Halibut on the Juneau marts

Four cents in Petersburg to

eight and four cents per pound.

The city of Ketchikan has
taken care of a bunch of un
employed by giving them six
days labor at $4 per day. Not
much to live on, true, but better
than trying to live on wind. The
| City that Packs the Most Salm
1 on in the World has been getting
a real taste of the wrong sys
tem of conservation as employ
ed by the Bureau of Fisheries.

James Bradley of Wrangell
came over from Wrangell, Mon

him a couple of trollers. Bradie;

even worse for fishing on the
Ctikeen River flats.

A. McGilton returned from
Keene Island this week and re
| ports that he had an awful bat
tie putting out a fire which al -
most gutted his house. He wjis
drying moss for mink nests and
j supposes that some of the moss
! fell on the stove and the flames
reached the walls Two barrels or
-water handy for the mink was
ail the Are apparatus he had a
side from his bucket and at
times he was on the point qf
giving up to the flames but
tenaciously fought on. Those
who have seen the building can
not understand how he got the
fire out—neither does Mac—but
it‘s out and the building saved.
The Wrangell Camp of the
Alaska Native Brotherhood is
putting a galvanized roof on
its building. Operations which
were held up by bad weather
now at an end and the outside
work will be completed. The
front of the old hall will be torn
down and reconstructed. “It will
not cost $50,000, says one of the
members, but it is going to be
one of the best halls in Alaska
all our own hard labor.”

NICK DE RUIZ IS MAN
OF SEVERAL ACTIVITIES
-x
! Nick de Ruiz, character actor
in pictures and former opera and
vaudeville star who is appearing
j with Rex Lease and Armida in
I “Wings of Adventue,” a Tiffany
music comedy drama, has two
thriving businesses to keep him
occupied when pictures are not
calling.
For years he has owned a
popular restaurant near one of
j the major studios, and for the
past three or four years he has
owned a sizeable resort at Los
Alisitos, twenty-five miles south
cf Agua Caliente in Baja Cali
j fornia.
The resort seems most typical,
j because his family before him
were heavy landowners, at one
. time holding nearly all the pro
perty that is now Santa Barbara.
“Wings of Adventure,” direct
ed by Richard Thorpe from aj
story by Harry Frazer, is the at- |
traction Friday and Saturday, ’
at the Coliseum Theatre.

appeared in the British Isles,
India, Africa and Australia.
As a result, he has accumulat
ed a fund of stories that make
him highly popular with * every
type of audience. While filming
George O’Brien’s newest Fox
i movietone vehicle, “The Seas
Beneath,” in which Kelly makes
his talkie debut, the company!
spent four weeks making pic - J
tures aboard a big schooner an:V
I two of Uncle Som’s finest sub - j
marines, and every evening the |
oast would flock around the
! famous raconteur while he en
tertained them for hours.
“The Seas Beneath,” whicn
comes to the Coliseum Theatre
next Sunday and Monday, was
! directed by John Ford. Marion
| Lessing portrays the chief femi
