M. J. O'Connor, assistant agent of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. The amendatory regulations were issued by the Department of Com- merce on recommendation of Commissioner Henry O'Malley. The late run in Klawock Inlet was described as abnormally large. Among many inquiries indicating widespread interest in Ray Taylor's recently published “Pocket Guide to Alaska Trees,” was a request from | Belgian officials for a number of copies. Taylor, in charge of scien- { tific tree growth investigation, had written the book while making his studies. Among passengers arriving on the Princess Louise were Helen Gray, R. E. Robertson, James Cowie, Elmer Peterson, George W. Oja, Marcel Stragier, Peter Stewart, William Spencer, Walluf Rasmussen and Olaf Swanson. At a dinner in her home at the National-Alaska Fur Farms at Men- denhall, Mrs. J. B. Marshall announced the engagement of her daughter, Miss Elizabeth, to Mr. Clifford Mason, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Mason of Vancouver, B, C. Other guests were the Rev. and Mrs, C C. Saunders, the Rev. and Mrs. David Waggoner, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Lister, Mrs. Frank Klitza, Miss Lucile Norton and Mr. Roy Osborne. Lt. Harold Bromley and Harold Gatty hopped off from Sambongi, Japan, trying for a 4,532-mile non-stop flight to Tacoma, Wash. As the flight was considered a hazardous one, subject to strong typhoons, there was a possibility of an emergency stop at Nome after flying along the Aleutian Islands.
