Fine OF LOCAL !
RESIDENT HIGH
HONORED SEATTLE
Of interest to Seward people and
to his many Alaskan friends, is the
coming Seattle election in which
Judge Calvin S. Hall, father of R.
A. Hall, local assistant in the office
of the Alaska Steamship Company,
is a candidate to succeed himself
as Judge of the Superior Court.
Seattle newspapers have the fol- j
lowing nice things to say about;
Judge Hall and other members of
the judiciary:
“Here are ten men—men who
have spent their lives in public of- j
fice—men who are highly train
ed—and who represent an invest- I
ment of many thousands of dol-i
lars to the people of King County 1
and the State of Washington—in- i
spect their records—most of them
are Superior Court Judges—men'
who hold the highest office pos
sible for the people of King County
to bestow.” ►
“Fifteen years of judicial service, |
Judge Calvin S. Hall is one of King;
County’s most honored and res
pected jurists.”
A few other commendations of
Judge Hall, read as follows:
“Judge Hall has saved our
homes.” —Editorial, Fremont News.
“Judge Hall is the friend of
youth.” —Judge J. T. Ronald.
“If every Judge were as fair as
Judge Hall there would be less
trouble between capital and labor.”
—Wm. Green, Pres. A. F. of L.
“He has been a wonderful help
to me in my work.” —Mother Ry-J
ther.
Attorney J. S. Truitt, of Anchor
age, Democratic choice for Attor
ney General of Alaska at the No

EARTHQUAKES MAKE
■ FISH BITE FASTER
Earthquakes may increase the i
catch of mackerel and other fish. |
This suggestion has been made
by a scientist of the earthquake
research institute of Tokio imperial
university, who has found a par
allelism between the incidence of
earthquakes and particularly large
catches of fish over a period of
years.
Among the possibilities suggest
ed are that the seismic shocks, or
some kind of mechanical stimulus
associated with them, may be di
rectly felt by fish and induce them
to approach the feeding grounds.
It also may be that the shocks
! affect the depth of the layers with
1 the greatest density of low organ- ]
ims on which the fish feed. Third
| ly, earthquakes may change the j
chemical nature of coastal water j
and thus indirectly affect the fish. I
SS ALEUTIAN FREIGHT
