the Territorial election. Arthur

to count.
Senator Dimond is lintd up with
Frame stood squarely behind the Re
publican party and Deelgate Suth
erland.
Ben Grier, membtr of the last le
gisltture, J. H. Murray, “whip’’ of
the reactionary faction during the
1924 sessions and Thomas Scott,
hanker of Cordova are sure of plac
es in the House. Wilcox, Democrat
and Speaker of the last Houst die
%
not have a look in this election.
The show window of Hogue anc
Tveten Company’s store had a flne
collection of war time relics on ex
hibition. Some of the close ui
views give a faint idea of the grue
someness of war. Looking these
things over, we are all glad of Arm
istice Day.
Only one uniform in Petersburg
on Arimistice Day. No. Two. One
O.D. and ’tother the Red Cross. We
wonder how other towns seem te
get the boys out in uniforms and te
have them take prominent part ii
the Day’s program.

ALASKA RAILROAD REDUCES
. DEFICIT BY 80 PERCENT
* That the AlaskaRailroad is mak
* mg fast strides to the piint where, it
£ will be independent of government
J appropriations for its successful op
s' eration has been given out by Noel
l W. Smith .General Manager.
I The total rail and water line re
i venues of the fiscal year of 1926
£ were $,067,511.87, and increase of
y $206,274.63 ror 24 percent ove
£ -025. Tota lexpenses were reduc
> ed 11.8 percent. The expenses were
P $2,236,713.91, a decrease of $298,
> 530.69 over last year. One of the
* outstanding things of the reports
> is that the deficit of the rail and
> water lines was reduced by 32 per
cent. The total deficit for main
tenance and operation was $1,169,
202.04, a decrease over 1925 of
I $504,795.32.
With a bigger fishring population
theer would be greater opportunity
agricultural possibilities and sale
along the railroad might be expect
ed, greater use of transportation al
ia woing greater decrease in the over
head. The proper solution of the
fisheries question in Southeastern
Alaska will be of benefit to the rail
load. Fishing population builds up
country while the trap population
depletes it. The better the condition
in one district, the greater the be
nefit to other divisions.)
N .P. REP. RETURNS SOUTH
Karl K. Katz, Alaska passenger
representative of the Northern Pa
after an extended trip through Alas
ka in the interest of his company,
returned to Seattle reecntly..
He expressed himself as being
much pleased with the results of his
tiip and expects it to materialize
in the form of considerable traffic
for his company next year.
ROSS RELECTED
I » _
trict give H. H. Bom ,member v gm
iast Legislature a place. J. W.
Lunn, Independent Senator, has
' reelected.
“Bobby” Sheldon is staging a
tough comeback as Weir and Fisher
are giving him such a close run that
it will probably take anofficial count
to settle the election.
The Independent faction is trying
to get some consolation out of the
idea that neither party will have
rontrol of the Legislature. At this
writing it looks as if the Republican
party had the whip hand. That is
unless there are not weak sisters
to fal lfor the nice dinners and li
quor parties.

Five, ten, twenty or thirty couples—
all dancing their best and their gayest
—can’t drown out the beating rhythms
of the New Orthophonic Victrola. The
double basses, the steady notes of the
drums, the dynamic tubas, are repro
duced in full power. Let us demon
strate. Come in any time. The Con
solette, illustrated above, is only one
of the four beautiful models.
