Jack O'Conner. Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission was in Wrangell for a few minutes this morning on the FWS Fair child patrol plane and was met by local Wildlife gent Howard Baitzo who discused the recently eontro- versial trapping season with him.
 II was originally understood, by regulations. that trapping would be open this winter on marten and mink. A week later this was re- futed and it was stated that it was an error in the regulations and that an amendment would be pas sed to close the season.
 This morning MT. O'Conner gave his private opinion that the sea son would be definitely open on marten and otter next winter. even If mink trapping should be closed by such an amendment. However, he pointed out that the poor fish ing this year is developing a lot of pressure to have the mink season left open, too Even persons, he added. who previously wanted the trapping sea@9n closed are chang ing their min g.

NEW CLOSURE TIMES ON FISHING ANNOUNCED
 FOR THIS DISTRICT

The following wire has just been received from the Regional Head quarters of the Fish and Wildlife Service at Juneau by Fisheries Management Agent Howard Baltzo in the Wrangell office: ."Following announcement made by M. c. James, Assistant Director, Fish and Wildlife Service In ac cordance with the provisions of section 201.21c of the regulations governing the Alaska commercial fisheries, announcement is hereby made that for the purpose of com- pliance with section 201.9 requir- ing that traps be made imperative within 24 hours after close of the season in all districts of S. D. Alaska area where commercial sal mon fishing is now permitted IS defined as one hundred twenty hours after the end of the fishing period specified under paragraph c(2) of the sections pertaining to closed seasons in such districts. Notify all interested operators in your district and give the usual publicity
 This means, Mir .Baltzo said, that the wire along the small heart of the trap can be left intact for five days after the close of the last stated extension period n- stead of having to be cut down within 24 hours as formerly. This action is probably taken so that traps can be left in place and car- able of being fished again in case heavy post-season runs occur even several days after the last eXten- sion period.
 MT. Baltzo has compiled the fol- lowing table to how the close of the trap seasons as originally des- cribed in the regulations and tke new closed season after which the provisions of section 2O1.9 must apply:
 Ernest Sound and Anan Dis trict- Original closure, August 31 at 6:O0 p. m; present closure, September 5.

COST OF ELEPHANTS
 VEXES CIRCUS

DURBAN, South Africa One of South Africa's leading showmen, William Pagel, is complaining that the cost of elephants has gone up with the cost of living.
 Before the war, the circus man says, young elephants, about feet 6 inches tall, could be bought for $500 each; now they cost that much for each foot . in height.
 q searched far and wide through out India for a good elephant but those I could have bought would have cost me a fortune,'' he says.
 In east Africa he found elephant prices more reasonable and bought seven of them together with two hippos and two pink pelicans.

BALTIC REPORTS ON
 SALMON SITUATION

Rumors that fish were beginning to come in in great numbers were blasted today with a report from Fisheries Management Agent How ard Baltzo. of the Fish and Wild life Service after a survey made by him of the fish situation. Mr. Bal tzo said:
 Much as it pains Us to say 50, We can report no bright spots n the present dreary fish outlook Chum salmon have been struggling into many of the bays lately, in small numbers, but the important pink and humpback salmon OF which the success of seines, traps and canneries depend have not yet shown in strength anywhere.
 Our greatest hope is that per haps the run is extremely late. II seems that the F&WS is much more favorably disposed this year toward the granting of extensions however late, if the fish show SC there are still a couple of weeks or better to pull something out oi the hat.
 "A heavy run of echoes hit the trolling stations at Cape Pole and Point Baker early in the week out the recent storm brought that to temporary halt Gillnetting on the river has been slack lately with the bad weather and adverse tides.
