Most of the increase goes into manu-
featured products.
EGCS-Mainly steady to slight
ly higher prices are probable. Due
to the exceptional earliness of pull
lets in 1949, production probably is
already close to the spring peak. It
probably will begin to shrink by
early April Low prices are stimulat-
ing consumption. Buying for storage
is much larger than a year ago, al
though it is below average.
POTATOES Prices probably
will continue steady to weak. Febru-
airy stocks were IS percent larger
than a year ago and only 2 percent
less than the 1947 record. Due to
smaller government purchases, Janu-

percent less than last year The gov
eminent probably will have to buy

The world food situation also is

CATTLE-Increasing supplies Of

Announcement was made by c. L. Anderson, director of the Alas ka Department of Fisheries. of a series of meetings to be held with the salmon trolIers of Southeastern Alaska to discuss the future bio logical research program of the de- partment.

 Anderson said the purpose of these meetings is to get acquainted with the fishermen, to gather in formation and ideas on the subject from the men who are actively en- gagged in the troll salmon fishery; to inform them of the work now being done by the coastal states and British Columbia. and to pre- sent a general outline of the fu- ture research program of the Alas ka Department of Fisheries.
 On these trips Anderson is being accompanied by Robert R. Parker. fishery biologist recently employed by the department.

SAYS ORGANIZATION VITAL

Jordan outlined what can be ac- complished through organization so that the trollers have better con- ditions, better product on the mar ket, better handling of fish by ooth fisherman and buyer and bet ter pert facilities.
 Only through organization, he said, can they bring pressure on the legislature to see that the tax money from the gasoline, boats and licenses is returned to the fisher men in better port facilities nayi- gation aids, weight and scale in spection and in beneficial organi- zations such as the Alaska Depart ment of Fisheries.
 When the Alaska Fisheries Board was set up by the last legislature, every group but the trolers were represented on it. Jordan said. The union is trying to get one of their representative appointed in the fu- ture.
 There was a lengthy discussion of the fishing of herring for com mercial purposes in the inside wa ters of Chatham Straits. Many told of specific instances of how many salmon are killed and wasted in the taking of herring. The trollers : are interested in seeing that an intensive investigation is made to determine whether the herring fish cry in the inside waters of South eastern Alaska is of more value than the salmon and halibut fish cries it has cut into.
 Mrs. Doris NJ Barnes and James Nolan, candidates for the territor- lial legislature in the election next

)nlg Taxpayers Cen Vote in April
 Bond Election

April Il is the date set by the city council last week for the bond election to finance the new school addition.
 City Clerk Robert Wiokman called attention this week to the fact that only persons whose names appear on the tax rolls are eligible to vote in this elee- ion. He advised those who are in doubt as to their eligibility to call at the City Hall and check.
 The city two years ago voted a 1ond issue of $S5.O00 for a school. hat the bonds were never issued As the question appears on> the Hot, this election will cancel the
 5000 authorization and substi- ate enc for S150.O0O. the amount needed for the school now. A big difference, however is that the 3 1000 issue authorized two years lgo would have been repaid out of he eity's general tax funds, where Is the S150,000 issue to replace 1t @ill be paid from the Territorys 5 -ebacco tax. Thus, in effect, the town of Wrangell will not have to lse a cent of it's own money for any part of the school financing.

