Dr. A. w. Stewart had corner on the fish market in the Terri tory over the weekend, and he caught large share of the fish in Southeast Alaska off Aaron Is- land as he casually left Aux Bay and returned a few hours later with seven of the finest, incest kings seen by man or beast in these parts.
 Saturday afternoon the Doctor decided to take a jaunt into the waters for the king salmon and returned shortly with two. The ease of the accomplishment is as- founding in comparison with the struggles of the average fisherman in pursuit of the fighting game fish.
 Roger Bailey caught what is per- haps the largest king hooked this year as he dropped trolling gear into the waters of Dotys Cove Sun day to return proudly with 48- pounder
 Off the vessel Wanderer the dol ran yesterday and were hooked, but the kings were elusive. Kell Lars son landed two of the fish and only one more was caught.
 Trollers bring in the report that kings are running by the thou- sands on the outside of the is- lands, but they are not getting into. the inner waters where Ju- neau. fishermen can hook on. Sports fishermen are worrying slightly about the slowness of the run so far, but nevertheless are still try ing for the giant fish.
 Trying like true sportsmen and fishing with light gear, the men on board the Bobby G in Dotys Cove found the salmon few yester- day but said the ones getting on the hook were wild and furious. Thus much loss of lines and lead- CTS.
 Off Eagle River Alex Russell landed a 24-pounder yesterday
 Two small kings, running II and 26 pounds, were brought in by the Carter party.
 Little Carla Carter, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. c. c. Carter, caught her first fish yesterday, and what if it was a rock bass? The little ] lass was as proud as a cat with sextuplets, keeping check on the fish box to confirm the fact that

warmly at her. After all, when
