BIC PACK IS EXpECTED IN
 BRISTOL BAY

SEATTLE, July 18.-R-The Bristol Bay salmon pack should equal or exceed the l943 pack of I.275.212 cases of reds by the close of the season next Wednesday, a report issued by McGovern & Me Govern. Seattle salmon brokers, said today. Last Saturday the pack had reached 1O24,260 eases.
 A tentative estimate placed the packs value at approximately s29,- 329,O00 The report said the size of the pack was good news" as other red salmon producing dis tricts, including Kodiak Island and certain Alaska Peninsula sections are far below average"
 Owing to the late opening dates in Southeast Alaska" the report added, the red run there will have undoubtedly escaped by the time the fishing season opens. "
 h view of the present world wide demand for canned salmon, it is believed that the price of S23 case can be well main tained," the report concluded.

 Two bulldozers were being used in completing a new firebreak around Kenai, in case the blaze should threaten again in that area. Dense smoke, which has blanketed the peninsula, forced a plane to halt the spraying of the swampy area to control the mos quitos which torment the fire fighters. 1s
