Pacific Motor Boat Magazine, tE< Pacific Fisherman and Log, mari time magazine published in Sar Francisco, will soon appear with ar- ticles favoring the project-and yet there are many Alaskans and Sit kans who have as yet not heard oi the project.
 The only other possible fresh water moorage on the Pacific Coast is in Seattle where the vessels seem to be unwelcome. It is estimated that Lake Washington can accomodate but 50O vessels. whereas the esti- mated capacity of Lake Redoubt is approximately 1000 vessels.
 Lake Redoubt is eleven miles long and one and a half miles wide-with an average depth of from 20 to 800 feet. The height of the lake from salt water is estimated to be about nine feet with a rocky ledge fifty by seventy-five feet separating it from Redoubt Inlet. It is completely sheltered from all winds, being sur rounded by high sheer mountains. A single lock should be adequate to raise the ships from salt water and could be built at relatively low cost.
 Rodoubt Lake is but six miles from Sitka, the entrance being midway between Goddard Hot Springs and town. From the head of Silver Bay to the head of the lake there is a Forest Service trail and another trail from the other end of the lake to Gocdard which can be traversed in a half hour.
 The Rotary Club has appointed a committee, headed by Stockton Webb to push the proposed moorage pro ject, but as yet the general public has remained uninformed and unin- terested in all such a project would mean not only to Sitka but to the Territory.
 The estimated payroll for 500 ves- sels mcored in Lake Washington was given as $2,oo0,00O. The growth and prosperity of Sitka would nat urally add to the growth and pros perity of the Territory. The boost 10 the school tax fund alone would make the project desirable.

SITKA. Alaska, oct Special Correspondence) The Harbor Inn provement hearings held at the USO Wednesday morning and afternoon were attended by over TO interested people. plus members of the S.J.S. Junior College. Col Conrad r. Hardy. Army engineer and George H. Kurtila, representative of the Civil Works Branch Seattle Dis trict Engineers, expressed satisfac- ton at the preparation of outline for the hearing and the unanimity of opinion On the necessary improve ments presented at the hearing.
 Harbor Improvements requested at the morning hearing were: break waters between Harbor, Aleutski and Turn Islands, to eliminate surge from ocean swells and strong cur rents: removal of the large rock in front of the cannery docks and rocks around the city flots; dredging of waters between the cold storage plant and the Standard oil dock for Forest Service postwar projects.
 At the afternoon hearing recom- mendations on improving Olga and Neva Straits were presented. Con census was that the above channels should be strengthened and dredged to depth of g feet at mean low water
 Arguments favoring the two pro- jects were given by trollars, halibut fishermen, the lumber industry and tourist interests. Particular stress was given to the protection that would he afforded to all boats and the enlargement of the cramped waterfront area.
 At the beginning of the hearing it was explained that Crescent Boat Harbor was not to be included, the project already having been ap- proved and work to be commenced as soon as Congress got around to making the necessary appropriations. Many individuals have worked well on the preparation for the hearing but particular appreciation should be expressed to Mayor 2, M. God dard for his work in organizing, crystallizing and publicising the pro- ject.
 The proposed Redoubt Lake fresh water moorage fer government yes sels which are to be decommissioned shortly seems to have had less pub licity and understanding locally than it has had in large Coast cities.

Sher- rcd was the man who lowered the flag for the last time over the post Receiving his discharge in Bremen ton that winter, he returned to Sitka and opened barber shop, a business he continued until his death.
 MT. Sherrod had enlisted in the Marines against the wishes of his parents while a student at DePau University in Indiana. However after his establishment of business in Sitka a reconciliation was effect cd and his mother joined him here for few years.
 He is survived by his widow, Elsie Sherrod whom he married in Sitka.
 Funeral services were conducted by the American Legion, followed by interment at the National cemetery.
 Lee Hugh Wilms, local bartender and a member of the American Le- zion, the Elks and the Moose lodges, passed away at the Pioneer Home Hospital Monday after an illness of several days.

 Funeral rites were conducted at the Legion Dugout by the Elks Ledge with Moose brothers acting as pallbearers. Interment was made at the National Cemetery.
 The Webb-Forbes Machine shop has purchased a 65x40 foot lighter from the city with the intention of building mobile machine shop this winter Their present quarters will be repossessed by the owner, Bill Sarvela, recently returned war vet .eran who before his enlistment in the Navy, with his father John Sar- vela, had run the machine shop for many years. At long last Sitka will be adequately supplied with mach inists. We will have the Baranoff, the Sarvela, the Webb-Forbes and, at Jamestown Bay, the Crueger Ma chine Shops. And, when Chuck Peterson returns from the South Pa cific, we will have another automo- bile garage.
