fho old theory that salmon fry
will not hatch in mtneiaiized stream*
has been abundantly disproved, a
sorts A. J. Sp:auge, superintendent
of hatcheries for the Alaska Ten*i*
torial Fish Commission.
“Observations conducted the past
three years on various streams in
the vicinity of Juneau, notably Duck
and Knudson Creeks, have demon
strated in a remarkable manner
that mineralization is not «{ctrimentn1
to fish life; if anything, it is bene
ficial. Before men entered upon the
slaughter of stream fishing millions
of salmon, both young and old. enter
ed these streams.
“Last year’s take of eggs from
the highly mineralized Duck Creek

case showed tlm per od of incubation

I am a candidate tor National Committeeman ot the Republican
•arty to be elected April 27th, and I stand lor the following principles:
I am not a politician and ne'er ran for office before. I belong to
iu political machine or combine and am under obligations to no cli«iue
| >r taction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and il you elect me
I will take my orders from Ihe people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where 1 received the unanimous
indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed ol over one
hundred and fifty members, I will work tor the entire territory of
Alaska, first last and all fhe time.
li vou elect me I will do mv utmost to see that each locality o»
I •
Division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and I will
< fight bitterly the appointment of any one outside of Alaska to an
{Alaska office.
Alaska has h«*en my home* for 23 years, winter and summer, and
I feel sure 1 know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our at lairs
*ml I believe what Alaska need; is more firesides and fewer carpel
taggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of, machine politicians is to vote
gainst them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you and
. want vour help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver the goods.

WHERE OLD FOLKS
DO MOST OF DANCTV.
SAWTELLE, Cal., April 6— The
presence of the Soldier’s Home hen
and ihc f ict that scores of married
veterans of various wars live in little
homes neaiby has brought Sawtelle
distinction as having the largest pro
portion of elderly people in its popu
lation of any California town. Because
• they are old, however, is not a con
dition limiting activity.
“The Old Folks Dancing Club.” has
long held sway here, with frequent
hops at which numerous veteran
aged SO and upwards have disported
themselves with matrons of like jg?,
or sometimes with more youthful
partners; while the ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic hav»
iust announced a series of “Daylight
dances” to he held the first and thim
•Friday afternoons of each month.
The civil war veterans and the»*r
Indies are not the only dancers here
The Sawtede Woman's Club is giving
a series of dances; the Spanish Wa.
Veterans of the local camp are direct
ing a similar series; and the Chamber
of Commerce has announced that
commrn'tv dances for everybody ave
to be features of civic life in future.
“We've mostly got blue uniforms

dancer “and by wearing red geran
iums we make ’em patriotic affairs '*
