 We almost forgot to mention a big Bruin was seen loping along my first sight of one fairly close.
 Kodiak Island, seen from a Grammar Goose, presents a very mountainous terrain. In fact it is  nearly all hills and mountains. There are brush covered areas, and grassy slopes. The mountains are from three to four thousand feet high, and most of them have snow patches even at this time of the year. At Karluk the tops of the mountains are tundrous and the lower areas grass and brush.

Cancer Drive
 1st Of August

The annual Cancer Drive in Ko- diak will start August 1 and con- tinue until August 18, it was an- nounced by Mrs. Jack Hinckel, General Chairman for the Kodiak area. Chairman in charge of the drive has not yet been appointed.
 A 21 inch Zenith TV set will be given away this year in the drive to secure funds. Tickets are now being printed. A tag day will be held August 4. The drive will con- clude with public dance at the ElkS Club August 18.

feeding and other sea life that preys on .them-these and many more studies that require conSid- erable research. This work is be- ing done at Karluk by the research branch of the FWS. Dr. Royce is the research biologist in charge. He was not at the weir when we arrived, but Charles Concle of Cal ifornia was temporarily in charge. He is young biologist, making a study for the North Pacific Fish cries Board. I watched him and Ray Cramer, also of California, as they dipped salmon out of the trap, took measurements, pulled a scale from the fishs side, which they attached to a numbered book page. The fish were handled with rubber gloves and were returned to the water after the operation.
 The Karluk weir is about 2S8 feet long. The fabulous catches, and escapements of bygone years, of course, are never duplicated anymore, but Concle and Cramer state few fish have so far come up the river. Few fish and lots of gnats. Ray said he will probably leave there after this summer with a perpetual twitch, fighting off the little flying demons. We left John Greenman, a stickleback biologist who accompanied us from Kodiak, at the weir and proceeded on our way.
 Bill next sat the plane down in Karluk Lagoon, and we were met by John O. Hines, stream watch CT stationed at Kafluk village. The time spent at the village was most enjoyable and Interesting. There we met John Cunningham, book keeper for APA, Axel Carlson, Su- perintendent of the APA opera. tions at Karluk, and Alex Brown, storekeeper and postmaster.
 Alex is an old time resident at Karluk and has been around. By that we don't mean he is old, for he is not. He has so many interests that he will likely stay young" a good many years yet. He has thousands of slides and many feet of movie film of that area, includ. ing the Island and. Alaska also. He is now about to take up a new hob by-spinning, of all things.
 We witnessed the tail end of a beach seine operation as we land ed. This proved to be the best haul of the season-about four or five hundred fish.
 We had few minutes converse ton with Axel Carlson, who has been coming to Karluk since 1912 There is no doubt he knows a thing or two about fish. He said so far this year the winds have been northerly and westerly. "The winds have to be southerly co,,%haar$orIy or fho f;ch xvaya'i

Excellent Flying Weather Aids Study Of Fish Habits

Amid clear skies and very little wind, the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice plane took off in the early afternoon Saturday. It was a rou- tine flight for Monte. Clemens and Bill Omdahl of the Service, but went along as an observer.
 By way of introduction, Monte Clemens IS assistant to Roy Lind. siey, having come up here from Southeastern. He has been here only a short while, but has pretty good grasp of the commer- cial fishing aspects of this area al- ready.
 Bill Omdahl, also of Southeast ern, was our pilot in the flight. He has been with the FWS only a short time, He is an old-time Alaskan pilot and does know how to operate an airplane.
 I learned something of the work of these men who have only one desire in their never ending task to improve the once great fishing industry of the island, and bring it back to semblance of its fabu- lous past.
 The routine flight such as we made Saturday, takes these men to the little isolated streams that gre found everywhere on the Island. There are altogether about twenty three stream watchers and four weirs. The stream watcher carries on a lonely vigil. and by diary kept religiously, which indicates the fish trends, the escapement- facts that furnish the data on which study is made of the habits of salmon.
 At the more important weirs, biologists trap the salmon, meas ure them for length, remove scale for further study, and by ob- servation, determine their condi- ton, their growth and habits. But more about that later.
 Our first stop was at Litnik, where Earl Stevens maintains a lonely watch. He is young Okla homan, with a couple of oil wells back home on his farm. While he sits around and waits for his royal ty checks to come in, he chose to come to Kodiak for the summer and enjoy a carefree life in the wiIds-what more could you ask than that?
 After leaving Earl few staple goods-some eggs, milk and bread-we took off once more, this time heading for the Ugak Bay area. We flew over Hidden Basin, thence to Karluk River, and came down at the weir situated on that river. There is quite a popu- lation of biologists located at the weir. The layman would of course think of salmon in numbers only, but there are so many phases to this business of salmon propaga- tion-cycles, growth, population,
