As the tug-of-war contest took 'place, wagers among members of the crowds were made and the Finn Horse contests quickly attracted money favoritees.

Yurman THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1937. [CAPITOL COMEDY IS SMASHING HIT, FINALE TONIGHT: i Theodora is still ‘going wild” at the Capitol Theatre, but tonight is the finale for the comedy in which Irene Dunne, erstwhile dramatic star, displays her right to the front- rank as Hollywood’s most enjoyable comedienne. Firstly, “Theodora Goes Wild"” is screen entertainment which com- bines delightful nonsense with a plaucble story, scintillating perfor- mances by Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas and a large supporting cast, 1sparkling dialogue by scenarist Sid- yney Buchman and truly inspired di- rectjon by the versatile Richard Boleslawski. The greatest surprise of all is the introduction of Irene Dunne as a full-fledged comedienne, a bold move by the Columbia Studios big- wigs who were convinced that, given the proper story, “the orchid lady,” could romp and rough-house with the best of them. jflnm,mfin On Charter Trips For Marjle Today Holiday Weekend Flights Made for Emergencies and Fishermen Pilots Alex Holden and Chet Mc- Lean hopped off this morning on Marine Airways trips after a busy holiday week-end consisting mainly of making fishing party and emer- gency flights. Pilot McLean took off at 10:30 on a charter trip with Mr. Lee and A. N. Dunlap, officials of the Con- tinental Can Company, to Hoonah Tenakee, Todd, Sitka, Hood Bay, Tyee.

J. LaGasa, who has been used in diving activities at| Sitka, to Hawk Inlet. On Monday night two emergency calls were made by Pilot Holden and Mechanic Lloyd Jarman in the Bellanca. They brought William Smith, Indian, who has been in serious condition for a week, from Hoonah for emergency treatment by ! Dr. Edward F. Vollert. They also brought in August Nelson from Port Althorp. His heel was caught in the fishing gear of a fishing vessel. A fishing party of five, composed of Berton Petman, Milton Dicker- son, Al Hammer, Myron McDon- nell and Arnold Johnson, returned Monday at 1 p.m. with Pilot Holden, | bringing with them a huge catch of | inch-long cutthroat and a limit catch from Lake Hasselborg. | They had started fishing Thursday afternoon. A dozen of the fish were reported longer than 21 inches. Pilot McLean in the Fairchild Sunday made a charter trip to Sitka and flew Mr. Carlson and a party of five to Lake Hasselborg. Re- turning they reported a good catch. Later he flew a charter trip out of Sitka, bringing Lee Jones and one other person to Todd Lake near) Chatham, C. Asia to Tenakee, re- turned Herb Redman, Lee Tucker, and John Morrison from Lake Flor- | ence and flew D. Baldig from Sitka | to Port Alexander.

ANSWER: Salmon canning is essentially a seasonal business. The fish must be packed during a very short part of the year. Yet hundreds of men are employed each fall and spring, making preparations for the approaching fishing season. Modernizing or rebuildir}g canneries, repairing boats and other floating equipment, cutting piling and lum- ber for construction and box shook, manufacturing wire netting, mining coal and providing other nec ssary supplies for the salmon industry, ffurnish thousands of man-days’ employment in Alaska during the off season.
