Kel Larsson copped the honors for the day with a 12-pound salmon. while Tom Ryan came in second with an 11-pound, 15-ounce King salmon. Larsson, however, had won the previous derby, so the closeness of his competitor, Ryan, did not feaze him and he walked about with his chest sticking out like a pouter pigeon. Valeria Reiver came in third on the honor list with an 11-pound, 12-ounce salmon and Pete Melseth hooked a 10-pound, 4-ounce king. Next was Vic Crondahl with a 9- pound salmon, and Tom Harrett hooked an 11-pounder, which did not count in the prize list as Harretf does not belong to the Juneau Sporty Fishing Club. There was little time spent on fun in this derby, each fisherman working like blazes for what he caught, with eleven salmon being hooked from the Wanderer. Aboard the Jazz one salmon was caught, but this was not entered in the derby. At 5 o'clock p.m., the Haida’s siren | closed the final salmon fishing derby | of the season. 1 The awards were as follows: | First prize, fishing rod; second | prize, hunting shirt; third prize, reel; fourth prize, fishing rod; fifth prize, sweater; sixth prize, reel. > i WILL JOIN HUSBAND Mrs. H.
