Pink Run Fair
 As Season Opens

With approximately 225 men and women employed in and around the. Far West Cannery here, the salmon packing season got under way in earnest this week.
 Although the run of pinks start ed slow this week compared with last years record run, the week end showed a steady build-up Of both trap and seine-caught humpies. It could be termed a flair" run.
 The almost deserted floats of the small boat harbor testified to the efforts being put forth by Wran- gslla fishermen to get their share of the fish.
 Over 160 persons are employed in the cannery itself, and counting the trap men, boat crews and fish purchases, the payroll was running close to 5000 daily here in Wran- gell, according to A. R. Brueger, operator of Far West.
 We don't expect to equal last years pack of 123,O00 cases." Brueger said, but indications are that the season will be Just as good as two years ago"
 The 194S pack was 6s,OO0 tails.
 We have every reason to believe the season will be a success" Brue- ger said. He has been canning fish here for the past 15 years and was in and around Wrangell several years before that in the fish busi- ness.
 One of the Brueger boats the Northland, has taken 17,000 cases to Anacortss in four trips so far. She was taking on a load this morning. Skipper Thor Hofstad makes the trip south in about three days in the newly oysrhauled yes sSl
 Superintendent Finer Ottesen's crew has just completed installa- ton of second fish elevator With the completion of the new ware house and other improvements, all work is handled with greater ease.
 And, to add the touch of com fort, one of the most popular spots tt the cannery is the coffee shop, presided over by neatly aproned girls, always ready with a fresh cup. Pride of the Brueger staff, the kitchen earns it's keep many times over by keeping morale high.

73 MORE LOTS AVAILABLE
 UNDER SMALL TRACT ACT

ANCHORAGE = Following close upon the elimination of approxi- mately loo acres of land from the Tongass National Forest n r Ketchikan, Lowell NJ. Puckett, re- gional administrator, Bureau of Land Management, announced this week that he had signed a classi- fication order, effective August 10, making 73 lots available under the Small Tract Act for home and cabin sites.
 This action opens two channels through which persons who have held use permits on the lots from the Forest Service may obtain title. Puckett said. They may proceed to perfect their claims under the homesite act, if qualified, or they may apply to lease the land under the small tract act and at the end of one year may apply to buy the land at an appraised price.
 Under the small tract act no spec flied period of residence is required. Those who are occupying land un- der permits issued by the Forest Service have a preferred right over all other applicants.
 Those qualified individuals who plan to proceed under the homesite law, but who will not have com pleted sufficient residence by Octo- Der 26 to make appliction for pat ent, are required to file notice Of such claims with the Anchorage land office on special forms, before October 27.
 Veterans of World War II will be given a preference right under the small tract act for those lots which have not been covered by permits from the Forest Service. All applications received by the An chorage land office between August 10 and 10 a. m. August 30 must, under the regulations, be consid- cred as having been filed simul- taneously, and conflicts will be set tied by drawings, George Lingo, manager of the land office. pointed out. Applicants are not required to be present at the drawing which will be held in the land office. Lingo said. Veterans of World War II have a further preference period extending through November 1850. All applications under the small tract act must be accompanied by s1O filing fee, which cannot be returned except to those veterans unsuccessful in a drawing.
 Application blanks are available at the U. s. Forest Service office in Ketchikan.

Few citizens of Alaska have de- voted more energy to the public good than has Andrew Nerland, president of the board of regents of the University of Alaska.
 MT Nerland was elected to the board of regents in 1928, and has been president of the board for the past 16 years.
 In fact, had it not been for MT. Nerland's persistence, the Univer- sity might still be in the talking stage" He believed so firmly in a school of higher learning for Alas ka that he ran for the Territorial Legislature back in 1917 on the platform An Agricultural College and School of Mines for the Terri tory"
 OnA this ticket he was elected by the voters of the Fourth Division, and went to Juneau to battle for an appropriation for his ideal. He talked long and hard, and, with the help of others the 1917 legislature passed an appropriation bill of $60,- 900, which gave birth to the school.
 It looked as if the college would have fine sailing. But the 1919 leg silature (minus MT. Nerland, who had decided not to run failed to ap- propriate funds necessary to open the college.
 So Mir Nerland ran again in 1921. was elected, and persuaded the legislature to make $42,0O0 available to complete the college building, hire 0 president and fac ulty, and open the doors to stu dents. Mir. Nerland has kept his hand in ever since.
 Andrew Nerland was born in Nor way 79 years ago, and came to the United States as a boy. He stam- peded to Dawson in 1898, as a member of the firm of Anderson Bros. and Nerland. He was promi- nent in civic activities in the Yu- kon Territory before coming to

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Real contest of this off-year cleo tion campaign may develop to be that for commissioner of labor be- tween incumbent Republican Henry Benson of Juneau and Democratic Nominee Ross Kimball of Fairbanks. Both won their nominations in the April primary handily, Benson de- teating Ray Beach of Juneau and Kimball knocking off Al Owen of Anchorage But in comparative vote, Benson boiled only 992 votes more than Kimball, and all of those were in the First Division. The commis- sioner rolled up .240O votes in the First. his home division. while Kim ball in the Democratic race totaled only 1O94. Benson won the Second by two votes. He tallied 432 there while Kimball got 4SO. Challenger Kimball took the Third, HI to 1927, and the Fourth, his home di- vision, 970 to TBS. Comparative vote would indicate that he who carries the First may well be the next commissioner of labor.
 Meanwhile, the two candidates were squaring away to slug 1t out. Kimball had requested letter from Benson allowing him an in- spsction of Labor Department rec ords. The commissioner had replied that the records of his office were open to inspection by Kimball on the same basis as they are to the general public Kimball offered Ben son free radio time to debate the issues. The latter countered that he was too busy to take advantage of such 8 generous" offer and sug- gested that Kimball might persuade some legislative candidate to "de- bate with you on your statement that you are fighting the corrupt Democratic party" This one could be quite a contest.

Republicans were continuing to concentrate their fire on the Pal mer airport, aided and abetted by unadjourned Democrat Mark Jen- sen. They had gotten their cam paign fodder back to Senator Hugh Butler, ranking minority member of the Senate committee on Inte- rior and Insular Affairs. This week the senator came out with a state ment via the Associated Press that maybe the senate should inYeati- gate some of the charges being hurled in Alaska, particularly the Palmer airport deal. His quoted in- formation appeared to follow almost verbatim the COP party line as pro- nounced by COP Boss Albert White, the Fairbanks News-Miner and the one-man investigator, Mark Jensen. It was effective campaigning, cleY- erly executed, and at the moment the donkey riders Were on the de- fensive. Whether it would pay off next October 10 remained to be seen. The odds at this time, how ever, despite the COP assault guns, were that the Democrats would con- tinue to control both the Territor- ial Senate and House at the next session of the legislature. They had a neat handicap in the senate with six holdoYer Democrats as against two holdover Republicans. Primary returns would indicate they have a good chance of getting a major ity of the House seats but 1t wouldn't be a walk-away. The Dem ocrats would have to quit playing 8 percentage game and get in and toss a few baskets if they expected to come out on the long end of the score in October.
