r Henry O’Malley, U. S. Com
j missioncr of Fisheries,! will ai
rive in Alaska early in Julj
with q party to resume studiei
| of the Alaska fisheries situat
ion, according to advices re
ceived by United States At
torney A. G. Shoup, says the
Juneau Empire. He expects tc
be accompanied by Lawrence
Richey, private secretary to
Secretary Hoover, and two or
three members of congress
Commissioner O’Malley spent
most of last summer in Alas
ka covering southeastern dis
tricts and Prince William
Sound. While he has not an
nouned his plans for this sum
mer, it is believed he will cov
er a large part of the coastal
districts during the fishing
and salmon canning season.
P. L. Hope, of Seattle, who
went to Alaska in 1891 ana
headed the Klondike rush in
1897, in charge of the Alaska

When Charles Lindbloom,
known in Mexico and Alaska
for his mining and gambling
activities, died in Reno sev
eral months ago, he left only
a 31,500 estate although he
had made and lost several
fortunes in his career.
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce, in conjunction with J.
R. Heckman, of the -Territorial
Fish Commission, is endeavor
ing to convince the federal bu
reau of fisheries that its re
cent order closing the upper
part of Lvnn Canal to fishing
is an error and has the effect
of deprivng the Indians of
Haines, many of whom live by
gillnet fishing, of their only
means of making a living. In
addition the order will put a
small cannery, operated by
Tim Vogel completely out ol
business and cause the loss of
the $100,000 investment rep
resented by the plant. Mr.
Heckman, who is credited with
being the best authority on
Alaska fisheries, says the
number of fish taken by the
gilinettms there will allow an
escapement of fully 90 per
cent and that no possible men
ace t- li.e supply fish cm

Plans are well under way for
rebuilding Strelna Inn, the
tourist resort on the Coppei
River and Northwestern Rail
road, which was destroyed by
fire. The fact that all but the
main building at the inn had
been saved from the flames
made plans for restoration
\
much easier to carry out.
‘‘Black” Angus Cameron, h
resident of the Gugglevilie
district near Dawson, was re
cently stricken with paralysis
and lay for a day and a night
on the floor of his cabin un
