R PU THE FLY IN THE FISHING OINTMENT First sizeable reports from the Westward districts on the 1938 salmon pack indicate that while some of the areas are definitely down the big red salmon run in Bristol Bay will bring the a e up to a year ago, if not better. Bristol Bay alr s runni ahead of last year in volume of pack and if the salmon keep coming until the season closes on July 25, it is probable the red pack will exceed last season considerably. Copper River is finished for the season, and the total pack is approximately 4,000 cases under a year ago. Other Westward districts are down in compari- son, but the outlook on the whole in those areas Is not unfavorable, Werst fly in the 1938 fishing season omntment at the present time is the trouble at Ketchikan between the CIO fishermen and the packers over pri chikan’s eleven are whi is being made to reach an agreement. The district usually puts up the largest pack of the South- east area and should the dispute there drag out it definite curtailment in the However first of September Ket- canneries closed probably will mean a ve Shutheast pack this se doesn't end there until around the so that if an early settlement is reached the pack son the season may yet touch normal in this area %, AR el e led at Ketchi- that it who The unfortunate fact is again reve: kan of Outside dominance.

Couple thiz home building and improvement pro- gram with the construction of the new Gross Twenti-| eth Century Theatre, the expansion of the Gastineau Hotel and the building of the new Baranof Hotel and the result merges mighty close to a building boom in ness Juneau. Due to the sound nature of the investments it can hardly be classified perhaps as what we have come fo accept as a boom, but it certainly is mighty good business for this community and every one Uit lives in it Sound and Fury (New York Times) There are all sorts of theories as to the fascina- tion of prizefights, and no doubt most of them are correct. The most intriguing of them is the notion that most of us would like to hit somebody and don't dare. This suppressed impulse is bad for us, thouzh not so bad as giving way to it would ordinarily be. When we go to a prizefight we identify ourselves with one of the fighters. Then we identify the other fighter with the policeman who gave us a ticket, the man who shoved us aside in the subway, our em- ployer, our venerable parent, who once spanked us unjustly, or perhaps with the New Deal, Wall Street the capitalistic system or the boy who went home from the church socidble forty years ago with our best girl. We also make bets. Nothing makes one so vehement a partisan, or demands so little psychologi- cal anal as the act of laying a bet. Maybe the simplest explanation, as is often the case, is the best one. It may be immoral to win bets, but it is agree- able. Setting all these considerations aside, a prizefight, or ihdeed almost any kind of athletic contest, has one supreme advantage, In a world and at a time when almost all the news we get is frought with signifi- cance, the prizefight doesn’t mean anything. Tt doesn’t mean that the Nazi philosophy is good or had, that the Negro race is or is not rising in the econo- mic scale, or anything else. It has to do with such elements as muscular strength, courage, indifference to pain, sense of balance, reaction time and the Jike, which may be combined in any member of any race at any time. The heavyweight championship of the world is a fiction. Prizefighting is a business. The million-dollar crowd in the arena loses itself for a little while in enjoyable fury and suspense. But to- morrow will be exactly what it would otherwise have been. Nothing has really happened. Retirement From Bristol Bay (Seattle Post-Intellizencer) Withdrawal of Japanese fishing vessels from Bris- tol Bay, as reported by the coast guard, reflects credit alike upon the United States state department and | the joint committee for the protection of Pacific Coast fisheries. | As Miller Freeman, chairman of this committee, | has previousiy pointed out, complete victory can be | assured only when he Japanese government agrees to withdraw its nationals, not only during the present | [ salmon fishing season, but permanently. | | Applauding the activities of the coast guard and | the state department, Mr. Freeman says for the com- | mittee, which jointly represents the general public, | cannery operators and fishermen: | “We do not know when, or if, the Japanese may | return. In any case the department of state will be fully informed of their activities and the joint com- mitfee will continue to maintain its unofficial vigi- lance until some permanent satisfactory solution is | found.” | Constant and consistent pressure, backed by an | informed public opinion, has accomplished results be- | fore. It must be maintained in this instance, as the committee suggests, with no letdown. Leon Turrou, Federal sleuth who got the evidence inst the alleged German spies, has resigned for a rest.
