“They are herring crazy at Unalas
ka and Dutch Harbor,” said U. S. Dep
uty Marshal A1 Dowling of Valdez
ward. “For myself I can say I
who lias just come in from the West
dreamed there could be so many lier
?fctg in the world. The whole face of
the sea rippled with them just as
though a net were being hauled to the
diamonds. Men at Bristol Bay heard
surface with untold millions' in it.
“It was like a stampede for gold or
of the extraordinary run and the big
wages that were being paid and every
available boat was' commandeered,
leaving the camps around Nushagak
practilly des'serted. The Victoria took
7,000 barrels and there were 7,000 bar
rels there a® 1 came through and it is
said that they had 15,000 barrels' im
pounded but every body was talking
in »o many thousands of (barrels', and
as I didn’t count them I can easily be
-"Mistaken.”

SAYS ROBINSON
NASHVILLE, Sept., 7, (/P)—Cool.
Ulge and Harding were accused by
Senator Robinson of having failed
to display decision of character nec
essary to eliminate crooks and in
competents from their advisers and
prefaced the statement with the de.
claration that he was making no per
sonal attack on either.
The point he sought to drive hoime
was their leadership had not been
notable to any degree or that the
memory of Harding could be glorified
or that Coolidge could be credited
with great political triumps.
The Democratic Vice President
nominee said that if Harding had
half the knowledge of men that Smith
■has he would never have picked
Daugherty Denby or Forbes, and that
Coolidge showed a lack of responsi
bility when he retained them.
