COAST GUARD FINDS NO TRACE OF MISSING
 KET(HIkAN TRAppERS

A Coast Guard aircraft from An nette Island carried out weekend search of the Kupreanof and Kuiu Islands for two missing Ketchikar trappers. They were not found.
 Both trappers were reported tc have left Ketchikan lates in Novem- Der, Coast Guard headquarters here said today
 Clifford Durgan was reported to have left Ketchikan November 2e aboard his troller, the 31A207, to trap on Kuiu and Kupreanof Is- lands. His mother, who asked Coast Guard aid in finding him, said she had received no word from him since.
 The searching aircraft also look ed for Richard Melang, who left Ketchikan November 26 aboard the mailboat Discoverer.
 Melang went ashore from the Discoverer at Cape Pole the same day. He had an 11-foot Skiff with an outboard motor and was to trap in the Coronation Island area and report to his brother in Ketchi- kan by radio from either Cape Pole or Cape Decision at two week fn- tervals. He failed to report, Coast Guard officials were told.
 Coast Guard spokesmen said that information from Warren Cove was that Melang had left Cape Pole for Coronation Island during the worst storm of the season with only four inches of freeboard show ing on his 11-foot skiff.
 Melang's skiff had been rented from a Ketchikan agency. The skiff was painted black outside and red inside.
 The Coast Guard search aircraft was set to continue combing the area again today.

 DRAMA E NOW
 CApIT0L'5 BILL

For sheer thrills, mounting sus- pense and heart-gripping intensity, there has never been picture like Command Decision" the explosive, Star-studded drama now showing al the Capitol Theatre.
 When you consider that the all- male cast of this new M-G-M of- fering is headed by such top film personalities as Clark Gable, Waltei Pidgeon, Van Johnson, Brian Don levy John Kodiak, Charles Bick- ford and Edward Arnold, you have an idea of the importance attached by M-G-M to its film version oi the smash Broadway stage success.
 The dialogue is incisive and sharp, the pictures backgrounds have tense realism, and Director Sam Wood has kept his action at a sus- tained pace without submerging the arresting personalities of his principals. As a result, Command Decision" emerges as moving and powerful photoplay which everyone will want to see.
 Love that Beautyl" was pro- duced by Jay Bonafield, directed by Edward J. Montague, super vised by Burton Benjamin, mar rated by Dwight Weist, written hy Sumner Lyon, photographed by William Deeke, edited by Isaac Kleinerman, recorded by Francis Woolley, musical supervision by Herman Fuchs. This picture is added to the top billing.

NATIVES ARE TO
 VOTE SOON, PLAN
 OF RESERVATIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-tR-- Three native groups in Alaska have cheduled elections on Interior De- ,artment offers to give them reser- 'ationS totaling more than 5000 square miles.
 Assistant Secretary of the In- terior William E. Warne told @ re- porter elections will be held Feb. { or 8 by the l50 Eskimos of Shung- nak and Kobuk villages on the proposed 2,300-square mile reser- vatlon on the Kobuk river in Arctic Alaska, and by the 3S5 EskimoS at Barrow for establish ment of 750-square mile reserya- ion on the Arctic slope.
 The 360 natives of Hydaburg village in Southeast Alaska will vote April 24 whether to accept 100000 acres on Prince of Wales and Sukkwan islands as their res aryation.
 If they accept the reservation offers, the natives will relinquish their claims to other Alaskan areas. The reservations cover only small part of the total claimed by the Eskimos.
 Advocates of the reservations say the specific land allotments would open land outside to settlement and thus hasten development of Alaska. Opponents argue that assignments of large tracts of land to native ownership would hinder settlement ot the Territory.

