STEAMER ALASKA x BACK ON RUN;
 NEW EQUIPMENT

The Alaska, again to be operated between Seattle and the Southeast Alaska ports of Ketchikan, Wran- gell Petersburg, Juneau, Haines,
 kagway and Sitka by Northland Transportation Company, resumes her service sailing from Seattle at 10 a. m. today, Succeeding sail ings from Seattle are scheduled for each second Thursday there after.
 The Alaska was laid up January 31 for a thorough and complete overhaul of equipment, machinery and accommodations All passen- ger quarters and public rooms were renovated and painted. In addi- tion to the overhaul and renova- tion of a more or less annual na- ture, while she was laid up com plete sprinkler system was install- ed which adds to the protection af- forded by radar gyro-compass, di- rection finder and fathometer.
 It should be noted that the AL aska was the first American Flag passenger vessel to be equipped with radar, that greatest of all aid to navigation. Now it may be said she is as safe as human in- genuity can make her as she re- turns to the service of the people of Southeast Alaska.

The Wet !.
and the
Hungry

Fishing is now slowly coming
into its own through the Cascade
and the Blue Mountain area. The
upper lake area also produced
some good catches over the past
weekend.
Wilbur Bunce, Larry Hender-
son and B. c. Brown all of Pas
CO made excellent catches of
bass, perch and crappies at Pa
cific lake which is about six
miles out Of Odessa or about a
total Of 103 miles from here ov-
er good highway. Some of the
bass went as high as two pounds
and the perch about one pound.
There were large catches MOTTO
ed by these three among the few
who were fishing at Pacific this
last week end. Some were made
from shore, but the best fishing
is out about thirty feet from
shore. Boats are available at this
lake and it is a very beautiful
spot to spend a weekend outing.
CYou can cut the family in on
this one)
Limit catches Of rainbow and
silvers were also made at Deer
lake which Is about eight miles
beyond Pacific lake. Deer lake Is
down in rather deep canyon
and is rather difficult to get .
boat into, but 1t can be done.
There are no boats available at
Deer lake
Both of these lakes depending
upon the kind Of fish you WANT
ought to be good this coming
week also.
There are many lakes through
out this entire region q. some
of them without a name !.
where one can find excellent pam
fish as well as trout.
Ed Drury and Mr.. McWhirter
of Richland took some nice trout
from the Kliclkitat last Sunday,
but reported that the water was
pretty high, and that they had
to work for their catch. One
fisherman staggered out Of that
region while they were there
with five day limit Of one hum
dred trout some of them
were good sized fish.
The upper Walla Walla has
fallen a lot and Is now clear and
should promise some good fish
ing in the very near future. The
upper Walla Walla is on the Ore
gon side, so an Oregon permit is
necessary. The Tucannon river is
still swollen and muddy from
heavy rains in the area

that farmers take note of the sizes
Of the young broods Of pheasants
and quail, to try to estimate the
number Of birds in the average
young brood, and to telephone
him the information they get.
Mr.. Kershaw said the rainfall
here of SIS inch Tuesday night,
although a heavy one, was not
as heavy as few nights previ-
GUS when az inch fell. He said
