Chum Salmon
Tagging Program
Started on Yukon
A Federal Government emer
gency salmon research program
initiated to obtain needed infor
mation about size and racial
composition of the chum salmon
in the Yukon River is being con
ducted by the Alaska Dept, of
fish and Game, Walter Kirkness,
ccmmissioner, has announced.
The project, which is located
at Mountain Village, is under
general supervision of Area Bi
ologist Steven Pennoyer of Com
mercial Fisheries Division and
directly under Assistant Area Bi
ologist Ron Regnart.
The project will be terminated
in December, 1962.
Information resulting from the
investigation is being prepared
for use at the International No.
Pacific Fisheries Conference in
1963 when North Pacific fishery
problems involving treaty mat
ters will be discussed by a com
mission comprised of represent
atives of Japan, Canada and the
United States.
Through the cooperation of the
U. S. Airforce, project personnel
and equipment -were flown by Air
Force personnel of Elmendorf
Air Force Base to the lower Yu
kon last spring. Heavy equip
ment, transported on C-123s and
helicopters, included three boats,
{outboard motors and two dis
assembled fishwheels previously
prefabricated in Anchorage.
Approximately 1,100 chum sal
mon, captured in the fishwheels,
were tagged. Chum salmon have
been found to travel from 14 to
24 miles a day. So far, tagged
fish have been recovered as far
upstream as Rampart, 670 miles
from the tagging site at Moun
tain Village.
Anyone catching such tagged
salmon and turning the tag in
to a Department representative
will be rewarded one dollar. This
payment for tags will be con
tinued during 1962.
By use of a tag and recovery
program, an all-out attempt will
be made in 1962 to estimate the
number of chum salmon that mi
grate up the Yukon River. Six
fishwheels are now ready to be
gin fishing in the Mountain Vil
lage area next June. An addi
tional crew stationed upriver at
Pilot Station will (recover tagged
salmon by means of gill nets.

by Bert Lite, mechanic for Wea

The bear had been raiding gar
bage cans for the past week, says
Mrs. Lyle Johnston, whose hus
band is in charge of Weaver Bros,
operations in Soldotna area.
Thinking the bear would soon
hibernate for the winter, no ac
tion was taken until the young
bruin made himself a daily nuis
ance and mothers began fearing
for the safety of small children.
Bob Lite, 14, son of the man
with the gun, and the Johnston’s

night skinning out the animal
and now have his hide stretched
in the garage. Who gets the bear
rug has not been decided.
