 SOLDIERS KEEPING kETCHIkAN HOPPING
First City Having Biggest
 Boom in Years, Bart Fifs. sIeft Reports

Hsa ra .H
 Business at Ketehikan is boom ing as it hasn't boomed for many years, it was declared here today by E. L. Bartlett, Secretary of AL aska, who returned yesterday after week in the First City, during which time he supervised the es- tablishment of an IVA regional office. f's
 The Ketchikan boom seems to be a combination of a splendid fishing season and business from . the nearby army base at Annette Island, Bartlett declared. Army men are in Ketchikan every week on furloughs, he said, and the cur rent novelty there is the sight of "Jeep" car, army property, run ming around downtown streets.
 Much interest is also being shown, he said, in the new vita min processing plant of Willis Le- bo at Ward Cove. During the week Bartlett was in Ketchikan, t h e price of dogfish livers for vitamin oil extraction rose from 25 cents pound to 30 cents, he said, and fishermen are enthusiastic over the possibilities of spending the fail and winter seasons fishing for scrap fish.
 A second vitamin processing plant will soon be put in operation near Ketchikan by Charles c. Dave, of Chicago, Bartlett re- ported. A vitamin capsule manu- facturer in the Windy City, Dave is establishing the Alaska plant as a source of raw material, he said.
 In this connection, invaluable aid to the processing plants is being given by the fisheries laboratory at Ketchikan, operated jointly by the Territory and the Fish and Wild life Service, Bartlett reported. At present, he said, Morris B. Stans- by, chief chemist at the labora- tory, is in the States hiring two new junior chemists, bringing the laboratory staff to total of eight research workers.
 Investigations on the part cf the laboratory are also going for ward in the matter of founding a spider crab canning industry Tn Alaska, Bartlett said,
