Two vessels arrived over the weekend. The SS Tarlton Brown Coastwise freighter, arrived late Sunday afternoon with pre-fab houses for the Aleutian Homes project.
 At pm the Denall came to port with 12 passengers for Kodiak from Seattle and Sitka. There were 61 round trip pas. sengers aboard.
 The Tarleton Brown brought close to 1000 tons of freight, and the Denali around 300 tons of freight.
 Outgoing passengers on the Denali Monday for Seattle were Mrs. Thelma Ransom, Franklin Ransom, MT. and Mrs. A. B. Dupler.
 Paul Jurich and Jens Stava were Denali passengecs for Ketchikan.

Pre-fabs Start Going Up Fast ln East Addition

Late yesterday four ore fab houses were up at the site of the Aleutian Homes, Inc. housing project in the east ad- dition. Visible evidence that houses would actually be e. rected on the site was welcome relief to many skeptical resi- dents.
 Trucks with trailers carry ing the pre-fab panels were moving all week between the city dock and the site. The city dock was buried under great piles of the pre-fabs which were unloaded from the SS Tarlton Brown, Coastwise freighter.
 Another shipment of the houses is due around the mid ale of July. Foundations for the houses dot the valley and hills in the east addition.
 Dirt work, fills and road construction in the area con- rinued at a rapid pace this week. Earth and rock was be- ing moved from the area on the right side of Mill Bay Road, going toward the Mont martre, and hauled in dump trucks to the left side where it was dumped for fill.
 Roads through and around the housing area were pas sable but are still incomplete. Rock for. the roads is being taken from the quarry cut in- to the side of Pillar Mountain.
 Carpenter gangs were erect ing the houses and engineers and crews were also busy.

Body Found Friday In Channel

The body of Edward John son was found floating in the channel between the Don nelley and Acheson dock and the Government dock early yesterday morning.
 The body was first seen by Alfred Crafty. While he was going aboard a boat to obtain some field glasses Patrolman Jack Wagner drove up. The two men obtained a skif and brought the body to the float,
 A coroner's jury of six heard Mrs. Johnson identify clothing found on the body and also a watch and fountain pen still in the pockets. The watch had stopped at 1:25.
 The jury found that Ed ward Al Johnson came to his death on or about 1:25 am May 7 as the result of a fall from the Halferty cannery dock or a boat and assumed that he drowned"
 Johnson, 55, was reported missing to the US. Marshal's office on May 2. A search was instituted but no trace of him was found. On several occa- sions the U. s. Deputy Mar shal, Chief of Police and friends of Johnson walked the beaches at low tide searching for his body.
 He was last seen on May 6 late at night. When he did not come home on the morning of the seventh Mrs. Johnson as- sumed he had spent the night on his boat the Georgie. which was moored at the Donnelley and Acheson dock.
 Johnson is the father of three boys, Roger, and Jack and Jerry, twins. Late yester- day funeral arrangements were incomplete. The. body was taken to Kodiak Mortuary ] to be prepared for burial.

1t is not surprising that de-
scriptive name such as Yellowtail
should be applied to more than one
fish. The commonest application
is to members of the genus Lut-
janus, which genus covers broadly
a group of fishes known as the Red
Snappers but including also num-
ber of other "snappers".
In the Caribbean area the name
"Yellowtail'' is applied to fish
which is in general red but darker
above and silvery beneath but
shows number of lighter streaks.
The tail of course is yellow and in
young animals the iris is a bright
yellow. This fish Lutjanus vivanus
may be called the Silk Snapper or
Pargo de 10 Alto. 1t is found most
commonly in the West Indies area
where it feeds on the bottom and
assumes a muddy taste. In spite
of this it is found in the markets

Control Mice Now
To Save Orchards

Altering the well-laid plans OF
mice may save your fruit trees.
County Agent George K. Vapaa re-
minds fruit growers that meadow
and pine mice begin their destruc-
tive campaigns in orchards during
late fall. Vapaa explains that mice
feed on the trunks and roots OF
orchard trees, girdling and often
killing them. Examine the ground
closely around the trees" ne says
"and if you see network of run
ways in the grass, it means mead
CIV mice at work" Fine fresh
clippings in these runways are
signs of recent activity.
Pine mice, on the other hand,
travel mostly in underground tun-
nels. Their presence is indicated
by spongy soil beneath the trees
small mounds of dirt and tunnel
openings. Fallen apples with eaten
portions on the underside are signs
of either type of mouse. Generally
speaking, pine mice are more COM
mon in lower Delaware, while
meadow mice prefer the somewhat
cooler climate of New Castle Coun-
ty.
Use poison bait to get rid of the
mouse colonies. Sure death to the
rodents is zinc phaosphide compin-
ed with small pieces of apple, aats
or chufa nuts. In heavily infested
orchards set out four bait stations
per tree. Each station" consist:
of two pieces of poison bait placed
in each runway or tunnel. Al
open spaces formerly planted tt
fruit trees should be baited in the
same manner.

show in the colored stamp issued
by the National Wildlife Fedora
tion in 1858 are yellow. The tail is
deeply forked and the top of the
head is devoid of scales. There are
some yellow spots on the upper
half of the body. This fish is
Ocyurus chrysurus. Since it is re-
latively common near shore in in
lets and lagoons and since it feeds
night or day near the surface or
at considerable depths and since it
is frequently abundant, it is a pop
ular fish with sportsmen.
This fish should not be confused
with the California Yellowtail,
Seriola dorsalis, which is featured
as marine game fish in so much
of our literature of the out-of-
doors.
The California Yellowtail ranges

and other buildings are all possible
shelters for pests remarks George
X. Vapaa, County Agent.
Among the more common pests
that can be found around homes at
this time of year are centipedes,
millipedes, crickets, boxelder bugs,
reaches, sow bugs, ants, and spid-
ers. Some of these pests are not
harmful, but their mere presence is
undesirable, Vapaa says.
Entrance is gained into homes
through open windows and doors,
around the edges of screens,
through cracks, crevices, and vent
ilators," the county agent explains.
'These entrances should be check
ed and should be closed as much as
possible. Painting or spraying a
two per cent oil solution of chlor-
dane along the top of foundation
walls, around windows, doors, and
ventilators will kill many of the
pests as they try to enter. Chlor-
dane will kill most of the house.
hold pests, but it is ofen necessary
to use another insecticide or a COM
bination of insecticides for COM
plete control" County Agent
Vapaa reminds that it is wise to
follow the manufacturers instruc-
tions in applying the insecticides.
