RECORD BROKEN ON RED !>
SALMON IN BRISTOL BAY
(Juneau Empire)
With a total pack of 1,591,103 Cases
of salmon, of which 1,566,774 cases
were red fish, the 1933 season ended
in Bristol Bay last Tuesday. Final
figures, based on the bathroom count ■
and subject to slight revision, were*
made public today at local, headquar
ters of the United States Bureau of
Fisheries.
This is the largest pack of red Salo
mon ever made in Bristol Bay, ac
cording to Captain M. J. O’Connor,
assistant agent of the bureau. It ex
ceeded both 1917-1918, war years, the
previous record packs.
With unusually heavy runs of red
salmon reported in the Kodiak and
Cook Inlet districts, and normal ccxr- j
ditions prevailing in other red fish
aras, the big Bristol Bay production,
is said to presage one of the greatest
packs of high grade salmon ever
made in the Territory,, .
It may go as high as that of 1917,1
when a total of 2,481,881 cases.,were
packed. The record peak was put up
in 1918, 2,618,550 cases.
The record for western Alaska, in
cluding Bristol Bay, the Alaska Pe.
ninsula and Chignik, was set in 1918,
1,729,622 cases. This figure has air
ready been surpassed by the..current,
season’s work, which is not yet com
plete, as fishing will continue on the
south side of the peninsula, and at
Chignik for several weeks. To., data

GLAVIS, DISMISSED BY TAFT, /
RESTORED TO CIVIL SERVICE
WASHINGTON.—To remedy what
the Interior Department calls' “an..in
justice allowed to stand .for nearly a
quarter, of a century,President
Roosevelt, by an executive order is
sued yesterday, restored Louis R.
Glavis to civil service status. He is
now chief of the investigation division
of the Interior Department. *,• *
Glavis was dismissed by President?
Taft in 1908 after uncovering irregu
larities in the Alaska coal fields. It
was held “His investigations disclosifejl
that the Morgan and Guggenbein^
syndicate and other corporations were
trying to acquire much of this valu
able coal land through dummy entry
men in violatioc of the law.” \ ,
The department said that as an out
growth of this controversy Secretary
. Ballinger and Glavis were dismissed
by Taft for insubordination at a Con
gressional investigation. Several Re
> publicans supported Ballinger and
four Democrats and one independent
Republican supported Glavis.
A few months later Walter L.
Fisher succeeded Ballinger and re
t, versed his predecessor and canceled
; all Alaska coal entries and filings.
While out of Government employ
ment Glavis lived in New York and
engaged in private investigation
work. 1
The editor stood at the pearly gate,.
His face was worn and old;
.He meekly asked of the man of fate
' Admission to the fold.
“What have you done?” St. Peter
asked,
“To seek admission here?” ..
! “Oh, I ran a country printing plant
On earth, for many a year.”
The gate swung open sharply
As Peter touched the bell.
“Come in,” he said, “and take a harp;
You’ye had enough of—er—tro
ble.” —Forest Free Press.
