? IMPROVEMENT IS NOTED
IN FUR READERS
3 -X
H. W. Terhune, executive offi
- cer of the Alaska Game Commis
, sion, reported after a territorial
i wide survey that the conditions
in Alaska, so far as the amount
of game and fur-bearers is con
j cerned, is encouraging this year.
Last year’s catch was probably
decidedly under the previous
> year, he said, due for the most
; part to weather conditions, and
t in part to the low price of furs.
[ This was reflected particularly
. in beaver where the catch was
only eighty-percent of the pre
. vious year’s.
Conditions look very encour
aging for next year, however, as
the birds are returning rapidly
' and rabbits are showing up in
all parts of the territory, indi
cating that there will be a
plentiful food supply for the
furbearers. Whether the trap
pers will benefit through an up
turn in price appears doubtful,
i Mr. Terhune said, for though
economic conditions are defi
nitely on the upgrade they pro
bably will not return in time to
raise the price of the furs great
ly this year.
An announcement concerning
the season on migratory birds is
expected to be made within the
next ten or fifteen days, and in
this respect there have been ef
forts made to obtain the respon
sibility for setting the season,
within the states or territory
concerned. Whether or not this
is done cannot be determined as
yet.
' There have been no material
changes affecting this district,
Mr. Terhune said, but the com
mission is. endeavoring to follow
a policy which will be beneficial
to the residents of Alaska, sym
pathetic with their needs, and
at the same time preserve the
source of supply.

STALWARTS AIM
AT LA FOLLETTE
The Stalwarts are marching
j once more to drive the progress
j ive LaFollette from power in
i Wisconsin.
It looks, according to political
leaders on both sides, like a
knock-down-drag-out fight. In
come taxes have been doubled
i in order to pay for Governor
Philip F. LaFollette’s $6,500,000
: uxitrinpiuymeni renei program
land most people with big in
' comes are pretty sore.
The Stalwarts, as the conser
vative regular Republicans are
called in Wisconsin, will have a
large campaign chest.
Phil LaFollette, the idealistic
but peppry and practical 35-year
old son of “Old Bob,” will be op
posed for renomination by form
er Governor Walter J. Kohler,
the middle-aged millionaire
manufacturer of bathroom fix
tures.
John B. Chappie, publisher
from Ashland, who apparently
has the blessing of the Hoover
administration, is going hammer
and tongs after the seat of U. S.
Senator John J. Blaine, a leader
in the LaFollette group.
The struggle becomes some
what suggestive of a struggle
between rich and poor. LaFollet
te will have to depend on the low
income and the no income
groups to save him from defeat.
His theory is that starvation
must not be permitted, and that
the incomes of the wealthy and
well-to-do offer the only place
to get the money to prevent it.
He has even called off the county
officials from sales of property
for delinquent taxes.

13,000,000 JOBLESS SEEN
-x
Predicting 13,000,000 unem
ployed next winter, President
j William Green of the American
Federation of Labor demanded
1 that the federal government
provide jobs.
“This is the issue of the com
ing election,” Green declared.
“From all present indications it
looks as if next winter would be
worse than anything we have
yet experienced—unless we take
the necessary constructive mea
sures. Hunger and despair are
spreading unrest among masses
I of our people.
! “The only sources from which
those nearly thirteen millions
can look for jobs is the federal
j government. The government
.should take hold of the situation
and set up the methods and the
means for providing citizens
with opportunities to earn bread,
shelter and heat.”
More than 1,000,000 men and
women have been thrown out of
work in industry since January,
according to Green, and the rate
j of increase of unemployment is
'“unprecedented.” Union figures
show a further increase in June.
REPORT RICH GOLD
STRIKE ON RAILROAD
NEAR CORDOVA
-X
A gold strike, which if it
proves up to be only half of its
present indications, would mean
the development of a mine that
would equal the Alaska-Juneau
property, was reported at Cor
dova by Emil Helekal, owner of
the United Bakery, who grub
staked Fred Johansen, discover
er, and E. E. Smith, co-discover
er.
Samples of the ore from the
prospect, which is on Goat
Mountain, at Mile Forty-two on
the Copper River Railway, on
the other side of the mountain
from the strike previously made
by Smith, were brought to Cor
dova and sent to Kennecott, to
Fairbanks, to the Alaska-Juneau
mine and to Seattle for assay
ing. Assays made locally, how
ever, show that the ore will run
at least three dollars a ton, Mr.
Helekal said.
The discovery, as described by
Mr. Helekal, was made through
studying the geological forma
tions of the McKinley lake coun
try and the previous find made
by Smith. These indicated that
the granite dyke and the gold
bearing quartz should lie be
tween and prospecting was con
centrated on this area.

AND STILL THEY COME
-x
After several years of backing
and filling, passing the buck and
throwing up smoke screens re
specting the reindeer situation,
it is announced by Secretary
Wilbur of the Interior Depart
ment that the reindeer question
is one of competition involving
the beef interests of the States.
Now we receive the announce
ment that “unit managers” are
being appointed on recommend
ation of Governor Parks and
that they will be stationed in the
reindeer country. The latest to
be named to such office is a
stranger to Alaska, of course,
Len G. Briggs, from Iowa, and
for several years employed by
Aimour & Company of Chicago.
Thus we again witness the
spectacle of the creation of ad
ditional sinecures for political
favorites at a time when the
administration is shouting “e
conomy in the operation of
government” and when Con
gress is working overtime to add
new avenues for taxation on
every item effecting our daily
lives.
! Under the circumstances it
appears to have been a happy
selection in naming an agent of
the beef trust. And again, there
appears to be but a short period
left during which the present
Congress and administration
will be permitted to continue its
mismanagement; therefore if
u quite natural that the faithful j
must be provided for before the
people isspe their mandate of
‘'thumbs dowp.”—Seward Gate-1 1

CHIEF DEPUTY STATTER
CITED FOR CONTEMPT
A | a
J. F. Statter, Chief Deputy,
United States Marsha] was cited
last week for alleged contempt <
of court, in a complaint drawn
by U. S. Attorney H. D. Stabler.
The charge is alleged to have (
been based upon a letter writ-1
ten to Judge Harding by Chief I
Deputy Statter in the absence; i
of Marshal White. The subject
was disbursements of Fund “C,”
directly under the direction of i
the courts of the Territory.
Judge Harding is alleged to have
ordered that no more expendi- J i
tures be made by or thru the!
Marshal’s office from this fund I
without it had first been ap
proved by the Court. Mr. Statter
is said to have replied voicing I
objections distasteful to the
Court.
In a letter to the Court, Mar- <
