MjlJL
Radio reports indicate that general
good weather thruout Alaska on election day
brought out a big vote. More voters turn
ed out to vote the Democratic ticket than
to vote the Republican ticket. In Moose
Pass seven-eighths of the vote was Demo
cratic. Mrs. Harry L. Smith, Mrs. Anton
Velanis and Mrs. Ray Stafford acted as el
ection judges.
First returns indicate that in this 3rd
judicial division, where two candidates
ran for the same office on the Democratic
ticket, Grigsby led Roden for Attorney Gen
eral, Boyle led Sheldon for Auditor,Rivers
ran ahead of Hesse for highway engineer,
Brownell ahead of Taylor for short term
senator} The senior McCutcheon was the
favorite for Territorial Representative
with Allen E. Horning next best.
The war news which comes over the radio
is so conflicting and so imperfectly heard
that the Miner isn’t going to attempt to
put any out in this issue.
Mr. Dorsh, instructor from the Universi
ty of Alaska, at the raining school now in
session in Moose Pass,is well into the
fourth week with his classes and he con
tinues to hold the interest of the class
members. He will close the school on May
10. Tuesday night he delivered an in
formative lecture on the faults or disloca
tions of veins of ore regularly encountered
by miners.
Twelve tons of machinery arrived this
week for the United Mining and Development
company. If it is there - and Mr. Hatch
er has reason to think it is - the United
will be turning out gold , in the near fu
ture, at the rate of several thousands of
dollars worth each week.
The May number of Jim Busey's magazine,
FRONTIER,is interesting from cover to cov
er, It is a modest-looking magazine, no
cuts and no advertisements. He sayst"To
assure absolute independence, FRONTIER
does not depend upon paid advertising."
An article entitled"HOMER - Adventure
in Freedom," written by the editor follow
ing a trip to Homer,is exceedingly inter
esting. "Mining Rackets in Alaska" by
Anton Anderson, tells the tells the whole
disgraceful story. Donald MacDonald is
featured as a "Frontiersman - Who Thinks
and Acts."
