 Salamaua, large Jap base on New Guinea, was subjected to a cOncen- trated attack by Allied medium bombers which placed 94 tons of Augmentation and demo it T bombs on enemy installations in IT minutes. Sharp ground fighting broke out at Bobdubi, five miles southwest of Salamaua and in the area northeast of Tambu Bay. Two engined bOmbers in a night attack dropped bombs direstly on parked motor transports ana on the bar racks and airdrome installations at Koepang, and the adjoining Pen foei airdrome on TimOr.
 In the Tanimbar Islands, long range fighters heavily strafed en- emy occupied villages.
 ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN Southwest Pacific-Precise lowlevel bombing that crashes upon the Jap antst in the jungles just 50 yards from our own troops is speeding the American offensive against the im- portank Munda air base on New Georgia Island in tns central Solo mons. Daily since the present drive started on June 30, the communi- que from Gen. MacArthur's head quarters have reported the bombing of the Japanese at Munda. A week ago more than 200 planes dropped 186 tons of explosives in the heav- fest raid ever made in the South Pacific, The Thursday communique reported a Alton raid. But the number of bombs dropped is only part of the story. It is reported that a daily gain of two hundred yards is considered as remarkable as that many miles gained on the European and African front. Des- bite such barriers, our soldiers gained 500 yards one day this week and latest reports placed them 2,10O yards from the Munaa Airdrome.

Arnt SOrSet Dies Suddenly

Up and around town Friday, Arnt Sorset long time resident of Wran- gell, was stricken last Saturday morning at his home and passed away a short time later. Death was due to a heart attack.
 Funeral services were held Tues day at the Presbyterian church with the Rev. Ben F. Judd, Jr., officiat- ing. Burial was in Wrangell Mem orial Cemetery. Pail bearers were Andy Johnson, Leo Mccormack, James Nolan, Charles Moore, Fred Cunningham and Oscar Carlson, all old time friends.
 Sorset, long prominent in this community, was born in Norway in 1888 and came to Wrangell in 1910 and had maintained continuous res idence here since that time, taking a leading part in the activities of the town, For 20 years he served an the town council and was given sole credit for getting the present new modern school for Wrangell. With other sources of possible rev. enue for building the new school exhausted, Sorset was assigned from the Council to go to Juneau to see what he could do. He came back with the money, loaned by the Ter ritory from the Pioneers funds.
 For years owner and operator of the market in the building now oc- cupied by the City Meat Market, sorset was one of the towns out standing leaders. Never, say his former associates, was there a time when he would not close up his own business for a short time and go out and attend to some matter for the city which needed attention.
 Said one business man: "He was the most public-spirited man | ever saw"
 He retired from business several years ago and had been in failing health much of the tune since. SeV- eral weeks ago he had been con fined to his bed for nearly month and had but recently gotten out around town again prior to his fatal illness.
 Surviving are his widow, and daughter, Cherry, of Wrangell and one son, Arnt, Jr., of Ketchikan.

INTERESTING STORY OF TAKU AND STTKINE TREK
 IN ALASKA SPORTSMAN

Everyone who knew the North said it would be impossible for two city boys to trek from Juneau up the Taku River, across to Telegraph Creek. and down the mighty St1k- inc River in early spring before the ice had gone out. But Bert Richard son and Ebert Wood accomplished that impossible journey through snow and ice and made their way down the Stikine in a homemade cedar skiff almost in the midst oI the spring breakup. Bert Richard son tells, in wilderness Trek, in the August issue of The Alaska Sportsman, of this extraordinary journey to satisfy his childhood dream of living like an Indian in a rough and perilous land. The story is written by Miss Genevieve May berry, Wrangell school teacher.
 The Alaska Game Commission has a big job to do in keping the popu- lation of Alaska's game and fur bearing animals above the danger point, and controlling predatory an- imals as we'll as lawless hunters and trappers who, in violation of sportsmanship and good sense, dis regard the laws written to protect their own interests. "The Caribou are Losing Ground" written by Ed na Walker Chandler and published in the August number, is straight forward account of the problems of conservation of one of Alaska s greatest resources.
 Oscar H. Lay testifies in "Are- tic Blizzard" that a blizzard from the Bering Sea is a fury of wind and snow in which a man can cas- fly lose his life. He tells of the worst blizzard he's encountered in 23 yea rs in Alaska, andhow Penny, his lead dog, saved him from freez- ing to death.
 There's no better trout fishing in the world than that found in South eastern Alaska, and no place that's more nearly paradise for a camera fan. In Trout Fishing Party" Wal ter Weston tells or trout fishing expedition to Karta River, and ac- companies his vivid story with ex- cellent pictures.

James HarVie Taken ByDeath

James Harvie, S5-year-old Wran- gelI man died Monday morning at about 1 a. m, victim of a heart att tack. Although he had not been in good health for some time, his death came an unexpected shock to his family and many friends. His wife is in Petersburg where she un- derwent an operation for appende- citis little more than a week ago.
 Harvie was born in Petersburg in the fall of 1910, son of MT. and Mrs. S. N. Harvie who short time later came to Wrangell and have since been residents of the town. Harvie went to school here and in September, 1941. was married in Ketchikan to the former Miss Al berta Abrahamson, of Juneau. Be- sides his wife and parents and a sister, Mrs. William Stokes, of Wrangell, the deceased is survived by a seven-months-old son, James, Jr. The younger Harvie was associ- ated with his father in the Board way Canning Company.
 Funeral services were held We'd nesday afternoon at o'clock from the ANB hall and were under the auspices of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, of which James liar vie was vice president. The Rev. Ben F. Judd officiated and inter- ment took place in the family plot at the local cemetry.

committee of the House he will travel over it on his return to Washington. On other matters per taining to military activity in the Territory he also had no public comment other than to say that had the military acted upon the sound advice of the late Gen. Billy Mitch ell that Alaska was the most stra- tegie place in the world and his own admonitions to Congress dur ing the last 10 years that Alaska should be fortified it is portable no Japs would have landed on Al- aska soil Handicapped as they were, however, a wonderful job has and is being done by the Army and Navy, he stressed.
 On his present trip north, the Deelgate plans to see at first hand the military installations.
 Great Production Strides
 On the general war picture, he said an undreamed of job was being done in production. Despite obstacles of various kinds, the American na- tion has become an even greater ar- senal of democracy than any one believed possible in such a short time. There is nothing comparable with it in the history of the world he said. As to the wars duration, he said observers in the national capital were guessing at anywhere from two to six years, but that no one could closely predict. Personal ly, he said he didn't have the the faintest idea and that there were no prophets in the Military Affairs committee who were willing to hazard a guess. He did say the pie ture was much brighter but warned against over optimism as there is lots of suffering and work ahead to gain victory.
 Outstanding Personages
 Of the many illustrious persons who have appeared before Congress in his 10 years in the House of Representatives, the two outstand- ing Delegate Dimond said, were Madam Chang Kai Shek, wife of China's generalissimo, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain. Some members of Congress were not overly enthHs- iastic when Churchill appeared on the scene, he recalled. Tke old isolationist spirit was still exiGtant But after Churchill, hands grasp ing his labels, had delivered his ad- dress, spiced with sparkling kumor and pungent phrases, the Congress of the United States acclaimed him. No foreign person, with the single exception of Madame Chang Kai Shek, has ever won such tumultuous applause from the Congress.
 Madame Chang Kai Shek, he des- cribed as one of the great women of history. Brilliant, well poised, speaking with great candor and charm and on one occasion in the Senate, speaking entirely without notes, she overwhelmingly won the representatives of the American people.
