The Nushagek area was closed to
salmon fishing on July 15, for the
reason given by the Bureau of Fish
eries that the run of red salmon was
poor, and there has been no im
provement since, which was a pre
diction made long before the sea-,
son opened. The area was open
ed Aug. 3 for silver salmon fishing.

About a year ago the Department
of Justice wrote letters to various
District Attorneys, U. S. Marshals,
Clerks of the Court, etc., in Alas
ka, that gladdened their hearts
with the information that effective
July 3, 1930, their salaries would be
advanced $200. They received the
advance and properly expended it,
but were startled a couple of
months ago to receive a communi
cation from Comptroller General
McCarl stating that this advance
had been made under the “Brook
hart’' Act, which was not applic
able in this instance, and intimat
ing they would have to blow back
the advance. The officials at Fair
banks referred the matter to Dele
gate Wickersham, who took it up
with the Comptroller General and
the Attorney General. As a result
the latter has issued an order mak
ing an “Administrative Increase,”
which will be respected by the
Comptroller General, and the Alas
ka officials will not be expected to
return the past year’s advance.

For some weeks past the General
Land Office has been wrestling with
i proposition as to whether or not
to lease Unit No. 2 in the Matanus
’coal field, and to give an ex
ploration permit for Unit No. 3. A
lease had been given several years
I ago, but it was cancelled. Now the
; applicants are Jesse Lander, Henry
| Baxter. Bartley Howard, E. H. Ras
| mussen and Frank Colobufalo. The
| Land Office officials have been sur
| veying all the facts that surround
the matter, in the effort to know'
! just what to recommend to the Sec
. retary of the Interior. It may be
that some of the applicants have
a prior claim for lease and then
; again it may be decided to adver
tise for bids, with certain stipula
I tions, and let the highest and best
bidder take the permits. It is ex
; pected that coal from No. 2 Unit,
; with greater depth, will show a
i higher value than heretofore.
