She also announced that she ex- pected to fill the vacancy caused by Mrs. Walker’s resignation as club there be closed to fishing. Yesterday morning Elkins, accom- panied by Jack O’Connor, President of the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc., in a Fish and Wildlife Service plane piloted by Bob Meek, flew a load of grayling which they planted in Young’s Lake south of Jumeau on Admiralty Island. Fifty-five mature and 20 fingerling grayling were re- leased there. In the afternoon when O’Connor and Lewis McDonald of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, went to Auk Lake to release the last of the grayling which had been held in an impounding box for observation, they found two fishermen (mem- bers of the Territorial Sportsmen, too!) fishing at the mouth of Lake Creek. Grayling were jumping di- rectly in front of them so O'Con- nor went to them and asked them ;Lo release, with least possible dam- iage, any grayling that they might catch. The two fishermen agreed to do so but did not stop fishing. It was then that O'Connor asked Elkins to see what could be done about closing an area about 200 yards in an arc from the mouth of the creek in order to give the trans- planted fich a chance. All indicatians are that the gray- ling are adapting themselves to the water there. Only $500 of the $2500 appropriated by the Territorial Sportsmen has been used. The pro- ject of transplanting more lakes in this area will be resumed in the spring, O'Connor stated.

Eased by Light Rain EDMONTON, Alta.,, Sept. 26— —Cooler temperatures, accompanied in some places by persistent light rain, eased the forest fire haazrd in northern Alberta today and buoyed the hopes of more than 700 fire fighters. ‘The light rain was widespread in the northwest corner of Alberta where big blazes have been taking their toll in timber. An estimated 100 fires have been raging. “The moisture will stop the run- ning fires and give the fire fighters | a chance to concentrate on ground | blazes” said J. L.