AN ANNUAL AFFAIR
By Richord H. Wilkinson

I sat in the grandstand and
watched the sulkies line up. They
made pretty sight. The band was
playing, the sun shining and
everybody was happy.
Then the race started. Around
the track they went, six of them.
Burnside's best, stretching out
their necks, in perfect stride. HON.
ing Pigeon led up to the half, then
Jasper Bush's horse came abreast
Of him, then Hector Dryson came
abreast Of them, then Fergus Cross
came abreast of them.
It looked like a neck and neck
affair, which struck me as being
strange. Then suddenly I stopped
yelling and just stared. Coming
down the stretch the four lead
horses had slowed down :. and
by cripes, IS yards from the finish
tape, they all stopped!
1t wasn't until late that night
that I got all the details. Dana
Easton had bribed Charlie Cole
well and Jasper Bush to pull their
horses so Hector Dryson could win.
Hector was a long shot and would
have paid plenty.
But 1t didn't work that way.
Why? Because Jake Fletcher
had figured what Dana Easton
was up to and had secretly and
individually bribed the other
four racers to hold in their
horses.
With all six drivers bribed the
race simply came to a standstill
and nobody finished.

out, "just proves my contention

Best Glow Patterns

With anglers and tackle manu-
facturers constantly trying to i'm
prove and perfect lures that will
consistently take fish, the task and
the cost assume expensive proper
tons.
Therefore, it is a definite boon
to anglers when the bigger tackle
houses, through their own research
facilities which make exhaustive
tests possible, can find out for the
angler, without additional expense
to him, just what patterns and
types of this or that lure are most
effective.
For instance, James Heddon's
Sons has provided for the plug
caster an important service by
testing and determining what col
or patterns are most likely to get
results and have made this in
formation public.
In their own "Spook Ray" River
runts they have found-after a

conditions-that there is more to
the new fluorescent lures than just
the glow which is activated by
ultraviolet rays.
Heddon's says frankly that some
fluorescent lacquers are not dur
able and will lose their fluorescent
qualities within a comparatively
short time; but in their tests a
lacquer was compounded with
properties that make it become a
part of the lure and is as durable
as regular plug finishes.
Discovering that some colors re-
pei, rather than attract fish, the
company discarded these and con-
centrated on those colors which
were found to be especially at
tractive to fish. But the warning is
issued that even tn Sc colors
should not be used in excessive
amounts.
So, to save the angler time and
money in selecting fluorescent lure
patterns, here's these which the
tests revealed to be most effective:
White body, with red "shore min
now pattern and red stripe on bel
ly and back; face red, eyes black on
orange body.
White body with green "shore
minnow' pattern; green stripe on
back and belly; face pink, eyes
black on green background.
Here then, according to the test
results, would be the only two pat
terms the angler using the new
glowing bats" would need to as
sure himself that he had done all
possible in the matter of using fluor-
escent lures to help fill his creel.
And, as most fishermen know by
now, these lures give best results if
used at twilight and dawn.

Fly Fishing Hints

The season of the fly-rod man be-
gins to reach its crest in late sum-
mer and early autumn, but begins,
really. along toward the end of May
or early June. This is true, because
it is then that successive matches of
flies become more numerous and
the fish turn to this most delectable
item as favorite part of their diet.
The fly-rod angler should observe
most closely the streams he fishes.
When he is expert enough to see and
interpret in terms of fishing tactics
what is really happening in and on
the stream, his chances for a full
crecl are immeasurably enhanced. It
is at that stage in his development
as an angler-and only then-that
he will be able to know which tech
nique and lure will bring him the
desired results.
He should determine if the trout
are lunChing on the bottom, or at
the surface. This will give him
much of the information required
in determining whether to use live
or artificial lures, wet or a dry
fly.
The angler should attempt to
learn if the trout are chasing min
nows or hunting for crawfish. Or
are they grubbing for stream-bed
larvae? Are they swapping up part
ly-grown flies that are milling to-
ward the surface, or jumping for
adult insects resting on or swarm
ing over the pools?
The successful fly-rod angler
will take note of all these condi-
tons before bending on a fly or
turning to his bait box or bucket.

that publishers would be inclined

Strange as 1t may appear, such
is not the case. All recognized news

not avoid, for several very sound
reasons.
When this newspaper accepts sub
scriptions it is entering into con-
tract with readers. An unwritten
clause of that contract assures that
the issues readers will receive will
contain an established amount Of
news, editorials, features and ad-
vertising.
There is another side, too, that
the publisher keeps in mind. It is
that of costs. To maintain qualified

ing departments, is expensive. It
is increasingly so if the space each