Many Attend
 TrOllerS Meeting

Over 75 people attended the Trollers' Unions open meeting Wednesday night at the old Elks Hall.
 Wilhelm Jordan. local branch agent. was chairman. and he in troduced Jack Mannery. executive board member. and Carl Weidman. who both came from the Juneau branch of Local 100 of the United Trollers of Alaska
 Mannery told the group of tine new setup Of the union since they received their own charter from the National CIO.
 Clarence Anderson. head of the Alaska Fisheries Department. was then introduced and he outlined the plans of this department r the coming season. He said the de partment decided to conduct re search into the troll salmon fishery and black cod fishery because lit tie work was being done on them by the Fish and Wildlife Service. and the resident fishermen were the most interested in these two groups.
 He then introduced Robert Par ker,- one of the two biologists the department has hired to carry on this research program. Bob. as he asked to be called. told the group that there were two ways the tag ging of salmon could be accom- Dlished The first is to charter a. boat outright for the season. The second is for him to go out on Va rious trollers. pay them so much for his food and buy the fish for the prevailing price from the boat owner that he tags and returns to the water
 The trouble with the first meth cd, Anderson pointed out, is that the territory is still short of fun'is and it might be three or four months before the fishermen would be paid
 Parker also said he was think ing of working out of Pelican and Craig to do the tagging. This would give him fish from the southeI n and northern sections of s. E. Alaska
 Director Anderson told of mak- ing the proposal to the Halibut Commission to allow the trollers to sell a percentage of their incident ally caught halibut. The commis- sion said absolutely no" for they had no way of enforcing it. Since then the groups have been talking about the possibility of the trollers registering and clearing from one of the custom stations as the black cod fishermen do.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

An economy wave was sweeping the Congress. Word from the nat ional capital was to the effect that Alaska appropriations might find some tough sledding ahead. Public works was one of matters receiy- ing some critical attention. Fol lowing passage of the law last year setting up a $7O,OOO.OOO pub lie works program for Alaska over a five-year period. Congress appro- priated S1.000.000 in cash and s4.000,000 in contract authority to get the program underway this year. Need and demand was so great that this amount proeessed and approved during the past few months. With a load of other projects requested, the General Services Administration, wh h handles the public works program, went before Congress asking for $12,00O,00O in cash and S13.0O0.- 900 in contract authority for the next fiscal year beginning July 1, four million of the cash to cover the contract authority for this year. First snag was hit in the House Appropriations committee this week when Congressman al bert Gore of Tennessee charged it was too much money to be spend ing in Alaska on basis of popula- tion. He contended that $2TO,o 90 for a sewer and water facilities at Homer with 194O population of 32 was out of line. He lambasted a nine million project for Fair banks. for which that city has al- ready bonded itself for four and a half million to carry its half of the cost, again referring to the l94O census figure for that town.
 The fact is, of course, that the public works bill did not pass the last Congress, of which Congress man Gore was a member, on basis of Alaska's population in 1940, or at the moment. but rather with the idea of developing Alaska and building up it's population The haggling now would indicate that economy is definitely in the con- gressional air. and when such a situation arises it always is the Territories. without voting repre- sentation in either branch of the Congress, which first feel the axe. Undoubtedly money will be appro- priated to carry on the Alaska public works program, but it may not be enough to meet the Ter ritory's needs during the next fls- cal year.

summarizing the events of the past year, the report told of the response of the citizens of Wrangell in coming forth with enough mon oy to pay off d S4,0oO debt, thus forestalling a shutdown.

The board gave credit to James Nolan and Mrs. DoriJ M Barnes for getting a bill through the legislature to collect a bill of $722 against an old pen sioner.

Bids totaling $731.745 for air port construction in Alaska were opened last Friday in Anchorage by Aeronautics Director Tony Schwamm. work to be undertaken during the summer months. Lytle and Green was low bidder for Dill lingham at s145,000, Kotzebue t s2OS,225 and Fort Yukon at S123.- 200 J. s. Ramsted got SeldOvia at s47,2S0 and Ninilchik at s23,- D40. Skagway sent to the Munter Construction company on bid of sI13.773 and Palmer to Palmer Construction for $121,227. This is beginning of the coopeatiye pro- gram between the Territory's new Department of Aviation, created by he last Legislature, and the Civil Aeronauties Authority. Up to a third of the gasoline money collected under the gas tax goes to the aviation department for air port work. Under the present pro- gram. the Territory pays about third of the cost of projects with the CAA putting up the balance.
 After a week of bright. clear. almost spring weather. ex-Wran- gelIites in Juneau were getting picnic fever. After doing some ex- pioring and discovering that there were at least 31 families in the capital city who had at one time called WrangelI home, including thasa who still call it home some of the instigators felt a Wrangei Picnic could very well be one oi the biggest events of Juneau's sum mer season. A committee was be ginning to form on the right. Al least three reporters were clamor ing to cover the event. They had heard wrangellites. short of water use other substitutes.
