Reporting on
Pink Salmon

In connection with its study of
the current salmon runs in South
eastern Alaska, the Fish and Wild
life Service is collecting reports of
the daily catch of pink salmon by
each trap throughout the area.
From an analysis of these records.
an unbiased. objective measure OF
relative abundance is sought.
The summarized figures are av-
erage catches per trap per fishing
day, for each region listed. These
averages provide an approximate
measure of relative abundance Of
pink salmon, the most important
species in the area
In addition to this analysis of
trap catches, service representa-
tiyes have been carrying on con
tinuous spawnign ground surveys,
both from the air and on foot, to
provide information concerning the
escapement of pink sal m o n
throughout Southeastern Alaska
Briefly, these observations to date
are summarized as follows:
Icy Strait Ditsrict-Escapement
satisfactory in most streams and
particularly good in Port Fred
erick.
Western District - Escapement
good in streams tribuatory to the
east coast of Chichagof Island and
Baranof Island within Peril Strait;
inadequate on the west coast of
Admiralty Island and west coasts of
Chichagof and Baranof islands:
heavy in Tenakee Inlet streams.
Eastern District Escapement
generally satisfactory in streams
on east coast of Admiralty Island.
along the mainland shore, and
along the south shore of Frederick
Sound.
Sumner Strait District-Seeding
good in streams along north shore
of Sumner Strait, in Ernest Sound,
Bradfield Canal, Blake Canal, III
movia Strait, in lower tributaries
of Stikine River; eseapement poor
in most other streams of the dis
trict.
Clarence Strait District - rs
capement inadequate in most
streams.
South Prince of Wales Island
District: Escapement inadequate IN
most streams.

FILA. Head
Approves Loan

The first F. II. A. loan to be
approved by the first territorial
director of the Federal Housing
Administration was that of Joyce
Hay, Union Oil Company represen-
tative here, and took place at the
unuusal hour of IL p. m. Monday.
The approval of Hays applica-
ton for an r. II. A. loan to pur-
chase the George Bidwell home
here was made by Clinton c. Sta
pies of Pasadena, Calf, who has
just been appointed territorial di-
rector of the F. II. \. This office
was recently created for the first
time in Alaska.
Staples was aboard the SIS. Aleu-
tian when it locked here Monday
evening. He was on his way to
take over his new job and had
with him Hays application. AL
though the hour was late, Staples
figured he might as we'll start to
work right here in Wrangell and
|telephoned Hay. Together they
went to the Bidwell house and
Staples, after looking the place
over, made an immediate approval
He appointed out, however, that
this was by no means a regular
procedure.
Staples was accompanied on his
northbound trip by Roy MacKay
who has been assigned to the
same office.
Staples has had many years of
experience with the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, the War De-
partment and the Veterans Admin
istration. During the last war he
was administrative officer of the
California-Arizona maneuver area
and was responsible to the real
estate division of the Pacific Di-
vision engineer located at San
Francisco for the acquisition of all
lands either by purchase or lease
for maneuver purposes.
