[LECTION LAW
OF TERRITORY
IS ABROGATED
Clerk of the U.S. District Court Ar
thur Lang has received instructions
from Attorney General Grigsby which
abrogates the provision of the terri
torial law permitting electors to cast
their votes anywhere in the division
in which they reside.
Section 25 of Chapter 25 of the Ses
sion Laws of 1D15 reads as follows;
“Any person who can qualify as a
legal voter in the division in which
he or she attempts or offers to vote
may qualify and vote in any election
precinct in such division by subscrib
ing to the qualifications required foi
I registration in this section.
This is in conflict with Section 51M
the Com pi lied Laws of Alaska, which
provides that the voter must have
been an actual and bona fide resident
of Alaska continuously during the en
tire year immediately perceeding the
election, and have been such resident
continuously for thirty days next pre
ceding the election in the precinct in
which he votes.
The attorney general asserts that
in the coming election in November
next the provisions regarding the
qualifications of voters must be gov
erned by the federal law, and that to
vote in any precinct the voter, aside
from the qualifications otherwise pro
vided, must have been a resident con
tinously in the precinct in which he
or she votes for at least thirty days
next proceeding the date of the elec
tion.
SUN YAT SEN IS
SANGUINE OF A
NEW ALLIANCE
TOKIO, Aug., 21/.— Dr. Sun Yat
Sen, noted Chinese political leader,
has come to Japan. Alluding to the
civil war in China he expressed opin
ion that the Southerners were prepar
ed to entertain a peace proposition if
the conditions were such as to guar
antee a permanent cessation ol' the
conflict. Whether such a result can be
attained while Premier Tuan remains
I in power seemed problematical, lie
said. He suggested the South mAtry
to find financial assistance in JiJfflnVT
Speaking of China-Japan relations,
he said: “1 have been paying careful
attention to the question of an enten
te bottveen Japan and China and am
convinced that primarily it is a quest
ion of sentiment. If the sentiment of
the two peoples can be brought into
haromny the desired effect can be ob
tained without much effort”.
MUCH SALMON
BEING PACKED
IN S. E. ALASKA
JUNEAU, — (By Mail) — A col
lation of the figures of the pack of a
part of the canneries of the Northern
Division of Southeastern Alaska, se
cured through the most reliable ob
tainable channels, indicates that the
total canned salmon pack of the dis
trict on August 1st approximated!
800,000 cases, and the best part of the
season, if we aro to judge from the
past, is still ahead of the industry.
This is an improvement over the re
cord pack of last year.
The following is the record as far
as could be gathered at Juneau today,
and it is the nearest complete list
thus far published:
Excursion Inlet, Astoria and Puget
Sound Company, 40,000 cases; Todd i
Packing Company, 9,000; Hood Bay,
Hidden Inlet Company, 20,000; Chat
ham, 51,000; Pyramid Packing Com
pany, Sitka, 12,000; Tenakee Fisher
ies Company, 32,000; Hoonah Pack
ing Company, 90,000; Auk Bay, 18,
000. Taku Harbor, 70,000; Hawk
Inlet, 87,000; Poi-t Althorp, 52,000.i
Petersburg, 52,000; Scow Bay, 10,000 ,
Tee Harbor, 26,000; Gambier Bay,
62,000; Juneau and Douglas canner
ies about 10,000.
The totals of these canneries is
021.000 cases.
The Fun ter Bay cannery of the
Thlinget Packing Company, one of
the always successful four-line can
neries should add 00,000 to this total,
and the Lynn Canal, Pillar Bay, Bed
Bluff Bay, Idaho Inlet, and other can
neries not included in the list should
bring the grand total well above the
800.000 mark.
