CHIGNIK SALMON Topar: allowed to arm RUN IS LARGEST EVER RECORDED OMalley Gratified with Reports from All Areas Regarding Fish Runs The greatest salmon run on rec- ord at Chignik is reported from where all former weir counts v been eclipsed, it was an- nounced here today by Henry O’- Malley, United States Commission- er of Fisheries, who arrived here Tuesday from Seattle and wil nd most of the summer in \Al- aska waters studying conditions as a basis for next year’s regulations on commercial fishing. The Commissioner will remain here until about the end of the weck before proceeding to West- ern Alacka, He will come back here Jater in the summer and probably remain to the end of the season. Escapement Is Heavy He was highly gratified with the Tepor! from Chignik and else- where in the western regions as well @as several indications in Southeast ‘Alaska. At Chignik to the end of last week, there had been 2,400,000 fish counted through the weir. This is the greatest number ever counted through in the higtory of that stream, ex- ceeding the entire count for any previous full season which extends until September. The run light- ens during midsummer and gets heavier again at the latter part of the season. The commercial pack there to date is about 60,000 cases. eports from Bristol Bay from unofficial sources said runs were good for the early season, the Comn joner said. No reports have been had lately from Agent Dennis Winn who is there looking after the administration of the regulations. South Side Runs Large On the south side of the Alaska Peninsula the best early season run since 1922 is reported with correspondingly good packs. Com- plete figures were not available of the pack. Three districts reported to date from Southeast Alaska—Icy Straits, Western and [Eastern—all were ahead of 1931, not in the total pack, but in the comparative pack of the Versailles treaty | her nations. | PRICE TEN CENTS | Asscciated Press telephcio of Sen.

Borah, of Idaho, in the field as a Presidential candidate holding the center of interest. Party leaders conferred with the Senator but neither Borah nor the leaders would say what the de- cision is. Friends of Borah believed he re- fused although he said he would not support Hoover because of the wet plank. The Republicans be- lieve, however, the Idaho Senator must confine his fight to stumping | for dry candidates of both parties. Leigh Colvin, National Chairman of the Prohibition Party, declined to make any report but did say Borah has been asked to run for President on the Prohibition ticket.

BERLIN, Germany, July 6, |—Jimmie Mattern and Ben- nett Griffin landed here at 5:45 o’clock this afternoon (8:40 a.m. Pacific Coast Stan- dard time), slightly more |than 18 hours after leaving |Harbor Grace. They had been sighted at Han- over more than two hours before they landed and the delay in ar- riving here was because of bad weather and they were forced to detour. The flight between Han- over and Berlin is generally made in one hour. A large crowd awaited the two fliers including Ambassador Sackett who began to worry. Make New Record It is the first nonstop flight from the western hemisphere to be succesfully completed at Berlin. A band played the “Star Spangled Banner” as the “Century of Prog- ress,” taxied across the field. The United Sttaes flag was raised at the airport. Have Gained 2 Hours In comparison with the Post- Gatty time, the two fliers are about two hours ahead of the schedule. Mattern and Griffin averaged from 107 to 135 miles an hour on the flight. They left Harbor Grace at 4:59 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Eastern Standard Time. The two fliers are out to beat the world circling record made by Post and Gatty.
