Preliminary figures on the 1932
salmon pack of Southeastern Alas
ka issued from Juneau headquar
ters of the U. S. Bureau of Fisher
ies, placed the production for the
year at 2,189.675 cases. Only 30 can
neries were operated, 11 less than
the number operated in 1931.
The same canneries operating
last year produced 1.937,962 cases.
This year’s pack, however, was
about 350,000 cases short of that
for 1931. the decrease being due en
tirely to the failure of the 11 can
neries to operate.
The pink salmon production was
1,366.334 cases, and led all other
varieties- The chum pack aggre
gated 574,439 cases; reds, 138,428;
cohoes, 86,868 cases; and kings 23,
477 cases.

Two alleged leaders of -a “high

for systematic thefts of gold ore
from the Pioneer mine, in the
Bridge River district, have been ar
rested and the police are seeking a
third member. Those arresetd are
A1 Walters and Reginald Burton.
They are charged with illegal pos
session of gold. The police said
gold ore has been stolen from the
Pioneer mine for six months. Sev
eral shipments of gold bullion were
made to Seattle. The total
taken is estimated a about $8,000,
but the specific charge against the
men mentions only about $1,800.

WILL GO FORWARD
“Every person has the right and
is entitled, if he so wishes, to earn
a living,” Governor Roosevelt said,
“and this expression is not made as
a political talk, but is the heritage
and expected realization of Ameri
j cans. After next Tuesday we will
I go forward, not backward; forward
I to its accomplishment and fulfill
i ment.
! “The day of paper profits can
never mean true prosperity. Four
years ago the Democrats, in closing
that campaign, warned of the false
prosperity then plainly evident and
of the economic catastrophe on the
horizon. We certainly now know
that prediction was rght.
BETTER DAYS COMING
“We refuse to be oppressed by the
fears expressed by our opposition
that civilization and good govern
ment will disappear if the Demo
cratic party is successful next Tues
day; and we will win! The fate of
America never can depend upon
one group or one man in the White
House and I shall always remember
that when I am in the White House.
America can come, and will come,
to better days!”
Governor Roosevelt left immedi
ately after his address for his Hyde
Park home, where he will remain
Sunday and Monday, and on Tues
day will go to the New York Demo
cratic national headquarters to
await the verdict of the voters.

USUI ITEMS OF
INTEREST IT THE
natial capital
Delegate James Wickersham has
initiated a new plan to give greater
employment to resident Alaskans
in the fishery industry of the Ter
ritory. He has taken the matter
up with Commissioner of Fisheries
O’Malley and representatives of the
cannery interests, with encourag
ing prospects that the idea will be
satisfactorily worked out for suc
cessful operation next season.
There may be a little delay occa
sioned in starting the preliminaries
for the construction of the Ketchi
kan Federal Building from the fact
that private architects are seeking
selection in the preparation of
plans and specifications. N. Les
ter Troast has wired the Treasury
Department from Wrangell asking
that he be made architect. He is
an employe of the Department of
Indian Affairs and designed many
of the school buildings in Alaska as
well as the Institute at Wrangell.
Col. Eric Fisher Wood, of the firm
of Hornbostel & Wood, Pittsburgh,
was in the city two days ago con
ferring with the Treasury Depart
ment. Col. Wood has been in Alas
ka and drew the plans for the pro
posed William Henry Seward Mem
orial, to be erected at Seward at a
cost of $400,000. The supervising
Architect informed the Delegate’s
office that the private applications
would be looked into and that it
would be November before any de
cision was made in the matter. The
influence of the Interior Depart
ment and the Department of Jus
tice is being brought to bear on the
Treasury Department to induce the
further selection of 'Anchorage for
a federal building under the Relief
Act, as there is still over $5,000,000
not yet apportioned.

When Commissioners of Fisheries
decided last December to recom
mend that commercial fishing be
allowed in the waters 500 yards
from the mouth of the Yukon river,
from June 15 to June 30, and the
take not to exceed 50,000 fish,
there was some apprehension lest
the order interfere with the run of
the Yukon. The season’s report in
dicates that but 4,757 king fish
were caught at the mouth of the
river, by Alaskans, and that they
were mild cured and shipped to
Seattle. The Bureau has received
a further report indicating that
the catch of salmon on the Yukon
and Tanana rivers the past season
was the best ever known. It is said
that residents along the rivers
have been able to buy dried fish
for from four to five cents a pound
and in some instances they sold
for three cents. While the order was
experimental it is said that there
is now no objection to its contin
uance.

The Geological Survey has just
issued a bulletin entitled, “The
Tatonduk-Natior district, Alaska,”
by J. B. Mertie, Jr., which is an
initial step toward the future map
ping of this Yukon-Porcupine re
gion. As yet many geological prob
lems that have a direct bearing
upon the mineral deposits of the
Yukon-Tanana region remain un
solved, because the country rock
in that region is so greatly meta
morphosed as to obscure or destroy
the necessary evidence.

CONSTRUCTIVE PLATFORM
“We believe that the Democratic
party in Alaska has adopted a
constructive platform and are pre
senting candidates pledged to sup
port the progressive declarations
therein made.
“Ana now, my friends, in closing
i these remarks, permit me to say:
j “In this campaign I have made
| no attempt to discredit any candi
date for any office. It is true that
all cannot win, some must go down
to defeat, but if a man makes a
clean tight and loses, he may still,
as the Chinese express it, “keep his
face”
“I may say for myself that I have
no fears where I am known. Cir
cumstances over which I have no
control have made it impossible for
me to meet and know all of you
who may be listening in on these
remarks, but if I am elected to the
office of Attorney General. I shall
know you, and you will know me.
I shall make it a part of my busi
ness to know the people whom I
j serve and their needs, throughout
i this land of magnificent distances,
j and in so far as I am abie will help
to better conditions.
“My opponents are, perhaps, bet
! ter known to you tnan I am. They
1 each have not only told you about
■ themselves, but they have told you
about each other, each insisting
strenuously and consistently that
j the other is not only incompetent
but wholly without honor, etc. I
am not prepared to say how dis
honest or dishonorable either or
both may be; however, I do disagree
with each of them concerning the
ability of each other.
ALL COMPETENT
“I believe that either of them are
competent, so far as legal learning
is concerned, to fill the office they
seek; r also believe that, while I do
not underestimate the arduous
tasks the office requires, there are
several dozens who could fill it as
competently as either Mr. Rust
gard or Mr. Paul, or myself; but as
only these three men are on the
1 ticket for the office of Attorney
General, you will need to choose
from one of the three: Mr. Paul, Mr.
Rustgard or James S. Truitt.
“And further permit me to say
! that I am dedicating these remarks
to all who may be listening in, re
gardless of where you may reside
in this big land of ours, and espe
cially to the many men and women
voters residing along the Alaska
Peninsula and on the Aleutian Isl
ands. Read your ballot carefully
before you vote. If you vote for
me, I now assure you that the same
| will be appreciated, but whether
| you vote for me or for one of my
I opponents, be sure that you vote;
I you owe it to yourself as a citizen
and to the country you reside in;
: and that we may yet live to see the
I veil that now darkens Alaska’s star
pulled back, and Alaska take her
j place as hte fairest star in the gal
axy.
I “Wishing you peace, prosperity
| and happiness.
