BAHOVEC HOME
 COMPLETELY GUTTED BY EARLY MORNING FIRE

The home of MT. and Mrs. Law renee Bahovec was completely gut- ted by fire shortly after o'clock this morning. Cause of the fire is unknown, Fire Chief William D. Grant said, but he is making fur ther investigation.
 No one was at home at the time the fire started in a hack bedroom of the dwelling Mir. and Mrs. Ba- hovec were at the Harper Inn which Mrs. Bahovec is managing while Mrs. Frances Harper. own CT, is on vacation in Seattle. Mrs. Bertha Christensen, who lives with the Bahovecs in the fire-destroyed home back of Campbell Bros. left late yesterday for trip to Tele- graph Creek aboard the Judith Ann.
 Because the house was unoccu- pied at the time, the fire had gain d heavy headway and the rear part cf the house was a mass of flames when the fire alarm sounded. The local volunteer fire department brought the flames under control shortly after they arrived but were unable to save any furnishings be- tause of heavy smoke
 It was reported the house was insured for $6,5OO.

legislative office in the First Di- vision got a big hand this week.
 Carrying out the policy of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs which recommends that, on the basis of wOmen's eminent fitness, the Federation and it's affiliated clubs continue to endorse and work for the election and appointment of qualified women to local, state, ma tional and international offices, boards and commissions" the Jun eau Business and Professional WO- mems Club came out with solid endorsement of Senator Doris Barnes of Wrangell for reelection to the Senate; Rep. Dora Sweeney of Juneau for reelection to the House and Roberta Rich of Ketchi- kan for election to the House. Sim liar action was taken Tuesday ev- ening in Petersburg by the Peters burg BPW.
 Says the Juneau BPW club in a letter to women's groups through out the Division: ''The Juneau Bus mess and Professional WOmen's Cub urges the active support of all women's organizations in en- dorsing and voting for these quail fled candidates. The club feels that Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Sweeney have

 The letter goes on to point out that the club is living up to that phrase, lon the basis of women's eminent fitness" by outlining these qualifications

BIOLOGIST GIVES CHAMBER REPORT ON STIKINE FISHERY

Outlining the program of the AL aska Department of Fisheries for this area and reporting on prelim- mary surveys of the Stikine river and its tributaries as to fish poten- tial, Charles Meacham, ADF dis trict biologist for the Wrangell- Petersburg area, was the principal speaker a the dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening in the Elks building.
 Other guests of the Chamber were Bent c. Gerdes of the Mann ing Seed Company, Seattle and w. c. Stump. Ketchikan and Wrangell attorney.
 Meacham said the ADF manage ment work in this area includes assessing salmon escapements in the coastal area and the Stikine watershed; acquiring a catalogue of salmon producing and non-prO- ducing waters; selecting suitable water for fishways; planting red and silver salmon in systems suit able for laddering and making re- concentrations through the Alaska Fisheries Board to the U. $. Fish and WildIife Service which has jua- isdiction over Alaska fisheries.
 Stikine Potential
 Speaking of the Stikine salmon potential on which ne has made aerial and water surveys, the biolo- gist said his reports indicated An drews and North Arm creeks are the major producers on the lower river. On the Iskut river, a canyon lies about l } miles above the south fork 20 miles long which appears blocked, he said. He reported an other apparent block about a quar- ter of a mile above Forrest Kerr creek. Kinaskan lake and several other large lakes are blocked by 40 foot cascade just few miles from the lakes, he said
 "We spent six days poking into tributaries of the Stikine from Wrangell to Telegraph Creek" he said Most of these small tribu- taries are glacial and are too dirty most of the year for salmon. I did find. however, small silvers in sew eral of these streams which leads me to think silvers use them late in the fall after the glacial run-ori stops. The Chutine river is an eX- ample of this type of stream. It is known in the Telegraph Creek area as the Clearwater When I was on the Chutine in July it was muddier than the Stikine, yet it is reported to have a good run of silvers.
 Tahltan Biggest Producer
 Fourteen miles above Telegraph Creek is the confluence of the Tahltan river. The Tahltan is the biggest producer on the Stikine It has a partial block to sockeyes."
 He reported blocks on the Tuya river and the TanzelIa both feed CTS of the Stikine but added that salmon have not been reported as far up the Stikine as the Tanaella
 Meacham said he would be joined by ADF engineer Zeamer next week and would make another trip to the area to determine the possibil- ities of removing salmon stream blocks
 The department works on the Canadian side through an agree ment with the Canadian Depart ment of Fisheries.
