a big one We-Glenn.
Clayton and Dale Williams, went
down to tie up the boat and after
playing around while we discoy-
cred something down the river
about 40 feet. 1t looked very fun
ny at the time. because just about
one foot of the fish was all that
could be seen.- He was lying on
his side and one fin and small por-
ton of his side was all that could
be seen. Glenn was the only one OF
us who had boots on, and after
arguing with him for about three
minutes, we got him to go out and
see what this strange thing was.
Upon lifting it out of the water, we
discovered we sure had big fish.
We brought it up to the house and
weighed and measured it. 1t mea-
sured 40 inches in length and
weighed 80 pounds This is no fish
story, it is the truth
The boys are unable to account
for the tame condition OF the "m1n-
