ATOM BOMB SINKS
 NINE OF SEVENTEENTH SHIPS

At 1:35 D. m. PSF Wednesday, the second Army-Navy experiment. al atom bomb exploded under wat CT and sent to the bottom nine of the 75 target vessels anchored h Bikini Lagoon.
 First to go to the bottom was the veteran battleship (26,00O tonsl Arkansas which, with two lesser vessels just disappeared in to the mist that rose 5000 feet into the air.
 Seven hours later the 33,000- ton aircraft carrier Saratoga set tied to the bottom. Attempts were made by Navy tugs to beach the carrier but they were held at a distance by the great radioacliy- fly of the old hull.
 Five of the six subs submerged in the lagoon were found to be resting on the bottom
 This was the second time on the bottom for the Arkansas, which was sunk at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
 In addition to the two capital ships and five subs sunk, a yard oiler and a tank-landing craf' went to the bottom.

LOCAL FISH RUN
 PICTURE NOT BRIGHT

The local salmon picture looks pretty dreary at present, accord ing to Howard Raltzo, local Fish and Wildlife Service Agent
 Sockeye runs have been a fail ure on the Stikine and all lesser streams this year. He said investigation revealed that no sockeye creek has received better than a scanty seeding.
 No pinks are showing anywhere vet to speak of. Traps along Sum her Strait are catching sockeyes and echoes almost to exclusion and there are very few of those. The famed Colpoys trap had less than 1000 fish after the first 36 hours of fishing. An exception, he said. to the usual humpy situation is the fine run that has been and still is entering Anan Creek. Well over 100000 have entered this stream so far. Seiners in that vicinity are consistently getting around 500 70 1000 fish per day. A good early run of humpies has entered Snake Creek at Olive Cove during the past week also.
 Chum salmon have not appear ed at all we'll in any of the early areas and, he said, 1t looks like poor year for that species as nearly as can be told at this date
 Cohoes however. hold promise for a fine run this year They have appeared in unusual abund' ance for so early date at almost all the trolling areas. coming il particularly heavy at the more westerly stations The heavy TUT of immature echoes that furnished such spectacular fishing outside last summer will be coming inside to spawn this season. Small trol lers at Pt. Baker have been catch ing over 100 pounds per day late ly, Baltzo stated.

KEY TO COMMUNITY HOUSE
 NOW AVAILABLE IN TOWN

Key to the Shakes Island Com munity House, formerly kept at Wrangell Institute is now available in town, in the custody of the President of the Chamber of Com meree, James Nolan, for the pres ent.
 Word was received this week from Don Foster. head of the AL aska Native Service. that turning over of Shakes Island to the city for a city park probably would receive favorable action from the Native Service. This followed ae- ton at the last Chamber meeting when the Chamber decided some thing should be done about Wran- gell's No. 1 tourist attraction. Uu- der this set-up the city would take responsibility of the island and its up-keep. Key is being kept at the Den O'Sweets where it is Available when tourist boats are in. The Chamber plans to make arrange nents with Walter Shaddesty for showing tourists through the building.

REGULATIONS
 ANNOUNCED. EVIL SERVICE

A red hot flash from the Fish and Wildlife Service says that the fishery regulations for 1946 are finally on their way on a freight train headed for the west coast. Consensus around town was that they would probably arrive in Wrangell in time for the Christ mas holidays so that fishermen would by then be able to tell whether they had violated any of the rules during the summer fish ing season.
 This lack of printed regulations is particularly unfortunate this year because of the complex a. rangement for closed week-ends and post season extensions. These are as follows for our nearby areas, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service:
 The Stilline District remains open to gillnetting and trolling until 6 p. m. September 20, after which it is closed for the rest of the year. Gillnetters observe a weekend closure from p, m. on Saturday to a. m. Monday all through the season and in all dis tricts throughout Southeast Alas ka.
 Trollers have no weekend clos ues but all trolling, as we'll as all other forms of salmon fishing, will be prohibited this year from Sep tember 20 to October Is in south eastern Alaska, the EVILS said.
 Traps and seiners in the Sum Ter Strait District observe a week ly closed period of D. m. FRIDAY Ito 6 a. m Monday until August 5, after which they fall back on the old 36-hour D. m. to 6 a. m. Monday closure. The Sumner Strait District (except Anan) closes at g a. m. August 2S but provision is made for two later extension periods if the showing of humpies warrants.
 The Anan and Ernest Sound areas close August 24 with an ad- ditional intermediate closure from g a. m. August 21 to 3 p. m. Aug ust p.
 The North Clarence Strait Dis trict closes at 9 a. m. September 4 but here again provision is made for two 51-hour extension periods. In North Clarence the seines and traps will observe the long, 60- hour, closed week-ends until Aug ust 12 instead of only until Aug ust as in Sumner Strait.
 Weekend and seasonal closures in the West Coast or South Prince of Wales Districts are just the same as for North Clarence Strait above.

 Mir. Johnson opened the bid ding at l12 cents, the price obtain ed by the gillnetters last year. Mr. Nelson raised this figure to 13 cents and Johnson later matched this, as at previous meeting the gillnetters had voted that identi- cal bids would be accepted with the Association..sYot on which Luyer they would sell to at a meet ing following the bidding. This arrangement however, seemed nn- favorable. to the buyers so a vote Y as taken by the 26 membc present and it was moved Charles Michaelson and seconded by Harry Sundberg that the fish be awarded the highest bidder.
 Johnson and Nelson, however, did not raise the bid the required quarter cent and the bidding was closed. ..... :, ..-e ...''

members of the Gestapo who have
terrorized Norwegians for the
past five years. The German Ges-

been sentenced to die before a
firing squad while another Ges-

These exports include 81, 458

S 1t is doubtful whether the pres

account of lack of winter fodder,
although the butter ration in Den

two pounds a person, instead of

Population Shift
Noticed In Iceland

A considerable shifting of popu-
lation will take place in Iceland
as in other European countries
after the war Many women who
were married on the Continent are
now returning to their native land
with their children, mostly with
the help of the Icelandic Red Cross.
To this repatriation has been add
ed that of several hundred Ice
landers who return with foreign
wives and children from abroad
after period of study in Scandin-
avia.
We have no exact figures about
the opposite stream, but it seems
that about 100 girls have married
Norwegians stationed in Iceland
and are now leaving with about
200 children. About 100 girls have
married Americans stationed there
and most of these are already
settled. 1t Is estimated that al
together 100000 girls have mar
ried troops stationed in Iceland.
