out, IS they approached their

ed to see a coon run across the
road ahead of them, quickly
stopping the car, Bill getting the
dogs on the trail, while Al load

was securely in q tree. Now we
don't want TO criticize Al Seals

it took quite barrage to bring
down the coon, not with the
usual thug but with a splash.
While the boys were carried
away with establishment, the
creeks swift current carried
away their coon. Al was the first
to gather his wits and started
down the creek trying desper-
ately to fish the coon from the
water. After a mile chase he
succeeded and returned only to

JUNEAU ELk5 GIVE S2.0OO PLEDGE FOR
 JUNEAU LIBRARY

The Juneau Eiks Lodge last night pledged $2,000 to the Juneau Mem orial Library fund.
 This contribution, largest single sum given by any organization in the city. brings the long sustained drive down to approximately S10,000 remaining to be raised for con- struction of the $140,000 building.
 The Community Facilities Ser vices. a federal agency, is furnishing s70,OO0 of the total, the remainder heinz raised through contributions given by various individuals and groups.
 The library board, headed by B. Frank Heintzleman, regional for ester here, was overjoyed to hear of the large lodges decision, and drove with renewed energy toward shaping up the work to raise the remainder.
 The Elks previously gave Sl,5sO toward purchase of the land to situate the building near 4th Street and Calhoun Boulevard.
 The lodge, largest fraternal or ganization in Juneau, recently ob- ligated itself for a like amount S3,5OO-for purchase of an ambu- lance for use in the Gastineau Channel area,
 The pledge was made after ini- tiation of the Millionth Member Class of the BPOE, during which 36 new initiates were taken into membership.
 A few hours after the announce ment was made, the remaining sum to be raised was lessened still fur ther by a pledge from the Juneau branch of United Trollers of AL aska for s250 for the fund.
 The library board said that all large fraternal organizations in Ju- neau had now given pledges of varying amounts for the building, with exception of one. Numerous smaller groups have pledged lesser sums.
 The board felt no difficulty would he encountered in raising the re- maining money necessary, with the "teeter-totter" of the past weeks finally stilled. The amount to be raised hung at s12,000 for several weeks, during which time things looked dark for those pushing the project.
 Heintzleman, encouraged by this keystone" contribution, is prepar- ing to leave toward weeks end for Washington on government busl- ness. He will stop in Seattle on his return to visit large concerns loca~ ed there which do business ir Alaska, to ask them for varying amounts. These include wholesale houses, fish packers and others.

black cod travel in one or two stocks" which migrate from off, shore areas into the channels and bays where they are caught or are local "stocks."
 Solving this problem will give information on which to base re- yulation. If the fish travel in large stocks" the regulation problem would te of international scope, as in halibut fisheries but if the black cod are permanent local resi- ients, the regulation problem will oe local, Anderson said.
 One bit of information given by fishermen at the meeting Tues day night was that schools of foot long black cod flock into Aux Bay at certain times of the year.
 Tagging those young fish will help Us determine the migration habits of the fish," Anderson said.
 Meetings with trollers to obtain information on the habits of troll salmon-kings and silvers-are all so planned before a research pro- gram into those fisheries begin, he declared.

18th ANNIVERSARY

It was 13 years ago today. said one of Douglas older timers, August Aalto, who keeps a record of al, events on a calender, that the com- munity of Douglas was virtually burned to the ground, in a raging fire. Only a few homes were left, following an all night fire in a Taku wind. All business houses, ex- cept the Theatre were burned, al- so schools and churches.
 Since then the town has grown up again, except for many of the business houses. At least the pop ulation has almost doubled. With the coming year and major im- provements to the city contemplated by City Fathers, and Mayor Pusich, a boat harbor, water, sew CT improvements, and housing pro- gram, and the recently established Bureau of Mines, Douglas can look forward to being Alaska's incest residential town.

FISHERMEN HELP
 RESEARCHERS IN
 BLACK COD WORK

The Alaska Department of Fish cries will depend on information given by Alaska fishermen as back ground for its research program on troll salmon and black cod, Alaska s forgotten fish
 This was announced today by c. L. Anderson, director of the Ter ritorial Department of Fisheries, who said information given by fish, ermen when he and Robert T. Parker, new fisheries department research biologist, attended the joint meeting of the Deep Sea Fish ermen's Union and the Vessel Owners Association here Tuesday oroved the value of the plan.
 They gave us lot of informa- ton it would take us long time to gather" he said.
 Other meetings with fishermen in Petersburg and Ketchikan are planned for the near future. These will be held before the research program on black cod is begun, he said.
 Big problem for the researchers into the habits of the black cod is to determine whether Alaska's
