The Territory.'s' first major investment in fishway con- struction has produced sal mon from waters which had been barren from the beginn- ing of time.
 Now biologists of the A. laska Department of Fisheries are watching co see if their brood stock of red salmon will produce a run of commercial value.
 The departments watershed management project which has been in progress on Afog- nak Island for two years is encouraging.
 The fish, in various stages of development, are the re suit of plantings of eyed eggs in the waters of Paul's Lake and it's tributaries.

thelr urge of migration. to the sea-" Clint Stockley, biologist who has been in charge of the project, said. If they will later return to ascend the stream and fishways as mature salmon, to spawn and propa- gate their kind, they will have completed their share of the bargain" "
 Mans share was the con- struction of five sets of fish ladders to surmount obstruc- tions in the Paul's Lake water shed.
 The construction work was done during the summer of 1852 at a cost of SAY, 900. If the gamble pays off and Territorial Director of Fish cries Clarence L. Anderson and his assistants are optimis- tic the cost will be returned many times over.

acres and Gretchen Lake. 53
 acres, were cut off by the cata-
 ract and falls.
 In 1851 some 213,000 green
 and eyed salmon eggs were planted in the gravel of Gret- chen creek. Last year when fry were seined from the
 mouth of the creek, this first artificial introduction of sal mon to the area was found to have been a success. Within a few weeks of the time the fishways were com. pleted silver salmon were ob-
 served ascending to spawn where no salmon had ever spawned before.
 Anderson says the depart
 ment has it's eye on other po-
 tential non- productive waters
 which might be made to yield
 salmon if the Afognak venture proves successful. Frazer
 Lake on Kodiak Island is one
 such place.

Barriers which were cleared by blasting and the fashioning of steps" or ladders of con- crete range from a six-foot cataract to a 12-foot waterfall. Observations have proved that spawning salmon are able to go down it to the sea.
 Paul's Basin cradles three lakes in its valley. The first is Paul's Lake covering 81 acres, the two lakes above it have now been opened by the fish way project.

Washington was the birth
place of $3.50 Maryland babies
in that period-most of them
the children of couples from
Montgomery and Prince Georges

The Health Department noted
that big percentage of those
counties residents are Govern

believes he'll be able to carry

Speaking on telecaSt IN
Lynchburg last night, the So
year-old G. o. P. nominee said
the Republican ticket is gaining
second and third districts and
that he thinks I'VE can carry
these, too"
Mr.. Dalton had previously
voiced the belief that the G. o. p
will come out on top in the 9Th,
9th and 10th districts. Demo-
cratic leaders have also expressed
doubt that their man, Thomas
B. Stanley. will be able to muster
the most votes in these districts

Mr.. Dalton, declaring he is
working his heart out" and
had travelled 10000 miles, said
he felt "sure we can win" in
race which finds the Repub-
licans making their most seri-
Gus contention to Democratic
rule in Virginia in "a years.
Before appearing on the tele-
cast, Mr.. Dalton joined his run
ming mates, Walter Hoffman of
Norfolk and Stephen Timber
lake of Staunton, in challenging
Mr.. Stanley to prove his charges
of outside influence.
In a telegram to Mr.. Stanley
the trio labeled as false and
completely baseless' the Demo-
cratic nominees statements that
the Republicans Are getting out
side strength for their fight.
They said they were shocked
lat the statements and called
on Mr.. Stanley to make public
at once ANY information" which
he might have to substantiate
his charges
Hasn't Received "a Dime"
Mr.. Dalton, speaking at Mar
ion Saturday, said he hadn't
received so much as a thin
dime" from outside the State.
In that speech, the Republican
nominee said ne favored expan-
sion of a State program to pro-
vide textbooks to school children
on rental basis. Such a pro-
gram, he declared, would save
the State and help the students,
too.
Mr.. Stanley, in speech at
independence in Grayso
County Saturday, promised to
work for improved secondary
roads in those counties which
still have many unpaved lanes.
He also promised to give full
consideration to women in max
ing appointments to State posi-
