preserving of fish is clean and efficient"
 There are no commercial fisher ies on the Stikine in Canada, but the natives take fish and game principally for food. Import of goods there is virtually prohibi- tive, shipping rates averaging S55 ton.
 The fisheries party returned by way of the headWaters of the Taku River, where a similar situation exists as to location of spawning grounds-these are in Canada, for commercial fisheries in the United States.
 Of the Taku area, Rhode said, This looks better as an available potential spawning area. We did not find such a large proportion of barriered streams-hut our aerial survey there was far from compre- hensive.
 You can't always tell from the air, nayway," he added And you never know how high fish can jump. We did get a general out line of where spawning is and is not favorable-we would like to put men there to check these find ings."

 LACKS QUORUM

Meeting last night on short mo- tice, the Juneau City Council lack ed a quorum, so could take no official action. The four members present did discuss, with some vehemence, details of increases in rates requested by the Juneau Water Company.
 Members were generally in favor of tipping the rate for single dwell- ings of various types by 50 cents, and even suggested slightly greater increase of one category of multiple dwellings.
 A $35 charge for a4 inch service in dirt streets provoked heated discussion.
 It is expected that the Council will be called for special meet ing to take action before the regu- lar session Friday night.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson being in official attendance at the re- ception aboard the Ontario, and Edward Nielsen, senior councilman, being absent, George Jorgenson presided.
 The other councilmen attending were J. A. Thibodeau, J. P. Christ ensen and James Larsen. Member w.. Burr Johnson is out of the city.

Fisheries Experts Survey Sfikine and Taku
 Spawning Areas

After examining the spawning areas around the Canadian head waters of the Stikine River and its tributaries, a party of fisheries experts returned Thursday evening with valuable information.
 This is our first investigation of that area" said Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska director of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, who piloted the FWS Grumman Goose. The party based at Telegraph Creek.
 Almost all the Stikine tributar- ies have become impossible" he said, "hy waterfalls, log jams on falls, rapids or beaver dams. Most of the spawning areas are in two main tributaries in the vicinity Of Telegraph Creek-the Clearwater, which joins the Stikine below Tele- graph, and the Tahltan River.
 "Preliminary investigation would indicate that fish cannot get to the lake at the head of the Tahl- tan. This might account for the diminishing run of sockeye-this year had the poorest sockeye run ever. at the mouth of the Stikine."
 The experts landed in Tahltan Lake and traced out brances at the lake of 15 tributaries. Most had natural obstacles.
 In the group were Clarence l.. Anderson, Territorial Director of Fisheries; w. A. Elkins, FWS Wild life Management Supervisor, and Dan Bates, fisheries agent at Ketchikan, to which place Jack Pegues had been given a lift.
 The fisheries men stayed at Telegraph Creek with Ernest Allen of the British Columbia Provincial Police, who is in charge of fisher ies for the district. They took him on the survey flight.
 The Alaskans found it a fine , game country-lots of sheep, goat, moose, chipmunks and horses -i with rainbow trout thick in the lakes.
 The visitors commented on the skill with which natives handle fish and game.
 They are an industrious type" said Rhode, and do nice work. There's just nothing usable left, when they get through with moose, and their handling and
