SPRING RESEARCH
PROGRAM WILL 3E
RESUMED BY FWS
Inauguration of the spring re
search program c *' the m-h -and
Wildlife Se-vice will start with the
arrival of the research vessels Her
on and Sablefish due in Ketchikan
over the weekend from Seattle, It
was disclosed today at the FWS
regional office.
This will be the third season the
Service has carried on its experi
ment with downstream salmon
migrant traps which measure the
success of the survival of pink sal
mon fry through the winter.
At least six migrant trapping
stations will be set up in south
eastern Alaska in locales considered
typical pink salmon streams. Some
of the stations established previous
ly were found to be not so complete
ly pink salmon streams as was de
sired but as far as is possible sta
tions used last year will again be
utilized this season, FWS officials
[ said. Exact locatioas for the experi
! ment traps will be decided follow
ing conferences of biologists aboard
the Heron and Sablefish and Fish
and Wildlife Service Alaska regional
personnel, and a further study of
prospective sites.
The research program to be car
ried out this season will also in
clude the marking of pink salmon
fry by fin clipping in order to trace
migrations and the degree of the
homing instinct of the salmon. One
of the six trapping stations will)
be designated for this work.
The field parties in the research
program this season will be under
the immediate direction of Will
Brewington, biologist. The entire
program is under the direction of
Mitch Hanavan, biologist at the
Fish and Wildlife Service Seattle
laboratory.

SHIMKIN REPORT
FORT YUKON AREA
IS AVAILABLE HERE
A comprehensive survey of the
Fort Yukon region—its resource
pattern, problems and potential—
has been published by the Alaska
Development Board. Copies are
ivailable from the Board’s office.
The 50-page report, which was
prepared by Dr. Demitri B. Shim
kin of Harvard University under
sponsorship’ of the Arctic Institute
of North America and the Office
of Naval Research, has been repro
duced by special permission of the
author.
Dr. Shimkin is an internationally
recognized authority on Arctic and
sub-Arctic development, and dur
ing World War II occupied an im
portant post in the U. S. War De
partment.
Field work for the Fort Yukon
study was undertaken during the
summer of 1949. The Development
Board worked closely with Dr.
Shimkin while he was in the Ter
ritory, furnishing information and1
other assistance.
Although Fort Yukon, historical
ly, occupies an important place in
Alaska’s development, little infor
mation about resources of the re
gion has been set down heretofore.
The information contained in Dr.
Shimkin’s study should facilitate
development of this important,
though remote, region of the Fourth
Judicial Division, the Development
Board believes.
The wild rose is the state flower
of Iowa.
