MISSING FLIERS MOYLE AND ALLEN 7 MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PLANE, IN FLAMES, PLUN PACK OF PINKS THIS YEAR IS ABOVE NORMAL Is Largest Since Record Year of 1926, Says Supt. Russell Alaska’s pink salmon pack this season will probably be the larg- est since the record pack of 192€ according to J. R. (Bob) Russell Field Superintendent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, Seattle, who arrived here last night with A. K. Brown, Chief Clerk of the ‘Washington office, on the flagship Brant, Capt. E. L. Hunter. The pack up to August 31, on figures received at the Seattle of- fice from all districts, was 5,335,461 cases, Mr. Russell said. The pink pack was 2984748 cases. Reds totaled 1,643,148. These totals will be increased by Fall operations at Kodiak, Chignik and Yakutat. Some chums and cohoes will aslo be pack- ed before the late season ends. Will Inspect District Mr. Russell will leave here tomor- row on the patrolship Teal, Capt. Roy Cole, for a few days cruise in Icy Strait and adjacent waters. He expects to spend ten days or so in the district inspecting spawn- ing beds and will return to Seattle after that is done. Mr, Brown is making his first trip to Southeast Alaska, and the first to the Territory in 20 years. In 1911, he spent some time on the Pribilof Islands. He is a veteran empleyee of the. Department of Commerce, having been connected with it for the past 29 years. Declighted With Progress He takes a keen interest in the Bureau of Fisheries work in the Territory and is delighted with the progress reported Alaska in conserving and building up of salmon runs. He will leave here tomorrow for a brief trip to Sitka with Agent Dennis Winn, r2- turning Sunday or Monday. He will return to Seattle on the steamer Yukon next week and pro- ceed directly to Washington from there. Mr. Brown is a redhot baseball fan, and his deepest regret now is that he will not be able to take in the approaching World's Series. He is a St. Louis booster so far as that classic is concerned, and is a per- sonal friend of Manager Gabby Street, manager of the Carcinals.

The former now has the matter under consideration and is expected to make a decision within a few days. In a letter to National Commit- tesman Connors, A. B. Holt, Sec- retary of the Petersburg Commer- _cial Club, said: “It is the purpose of this letter to extend you an invitation to meet here, and to ,assure you that you will have the { full co-operation of the local Com- mercial Club, if you decide to meet here.” Plans for the convention are well under way, Mr. Connors said to- Iworkers in every precinct in the | Division instructing them to call ! precinct meetings and select dele- gates to the projected convention.
